    @@river_acheron my bad. I should rephrased my opening sentence. I hope younger generations appreciate how incredible this moment was. My meaning is that there are iconic moments in every generation. And one can only hope that the next generation appreciates the impact of their predecessors. There’s no way younger people can understand something that happened decades before they were born. A different world that they grew up in, the aftermath of these pivotal moments. Me included! I have no understanding of what it was like to grow up during the great depression or WWII. I’m a baby of the 70’s. But I appreciate the journey of those before me because I listened to their stories.

    You do know the Friars roasts from the 70s were more filthy than most things on TV today? You understand that Joan and Betty cursed up a storm during their stand-up acts? Dont act like the 70s and 80s were more wholesome than now. You just couldn't get away with as much on TV then, which is why they are not cursing. Facts

    Comparing them, though, is apples and oranges. Joan was a comedian. Truly. She did stand-up. Betty White, whom I adored, was just a funny lady. Big difference. Both were great. Betty held a special place in my heart because she did so much for animals. They were her first love, I think, as they are mine. Doris Day was another, who adored animals. She died in May of 2019. Two great ladies for animals. Such a loss. Doris Day was another funny lady. She did a lot of movies in the 60s. Some with Rock Hudson. They were so funny.

Most of all, you miss the person who, out of all on earth, most and loudest made you laugh. We fenced jokes, like this. (Invariably, she'd win: of course she did. ) I never imagined she could have had an equal. But now I do. Betty White! The speed, the dexterity, the parry and the lunge! Mesmeric, and heartbreaking.

    Joan's comedy often went over my head when I was a young man, but watching reruns and new performances makes me realize that she was more clever and creative than Carson and less boring than Letterman. She didn't have to appear on TV every night, but when she guest hosted or appeared, she was a barrage of jokes--much like Robin Williams.

He meant it. The Bush crime family is responsible for much of the terrorism that happened in this country. When Bill Clinton took office he also sold Americans jobs away with NAFTA & deregulated banks by repealing with the Glass Steagall Act of 1999. Wave goodbye. He did balance the budget that way, but Bush Jr. spent it immediately after stealing the election, by sending all Americans a $300. check his first 3 months in office. That depleted all the cash on hand; so when he took us to war, there was no $ or plan to pay for it. They just keep printing cash for perpetual wars and giving our money to rich corporations or lobbies and definitely the war machine.

Dig down beyond all the defenses, the illusions, the ego protections, the cognitive distortions and the biases...it's a warriors job. To be that wholly brave to look at oneself, unedited, holding space, and fully accepting...that is very, very rare. It's too scary a proposition for most. Your statement incredibly shared something about you. That you must be pretty hard on yourself, and project it outwards...that you likely have an unaddressed core wound of shame. We can not have empathy if we see ourselves and others through a lens of shame...therefore we readily try to shame others, simply for being human. I hope you can heal.

Perhaps I was projecting that forward, but I still say that Rivers was full of self-hatred which SHE projected on everyone. Unlike Don Rickles, who would always end his bits by acknowledging he's just kidding, that these are jokes, etc., Rivers never did that. In the documentary that followed her around -- she bitched about 'having to' play vegas, or play some small town -- when it was HER CHOICE to do so. She could've retired 10-15 years before her death, but kept going back for the 'love' of applause. Very sad. Hopefully others (including myself) have learned lessons from her sad life.

We abuse ourselves more than almost anyone else does.. her dismissing her own value, invalidating herself through various means...especially the self mutilation and suffering, of cosmetic surgeries. That screams "I'm not enough". If she'd loved, valued, honored herself, had her own back...she would never have decided to do all that. It's sad when people buy into the lies of society, their definitions of beauty, value etc. If each human thought they were enough, didn't live in shame...there would be no market for cosmetics, elective plastic surgery, and a plethora of other services/products, we are sold. Advertisers prey on humans need to belong...by targeting their weakness. Suggesting that if we alter things we might be loved, adored, validated, etc. Accepting oneself is the protection against it all. Takes work, but it's possible 💛

As some would know already, Betty's husband, Allan, had passed away less than 2 years before (1980-1981). She had been married to him for 20 years. She never did remarry in her remaining 40 years but you wouldn't have known she was a widow. Simply remarkable and inspiring. #RIPBettyWhite #RIPJoanRivers #legends

    I'm so grateful to have met both, and they were just as funny and sincere as you would have expected. I met Betty at her book signing of her memoirs, at Beverly Center (back when there was a bookstore... think it was B Dalton's?). She was pleasant and friendly. Still have the book in my bookcase, signed to me and my 2 former cats! 🤗😻😻 I met Joan at Spago, on the Sunset Strip, after celebrating my "graduation from college" dinner. She was with her husband Edgar and another couple. Was nervous, but told her I enjoyed watching her late night show. Also told her had tickets to see the show in a couple of weeks. She gave me name of contact once I went there. Long story short... was able to get 2nd row aisle seat about 10 feet from her, when she did her monolog with the audience. I also was on TV just above her shoulder, as the camera turned towards the audience! Next day had about 1/2 dozen people say they saw me on TV! 😎🤣 Then few years later I went to an open house in Bel Air, that turned out to be Joan & Edgar's mansion, where Melissa grew up! Later was purchased by Janet Jackson! When Joan passed, it hit me hard, as I truly felt I had a personal connection with her, and when Betty passed, it felt like losing my grandmother again! I miss both of them! 😢
