In Honor of my Nephew, a Gentleman and a Scholar
Thanks, Nan!! I am sure Don would be thrilled have you administer the necessary spanking..... ;)— May 17, 2010 8:53 a.m.
In Honor of my Nephew, a Gentleman and a Scholar
I can't believe YOU of all people cannot find that clip, anti!! I loved that movie. Trust me, it was a hard sell to get my husband to see the benefits of me switching gears for a couple of years. These are supposed to be our prime income earning years. But he is no dummy, and I guess he wants to be married to a sane person rather than a burned out shell. Remember, I had to suffer through a few "Steves" to find this one. We need to find you a good man. They are out there. Somewhere. I'd hate to think I got the last one.— May 17, 2010 8:43 a.m.
In Honor of my Nephew, a Gentleman and a Scholar
Yes, I agree, CF. Dan had a good time as well, and when we asked him if he was anxious to get busy in "the real world", he laughed and said "no, not really!" He worked every summer and did several interships. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ANTI!!! Thanks so much for that clip. I love that video and watched a few more with "Uncle Joe". He was a wise sage indeed. Coincidently, Daniel was the who inspired me to go back to school and pursue writing more. He told me if I could do it, I had to. And then he told my husband, his uncle, "let her go to school!! You can take care of her for awhile!!" Bless his little heart. Thank you both for the congrats!!— May 16, 2010 10:02 a.m.
In Honor of my Nephew, a Gentleman and a Scholar
I had intended on writing this up this morning, and imagine my chagrin when I noticed in the comments screen this somewhat bitter and over-generalized statement by Don Bauder: “Unfortunately, there are a lot of slackers at even the best universities. Some of them are very intelligent and don't have to study hard. Others are good test-takers and memorizers.” I did not want to sully my tribute to my nephew, who worked so hard and accomplished so much, so I decided to relegate this to the comments section. I have met several of Dan’s friends, and none of these young people could be described as “slackers”. They do not have that option. I also fail to see why being intelligent and not having to study as hard as someone less intelligent is indicative of being a slacker, but I guess that’s just me. I always thought intelligence was a gift and not a privilege. Slackers? Hardly, Don. Sorry to disappoint you.— May 15, 2010 12:49 p.m.
Makeup Essentials
Avon Anew products work magic. They can be a little pricey (but not even close to the cost of department store cosmetics), and you can order them on-line and find two for one deals, etc. I also love the Wet-n-Wild lip liners. Why spend twenty dollars at Nordstrom for a lip liner that is gone in a month? WnW lip-liners last a year!! Also, Great Lash mascara in the pink tube. Since high school. Neutrogena Healthy Skin cleanser and Clear Pore keep me zit free at a fraction of the cost of other cleansers and toners that did not work.— May 15, 2010 10:15 a.m.

Heidi Klum's Anti-Aging Secrets
Take a picture of your suit and post it, anti!! I am dying to see this lycratastic superhero suit. I had a one-piece powder blue ski suit that zipped up the front and was belted at the waist. It was straight out of the seventies, given to me by the mother of the legendary Steve. I wore that thing in the nineties and felt like Farrah Fawcett. One time skiing down a mountain some young guy saw me and said "sexxxxxy". It was one of the proudest moments of my life. Something about those jumpsuits.... CF, EHFs suck and their only joy in life is to cut down other women. She was too dumb to get your sense of humor, because you have to have one to get one. I love when I see moms on the beach with their kids. It's a beautiful sight no matter what their size.— May 13, 2010 8:29 a.m.
The Year They All Abandoned Me
Yes, it would probably read better as a comedy, but at the time it felt like a tragedy. Looking back, I have endured far greater losses after that year, but at that age it felt like the end of the world.— May 13, 2010 8:20 a.m.
