Flying has changed drastically. Partly technology and computers etc. have separated the human connection. Once flying from Paris to L.A. I sat next to a 400pound art dealer from Paris. He was very nice and interesting. But he overflowed into my seat. On his own after a while he got up and went to the back of the plane to smoke and didn’t return until near landing., that was when you could move around at will. Another time returning from Europe I sat next to a Portuguese woman around 70 who could not speak English. In my faltering Spanish to her Portuguese I was able to get her a drink and order her meal. She invited me to come visit her in Portugal. (I know Portuguese and Spanish are different but we communicated.) These days everyone takes their valium or whatever and turns on their electronic devices. You can take a whole flight without any human interaction. Oh well times change.

These women are all beautiful. Even if you are not gorgeous most women look striking with gray or white hair in their 50’s and up. Besides who wants to keep putting chemicals into your hair and these being adsorbed into your body. We don’t know enough about what adding stuff that smells and burns your scalp will cause you in health problems along the line. Jamie Curtis looks outstandingly beautiful and she is a beautiful person. Take this coming from a woman who could never claim beauty but always felt good about herself. (me).

If you are going to run for office then you better get used to the gossip. It’s not right but it exists. This has been true since Teddy Roosevelt was president. It has survived through all the administrations since. Of course it’s wrong to write about children,brothers,sister,cousins etc. I am sure going back to General Washington there was lots of gossip going on. Don’t become famous or vulnerable and you will be left alone. I guess Mckinley and other childless presidents were lucky in some ways. But then again there were lots of stories about brothers and relatives. Citizens should know a lot about their current “rulers”. If we knew more about the present regime then our country might be in a better state right now. Nah, there was plenty of information out there, nobody could get by the charm and promise of the reformed addict who won election.

I don’t necessarily think that men or women are being honored if their heads end up sculptured in cement in the middle of nowhere. Too many heroes come along in our lifetime. I like Hillary very much but she doesn’t quite deserve the roll of honor yet. I would like to have seen more science, medical and social worker heroines mentioned. Jane Addams, Margaret Sanger, Marie Curie etc. It is good to see a web-site where women can talk about anything and feel safe from criticism. Constructive dialog plus differing opinions are the key to understanding for all of us. Dakota people please don’t take offense. It’s beautiful country and an impressive memorial..

Great site with a lot of potential. Looking forward to reading. One suggestion is to try to make it more of a dialogue . The opinions are all interesting but I look forward to more interaction between the users..Thank you Joni and Friends

Men have the very basic need to spread their seed and populate the world. It’s elemental. Women have the urge to create life and keep it alive to grow and repopulate. So there are two different forces at work for the same purpose, keep the world going. Of course not all men and not all women have the same urges at the same level but they all have the basic desire to feel good as much as possible. The goals are still basic and the feelings of sex are still desirable. These are not choices .Underneath it all the hormones and instinct stays the same. Laura Schlesinger should get a life. Next thing she knows someone will be publishing her naked pictures with a long ago Radio talk show host. Her views are unsophisticated and unrealistic. Silda is not to blame and she should be allowed to forgive or kick his butt whatever her choice may be. This is really about breaking the law on the part of Eliot S. and the arrogance and denial of a narccisist. xoxoxo

Margaret Sanger, Marie Curie,Golda Meier,Eleanor Roosevelt. I would have to include the wives of all the early politicians who suffered and supported their husbands. Examples: Abigail Adams,Martha Washington etc. Most of all Margaret Sanger was the savior of so many women of today who will never know from whence their freedom came. Thanks Margaret..
