Do you think that it might have something to do with the media being corporate right-wing? I’ve noticed that CBS is turning more and more into FOX, and as an example is the anti-choice ads during the Super Bowl, but there have been signs before and since, such as Bob Schieffer hosting “Face the Nation” whereby he doesn’t even pretend anymore to be non-biased towards the right. I’ve only seen Maher one time and it was years ago while we were in France and it was on the BBC and Maher back then didn’t know the difference between a Senator and Congressman, and that’s when I dismissed him as a political analyst. He’s a comedian, and really, I don’t think that I’ve ever heard of him until he was fired for something or other after 9/11. I don’t know who he is, except to wonder how in the world he ever became relevant when it comes to politics. But then I wonder the same about Limbaugh, O’Reilly, Hannity, Beck, Coulter, et all. They are media creations. At least Jon Stewart was on “The Nanny”! » Posted By javaz On June 8, 2010 @ 2:53 pm Friday Music Thread – Southern Comfort Dum, dum, dum – guitar riff and then dum-dum dum and then Baby baby – close my eyes – Love the Black Crowes!!! Thank you for replying. We don’t do concerts anymore, but we buy DVD concerts and watch them then. We’re older, so what can we say? LOL » Posted By javaz On June 5, 2010 @ 5:32 pm Okay. Have a pity on people who cannot access youtube and tell me, please, pretty please with a cherry on top, what band it is that you are talking about? Our neighbors with fast Internet were gone, but we didn’t feel it was right to log on and view the youtubes. So, what band is coming to Montana that you are going to see and have your daughter wear ear-plugs? » Posted By javaz On June 5, 2010 @ 4:28 pm Alabama – If You’re Gonna Play in Texas You Gotta Have A Fiddle In The Band –

» Posted By javaz On June 4, 2010 @ 3:23 pm Wow! I just love them books, as does my husband, because they are silly things, but they do make us laugh and laugh out loud. There’s other ones in the series, and those are actually quite funny, too, but I wouldn’t recommend them at this point. I had hoped that others had read these books because they are so much fun and fun to talk about and the series really is wildly popular. Have you ever read Nora Roberts? Or her series under her pseudonym JD Robb? I collect all her books and am re-reading one of her series for the 5th time, and I just love them. The JD Robb books are a futuristic series and really not that far into the future -2050 is when they start, and those are really good murder mysteries, and more like that old TV series ‘Hart to Hart’. My husband has read a few of those, but he prefers the Janet Evanovich because of the humor. Another really fun book is “Agnes and the Hitman” by Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer. Don’t a lot of murder/mystery books, even by male authors, have a touch of romance? John Grisham has romance in his books as does Dean Koontz. Romance novels have a bad reputation and yes, there are many that do deserve it, but there are many that do not. That’s one of my complaints in how women authors so often get the romance writer reputation whereby the books are actually quite good and so many in-depth/researched history wound around fiction, so they don’t get the respect that they should, imho. » Posted By javaz On June 3, 2010 @ 5:21 pm Hiya Nellie! If you like mindless comedy, you’ll like the books! And as I wrote to KQ, the stories do get better and better as they progress. Even my 87 year old mother-in-law loves the books as do my brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law. Once Lula comes in and I think she begins in the 3rd book, things really start to roll on the humor. I wish I could tell you more, but don’t want to ruin anything in case you do read them! » Posted By javaz On June 3, 2010 @ 3:28 pm Hey KQ – the romance part in the series is secondary more or less. » Posted By javaz On June 3, 2010 @ 3:24 pm I think you will enjoy these books as they are truly hilarious and you fall in love with the characters from the get-go. They are just fun entertainment, easy to read – you can pretty much read one per day if you have the time – they do not require any thinking, and they are just laugh-out-loud hilarious. Another thing, once you get it into them, is the dilemma of when the series finally ends, since all good things must come to end, is who do you want to see Stephanie end up? Morelli or Ranger? I honestly