Liz, You wear a two piece? :O I guess, I don’t know if I could do it … I wish I could do it … Europeans generally don’t have these hang ups over sex and like us Americans do. I never could figure that out. Why do you think that is?

Please Mamacita, tell more about BlogHer, please.

Diana, This is “spot on” advice. I can see you are more than a “goddess of the garden” …. and isn’t that funny that you are master gardener on account this advice will help us all blossom naturally.

(sound of snickering in the back ground) To: DC :)

BRAVA Katie! This piece is well written and easy to read and understand! I demand more from Gadget Girl on WoW!

About Cougars …. I hate to say it but I will anyways, “cougars” are sad … everyone can see one at 100 yards … they look like horny over painted over sexed old ladies that have been bathed in Channel and then dipped in unhealthy amount of self doubt oil mixed with bling dust …. the image of an aging humping toy poodle comes to mind. I posted this on another thread but I think it fits here best.

Yes, I agree heart health is way more important than being a Cougar … I hate to say it but I will anyways, “cougars” are sad … everyone can see one at 100 yards … they look like horny over painted over sexed old ladies that have been bathed in Channel and then dipped in unhealthy amount of self doubt oil mixed with bling dust …. the image of an aging humping toy poodle comes to mind. Now, Diana, back to the heart health and green garden …. these are wroth while topics.

Thanx Joni …. this is really kewl! WoW is growing from a love child to a precocious little lady … I will be glued to my keyboard and screen as I watch her blossom into a full grown Grand Dame! That word keeps poppin’ into head lately on account that I have realized that all of the women here on WoW are just that, Grand Dames and Good Ol’e Broads.

Dear Ms. Thompson, I waited to read this story last because I wanted to save it …. do you know what I mean! I have loved your work for some time now. Nanny McPhee is an excellent film and we (M and me) just loved it. We look forward to the next installment of the Nanny McPhee films. I have never heard of Brideshead until now on account I am lower-middle class upstart … hee hee, but you can bet your dollar that I will go see it. The comment about the wasps nest was very clever …. ;) Thank you for giving us this treat here on WoW. I hope you will come back and see again real soon. Since, I am a bit of a ninny, I think it ok for me to say “WE LOVE YOU” and I think you are a Grand Dame and a Good Ole’ Broad.

Yeah, I am 43 and I knew at the age of 12 that I wanted to do radio! I can’t write very well but I was blessed with this dark husky voice that went over big on air. Also, when I started radio I was very heavy and heard someone say “oh, too bad she is so fat that is why radio is showbiz for ugly people”. I was crushed. I did lose 150 lbs and no one ever said anything like that about me again. And yes, it helped when I went out west to do radio … I had legs up to my ears and nice shape that most certainly helped me get jobs. That is a shame ain’t it? To be judged on looks … there I was under qualified and first hired. About the GI … I was talkin’ about the top of the gi and thigh highs and high heels! I bet you would look great in that too! LOL! What do you do know? You must have job? Why are you not in radio?

What about Bacall or Streisand or MacLaine or Liza? Oh, well, I guess we can’t name them all but I sure did grow up with idea of the “Grand Dame”. I wanna’ be a Grand Dame even if it is on a way way way smaller scale. :) I happen to think that you, Liz, are also a Grand Dame!

Gene Gene The Dancing Machine was my favorite.

We love you Edith Ann! I like Disco! And the Dairy Queen! :)

Doll, Oh, my. How terrible this must be for your family and for your sister. Our prayers are with you and I am sorry for this terrible struggle you are suffering. Love, Blue

Hi, Diana! I got your message and cut and pasted it to my Diana file. Yeah, I have different files, I have Mugsy file and the Lily file and Phyl file and Deni, Beth Willis and a couple of others …. when I find a poem or when I find that someone has said something profound I cut and paste into the appropriate file to ponder later. This site moves fast … and I am a little slow on the uptake … that is the reason for the files guys … nothing else. The files help me to understand or enjoy the comments later on!
