Never enough arms - or ands when I’m cooking!

Joan Ganz Cooney: Art Buchwald Assigned Red China to His Aunt Susan

I totally agree, Beth.

Joan Ganz Cooney on the Argument of War

I’m sick of war. Young men dying who can never have families or share what their gifts with families and the community. They will never come again, and we have lost whatever wisdom or love they would have shared.

Joan Ganz Cooney: 'Little Miss Nobody From Stardom'

Little Miss Nobody? You’ve touched so many lived - and not just kids! I watched right along with my kids from the beginning when Sesame Street came on the air in our area! I love it even with all that has changed , and I cannot say that with any other show!!

Oh, and Emma is a grand choice to play you!

What is the bravest thing you have ever done?

The wOw Conversation: The Predicament of Polanski? (Audio)

Until someone is 18, they are considered a child because their sense of right and wrong is often set by peers or someone they admire. Our own society sees that in the way we use to look at child murderers. When we began breaking up children into teens and young adults we tended to see them more as adults and responsible for their own actions. Even the psychological community today has come to understand that the brain is not developed fully to make good decisions and judgments until those later years after 18 years of age.

The wOw Conversation: The Predicament of Polanski? (Audio)

My only comment is she, no matter what she did, was a child in the eyes of the state and was not a consenting adult.

Mysteries & Thrillers

:-) I to am always up for a good mystery!

Mysteries & Thrillers

I like books with the gratuitous sex left out! Sounds like one series I might like. There are some regional writers that do fill the same bill and one such (Actually many such authors!) author has created a neat series around Fernandina Beach, Florida. The first book was Murder in Fernandina. I really enjoyed it!

Mysteries & Thrillers

If you haven’t read the mysteries by Candace Robb, and are a mystery lover - you should! Her Owen Archer series is great!

Mysteries & Thrillers

My love of mysteries focuses on the books from the past mostly these days. Miss Marple, Campion, Cadfael and others from the realm of the wonderful history filled mysteries holds my attention most often now.

10 Women's Magazines We Can't Help But Remember

I still have that cookbook too…somewhere!

<i>Gourmet</i> Magazine to Close

I love Ruth Reichl and Gourmet! I often enjoy escaping into that magazine’s wonderful pages. It was a simply elegant way of enjoying good food and I will certainly miss it.

wOw Readers Bow to Old Dogs – Part IV (Photos)

Old dogs are old friends who are a part of us forever. My old dog Foxy, our Foxy Lady has been with us 10 years. A sharpei/German Shepherd mix, she became my constant companion and friend when my youngest moved out on his own.

Should Roman Polanski go to prison?

Though we have focused on Mr. Polanski, who through the Press has come across as almost a tragic character, we forget the girl. Though she has taken a settlement, she was raped and has seldom been considered in this back and forth over his guilt. Whether he was railroaded or not has over-shadowed the thing he did do, drug and rape a young girl.
