Good egg eaters think alike.

Yes to red or green peppers as well.

I need to fry up my eggs with some shrimp now. Didn’t Kramer on Seinfeld steal some lobsters on Long Island and put ‘em in his eggs?

Gene Hackman and his wife tested negative for carbon monoxide. He had a pacemaker and the data revealed he was dead for 9 days.

Anyone have any theories?

I think there was some weird suicide/death pact between them. Or maybe the wife just went crazy and Hackman died and she decided to go too. Pills were found next to his wife. Why let the dog suffer and die but let the other two live?

It’s all very strange. There was clearly no forced entry. A place like that inside a gated community would’ve had plenty of cameras. Due to his celebrity status, even retired- probably a good security system as well.

Crab omelette sounds good too. ...Lobster par for the course.

It's a tough one to decipher with so little information so far.

But I think it has some' to do with money (50/50).

Def tough to decipher.

Yup…site it running smoother. Mods cut about 50% of the traffic which is significant.

I don’t think there was any suicide death pact. If I had to hypothesize what happened, I say that Gene passed away and Betsy found him. In her grief, she took pills to end her life so she could be with him in the afterlife. If there was some kind of pact, wouldn’t they have been next to each other and notified someone to take care of the dogs? However, until toxicology report comes back, we won’t really know with the details we have now. Did they say who the thyroid meds and blood pressure meds were?

And she put the barking dog in the closet so that she could rest peacefully.
I thought about that too. It's going to be tough to know exactly; but the autopsy results should help.

And speaking of eggs; would be happy to make a "deal" with the USA

Was the closet closed? The few articles I read didn’t mentioned if the closet was closed or opened. The dog could have ate some of the pills that may have spilt on the floor and just moved to the closet before dying. Another thing, perhaps she, in her distraught, didn’t realize the dog was in the closet if she had closed the door.

I didn’t really word my post right but what you said is what I was trying to convey.

Gene died and she took her own life to end her grief. Odd that it happened in a different room. We’ll learn much more once the toxicology reports & full autopsy results come in.

[LordoftheRings]

Gene's pacemaker shut down on February 17, nine days before his body was discovered.
Who knows what happened after he fell down on the floor of the mudroom and died.
Then we can all speculate why his wife didn't call 911 and instead was found dead in the bathroom. ...And one of the three dogs.

The autopsie's results of the bodies can take months.

The dog that passed away was a German shepherd and was found 10 to 15 feet from Arakawa (Gene's wife), who was found lying on her side on the bathroom floor. The dog was found dead in its crate or kennel, as noted by Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza, and this kennel was found in a closet of the bathroom, according to the search warrant.

Was the closet closed? I assume so, or they would have said "in a open closet".

It's all so very sad; like many other things in our world.

Either way, very tragic, and I should probably just quite assuming/speculating on things until results of the autopsy and toxicology results are revealed.

If the dog was inside an open kennel they wouldn't have found him inside, or maybe.
If the closet was open then the kennel was closed.
If the closet was closed then the dog was inside the closet.
If both the kennel and the closet were closed, then ...
If both were closed, then ...

Can take three months; autopsies results.

Methinks his wife took the way to heavens, and in secret peace ... R.I.P.

Wondering...well a few things I guess. I'm wondering what I'll do when I get home and before I go to bed before work. Maybe I'll watch another YouTube video in the 45-60 minute range. I miss watching movies on a regular basis but I just haven't gotten into a movie watching rhythm with this schedule. I think if I were to watch a movie daily, it would be in the morning after I get home from work.

Also, there are two girls sitting not too far from me and one has this big plate of just rice pilaf, from what I can tell and it looks pretty good. I'm wondering where she got it from. This little market has a few places to get food.

And also, I'm wondering what I'll get to eat tomorrow lol I'm still hungry but I'll just go home and have something else rather than get anything else while I'm out. I'd like to get clam chowder tomorrow, or at least I feel like it now, but I'd have to get gas to get up there and back so I'll pass. Tomorrow might be a KFC (probably) or Panda Express (not as likely) day.

That is all.

It's almost as exciting as sitting in an oval office, almost.

After yesterday, I've got music on my mind.

I will be leaving for the hospital tomorrow for my third surgical procedure in 30 days. I will be there until at least March 5th with a 50% chance of being hospitalized.

I am having a Greenlight Laser Prostatectomy done where a cystoscopy probe with a green laser attachment is routed up the urethra to the prostate. Once there, the green laser is used to vaporize the excess prostate tissue that is causing bladder blockage. The green laser also cauterizes as it goes reducing the bleeding substantially.

I will be under general anesthesia for the whole thing. There are many potential side effects from the painful common ones to the rare life threatening ones. The potential benefits last about 5 years. Recovery takes 4-6 weeks.

My heart condition complicates things as it does with everything, so this procedure is a bit riskier for me.

Here is a 90 second animated video if anyone cares to see it placed behind spoilers for those that do not want to see it:

Please wish me luck and have a better week than I will.
