Is Gwyneth Paltrow's 'Frenemy' Winona Ryder?

Don’t know about that - MY daddy washed my MOUTH out more than once with soap when I was little - and just the threat of it usually made me watch what I said! (Course that was then - this is now!! lol)

Liz Smith Compares Today With World War II

Amen to all of that, to the above posts and to Liz - somehow it has GOT to get through to Congress (forget about Fox!) that they too were elected by US - as in we, the people - and we need to pull together behind our President if we have any hope of surviving this collective mess!!

Liz Smith's Survival Guide

 AMEN to all of that Liz! Except for the part about forgetting one’s dreams - 8 yrs ago I got certified to be a personal trainer. (Working out 2 hrs a day 6 days a week was a huge inspiration for wanting to help others get healthy!) Moved to AZ - and THEN 9/11 happened and no one was hiring trainers.  Life took a different turn - and voila - in Nov. last year injured my knee, had to have surgery and of course PT and got re-involved in the business of exercise. Now (with 70th birthday approaching in a week) I’m going to get re-certified and get back to my dream of helping people - especially the "elderly" - discover the joys of exercise to live long and healthy lives. I’m truly excited and looking forward to the "usta wuz" of many years ago - even the grueling study and testing required!

The beautiful First Lady and her beautiful mother are truly inspirations to women everywhere - of every color! Let JOY reign in the White House!

Some say that people crave simple pleasures in trying economic times. Which of these do you turn to when the going gets tough?

Christine - I hope you truly know how very amazing you are!! Your writing should be published, bought and devoured because it is insightful, poignant and most of all incredibly truthful. Please know that you were a blessing to me today - and that alone gives hope for the future - yours and mine! God bless!!

Cloris Leachman on Staying Young, Her New Book and 'Square' Ronald Reagan (Video)

Reaching towards a "certain age" myself, Cloris and her glorious attitude about life and all things related to it is a marvelous inspiration. You go girl!

Liz Smith: Hot, Younger Sex Partners and the Eternal Double Standard

Cyndi - Me TOO! (A BTB that is) and I’m loved and appreciated for my wisdom, my lifelong sense of humor, my innate sense of fairplay (honed from those many years) and appreciation for all things spontaneous and fun! Age has NEVER come between us - and my criteria was that he knew who Nat King Cole was. (He sang Unforgettable to me during our first dance!) Long live the happy BTB’s!

'I Have iPod Envy,' by Allegra Huston

Thanks guys - I’m feeling smarter already - techno-wise to boot!

'I Have iPod Envy,' by Allegra Huston

Okay - so this is sooooo totally embarrassing - (BUT I can set the time AND record on two different VCR’s - at the same time no less.) however I am sadly lacking in the iPod department and I deeply feel the lack!! Especially at the gym - where my archaic Walkman CD player has to suffice.  Have a "special" birthday coming up next month and dropped many several appropriate hints so hopefully I will soon be in the NOW century! All your posts made me drool!!

The Memory Keepers, by Michele Neff Hernandez

I will NEVER complain/worry again about the "lifetime" supply of shoes that cover the floor and the floor of his closet - just rejoice that he is still around to debate which ones to wear! The post sent tears down a freshly made-up cheek (on the way out the door - had to check for wow one more time) and a beautiful reminder to treasure the now!

Liz Smith, Explorer of America

We had our "big" trip last year - a memorable Hawaiian week-long cruise (his first ever cruise!) around the islands (that I think we are still paying for) and since WE too own our own business - it will be nose to the grindstones this year! But my kids are throwing me a blow-out birthday party next month - so I’ll make that a vacation/celebration!

Liz Smith: Rihanna – Dump Your Abuser, Now!

RIGHT ON CoCo - I could not have said it better if I had pondered the idiot for hours!! (And who wants to do that??!!)

Massachusetts Group Sues Federal Government Over 'Defense of Marriage Act'

I would dearly love to introduce you to my son and his beautiful partner - they’ve been together 16 yrs. (a lot longer than a whole heap ‘o hetro’s). They’re gracious, generous, compassionate. loving and generally beautiful humans, inside and out.  I’m thinking that your ACI thinking doesn’t resonate with a lot of human compassion!!
