Mr. wOw - hmmm I think I know who you are.  Without thinking about it it  came to me in one of those flashes <no, NOT a hot flash> when I was deciding which task to avoid next.  I know you’re undercover though so I won’t say … but you know I want to!!! 

I won’t though.  Have a great weekend doll.

Juliette Lewis - she radiates a powerful energy of uncommon intelligence.  She seems to give 110% every time out of the gate onscreen.  I’d definitely like to see much more film work from her.  It is gratifying to see that her music gives her so much joy.  As for Drew Barrymore - she rocks.  I can’t wait to see "Whip It".

Dear TTBD,

If you keep it you will never be able to enjoy that ring so do the decent thing and give the ring back.  It is the most progressive choice for you and will make you happier overall.

Wishing you peace and light - E

Dear CLWL,

What Margo said.  

Just a thought - is there any possibility that your current boyfriend found the missing notebook?  If you continue the relationship and it turns out that he hid or took the notebook you should tell him he was wrong to do it even under the circumstances.

Wishing you good fortune luck in love and career - E

I too love Maria Shriver and wish that she’d return full-time to public life.  She’d get my vote for just about any office.  As for the hair I’m sure it is all hers - there are a few Kennedy’s dealing with follicular challenges as they age but Maria inherited the same hair gene as Uncle Ted.  I doubt that she has to go to great pains with it - other than a looong drying time.  She has a big round (or is it square) face with strong features and she’d look bizarre with short hair.  Short thick hair can be a giant PITA to manage.  Love her hair just the way it is.

Dear C and C,

You said "How can I get him to talk to me like an adult?"  I’m confused - is this about you feeling slighted or you being concerned for your father?  Take a cue from your father and MYOB.  He obviously does not need to "get everything out on the table" with you.  He is not your mother so why should he be expected to act as she does?  You are wrong to compare and contrast their styles of handling this situation.  Another thing to consider is that your father just does not wish to put you in the middle - is there any possibility that your mother wants you to talk with your father so that you can can be used as her unwitting spy?

Send him a sunny greeting card - the sort that says "Just a Note to say Hello" and add a personal note written by you that simply says I love you Dad.  That will mean more to him than you can imagine.

Dear Wet Hen,

At 50 your husband is an adult and should be allowed to conduct himself in any manner he likes as long as he is not harming anyone (other than his own reputation) in the process.  You were not put on earth to control him or anyone else who is not your minor child.  If you disagree with his behavior tell him so.  If he chooses to continue your choice is to either stay and learn to live with it or to leave.  Why didn’t you just ask your husband to please stay home and help you through your illness instead of testing his love and judgement?  By not asking you gave him the impression that you didn’t mind if he went.  If you expect people to share your mindset and reason out situations the way you know to be the "right"way you will always be disappointed.  If my husband was so drunk that he had to be carried in by friends I’d roll him onto a drop cloth on the floor near a bathroom and leave the rest up to him.  I don’t wipe up after an adult boozer.

Ahhh Sophia Loren - so beautiful in so many ways.

I was just telling Mr. wOw yesterday how Madonna’s guy Jesus Luz looks as if he were a male clone of Sophia Loren and that I hope he’llbe a star in his own right.  Such beauty is surely meant to be appreciated by all.

Dear Amy,

I am sorry to hear that you are dealing with such problems.  Hopefully there will be a complete turnaround for you.

I wish you well.

Mr. wOw - You make me laugh so often. 

I’ve wondered just how deep Mr. Luz’ waters run.  It will be interesting to see how his story unfolds.  I can only hope that with or without Madonna his star climbs ever higher. 

Mr wOw - he is one beautiful man. It is as if Sophia Loren was cloned but came back a boy.

er … what?

Amy Stewart Hale - 

My post above was a response to Mr. wOw’s comment to me.

My post above was not to you.  I have no idea what you are trying to say or how it relates to this thread.  Please do not try to engage me in the clawing back and forth catfight that this thread became for some of you.  I have zero interest in it.

Ha!  I looked it up to make sure - its gist - and I got it - but you are still watching every night.  So the question becomes are you employing this self-flagellation to achieve a mystical level of consciousness, entry into Madge & Jesus’ new throwback monastic order, or to pay the bills - certainly it can’t be for f-u-n.  Is it?

Write more often. You’re needed here.  

Dear Mr. wOw - Keith Olbermann?  20 demerits and go sit on the time-out step and don’t get up until you are ready to explain why you’d do something so … so - beneath you! 

He’s a knucklehead limbaugh copycat pandering to the lowest common denominator of sensibilities.  C’mon.  Really?!  Why watch someone who resorts to the shallow mouldy level of the desperate minstrel show?

Loved Maddow in the beginning, had to get away for a while and now I’m back.
