I hate to be a wet blanket of sorts, because I also want to look forward rather than backword, but there is the matter of being a War Criminal and perpetrating Crimes against Humanity - you know it’s true. As in past misadventures, crimes that go unprosecuted are bound to be repeated. I’ve had more than enough of GWB and his gang of criminals, but feel strongly that this must be addressed.

I’d whisper “please take care of yourself, try to get enough sleep, listen to your wife and girls - they’ll keep you sane. It was lovely dancing with you, Mr President, thank you”.

Dear Liz - I love what you write and how you write it, and please just keep doing what you’re doing.!

Three pairs seem to be what I need - work, home and purse (for menus, food labels etc.). The other age related bummer can be the magnifying mirror. It can be an appalling experience so use it quickly, put it down, look back at the image in the larger mirror sans glasses. Sigh gently, smile and think “works for me”!!

I agree with you Liz, and especially your last paragraph. Now, if that could also apply to the Coulter person…………………………

Thanks Molly for your very good and understandable article. I know now what I will ask my two adult sons to buy me for Christmas. I have a PC at work, but understandably it has certain firewalls and filters that prevent me from even viewing videos, so this would be perfect for me! I look forward to reading more articles from you on this site (which I love) !!!

A very Happy Birthday Whoopi!! You are warm, wise, and magical - Celebrate!

She is offensive to me, and has no place on a national ticket. She needs to go back to Wasilla and enjoy being the big fish in the little pond.

Original, elegant, and timeless - Happy Birthday Ms. Bacall !!

I can’t wait to see it!

Oh Liz - you are so right about a respite from politics - even for a couple of lovely minutes catching up on Shirley Jones and Elizabeth Taylor. I’m in the midst of “political fatigue” and though it’s just a temporary condition, your article has been a tonic!

I just know that at any age, Sir Sean is one of the sexiest men on this planet, and his turn as the doomed cop in “The Untouchables” was thrilling, honest and gritty and his Academy Award was well deserved. Happy Birthday!

This article was highly informative to me - I’m afraid I was quite ignorant of the fact that Jews and Muslims get along in Israel as well as they do - and that they do is a good thing!!

Joni Mitchell - such a talented writer and musician, and an ethereal voice. She also slept with most of the same rock musicians I would have wanted to sleep with back in the day. She’s still fabulous and I love her work with jazz!

I was struggling with the words, and phrasing, but Joan, you stated it for me perfectly. Your wishes are mine as well. Wouldn’t it be lovely.
