What were you told a 'real lady' had to do?

I was never told anything. I just had to wing it. Now I teach my grandchildren many things about life. Yesterday I got to read all eight of them ages, 4-11, Dr. Wayne Dyer’s children’s book, “It’s Not What You Got,” lessons for kids on Money and Abundance. I also read them his other book this weekend on, How to Soar through Life. Even though I was never told how to be a lady I taught my daughter, and son how to treat people, and I still do. Yesterday I told my thirty six year old son, Happy Wife…Happy Life!

HerTube: Dancing Dog

Wowowow! The bowowow got it going on! :))

What television show do you miss the most?

I miss Men In Trees., and Ms. Guided.

HerTube: Computer Trouble

Funny piece! I know it well. The attitude. The anger! You hate! Your hitting keys, you have no right hitting. The computer gets confused, it freezes. I used to do something similar to The Computer Whisperer when I was waiting for my old commadore 64 to boot-up. I would float my hands above it forcing energy from my hands, and I swear it booted up faster. One time I got a new computer, and when it was booting up I thought it was like my old commadore where you had to type in a command. So while it was starting up, I did it! I sure did it. I typed in a command, and oh, my, my, it took me days to get it back into shape. I had to call the tech lady to come fix it. She said I re-programmed the computer. LOL (I did write an essay on the entire experience and it was published in the SI Advance.)

What are your plans for Memorial Day weekend?

We will be going to my son’s house in Jersey. I will make Ambrosia! Do you want the recipe? Prepare the night before for best results. 1 can mandarin oranges (drain) I like to use grapes Any fresh fruit you like is fine providing that it doesn’t produce too much juice. 16 ounces sour cream 1 1/2 cup shredded coconut 2 cups miniature marshmallows 1 cup whipped cream. Clean and drain the fruit. In large bowl combine fruits and mix by hand Add the sour cream and fold in by hand Whip the whipped cream and fold in by hand You can add any fruit you like, I like to add cherries. Place in the refrigerator for next day festivities . It’s easy and ready to go when you are.

To Lose a Child

HEAVENS GATE by Jeanette Foresta I heard your cries, and people gasp, Your life was pulled from my very grasp. Through the mud I ran, was late, did you made it to heavens gate? Don’t know how long it would take. I am forever in this heartbreaking ache. The heavens fill, new souls released. We die, reborn, our lives unleashed, sent back into this world of grief. I don’t want to come back to this world too soon. Just not ready to leave the womb… To be born again into this whirl? To go through storms, and ocean floors? To come back to life once more? To learn to open up that door? To learn to love…to love once more? *********** I am so sorry, and saddened that their government is allowing their people to suffer so much? I feel funny about getting creative on such a tragedy. I wrote this poem a few years ago, and re-wrote it just now to share.

Would you feel safe with a woman as commander in chief? Why or why not?

If you remember the article in the January 21, 2007 New York Times, By John M. Broder sub-title, “Shushing the Baby Boomers. THE time has come, Senator Barack Obama says, for the baby boomers to get over themselves.” Humm, I don’t think any woman would take that s—t.” Hillary Is Going to Win. That is my prediction. Simple facts are not going to be swept under the rug. If she wins, it will be her, her daughter will have a big influence, i’m sure, and Bill running the country. Plus she has all the connections. We need all the help we can get, and a woman would be a good change. (As long as she is not getting too many hot-flashes.) heh :) just kidding.

Whoopi the Decoder Finds Out Why We Get 'Taxed up the Behind'

Thanks Whoopi for this thought provoking interview! I am not happy with this, but the war has a lot to do with it, if not everything to do with it. The people, and children of America don’t see anything on the war? When I was a kid I knew all to well about the war, and threats of war. We have too much superficial programming on TV. We very seldom even tune in when war news is on. We don’t want to see it, “it has nothing to do with my world,” we say. We live in our own world as a protection of our psyche, we must survive best we can, we are just using coping skills, mind magic, positive thinking. There are no marches against the war these days. It is like there is no war going on at all. Soldiers are in the war, and people are in the Mall? This is changing though. People are not buying like they were before. I am a casualty myself by losing my State job. Now I have no healthcare, and am having a hard time getting another job even in my field, which should be easy. Maybe Obama is the one for change, it seems baby boomers have voted in the oldest congress ever. If McCain is to make it, he needs to go on the war path of the baby boomer Elite. We need a Big change But fast!

Is it impolite to Google someone?

Just google me! ;) I don’t think it’s rude. I think it could save your life especially if you are dating. On another note. I remember years ago when I was writing for epininions dot com, that yahoo was recording all of what was said in the reviews and the comments. I was so irate that I wrote a scathing review on the connections of epinions to yahoo, warning others of their practice. Then all of a sudden my name and comments started to disappear. I became invisible! They were teaching me a lesson in power. They had it, and I didn’t. I was also very verbal about government secret practices, cover-ups, telling things I read in controversial books like “Behold a Pale Horse”, which was written by William Milton Cooper who was shot and killed running back to his house in AZ after they came after him in a set-up to arrest him. He also sadly killed a police officer in the gun-fight. THEY (FBI)tried to kill him for years, and tried to shut him up on his internet radio show when he was spouting about how the borders were so loose that they were smuggling suitcase nukes, and bombs over the border, and this was before 9-11. I could have sworn my phone became tapped for a while, this was back in the early days of the internet when I used to write on message boards. That is when I started to back off of saying whatever I wanted. Now I am very careful of what I say knowing that everybody can see it, and it will never go away. So I started to get used to it, and actually utilize it to my advantage. Now I tell people just google me, and you will see my art, poetry, articles, and stories. And now my wowowow comments will be searchable too.:)

At a Table in So-Called Liberal NYC, Woman Announces: I’ll Never Vote for a Black Man for President

What difference is the color of his skin? All of our blood is red! It’s a sad day when people have not grown towards acceptance of the differences in the world. With so many interracial people, including Obama, you would think we would be more excepting of race differences. You never know who has “black DNA”. Heck, my ancestor’s are from Strumboli Italy which is not far from Africa. I have pictures of a great, great, great grandfather who looks American Indian, and, he could have black DNA for all i know. This racial profiling is just so neanderthal. I think if you are a person who hates, and have a personality in which you are hating others all the time, then you are just a hateful person period.

Naples: Still Dirty After All These Years?

wowowow! Maybe someone should do an in-depth report on it so us New Yorkers can be grateful we have rats to roam the streets in the wee hours of the night cleaning it up.

Literacy Partners 24th Anniversary Celebration of Readings at the New York State Theater

I just bought my grandchildren Dr. Wayne Dyer’s children books on Life, and Money. Perhaps if they read them they will learn to avoid some of the struggles of life. We also need to promote summer reading for young children so they don’t backslide over vacation. I particularly like to promote self help books that teach life lessons, and non-fiction.

What's the last thing that made you laugh out loud?

The show, The Office! One lol was when, he was going around saying, it smells like updog in here. Finally someone says, what’s up dog? lol so I’ve been going around saying it smells like updock in here.

What is your best recipe?

I can’t wait to receive Tony Danza’s new book so I can try the meatballs rolled in flour that the the women on the View raved about while stuffing their faces with his wonderful looking dishes mmm yummo!

How many times have you been divorced?

I am divorced after 35 years however, we still live together and say we are married. Why did I divorce him to begin with? I wanted to date and be able to say I was divorced. Plus I was seeing someone for six years and I wanted to be authentic. I have since broke up with the boyfriend, lost my job, and am back to square one looking for work. I now see very clear who really loves and cares for me, my husband who has put up with my many character defects, and I with his.
