When you think about compulsive users of Facebook, you don’t think of anybody over the age of, say, 30.  Granted, some of the heaviest Facebook users I know are middle-aged folks, but I know some weird middle-aged folk and the average Facebook user skews closer to college than to the retirement home.  Not Lillian Lowe.  Lillian, a 103-year-old woman from Tenby, England, is thought to be the oldest person on Facebook.

“I love it — it’s very exciting.  It’s a wonderful way of finding out about things,” said Lillian of her Facebook account.  “I recommend it for any grandparents to keep in touch with family.”

Amazingly enough, last year Lillian didn’t have a Facebook account or an iPad.  She was introduced to both of them by her 47-year-old grandson Steve.  Lillian has 34 friends on Facebook, including her 7 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren.  The previous oldest user of Facebook, Ivy Bean of Bradford, England, passed away in July at age 104.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
