It’s no wonder there’s a blessing in the orthodox morning service thanking God for not making me a woman. Couldn’t think of anything worse when older in life than linking self worth to appearance.

OMG, I so agree! As I just wrote herein last night, I fail to see why these topics are important to us WowOWow’ers herein. For some reason, Americans are hell bent for election on starts, and anyone who’s had their 15 minutes of fame, recently. Life’s wealth lies not on the surface, because there is so much within that it is difficult to even express it openly save for others right now. We are not needed to Hollywood, or “Dollywood” going; this is precisely why we fail to gather the greatest leaders into our sphere - those most beneficial to us as a people don’t fit the appearance qualifications. As a people, now fraught with a pandemic depression, mental illness, and dependence on prescription drugs, we have far to go “before we sleep”.

Maybe the better word is “lurking”

EKA, perhaps you are right. But, he does love beautiful women…or so he says.

Carol J, I should have written, “Mark, from what you write, etc.” Thanks for pointing that out; I usually write the name.

Answer to question: Yes Above the head of Dr. Klein it says, “click here to read the Best Breast List…” always curious about boobs, I clicked and nothing happened, clicked again, still nothing. Alas, now I will never know who’s got bigger, better, firmer, perkier titties–––sigh–––––now I’m off to milk the cows whose idea of dazzling décolletage is their deep trough which contains their yummies. That’s the thing about cows––their teats are the gift that keeps on giving; could we say the same? One wonders.

I just turned 50 myself and my angst had less to do with my looks and more to do with my path: http://thedamedomain.blogspot.com/2008/07/so-this-is-what-50-looks-like…. Jane Becker

Wow! Jane! Thanks so much for posting the link. Maybe it has something to do with my life-long love affair with music, but I love that idea…the aboriginal myth…that’s perfect! Thank you for writing it. Thank you for posting it.
