Richard had a certainty about what was happening nobody bothered to contest.

So you likely have the wrong

In reply to Hello ARTA...

So you likely have the wrong obit/wrong person posted up top in your original post, whatever 4 days too late refers to.

Thumbs up to you... ~OGD~

You are welcome OGD. Richard was a great poster, he is missed.

There was this thread about Richard by "barefooted" in June

http://dagblog.com/arts/you-made-us-proud-be-daggers-mr-day-31603

I posted the same obituary on it that you did.

And barefooted got upset with me for doing it.

I didn't totally understand why, suspect she did not want to see an obituary, perhaps she wanted to write poetry instead.

I apologized to her and everyone else if I upset them. (And then later she apologized for her reaction and edited her entry including the line about making presumptions.)

And Michael Wolraich came on the thread and seemed very upset and said something about how it cannot be the correct obituary, because Richard talked about living alone and not having a wife but having a son and his son's wife and the two nieces which he mentioned as doting on in many blogs.

But Michael removed his comments later.

It was not a pleasant experience for anyone involved. I'd rather not be involved in such an experience again, I'd rather keep my thoughts to myself.

I learned not to guess about whether an obituary is about someone I knew online unless I was sure of the details.

One other thing I should mention. Michael Wolraich does have my email from Linked In interactions. He wrote me months before barefooted's post asking if I knew what happened to Richard Day. (I did not except what Richard wrote in a blog about doctors "fixing" him, I had only interacted with him here and at TPMCafe.) Michael must have been writing everyone who might know. He seemed upset then too.

And finally note as it is unclear what you mean by "four days ago": that the obituary you have posted, which may or may not refer to our Richard Day (and probably not, unless he was totally making up stories about a different family online), is not from 4 days ago but from more than a year ago.

Edit to add: barefooted edited her own blog entry later, what you see there now is not what she wrote originally.

This was my comment in that thread and Dick's reply.

Dear Dick...

I've been MIA for months from Dag due to exactly what you have described here:

The experience of simply getting dressed in the morning became more difficult.

Over the last two years, I had difficulty walking more than a mile.

I would find myself out of breath.

I would find myself in cold and hot sweats.

I would find my limbs sore and almost disabled.

I would find my mind without aim or purpose.

Beginning in May or June, I could not walk two blocks without severe problems.

Now Dick, I promise you, I'm off to the cardio-pulmonologist for a cardiac assessment post haste.

Ducky, they fixed me.

No kidding.

I just have other issues that are keeping me from posting.

See the doc as soon as possible.

They know what they are doing.

I was referring to the obituary date of death and posting it 4 days late...

On 01/05/2021 I found the link to the following post in my personal files.

And then found it here at Dag and I posted the following in that thread on Tue, 01/05/2021

Wow... Dick!? reviving this.

I just found my saved reply in my old computer files.

As dick said: "We are all dying."

Say that three times, slowly
