I don’t think she’s a teenager any longer. I have no idea what she weighs now. I hope she’s stayed in reasonable shape ... in which case, she’s doin’ it better than me.

Who knows. Forty years is a long time between now and Olympic glory. It is pretty shocking that she and her family had to use GoFundMe.
Here's praying that she can get this sorted out.
To: plain talk
Her life has been in a tailspin recently...she was sick not long ago, evidently didn’t have health insurance and was begging for $$$$ with a GoFundMe account...
She was America’s first big time gymnastics darling. Think the Peggy Fleming of gymnastics. How its come to this is mind boggling...

1984-that winning smile. Beautiful. Reagan was reelected. ‘I’ll be watching you’. I turned 30 and became a conservative.A few months ago I finished writing a memoir. Growing up in the Eighties gets a chapter all its own. Especially 1984. That year was lightning in a bottle.
To: Hot Tabasco
Speculation is because of multiple hip surgeries she could not get insurance, or its cost was exhorbitant.

Yours is even better! The Rooskies reversed course and gave her the highest score for a change.

Where’d you get French fries at 1:30 a.m.?
In Alabama, Whataburger would be a good bet.

When I was in college…Whataburger. And there was generally a line of cars in the drive-thru at that hour.

Scrooged, a movie I didn’t like for the longest time but I don’t know why.
Watch it every Christmas.

” she is not insured. We ask that if could help in any way”
The DUI doesn’t shock me, can happen easily w/.08 as the standard.
After her olympic performances, she was on Wheaties boxes, and every other commercial on TV. What did she do with the money?
Hard to feel sorry for these so-called “stars”, when they can’t save a dime. She should be living comfortably, and have insurance, as well.

She was on the motivational speaker circuit in the 1990’s.
To: Ciaphas Cain
If she went from
to
that's pretty sad. But hey, being from West Virginia
and NOT using anything else is a big plus.
