" I just finished stating that ‘I was glad one of you didn’t kill themselves’."

 "One of you"?  Guess you don’t see hear the condescention in that and think you are just being Christian.  Sounds like something Betty Bowers would say.

Elaine, do you recall the day you made the *choice* to be straight?  White?  Female?    No…I didn’t think so.  The same goes for Mugsy and my brother and all other gay people.  NOT a choice, but y’all can’t seem to grasp that concept.

I have bitten my tongue for as long as I can.  Elaine, you are one nasty piece of work.  The Obama daughters are TEN and SEVEN years of age, and to speak of them this way is sick and twisted.  Speak as you wish to adults, but these are little girls and have no place in this discussion.

 

Good lord, what a horrid nasty place this has become. 

What a beautiful story of love and dedication. You loved each other deeply, and made each others lives much richer. Blessings on you for that. I have two rescue babies, and am now watching my precious Zelda coming ever closer to the end of the journey. Once I read something that may help your heart when it is most saddened. “Don’t cry because it’s over…smile because it happened.”

From the LA Times. So much for the delusional claims of not receiving welfare. She also told NBC that she does not intend to go on welfare, though her publicist confirmed Monday that Suleman already receives food stamps and child disability payments to help feed and care for her six other children. Suleman’s publicist Mike Furtney said she receives $490 a month in food stamps. Furtney said Suleman did not want to disclose the nature of her children’s disabilities or the nature of those payments. “In her view these are just payments made for people with legitimate needs and are not, in her view, welfare,” Furtney said. “She just believes that there are programs for people with needs and she and her children qualify for some of them.”

From the grandmother, who is in a pretty good position to know the truth. Grandma Blasts Octuplet Mom: “Nadya’s Not Capable” Angela Suleman inside her home, which is already cramped with 6 children. “The truth is Nadya’s not capable of raising 14 children.” The mother of the woman who gave birth to octuplets recently is speaking exclusively to RadarOnline.com and says her daughter’s actions are “unconscionable.” All of Nadya Suleman’s children have been conceived with in vitro fertilization. The comments from Nadya’s mother Angela are adding fuel to the growing controversy that has already sparked an investigation by the California Medical Board into the circumstances surrounding implantation of six embryos into a woman with six children. See exclusive photos inside the trashed home. When Nadya, 33, decided to be implanted with multiple embryos, Angela was stunned. She told RadarOnline.com: “I was very upset. She already has six beautiful children, why would she do this? “To have them all is unconscionable to me. She really really has no idea what she’s doing to her children and to me.” Nadya lives with Angela, a retired teacher, and Angela says Nadya contributes no money to the support of her own children. Eight people - soon to be 16 - are cramped into a small three-bedroom house and fed in shifts. RadarOnline.com obtained exclusive photos inside the house, photos that are bound to raise more questions about Nadya’s ability to care for so many children and a RadarOnline.com reporter described the interior as “filthy”, with food on the walls. “How she’s going to cope, I don’t know,” Angela told RadarOnline.com about her daughter. “I’m really tired of taking care of the six children and need her to think about how she’ll provide for all these children.” Angela told RadarOnline.com that Nadya turned her boyfriend into a sperm donor for all 14 kids, but refused to marry him. “He was in love with her and wanted to marry her,” said Angela. “But Nadya wanted to have children on her own.” Nadya was so determined to have children, she first became pregnant at 16, Angela told RadarOnline.com. She miscarried, said Angela, and discovered she had blocked fallopian tubes. “How she’s going to cope, I don’t know.”Angela said that she and Nadya’s father, Ed, begged one doctor not to implant any more embryos in Nadya, who already had six children. But Nadya found another doctor to implant six embryos, and two split, resulting in eight more babies. That doctor’s decision to perform the in vitro has left the octuplets grandmother furious. “I’m really angry about that,” she told RadarOnline.com. Angela also voiced her anger over Nadya’s claim she was raised in a dysfunctional family and was lonely as a child. “We raised her in a loving family and her father always spoiled her,” Angela said. “The truth is that Nadya hasn’t worked since she started having her children,” Angela, charged, “while Ed and I battled to pay her bills. “Nadya promised to help me with the bills, but she never has. I lost a house because of it and now I’m struggling to look after her six. We had to put in bunk beds, feed them in shifts and there’s children’s clothing piled all over the house.” Angela told RadarOnline.com that she wasn’t at the octuplets’ birth because she was looking after the other six children. “But I saw the octuplets when they were two days old. They were so tiny and fragile, with bright purple skin, I was afraid to touch them but they’re all doing well. “Nadya has given them all Biblical names. Seven of them are dark-haired, but one, Noah, shows my side of the family. He looked so cute with his purple skin and bright yellow hair.”

Sigh…Iris, I’m a vintage lover, too. I have a beautiful lined red raw silk swing coat that I bought for $7.50. Never fail to get ooohhhh’s and aaaahhhh’s whenever I wear it.

Amen! Self-employment was not my finest career choice, but at least I love what I do.

I’m thisclose to being my natural hair colour, complete with lots of grey, and I want to go get proper new make-up colours. Definitely will go to Bobbi Brown.

I still have my original copy of The Joy of Sex, along with More Joy, or whatever the official title of the sequel was. Makes me smile and long to turn the clock back. ; )

In this situation, all three adults are fair game, but the child is OFF limits! The woman may have “deserved what was coming to you”, but that child certainly did NOT!

This has nothing to do with swooning with gratitude for some male designer. It’s about celebrating the smile, grace and beauty of a woman who “remade herself as a businesswoman, designer and consultant for Jean-Paul Gaultier” and also decided to walk the runway. She is simply stunning, and that smile…wow!

Thanks for the information. PLEASE contact the powers that be at the Fort Worth Zoo and ask for support in this situation. I live in the area, and would be more than happy to give you the name/s and information. Jenny must be freed!

She was born in June of 1951, and is a beautiful woman. Love having the two leading ladies we have!

I am *almost* there in letting my hair go natural. One more cut, and it’s all the real me. Because of my new white colour, I need to go have my make-up critiqued and have someone help me select a new look. As for “down there”, I’ll be hot pink or purple. Hell, why not.

Self-employment is a beautiful thing at times like this. I’ve given myself the day off, and intend to spend it in front of the tv with mimosa in hand. Tuesday evening, I’ll be attending a black tie celebration in my city, complete with dinner, dancing, champagne toasts and lot of fun!
