(1,945 posts)I kept hearing about the magazine article, some televised party that's already been filmed I think and others going on about her 100th bday celebrations. I kept thinking don't do this, don't talk about it like it's a done deal, it's still two weeks away. When I heard this morning I thought well, there you go! (I don't actually think all of that had any real effect on her death, but shows like you said don't count your chickens etc)

Please Betty White, why didn't you post on your Twitter that you died?!?!?!
phylny
(8,380 posts)a family member or agent post on social media to announce their death or after they are dead.
Not Ed Asners family.
ESPECIALLY not Herman Cains family.

I interviewed her in her dressing room at one point, and she had a big jar of gummy bears close at hand. She grabbed a fistful and invited me to do the same. Sharing gummy bears with Betty White!
RIP, dear lady.

My grandmother also died just two weeks short of her 100th birthday. She was lucid to the end. She said she had a pretty good run. I would agree.

You inspired us so, showed so much grace and dignity, and yet at other times, made us roar with laughter at ourselves. Your empathy for the animal world and our beloved pets was unsurpassed. RIP Betty White!

Why do people say "grow some balls"? Balls are weak and sensitive. If you wanna be tough, grow a vagina. Those things can take a pounding.
