Imagine being in hospice and your birthday still has the power to shut down a major world government.
Jimmy is a good man. He deserves that honour.
This is some weird shit.
wow, I had no idea he was still alive.
He went into hospice care 8 months ago, and is still here kickin.
Apprently his family, a stunning amount of letters and well wishers, and peanut butter ice cream have kept him upbeat and vibrant.
I've never had peanut butter ice cream, but with the clear benefits I'm willing to endure trying some.
Endure what? One of the most delicious things you'll ever eat? Unless you're allergic to peanuts, you should go get some immediately.
Why hospice, is he terminally ill?
There are articles out there, but as I recall it's just generally "you're 99" medical care he's declining.
He wanted to live out the rest of his life naturally, and it seems to be working.
EDIT: Heres one. Basically, they dont clarify what the issue may be, but after 8 months with no treatment and hes still going, i dont think its anything specific.
He’s 99 years old
