She did amazing with what she had to work with. I'd call that winning, even for all of the crap she went through. That's why I said she had a good run. She made the most of it.

In an interview with Marie Claire South Africa in 2018, Turner said: "People think my life has been tough, but I think it's been a wonderful journey. The older you get, the more you realise it's not what happened, it's how you deal with it."

I wouldn't necessarily recommend it, but it works if you pick it apart. :) I'm making a mental note of it to not use it here now, because we have a lot of people who speak English as a second language here, and I try to be mindful of that, but my writing style doesn't really lend itself to being easily accessible to everyone. :(

If someone reads you and doesn't understand you, but doesn't ask as I did... it is not your problem.

I understand what you're saying. I'm descriptivist though, and at the end of the day part of that means I feel it's my job to convey what I mean to my audience, and if they didn't understand it, then *I* can do better.

Very much missed, indeed! I will never forget her performance as The Acid Queen in "Tommy: A Rock Opera." May she be, at long last, at peace. :rose:
