Betty White’s Birthday Surprise; Hysterical Candles for Women and a Driver Gets Fined $337 Because Their Passenger Used a Cellphone
Despite health concerns that worried her fans last year, Betty White continues to awe and amaze. Today marks her 98th birthday! She was born in Oak Park, Ill. on January 17, 1922, and her career has spanned an incredible 75 years.
Betty, being an optimist, told People magazine how important it is to focus on the positive.
“Enjoy life. Accentuate the positive, not the negative. It sounds so trite, but a lot of people will pick out something to complain about, rather than say, ‘Hey, that was great!’ It’s not that hard to find great stuff if you look.”
She also told them that she loves vodka and hot dogs, “probably in that order.” Happy birthday, Betty White!
Are there any women in your life who you think could use a little calm and peace? Well, these new candles might fit the bill, with messages including, “Girl, You Need to Calm the F Down”, and “I Feel Personally Victimized by my Own Child.”
Granted, you might run the risk of having the candles thrown at you in return–but they do have the lovely scent of Japanese cherry trees.
Have you ever been guilty of having your car passenger use a mobile device while you’re driving? Social media users recently swarmed to defend Sheree, from Sydney, who was fined $337 because her passenger was (gasp!) using their cellphone while she drove.
Sheree posted a photo of the fine on social media, saying, “Tell your passengers to stay off their phones while you are driving, I got fined because my passenger was on FaceTime.”
People came to her defense, with replies such as, “How this got passed is beyond me, revenue raising at its worst, penalizing hard working Australians for bull—- like this.”
Another person posted, “F— me talk about money hungry! Government must be so broke you’d get fined for farting in the car and 5 points.”
As crazy as it might sound, the law was put in place to help minimize driver distraction. South Australians Police’s traffic commander, Superintendent Bob Gray said, ‘Mobile phones, GPS devices, and other technology or items in the car can be a major distraction for drivers and divert their attention from the task at hand.”
Fuzzy dice are also prohibited.
