an old lady! My daughter called the Ms. Betty white an "old lady!" I told her "you can't call her that, you know her name!" She said "yes, but she is an old lady!" Grrr..I love Betty White and I can't believe she is 88 years old. She's still going strong. She is so active too. Her new tv series starts tonight titled "Off There Rockers." I am anxious to see this one.

I too love Betty White. However, I have to admit that I've been known to refer to her as being an old lady. You know one of the reasons that I don't think it is offensive to call her an old lady is because of the fact that she is such a positive part of popular culture. I don't think that there has ever before been a senior citizen that has ever given older individuals such a positive look to younger society. I sincerely hope that Betty White will be able to continue going strong until her time on this earth is over.

I love Betty White too. She is going to be 90 on the 17th of January, in fact a week from today. She is an old lady but I would never refer to her as such. For ninety she is and acts younger then my own mom who will be 77 years old on Saturday, the 12th. She is an inspiration to so many and I just love that the younger generation loves her as much as us older generation. I remember first watching her on Password when her husband Allen Ludden was the host. She was great then and she is still great and going strong. I love "Off There Rockers" it is hysterical!

Betty White is one of the funniest Old Ladies I know. My brother always called my mom Old Lady, which brings back fond memories.

I was teasing my daughter. I know she's old. I do think though if she knows who someone is, she should use their names and she knows who she is from all of those Golden Girls reruns. It would be more respectful to refer to her as Betty White. She really does have a lot of energy. I sure hope I have that much energy when I get that age.

I am amazed by Betty White. She will be 90 years old this month. What a bundle of energy. I don't even see her as old. One of my favorite performances of Betty White is in a Hallmark movie that she performed in last year or the year before, called: http://www.hallmarkspiritclips.com/films/lostvalentine I thought Ms. White's performance in this movie was one of her best performances. In my opinion, it is a movie worth watching. I will look forward to seeing her in new TV series. Just shows you that older women can do anything and especially, keep on acting and being in front of the camera. Good for Betty White!!!

I just love Betty White. I will have to look for that movie "lost Valentine". Valentines has never really been all that special of an occasion for me, but that can always change. I have that "hallmark holiday" attitude, probably has something to do with the people in my life. She sure is an awesome lady. I agree too, older women can do anything that younger women can do. She is a true example for all of us.
