Happy birthday whoppie. I saw you on the view today and was really in agreement with you about the ‘gay’ issue,so many children need loving homes. Whats wrong with us as Americans, when so manyother countries have accepted them in the armed services and let them marry as theywish, the world didnt come to an end because of that. I hope the younger peo[le will be more tolerant in the years to come.

Hi Whoopi, I hope you have had a great day. I have to say I thought you were older, you’ve done so much in such a short time. I loved the look you had on your face this morning as you said thank you to your mom for giving birth to you. My dad would have been 84 today, we lost him to renal failure 2 yrs ago. I miss him terribly esp., today. I agree with most all you say on the views you speak everymorning. Good luck this whole next year. God bless you. A Loving Fan, AnneMarie

If Ben Franklin said, “We grow too soon old and too late wise.” That’s ‘cause he never met Whoopie. 53? That’s 12 celsius. Thanks so much for keeping it chill.
