Know what’s horrible?
I scrolled past this picture in Google news (as a thumbnail), and thought “oh no! Morgan Freeman’s sick!” #embarrassing.
Admittedly, it was a thumbnail, and if you look at that article picture well OBVIOUSLY it’s Nelson Mandela, but yeah.

haha, i can totally see why you would have thought that.

A very thin Nelson too. I can see the compaRISON.

They do look very similar to each other, though I think side by side you’d be able to tell them apart.
Warning Comment
So, it’s not horrible that Nelson Mandela is sick?
Warning Comment
LOL, you can’t say -anything- right can you, Bruce? A perfectly innocent post and there is still nitpicking!
Warning Comment
LOL! Nelson Mandela probably wouldn’t mind being mistaken for Morgan Freeman. Afterall, Freeman did play Nelson Mandela in a movie.
Warning Comment
I can see the comparison too. And Greywolf, he was just in there for a diagnotic procedure for a long standing problem. Great to see you here Bruce. Have a great day.
Warning Comment
I am thankful that N. Mandela is doing okay, and also that Morgan Freeman is NOT ill. I absolutely LOVE “The Bucket List.” Wowza!!! I hope you are doing well, and i’s nice to see a li’l entry from you!!! Love & BigHugz to your family. And may you be all be blessed by the Lord above!!!!!!! :*) BigHUgz, L

Hahahhaaa *squish* ohhhh it’s time for our annual eye exam! Not being mean! I need mine too! hehe!
Warning Comment
*laughs* yes, i can see why you would mistake them.

Welcome back to our little community here on Open Diary. We’re pretty close you know. Have a great day!
Warning Comment
Yeah, I could see that. I love hearing from you.
Warning Comment
I can see it! I miss posts like this from you.

I had the exact same thought as Cat Mommy. Some old hens will just not let go of their righteous indignation! It’s good to see you participating.

LOL easily done x

I really don’t think the DM meant anything mean!
Warning Comment
Silly. Did you forget how nice it is to use this little beauty of a website?
Warning Comment
Pretty funny
Warning Comment
Definitely an amazing resemblence. And I don’t think either one of them meant anything mean.
Warning Comment
wow that was random!
Warning Comment
Don’t tell anyone it was my idea but..I think you need a holiday!
Warning Comment
*snort* 🙂
Warning Comment
Know what’s worse? When I first saw the headline about Nelson Mandela I didn’t realize he was still alive, anyway. I don’t know why I was under that impression. I guess because they made a movie about him and they usually do that after people die.
Warning Comment
You have a great sense of humor… That’s what the world needs… More humor. 🙂
Warning Comment
PMSL… I can see the resemblance & why you would think that.
Warning Comment
To be fair, Freeman DID play Mandela in Invictus, and not without reason.
Warning Comment
Nice.
Warning Comment
My eyes don’t see thumbnails well anymore, so ya can’t go by me, either. LOL!
Warning Comment
LOL … Good Grief 🙂
Warning Comment
P.S. I forgot to add … I can see the resemblence …
Warning Comment
Haha! 🙂

Good to see you, DM, posting entries. There is a resemblance. Best wishes, A

Cross posting your Twitter feed here now? Nice to see that you are feigning interest in your own site.
Warning Comment
I love random little entries like this, and so what if it’s a cross post from freaking twitter or where the frick ever, I cross post from twitter and facebook and my blog all the time, doesn’t mean I don’t wanna write here, it just means that I don’t have time to write a full entry at that exact moment, it just means I want to write a bigger entry about it later, some people just have to have SOMETHING to PMS or bitch about!
Warning Comment
how very dinner for schmucks of you 🙂
Warning Comment
Never noticed the resemblance before but it’s definitely there! xxx
Warning Comment
LOL!
Warning Comment
Greywolf Borealis, could he be the first ever 70-year-old troll? He’s making a habit of it.
Warning Comment
easy mistake
Warning Comment
Thank you SO much for Open Diary. It means more to me than you could ever imagine. I never want to live without it. Yes, I am emotionally invested. Open Diary has changed my life in a dramatic way. I owe you a debt of gratitude.
Warning Comment
Lol.
Warning Comment
I would likely have thought the same.
Warning Comment
Well Morgan Freeman IS sick…I think he’s going to marry his granddaughter or something…
Warning Comment
Warning Comment
Wow. That is horrible.
Warning Comment
lol
Warning Comment
That ALWAYS happens to me, so you’re not alone.
Warning Comment
There is definitely a resemblance, especially going by that picture. It’s good to see you update.
Warning Comment
It is, truly, sad that Mandela is ill, but as we get older, generally that is what happens. I guess I am a little sad, maybe a little ‘bitter’ these days about older famous people who pass away.
Warning Comment
Nelson Mandela is 93. He is bound to get sick. I wish the media would leave him be. All hell with break loose in this country when he dies.
Warning Comment
LMAO!!!!
Warning Comment
can see the resemblance. according to some… no matter what you say/write you are wrong. why are some people like that? just don’t understand. take care,
Warning Comment
:thatsracist.gif:
Warning Comment
lol i can see the resemblance! .
Warning Comment
I can see how you’d make the mistake. LOL
Warning Comment
Not many people would admit such an error.
Warning Comment
Easy mistake! DM..throw your hands in the air and surrender. Some people will NEVER be happy.
Warning Comment
thanks, DM, for putting this random thought between the present and the worries of yesterday. 🙂 i just want to remind everyone who is jumping onto the OD Lifeboat to please make sure you know to whom you are sending your email address and possibly your diary. just because someone is a part of the OD community and can string together a few lines of code does not mean that they have the capacity tobe entrusted with your most private thoughts. your OD is your private property — please handle it as such, please don’t march blindly like a heard of sheep. know your host. thank you.
Warning Comment
Totally private note, and probably just as irrelevant, but the hate and animosity aimed at you the past several weeks is the exact reason my hubby and I no longer host what was once one of the top 10 IRC chat rooms, with subsequent website that received 1,000’s of hits a month. No one who has never dared do what you have done will ever comprehend that it takes an enormous amount of time, knowledge and money to put up a site like this. If nothing else, the diaries and notes I have read for you, about you, and aimed at you are a reflection of just how much like modern society OD has become. It’s ironic that the people who claim OD to be a community are the very ones who just don’t seem to get what OD is about 🙂 And it’s a bit funny that the loudest haters are the ones who obviously don’t support what their mouth is saying with the pocketbook. As evidenced by a string of 2 or more notes needed to spew their vile at you. *HUGS* you a lot. I know more than one person understands all involved and what you are going through, but I’ve never steeped up to tell you that I am one of them.
Warning Comment
He played Mandela in that Matt Damon soccer movie, didn’t he?
Warning Comment
hugs and smiles p
Warning Comment
understandable.
Warning Comment
Heyyy, did you guys update and improve the crediting of OD+ subscriptions? I just now paid mine after forgetting all about it and letting it lapse and *poof*, no more ads! Very nice.
Warning Comment
To Mountain Girl. I am maintaining the “Lifeboat,” as a collection of e-mail addresses for anyone who wants to be informed if there is a new site in case OD goes down. I am not asking anyone to send me their diary, nor does anyone have to join the Lifeboat. If anyone wants to know “who” they are trusting with their e-mail address, they will get more transparency on the Lifeboat than this place hasgiven in 13 years.
Warning Comment
I would’ve thought that was Morgan Freeman too.

jan i love you
