Oh, man. Nancy's wearing giant Morty Seinfeld glasses.

[Fenris]

Yikes!

1. why six days until the funeral?

I'm NOT watching TV or anything with the endless glorification of RR so what is the excuse for the long time between death and the funeral? Even JFK---young and dead unexpectedly through murder was buried with full honors in 3 days. What is the reason given for this looooong time lag with Reagan? Are the openly saying that they are dragging it out?

4. It will probably take six days to gather up the 1,000 virgins

who will be buried alive with the Gipper.

5. AHH well... chalk it up to

POLITICS!

[notadmblnd]

11. they want to make sure he's nice and ripe....

before they put him in the ground?:shrug:

18. Somebody wants a JFK-like event, I think, - won't happen no matter

how badly they want it due to R.R.'s advanced age, no young family, to mourn him,and the fact that he didn't die in office.
Plus, to me, he just never began to have Kennedy's charisma. This funeral, regardless of the pomp and circumstance, will never be recorded indelibly in the national memory as the JFK one will always be.

2. The daughter (can't remember her name)

looks so tacky. You'd think they could have found her a decent outfit to wear. Something other than a black mini half-way up her thighs.

[Fenris]

3. Hey, she was in Playboy.

That IS classy.

[LTR]

21. Patti still looks good

for whatever age she is.

Hey, it's California.

[VolcanoJen]

6. What's that?????

OH... it's a flag-draped coffin. I'd almost forgotten what they looked like.

[Fenris]

7. He's a real American HERO (TM)! It inspires patriotism!

:eyes:

[ronnykmarshall]

8. Good one, Jen!

[Commendatori]

9. Yeesh.

She can't afford a normal-looking pair?

[trof]

10. Was that Merv Griffin in the back row?

Looked like him.

[Fenris]

12. Wasn't he a friend of Bonny Prince Ronnie?

[peekaloo]

13. someone posted last night that Meerrrrrvvvv would be a pallbearer

[kskiska]

17. Nancy lunches with Merv all the time

He's one of her best friends.

[Southsideirish]

14. Why do so many older people in the spotlight wear them?

I know Cary Grant used to, also, on a local level, Harry Carey, Cubs announcer.
I've seen others, too - reminds me of Joan Crawford's eyebrows. I think it may be an old show biz trick to move the eye of the onlooker to the upper part of the face and away from the droopy, jowly bottom part of the face.

[Fenris]

15. Harry Carey made the look work, though.

[Southsideirish]

19. True - I can't imagine him without them! nt

[MoonRiver]

16. Will somebody post a picture PLEASE!

I refuse to watch t.v. right now and don't know what you're talking about!

[Fenris]

20. Here:

22. I like them..and I'm older...I guess it's a senior thing....and I could

care less about RR and family....but I did feel sorrow for her at the casket...they had a long relationship and no matter what else transpired...she will miss him.

[MoonRiver]

23. The loss of a spouse one loved is always tragic.

My parents are approximately Nancy's age (actually I don't know how old she is, but I assume its within a decade of Ron's age), and either one will be devastated when the other passes.
