Oh please u know i heard of a 91 year old Gramma working at Burger King . Baby boomers n those old people are beyond geriatric help n plus that's barely an old age
Mary is far more capable than people half her age . Just making it though the Campfire That was the most deadly fire in California HISTORY (and not what the reporter said as it being one of them it was THE MOST DEADLY FIRE) I was there also and like I tell people I was in Vietnam for a year and the Campfire was way worse
Beats Walmart greeter any day
I wouldn’t trust her with my life
Absurd! She's delusional. Why humor her?
Kinda seems like a liability but she’s in charge of her own life. More power to her
Cause a 75 year old grandma is just who you want to show up when your house is on fire.
