Hey guys! What topic unrelated to the actual point of the thread are we arguing about today?
Would you say the Bohemians won, or Ferdinand II ran out of time?

Horned FrogEliminatus said:Ok. You can disagree with a saying. There are several I hate too tbh. I have zero interest in defending it myself. Just explaining it and reacting to your what is now obvious passion about it. I can respect that. I know you're a doc and probably in the field or adjacent so completely understood. I get the essence behind the saying but also not a particular fan either so never use it myself.jwoodmd said:First, I didn't bring up the sports reference. She said don't you Aggies use that. Pretty poor analogy in my opinion.Eliminatus said:Holy **** dude. Pump the brakes. Its not a sports thing. It's a reference to the fact that most call it a "battle" against cancer. Fairly common too, at least in my part of the world. It means that the cancer patient did not "lose" the battle but fought the cancer to a draw. Its just a way to append some level of positivity to the whole mess, usually for the survivors.jwoodmd said:You're equating a sporting event where we ran out of time but live to play another day to dying from cancer. Wow!swimmerbabe11 said:
you've never heard that at a sporting event? We didn't lose, we just ran out of time? I've heard countless aggies say that.
but also... what is death, if not literally running out of time?
Also, the cancer's goal is to kill you even at its own expense. If it really wanted to "win" and not die to cause a draw by killing you as alluded to by the other poster, then it's goal would be to leave you in an incurable state of illness to continually feed the cancer.
There is zero negative context to that statement. Actually the literal opposite.
And "holy **** dude" yourself - from where I'm coming from in my profession, unless you die at an old age of natural causes, you lost your fight to live longer. A "draw" is where both you and the cancer live but neither can get the better of the other. No death and no remission.
Wait, swimmy isn't an Ag? That's the real takeaway here....

3 of her 4 most popular shows:
1. Little House on the Prairie - Melissa Gilbert wanted nothing to do with her later.
2. Beverly Hills 90210 - By about season 4, all cast and crew want her gone.
3. Charmed - Leaves show after conflicts with cast.
And then on Our House, she gave Wilford Brimley diabetes.
However, now that I'm about her age, I feel that no one should have to die that young. Hope she was at peace and with family. Cancer sux

Wait she was on Little House?! Seriously did not know that.
You were always about her age then, and previously you felt that people should die that young?Iowaggie said:

Yes, season 9 when it was called "Little House: A New Beginning" and focused on Laura/ Almanzo and the town. (Ma/ Pa had moved away.) She played their niece Jenny who lives with them after her father dies while they are visiting.

I watched some of her Podcasts and this is not exactly true.
she was best friends with Tori Spelling for the first 3 years of 90210. Then Spelling was dating a guy who was beating her and taking drugs which ended their friendship. then Doherty was dating a guy who was using drugs and beating her- which caused her to be late to set several times
finally some of the cast went to the producer and asked for her to be gone- but it was also because Doherty was on the front cover of Rolling Stone without the other women. and even then Spelling and Brian Austin Green did not agree with going to get her fired
Doherty was great friends with Holly Marie Combs to the day she died, it was the B@#@# Alyssa Milano who was jealous and wanted her gone.
