    A friend of mine needs support to potentially (though unlikely) survive

    I have a friend in need, though a positive outcome in this situation seems unlikely. She has been declared brain-dead and they're seeking a second opinion.

    Katie was involved in a horrible accident on Friday night (6/25). She was found unconscious and … Kristina Kaz needs your support for Saving Katie San Filippo


    I'm not asking for your donation. This is the only real piece of information on her accident is all.

      I didn't realize doctors were motivated to declare someone braindead quickly if they're an organ donor. Hopefully second opinions will help and there will be a positive outcome, keep us updated

        I was typing "Operation Sports Forums" into Google, but I must've mis-typed "forums" and it corrected to "Operation Sports Farms".

        Should we start a farm? What would we grow? And would we be a good farm, or a crap one?

          It sounds more like an OS minor league system. To post on this forum, you need to work your way through the OS Farm System and eventually get called up to the big time.

            Just read Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory movie is now 50 years old.

            For some reason I always imagined it was older than that. Like from the 1950s or something. It's been a classic movie for decades now.

              yes.

              and we'd be a great farm.

              there's always some killing you gotta do around the farm''

                A friend of hers close to the situation says she is at Stanford hospital now, but given her condition they are deciding to pull the plug. I do not know when.

                There is another friend gone too soon.

                        Whoa, didn't even notice the old record got broken. I think that record was triggered by a Super Bowl commercial that prompted people to google search something that ended up bringing up a OS forum thread as a top result.

                        Anyway 1/30/21 was 2 days before the announcement of EA Sports College Football so it wasn't that
