William "Billy" D. Mays, Jr.
July 20, 1958 - June 28, 2009
You can say what you want about Jacko, but the world lost a real icon today.....Billy Mays.
A day doesn't go by that Grandma J doesn't think about Billy Mays as she breaks out her Oxyclean or Orange Glo....and recently it's the Hercules Hooks that have been front and center as she decorates her new digs at the Spa.
And Really? Have you tried KABOOM?
Yes, Billy is an Icon with a uppercase I and he will be missed by anyone who drips food down the front of their shirts or clogs their toilets, has experienced the amazing products he invented.
RIP Billy Mays, Grandma J will miss you.

On a happier note!
It's Baby Girl's Birthday!
That's right, once again, Grandma J's youngest child is celebrating a birthday. Baby Girl Lives in Colorado, and has a wonderful husband and two gorgeous guys....
.... who are getting ready for fun and action at Grandma J's come August. Can you say P.A.R.T.Y?
Happy Birthday Kelly, I love you!
I know I owe you all a movie review.....it's coming!

Happy Birthday to Kelly (nice name!) she has adorable boys! Lucky Grandma!!
I'm sorry to hear about Billy Mays.
Happy Birthday to Kelly!
Also, I had no idea about Billy Mays. All of this is shocking and reinforces to me the importance of living life to the fullest and not putting off to tomorrow what you want to do today.
On that note, I'm off to the kitchen to eat a pizza.
Happy Birthday to Kelly!
I can not believe Billy Mays is gone! OMG! I'm with Chesapeake Bay Woman - this just shows that life is truly too short and you never know when your time is up.
Happy Birthday, Kelly! Nice picture of you and yours!
Who is going to 'hawk' all this stuff now? I just really learned his name.
Life is too short, and we need to be ready to go when the Lord calls us home.
That's a shame. I wonder if Vince of Sham Wow fame will pick up the Kaboom gig.

What happened to Billy Mays???
Happy birthday to Kelly...she is so cute, as well as her little men. A party? In august??? YIPPEE!!!
Happy Birthday to your daughter!!
Vince from Sham Wow, (while he brought Grandma J & me together) can not fill Billy May's shoes......if he tries, we will have to quit buying his stuff. I love As Seen on TV in the Walgreen aisle. (Mighty Putty aside)
Happy Birthday, Kelly! You have the best Mom EVER!!!

Happy Birthday, Baby Girl! I know you are looking forward to your visit.
My first thought when I heard about the passing of Billy Mays? I wonder if Grandma J has heard!
Lovely daughter; Happy birthday!and such handsome boys! :D
I'll miss Billy and his commercials! so sad- so strange about the airplane accident the night before and then he passes away. strange if that bump on the head is the cause. hmmm, buckle up!
Happy Birthday to her!
When Sista #2 called me and told me about Billy, do you know the first thing I said? OMG,,, Grandma J will be sooooo upset.
True story.

I also thought of you when I heard about Billy Mays. Too bad he didn't know you were his #1 fan.
Happy Birthday Baby Girl!

Happy Birthday, Baby Girl! Those are two good looking guys there! Good luck keeping up with them this summer, Grandma J! ;-)
They are so cute! LOVE those adorable grandchildren and your daughter. She is just as pretty as can be! I can't wait till they visit. They look like fantastically fun kids. Have they updated their blog in a while?
Happy belated birthday, Baby Girl!
