She left a legacy of really, really beautiful rejoinders and old-timey comebacks to people calling in to her free-advice program. She's a classic. If youaven't enjoyed the Fruitcake Lady, here are some samples: Sample 1 Memorial Remarks by Jay Leno Relationship Advice Brilliant Advice Words of Wisdom A great loss to the civilized world. Enjoy!

This is sometimes very healing. My best thoughts are with you and your family. And BTW, d'ya know how to save YouTube videos by any chance? ~Susan |

I guess it just proves you can say anything, whether crude, hurtful, or crass, when you get to a certain age. Entertaining to some, I suppose, but not to me. |

They just put up a new version. |

12 Dec 06 - 07:09 PM (#1907901) Subject: RE: BS: The Fruitcake Lady Passes On From: Amos How odd to have helpful advice, offered to a friend in good faith, suddenly thrown back in one's face in a sarcastic vein. Kat, I'd suggest you watch a couple of the links. She is not a hurtful person, but she is refreshingly honest. A |

12 Dec 06 - 07:43 PM (#1907929) Subject: RE: BS: The Fruitcake Lady Passes On From: Cluin Leno should mourn the passing of the Fruitcake Lady. As it is with her, so it is with his audience. They're all dying off. 90 is about the average age of people still watching that lame show. They should have retired it along with Johnny. |
