1800+ views !!! Are you kidding me !!!
To whoever keeps viewing…stop it, Stop It, STOP IT !!!
For Chrissake let this women go already, she died in October 2012 and with the exception of “Tipit” and breathing for 76 years, accomplished NOTHING.
Please visit her grave and STOP forcing this obit to the favored posts.
Apparently, it’s only one person’s favorite.
AWESOME !!!!!
Another 200 hits in one day !!!
WOW she really must have been something else.
Why not do something a little more constructive with your life.
How about volunteering for the same number of hours you sit there and read the same obit over and over again? Nothing has changed since the first 500 times you checked. How about having a mass in her memory if you are religious. Even better, how about a tatoo of that mug on your hand. You could stare at it all day long.
Hey-
Great to see the progress. Only 1300 more hits then old Gertie will be NUMBER ONE!
Everyone in the East Bay can’t wait.
I hope you can achieve this lofty goal before the weekend.
Keep at it – I know you can do it!
Come on Gertie lover – you can do it – only 300 more clicks of that mouse and you’ll climb the latter to number 3.
Gertie’s squirming in the grave just waiting to get to #1 !!!
When she finally makes it – I think I’ll celebrate with a game of TipIt !
