Betty White has passed. RIP.

 

" she didn't have any sudden illness, nor was she battling any particular ailment. We're told she's believed to have died from natural causes."

They were going to make a show about her 100th birthday... guess that won't happen now.

 

She was a funny lady. On and off the screen. Let her rest in peace, and continue living in memories.

The show will continue as scheduled as a tribute to her, its been stated.

Funny, very cool lady.

OK, Charlie.....

 

However, most interesting to me is what her life was like up to the age of 7.

 

As we are always told, and this may likely be true, personality is formed and fixed by age 7.

 

More than this, 100 years ago, I am tempted to take another look at what life, in general, was like for this woman, then.

 

I enjoy looking back in order to see just how much our world has changed in 100 years.

 

This woman was a product of her early years, and also the early years of her parents and friends.

 

These days, we are living in a completely changed world.

 

For example, the very act of reading a novel has become passé these days.

 

Look back 100 years and you might find things that you might wish had not been lost.

 

Things like, but not limited to, the thylacine, and Groucho Marx.

 

Those were the days, for sure.

 

 

Happy New Year, CharlieH......

 

Best to you, and yours!

I don't want to be 100, or even 80. There is absolutely nothing in a "rest home" that I want to experience as a unit of income for the greedy corporation that will run it for profit.
