Staring at the inside of the fridge for the umpteenth time each night and not finding what I want to eat. Because, I usually have a taste for ‘whatever commercial’ has been playing over and over, and I’m not about to go and find where they sell that ‘whatever food’ at 1am…

Happy Birthday, Whoopi!! Have great one!  Peace and love!

Early mornings when I am just waking up, and when I take my dog for a walk. Both times I lose a lot of ideas; I forget to have pen and paper handy.

one year..then I took a job to have a job.

1) The end of the rainbow lost its treasure

2) Ha! I found it!

3) Damn this economy! I used up my pot of gold!

4) No bailouts for leprechauns.  

Very nice article! I have been an avid gardener for many years, on my blog~gerardinebaugh.wordpress.com/  I write poetry, stories and just day to day musings about nature.

Organic foods still have to be grown in the same soil that has had chemicals poured on it for years. It will take years to filter out the problems.

  Farmers markets are great to buy fresh fruits and vegetables.

Having a small garden is even better, if the average person doesn’t use pesticides and weed killer on their lawns. Most people forget that the over spray can damage your garden.

Thanks for the great article.

Yes! I have encountered bias against women working in a, ‘so called man’s field’

I did confront them. I was fired for telling HR what was going on- Lost a wonderful career.  I have heard from other women, who quit jobs to run from it, I didn’t run.

Walking into work day after day, facing physical and mental harassment because I wouldn’t quit or accept it…

Yes, money can buy happiness, but you have to be open to that happiness.

You can have a million dollars in cash in hand, or be counting out change to get a cup of coffee, either scenario will depend on whether or not you’re ‘in the moment’ and happy.   

True happiness comes from within. Money can pay for the shrink to help you find it.

His babies are in a lot of pain.

 Michael Jackson use to shied them from the cruel intentions of the media. 

 They are missing their father, probably angry at his passing, and scared of the days ahead without him.

Only time will tell how this will shape them. I wish them well, and pray they have enough love surrounding them; helping them find their way through the pain.

What I found out; checking on different sites, is that he has been seeing Maria Belen Chapur , sexual or not, since 2001.  He said, “Maria is his soul mate.”

 How can he now say he wants to stay with his wife if he found his soul mate?

Why would his wife want to stay in a marriage that she isn’t the soul mate, or loved deeply?

 The question I would pose to Jenny Sanford is, do you want to find ‘your’ soul mate? Someone who adores ‘you’? 

You deserve to be loved. Don’t stay because you feel sorry for him, or worry about his future.

He hasn’t been your husband for years. Kick him to the curb and find your soul mate.

A lot of the products on the market aim at a specific group.

Sex sells even in family settings: Sex sells, even if it’s geared towards your daughters, sons and husbands. Again if you don’t agree watch the T-mobile commercials-Dad is taken with another woman, daughter wants the older boy, Dad is told someone’s Grandma likes him; he asks, “What she looks like?”

Key words and phrases sell; You have to have this!-  affordable-everyone-smart-   the main subliminal  message; “everyone will like you if you buy their product.”

Watch a child as they stare at commercials around the holidays. Now, do you think the ads are working?

“Should advertisers be acting differently in light of the latest figures on marketing to women?”

My answer:

 Most women are buying for their family members. Those women will ask, “What do you want?”  The answer she gets  back, will depend on how well that commercial was aimed at them, not her.

“Older fathers are more likely to have children with schizophrenia, research suggests.”

Having a baby at any age is a miracle!  

Just because someone is in their 20’s when they give birth doesn’t mean they will see that child grow up. No one is born with an expiration date on their behind!

Good luck to Elizabeth Adeney, and may she have a healthy, happy baby and enjoy every minute!

I feel for, Mary-Louise Parker, when you are pushed by your boss; to do something that you know in your gut is wrong. Yet you do it to keep your job. That is harassment, mental-sexual- coercion (bullying). Too bad it isn’t seen that way in the movie industry.

 Happy Mother’s day world!
