Oh man, I just the other day read an article where she talked about what was giving her the longevity. She seemed like a really nice lady. RIP.

Just saw it on FB and I honestly have no words.

The world is indeed a darker place now.

I remember her from the Mary Tyler Moore show. My grandparents watched it religiously.


And yep, 2021 just had to deliver one more kick square in the nuts.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

We recently watched "Hard Rain" because Betty White was in it. I had never heard of the movie, we came up with it by searching for movies she was in. The movie is chock full of 90s celebs including Morgan Freeman, Minnie Driver, Christian Slater, Randy Quaid, and even Ed Asner. She did a great job in her role, and overall the movie was entertaining and relatively believable.

My wife tells me there are a number of magazines in stores right now with "Betty White turns 100!" as their cover story. Too late to change I guess.

Yep, they were being printed and staged for delivery some time, in some cases weeks, before she shuffled off this mortal coil.

Just noticed "Forever" seems to be crossed out.

Why is Forever Crossed Out on Forever Stamps?
Something that many find confusing is why when they look at Forever® Stamp designs, the word Forever is crossed out. Why is Forever crossed out on the stamp? A quick answer is, it isn’t. When you actually buy the stamp, you’ll find the word ‘Forever’, or any of the other purpose words such as ‘Postcard’ will not be crossed out. For viewing purposes, you can see what the stamp looks like in the preview online, without giving digital thieves the ability to simply copy the image and print their own counterfeit stamps illegally, and possibly even sell them to you!

Not like it would be hard to photoshop that out. USPS must still think it's 1950.
