Life is short, and every day I'm reminded in one million ways.

Taking pictures in my mind of my children's smiles.

Past simple

Of the bird landed on my chair, baking crumbs.

The Mockingbird song that breaks the morning stillness.

I am home sitting in my chair alone in the quiet.

Hello and welcome, it is so great to see all of you this week.

And it was very interesting that last video I did.

I got so many comments and I want to thank all of you that gave kind positive comments to one another.

It just shows you how divided we are in this country and in this world.

But anyway, I thought it was a very interesting topic and I really appreciate all of your comments.

And today because I have had so many assumptions that I was not able to get through the last video I did.

I thought it might be fun today to be just on a little lighter note.

To address some of the assumptions that everyone has sent in that you have about me.

I think I got close to 75 different assumptions about me.

So it would be very interesting to start covering them today.

I was born under, oh what sign were you born under?

Well I was born under the sign of the rabbit.

But if I had my druthers, I probably would like to be born under the sign of a lioness.

Because she's strong and loving and protects her family.

And I think I'm more of a lioness than I am a rabbit.

Because rabbits procreate and hop around from here to there and everywhere.

Okay, the next one is when did you let your hair grow gray and did you have trouble deciding to go natural?

And I had my hair dyed because I was blonde.

It was getting to be kind of a mousy color.

Darker highlights to give my hair a little bit of life.

So I went in. I had never had my hair dyed before.

The technician didn't give me a patch test the way they're supposed to.

Well, I wound up with the worst allergic reaction.

And I had oozing blisters and sores all over my face.

In order to get rid of that dye, I had to go back and they had to strip the color out of my hair completely.

At that point then, I was a platinum blonde.

But I felt I was too young to be platinum like that.

And I found a person who did herbal dyes.

And I dyed my hair with henna until I was in my early 70s.

And the reason I quit dyeing my hair is because the henna wasn't grabbing the white hair that was underneath.

My hair was getting to be really, really orange.

And so I was more or less forced to let it go gray.

And when I found out what was under that henna, probably for quite a few years, I was pleasantly surprised.

Going from a mousy, blonde, no color at all to allergic reactions to henna for quite a few years.

And what I did, I did then when my henna was orange.

And henna is really hard to get out of your hair.

I had my technician bleach my hair out and she cut it short so that a lot of the henna on my ends disappeared.

But I know it's very, very difficult to let your hair grow out.

But believe me, I think because our skin changes, everything changes as we get older.

And I really think from my perspective, and everybody doesn't have to do this, but for me, going natural was the best way because then my hair was more or less matching my complexion and how everything in my whole skin had changed because of the aging process.

How long were you on TV with Romper Room?

I was on television with Romper Room probably for a total of three years.

Now, that doesn't seem like a very long time, but it was seemed like a long time because it was every single day, five days a week.

And I was lucky because my television station where I was doing Romper Room,

I got an offer to be an anchor person and have my own talk show.

So I quit doing Romper Room with the blessings of the Claster family and I moved up to having my own talk show and being the nightly news anchor for a CBS affiliate.

But I loved every single minute I was on Romper Room.

And it was a very, very special time in my life.

The next assumption is, do you feel overwhelmed with your responsibility here on YouTube?

Sometimes I do, but I really, really enjoy it.

About three weeks ago or closer to a month ago,

I was contacted by a big advertising agency who is going to be producing a new television show for cable.

And they asked me if I would like to co-host the program.

I was completely honored and I thought about it for a while.

And then I realized at my age, I really would rather spend time on YouTube.

I would have probably have to have given up this channel.

And I really love all of you and I feel very comfortable here on YouTube.

And I just felt at my age, I didn't want to dedicate so much of my time working and being away from my family and then not enjoying the pleasures of being almost 86.

I turned down the offer and I don't regret it at all.

But as far as being overwhelmed with this, not really very much because I enjoy being with you.

I enjoy my community and I really like the interaction that I get with each and every one of you.

But anyway, when you were married to Arthur, did your future financial situation become more secure and less worry for you?
