If you could have one piece of artwork by one artist to call your own, what would you choose? Why?

Would I settle for less!?! NEVER! However, when I wake in the morning I see a beautiful  lake. Can’t improve on God’s nature and the gorgeous and simple gifts She gives. I so enjoy your comments, Joan.

Joan, Are you sure I can’t hang it in my prison cell? FOILED AGAIN!!

Why Love Is a Verb, by Jane Green

I so look forward to reading MS. Green’s newest. In a way it reminds me of "Talk Before Sleep" by Elizabeth Berg. My husband and I both lost our spouses to cancer and one story about his wife, Lois, touches my heart. When Mark, my husband, and Lois were on their honeymoon, they met a wonderful couple and remained friends, despite living hours apart. When Lois was dying, this couple came to visit. The Wife took one look at Lois and crawled in bed with her and just held her for hours. Darn, I’m crying just thinking of this. I’ m sure the love expressed in this action was exactly what Lois needed.

Joan, "Golden Wall", Golden Wall, Golden Wall …. Maybe it will stick this time. I fell in love with this in the early 70’s and it makes me cry evertime I see it. Those colors!!! However, I want the real thing. Want to join me in a heist!?! We could start with lunch at the AIC lovely restuarant! I hear that some of the federal prisons are quite cozy1

Joan, I think you gave me the correct name of the Hans Hofman "Golden Door" at the Art Institute. If I had this hanging on the wall in front of bed in the morning, the entire day would be filled with joy!

My Father Fought for a 'Bonus Plan' of $264.17, by the Author of <i>On Moving</i>

Louise, Your father’s story touches my heart and soul. I am so proud of being  an American and your Dad’s life was spent in being EXCELLENT. When the harpies of the right wing descend on this page, I pity them for their self righteous welfare mentality and  I wonder if we can rear another generation of real Americans who see a problem and care enough to get  out there and  work hard, and open their hearts to the goodness which our (LIBERAL) fore -fathers fought so hard to pass onto us. GOD bless America and never let us spend our time whining and criticising. There are so many challenge ahead of us. And that is a gift!

What is your favorite short story of all time?

Thornton Wilder’s "Our Town", not a short story but a play. It teaches me something and touches my heart every time I read it!

Carrie Prejean Loses Her Crown, Donald Trump Has Had Enough

 S. J., Conservative thinking? Doesn’t happen!! Oxymoron statement ! Are  implants "Beautiful"  to you?  False boobs = stardom= conservative spokeswoman= don’t bother honoring contracts you have signed order to get those false boobs=whine cause she got caught being dishonest and lacking integrity. Her opinion about gay marriage is her opinion and she  has a right to that. Signing a contract and not honoring it is a breach of law. BIG DIFFERENCE!!!

Carrie Prejean Loses Her Crown, Donald Trump Has Had Enough

D K, "She has done a great job so far,…"  WOW!!!! I’d really put a lot of credence in what she says  - not! Posing with breasts exposed, lying about it, not honoring her contract, not being a woman of her word. What a role model!!!!

Who is your favorite newspaper columnist, the one you would follow anywhere?

TZ, I really miss Molly! And I wondered if anyone else would mention her. What an incredible spirit she had!

Have you ever purchased a product from a TV infomercial?

Lizzie, when I look in the mirrow every morning, I wonder about "planned obsolesence". Still have my wheels though!!!
