    Flo, the progressive insurance spokeswoman who I've been watching star
    in their TV commercials for years seems to have suddenly moved into
    middle age.

    Is it just me, or has her body swelled and her face grown older faster
    than I ever thought possible.

    Maybe she's carrying a fetus in there now?

    My inquiring mind wants to know.

    She's having a heavy Flo year. Probably shouldn't mention it.

    I've never seen those commercials - wrong country, I assume

    But people in our country watch a LOT of US cable. I've been seeing
    her for five years or more on MSNBC.

    I didn't know there were ads with her in it, nor that her character's
    name was Flo. One I did a Google Images search on her name I recognized
    her as the woman on the Progressive web site.

    The radio ads currently have her doing Floetry at a Progressive Jam.
