She's a big fave down here in Kumamoto. I'd love to meet her someday. Apparently, with the help of hes son, she's managed to monetize her photos. Good for her.

Really? Side-splitting? Who writes these articles?

Nearly 90, active with a sense of humor. Pretty cool.

I tend to side with RealCDN on this one. So many millennials embarrass themselves on social media these days in the pursuit of attention, its a bit of a foreign idea to see the elderly fall prey to this narcissism.

I think what we have here is an old lady who like the millennials, is lonely. And perhaps being exploited by her family.

Good on her, keeping busy and enjoying her days.

Dignity is lacking.

Do you have any idea of what the word dignity means? What she is doing is most worthy of honor and respect, if only for her age. To show people that just because someone gets old, they don't lose their sense of humor!

I would say your comment here lacks dignity!
