Robin is dying. End of story. Anyone who thinks that she is either on house arrest or has gone in hiding to reveal a new, slim Robin in time for her book tour is silly.

not that i disagree, but then why do they keep talking about the future, and her book, and yesterday she was talking about some party she was going to throw? any thoughts?

I think the reason they are deflecting is purely business, and is the reason Howard didn't want Robin to make any announcements. Let's say Robin announced that she had terminal cancer. Cancer would then completely hijack the show going forward. It would be The Cancer Show, the elephant in the room, and the show would cease to be a comedy show (too easy to make a joke here). How could it not? Of course it's still the elephant in the room, but it's a baby elephant. They will make an announcement of some sort when they are forced to make an announcement.

Or it could simply be that Robin wants to keep her health issues private and everyone on the show respects her wishes.

As far as her absence today, it could be that Robin has regularly scheduled doctor's appointments or treatments planned for Fridays since they don't normally work on Fridays.

It's against her nature to keep her mouth shut on health issues. She can't help it. So no, it's not that. She started out talking about it and her pee bag which is very personal and she knew would be humiliating in terms of jokes and parody songs. Howard shut her down. He knows she has a book coming out. He also knows she doesn't have much else in her life. Keeping quiet will make the book HUUUUUUGE when it comes out and she reveals all.

A living wake?
I work as a funeral director and some terminally ill people do throw these kinds of parties.

Oh my God - a friend's mother in law has a 'terminal' illness and she bought her coffin in advance. She had her coffin wrapped in pink cloth with a fuchsia bow on it, because her life has "been a gift". She and her family took a bunch of pictures with it. This was 15 years ago, and she is still kicking. I think some people just need attention.

Wow - she must feel like a fool that she lived 15+ years after making that big circus about her death.

Just like their Woodstock generation colleagues who traded in free love and civil rights for Reagan and 401k plans, Wiggy and the Blob traded in brutal honesty for vain vapidity.

It's totally in character for them to still believe that they have billyuns and billyuns of fans and therefore their thoughts and actions have resonance across the galaxy.

The irony being that if either fucktard came clean with those several thousand of us who still care one way or the other, most of us would probably unite 9/11 style to support them. The choice was theirs.

Robin and eventually Howard won't be the first person to die alone in a castle surrounded by piles of money and paid friends/spouses. It's just depressing to realize just how little they learned from millenia of history.

Its called a wake.

It keeps her spirits up.

Of course and in most instances people always ignore these types of things. Besides, it's morose as shit and most people tend to want to put a positive spin on situations.

What is the name of her next book?

Some caller said he liked "The Chatter" and asked Robin to start the show again. Robin said she would be getting back to doing the show. Sounded kind of farfetched to me- the caller saying he liked the show, and Robin doing the show again.
