What fantasy concert reunion would you most like to see?

Frank, I challenge that with Bob Dylan’s solo concert at Ravinia outside Chicago in the mid-1960’s. CA

What fantasy concert reunion would you most like to see?

Hands down , ‘The Doors’ Seminole Indian Reservation, FL Concert. CA

Michelle Obama, True or False: Paris Couture? Hair Extensions?

What drivel!!! I haven’t been to WoW in a couple weeks and this is the best we can do? Maybe this should be taken tongue in cheek in light of the dismal state of our economy. It is no longer the elephant in the corner that we have been pretending wasn’t there. Give me a break…we were all so concerned about being taken seriously during the marathon election/selection and now we reduce ourselves to ‘baby-bump’ talk. CA

What is your best beauty tip?

Protect your skin from sun damage, and always carry yourself with good posture. Ditto on getting enough rest, and also a little make-up for daytime never hurts. (I have blonde eyelashes and without mascara my eyes look horribly insignificant). CA

A White House Tour for the Obamas

Newzie snoozie, Did you read my original post about touring the White House at age 11 and how lucky I was to see the sites of DC with my aunt who taugh history? I only hoped that the Obama girls would enjoy their time in the White House while at the same time being a part of history. I thought it was a hurtful thing to bring up something that Michelle Obama said, and had repeatedly explained her motivation for while we were talking about the interior decoration of one of our most famous historical structures. Please don’t scream at me. I don’t believe I have ever even spoken to you before. I hope you had a better day today. CA

A White House Tour for the Obamas

Irish, what a hurtful thing to say about two young girls who are entering a world that no amount of education can prepare you for. If you recall, there was a time in our history when the signs in the windows said, ‘No Irish Need Apply.’ CA

A White House Tour for the Obamas

Kryssi, Yes, Pride is one of the Seven Dealdly Sins along with Lust, Greed, Envy, Sloth, Wrath, and Gluttony. ;-)

A White House Tour for the Obamas

I first toured the White House when I was eleven years old. This was just one of the many sites I visited in the DC area while spending the entire summer with my aunt the history teacher. I will never forget the experience, and the fact that the well known Senator from Illinois took time out to speak with me. Now if I could only remember his name…Dirkson??? Hell I don’t know, but I was impressed with everything I saw. I hope the Obama girls will learn as much as I did about our country while they become ‘living history.’ CA

Legendary Singer Miriam Makeba Dead At 76

How sad. A great loss for the world. ‘Mama Africa’ was so loved. I still have one of her first records that came out on those small 78 rpm albums. She will be greatly missed. CA

What's next for Sarah Palin?

I think she wants a talk show. I think she was showing everyone moose hotdogs the other day, so maybe an Alaska cooking show. I want it to be covered by a tv channel that I don’t get. Just so I don’t have see or hear her again. She liked herself on SNL WAAAAAAY too much. CA

What is the first movie you ever saw in a movie theater? What do you remember about it?

GEEZ! Mine was ‘Bambi’ as well. Mom took me to see it and I loved it. My favorite quote is, ‘Thumper, what did your mother/father tell you?’ Thumper answers, ‘If you can’t say somethin’ nice, don’t say nuthin’ at all.’ My first with my friends movie was ‘Dr Zhivago.’ My first love story. I still cry when I see it or hear the theme song. What was it called? ‘Lara’s Theme?’ I can hear it now…hmmmmmm, ‘somewhere my love…’ CA

What's the one thing you plan to give up to save money? What's the one thing you won't give up?

I will not give up getting a pedicure once a month. Since my hair is long, I already only get it trimmed, etc. about every 6 mos., and won’t give that up. There isn’t much else I could cut back on. I just got the details of my health plan for next year and everything will cost more. My medications are through the roof right now. My SSDI is below the poverty level, and my food stamps are based on my income. I don’t get full allotment because I make too much money. I know that doesn’t make any sense to me either. I could lose them with whatever the SS increase will be in 2009. I am so fortunate to still have my mom to live with. I don’t know what I would do without her. I am glad that she is financially independent. Now all she needs is a male companion who is also financially independent so I don’t have to be her date ALL the time. CA

Goldendoodles: The Candidate for 'First Dog'

I thought the Obama Family was getting a rescue (shelter) dog. I even remember it being said in one of the interviews on tv. Did anyone catch the current ‘First Dog’ biting a reporter at the White House today? They say our pet’s reflect the personalities of their owners…hmmmmmmmmm. CA

Whoopi Goldberg: We Have Finally Become Part of the Fabric of the United States of America

Penny, I, too, remember the ‘60’s. The events are like a tatoo that I carry with me through my life. Believe me when I say that this election of 2008 will leave a life shaping impression on your soul. Now you must carry this new mantel of responsibility forward to future generations of Americans. I’ve been carrying mine for 40+ years, and God willing I will carry my own weight along with you for 40 more years into a better, brighter future for all Americans. CA

Election Night Reader Forum

Mom and I toasted the Obama/Biden victory with a smooth sipping tequila we bought a couple years ago. I ran across the street and shared it with our neighbors (in my jammies). Now comes the really hard work for all of us, and God has blessed America. I am channel surfing to find something non-political to watch and pray that a robo-call doesn’t wake me up again for another 4 years. CA
