Mary - I would LOVE to “talk to you” personally - (e-mail of course). We started a business almost 3 yrs ago without help, advice or guidance. Boy do we need it now! Thanks.

Read EVERY reponse and all I can say is DITTO to Joan, Ellie, Marlo, Ginger & especially Jane!Nothing I can add - except a.c. costs here in AZ compared to everyone else’s heating bills! I vigorously support Marlo’s idea of 2009 - hopefully a massive year of political change before there is no one left who can afford to buy gas, milk, bread and especially blueberries!

OKAY - so it’s 3 a.m. (Easter Sunday no less) and I can’t sleep and am reading all the “fun” on my favorite website - and am now totally spooked to go to bed - roaches, bedbugs and nighmares OH MY!

HUGE Holland Taylor fan - wonderful to read her posting!!

P.S.- we’ve been at it for over 6 years!

At age 63 - and getting out of a depressing marriage (which my kids thought would provide me with old-age security - NOT) I was done with the male species! Moved to a new state and started a new life! And of course since I was DONE with men - I managed to meet the love of my life (online no less) who is 20 yrs younger. He constantly makes me laugh, loves me no matter what size I currently am and promises to take care of me the rest of my life no matter what. Who could ask for anything more??!! Oh yes, I’m still currently very capable of taking care of myself!

My sweetie was told from the very begiinning years ago - “Look ALL you want - touch and die”!So far, so good.

Yes. Barb you do - if you ever get the chance. Mine is 20 yrs younger and a wonderful delight - although he sometimes has a hard time keeping up with me!

Loved the article! And as a 68 - almost 69-yr old woman in love with a darling 20 yrs. younger, (we’ve been together 6+ years) I say hurray for ALL our choices now!!! Happy Happy B-Day Liz - have read you for years and love your writing AND your attitude!
