Baxter, 62, said she started dating women several years ago, but before that, being gay "had never crossed my mind."

Why not buy a cat instead.

My mom is about 65 and looks 20 years younger than that skank.

Smoking, drinking and drugs take a toll on your body.

I was thinking the same thing, my mother is 75 and looks younger than meredith.

[massgopguy]

After three tries, YOU are the problem.

[tuffydoodle]

A good argument for sunscreen.

[TSgt]

Allow me, I'd hit it!

From hardwood to grey shag carpeting. It’s Baxters’ Place.

Aging actress, tough or impossible to find acting gigs, used to a comfy life style, possessing a career-obsession which demands public attention........whatever.......it beomes high time for a "shocking revelation" and a "dramatic announcement" to get back into a spotlight of sorts.

A familiar SOP with more than a few Hollyweirdo and other entertainment types.

But, in many cases it works....Meredith will now be making the talk-show circuit and then will be hired to to reveal her ancient boobs from the stage during the Super Bowl half-time show.

American culture eats this stuff up.

To bad I always thought she was kinda hot in Family Ties, but hey after 62 years its good she figured out she was born that way.

[trisham]

I wonder why she thought anyone cared?

[RichInOC]

I remember her when I was a grade-school kid and she was doing “Bridget Loves Bernie”. Trust me on this, back in the Seventies and Eighties, we would have hit it.

So, after driving three men completely insane in three marriages she figured it out.

"No Man can stay married to me! What's wrong with all of them?"

[concerned about politics]

A 62 year old lesbian? Oh man. I've got to get that picture out of my head.
(Sheesh. Now I'm going to therapy for the rest of my life.)

[MNDude]

that’s what I was thinking. Does anyone have that graphic?

[Past Your Eyes]

Hey, it’s all the rage these days, ain’t it?

[Sybeck1]

Well, at least it wasn’t Mallory. That is the only reason I watched that show.

[MARTIAL MONK]

Jeez, Thanks a lot. Now I'm gay.

“Allow me, I’d hit it!”

Sorry, Mike, but you don’t seem to be getting the gist of this whole thread...no, you would NOT hit it...unless Mike is short for Michelle...
