For me it was Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged” when I was 14. I continue to re-read it..now that was a book that showed what a strong woman could do!!!!

If Gore was as green as he professes to be, then he needs to start going biodiesel like Willie Nelson and perhaps give up the HUGE mansion he enjoys in Tennessee..now that the kids are gone!!!! Candidate with a proven record, think not!!!

I’m happy to look like myself..instead of the “cloned” look that everyone gets from too much botox or cosmetic surgery..Priscilla Presley should be a good reminder of what happens with doctors that appear to be good at what they do. If we women don’t stop the madness no, then it’s not wonder that our children are wanting these same procedures starting at 18. something to thing about!!!

Yes, thanks to my father who put me on speed shots when I was 16 for over a year! Thankfully I didn’t get addicted, unlike the “thin” gals who were at the doctors office every morning for injections. I no longer do diets..it’s a life change for me, but I don’t deprive myself. The Suzanne Somers book are excellent..she knows what she’s talking about :)

“Sometimes when I’m alone, I sing, dance and do a commercial for myself”..but then I realize I need a refill…of friends :) Love you Edith Ann :)

This financial problem did not start with Bush..it’s been long in coming, and with the use of “virtual” accounting…you never know from day to day what it will be. One day you hear there’s more than enough gas supplies being conserved, then you hear there’s not enough. It’s always been manipulation, but even the manipulators at some point have to pay the piper..just ask the Societe Bank of France how the young trader was able to lose all that money without them having a clue. Ask yourself why Wal-Mart continues to profit even at this time when other companies are losing——Wal-Mart makes money on the backs of it’s employees and vendors…what they want, is what they get..because they are that big. That’s scary!!!! But in this time of woe, buy silver and gold!!!

James Spader - who should be cloned, he has the ability to make even us ugly women feel he would date them :)

I believe that would be men—-since they are the ones in charge of heath insurance. Perhaps one day they will come out with a “real” male birth control, in which case that will be covered :)

Happy Birthday Viagra..and thank you Pfizer for making ED more popular that women’s hygiene…VIVA VIAGRA!!!! Now that’s one FINE commercial!!!!

It doesn’t take a Princeton trained scientist to know that there is a BIG difference in the world today…some of us have been on the planet for a while now, and can certainly tell the changes….YES!!!!!

Fascinating, I live in Arkansas..just down the road, or really up the road from Fayetteville..have been here since 1992 and have watched it become a “wee” bit more tolerant, and I’m not aware of this incident…hmm..I’ll see if I can find where this happened..and report back..suffice it to say, not saying it didn’t happen, but everyone these days like to get their 15 minutes of fame!!!!

Here’s the fascinating part…I work in transportation, and though fuel has increased and continues to, and though retailers will tell you they have to pass on the increase to the customers…oddly enough, the retailers keep us at prices from last year. Interesting..but then this way Wal-Mart can pretend to be a hero by cutting prices and YET still make a profit!!!!

I think if every woman over the age of 50 decided to march on Washington D.C., do you think the politicians would listen?? Even if they didn’t I imagine they would be scared!!!

What an awesome site, glad to find a place where I won’t be judged by my age LOL My big thing has to do with nuclear power plants. I’m sure you’re aware of the accident at Chernobyl back in 1986…there is a woman by the name of Adi Roche who started a foundation that helps to take care of the children affected by this “accident” as well as documentary called Chernobyl Heart..which was done by HBO. I saw this documentary a few years back and it so “hit” me that I continue to try and help raise money…I’ve got a band, but you know how hard that is, and when you’re in your 50’s…OH MY LOL But we’ve given this charity, Chernobyl Children’s Project International, a song and using the net, which has levelled the playing field in the world of music :) we have a way of selling the song. The download is 99 cents and we’re giving 80% of the download. I realize you ladies don’t know us from “adam”..but we could use your help, if nothing more than spread the word on this charity…check out their site: http://chernobyl.typepad.com and check out our site: http://www.myspace.com/cedarnsage I am a bit distressed at the fact that though I’ve tried to get the so-called “anti-nuclear” activist involved with this charity to no avail. I mean if you’re going to “bitch” about nuclear power, then why not use this devasting accident that continues to affect the population that lives there??? In order to change the world, we need to respond with the examples or no-one believes that these things happen…they just become urban myths. Thank you for the opportunity to express this.

I certainly won’t put my money into Warner Brothers…could it be that finally all those over-inflated salaries for the corporate executives..ie Bears Sterns has finally helped to cause the crumble of the financial markets?? I think so :) So I put my money in “silver”…the kind you hold, fondle and touch……it appears that there is now a shortage of silver, so if you can find some old franklin half dollars, the kind I used to get as an allowance..buy, buy, buy!!!!