cannot decide! LOL » Posted By javaz On May 30, 2010 @ 12:57 pm Kalima, you are right in that so much is hereditary. My father died of massive cancer, and his family all have been done in by cancer – my aunts and cousins and even male cousins have died from breast cancer. My dad died at 66 years old, as my uncles died young but I did have 2 aunts on his side that lived well into their 70’s and almost reached 80. On my mom’s side, they all die from heart attacks, and my mother died at 69, and no one on her side lived to see 70. Lost one of my brothers last December and he was 62 and died from heart failure. My odds for a long life isn’t great. I accept that and that’s why I never look back, but keep looking forward and I’d love to break the pattern. I cannot live my life worrying about what may be, but live my life to the fullest with no regrets. There’s nothing like a sunrise or a sunset. » Posted By javaz On May 30, 2010 @ 4:15 pm I’m so lucky, and don’t I know it, and it is the luck of the draw, isn’t it. I read your other replies on another article here whereby you lost a baby, and Kalima, there are no words. I’ve never had a child by choice, because it scared the hell out of me. I knew that I’d never be a good mom, and yet somehow, I ended up being a mom to my husband’s daughter. I wasn’t very good at that, as it was very hard to become a mom when the child was 12 and going on 13, and we all know how rebellious the teens can be. I failed, but then I recovered once she got older. I treasure the memories of when something went wrong in her life that I was the first person she called, so I guess that I wasn’t as bad as I thought. It’s heartbreaking to lose a child. » Posted By javaz On May 30, 2010 @ 3:47 pm I’m so very sorry, Kalima, that you suffer from RA. I do know what that means as a cousin that I was very close to suffered the same. The thing about RA is when children get it and they suffer from such a young age. It’s a debilitating disease and not enough attention is paid to it. » Posted By javaz On May 30, 2010 @ 3:23 pm Love it! The story all of us more mature women can relate to! I love being older. Forget the starvation dieting to be thin! We have come into age, and we are proud, even if a few pounds heavier. It’s all about confidence, and that means body image flows out the door, because it’s a mind game. I’m still working on the confidence thing and have hits and misses but it’s not so important anymore, even though I admit to being envious of being thin, but I just can’t be bothered with weighing 112 pounds at 5’8 and wearing a size 5 anymore. My husband still loves me and finds me sexy, and really, isn’t that enough? We’re not into the body image thing, and in reality, my husband and I never were into that when it came to us as a couple. Getting older is liberating, imho! Once I got through menopause, and no more worries about periods, and all that comes with having a monthly period, and my moods are more regular now compared to all the raging hormones. I love being the age that I am, and refuse to look back, but live today and look forward to tomorrow. I’m not one that has pictures around the house nor do I look at old photo albums, because that depresses me. Isn’t there a saying about living today and never looking back and how living today is a present? » Posted By javaz On May 30, 2010 @ 2:55 pm Here’s another thing that’s supposed to enhance a woman’s legs – http://www.impactlab.com/2010/03/22/fashion-shoes-cruel-unusual-punishment/ I own 2 pairs of dress shoes, and neither are fashionable. Like a mammography machine, why are women’s shoes created by men that hate women? Do they really believe that women were meant to shove their feet into 5 inch stilts and worse? And really, why does a mammography machine have a sharp corner that cuts into your armpits while your boobs are squished to a pancake? The squishing flat of the breast is pain enough, so why not have an arch-shaped thing instead of a square that presses into your arm-pits? Ever notice how many things that are not fun begin with the three letters spelling men? Menstruation Men! » Posted By javaz On May 30, 2010 @ 1:51 pm Well, crap, I went to hit reply and ended up giving you a thumbs down! Sorry, Boomer! They need to make something to help with clumsy fingers! Obviously, our leader is not of the age whereby he might need a bit of help in a certain department! Have I said too much? LMAO » Posted By javaz On May 30, 2010 @ 1:35 pm I’m actually trying to work out a song now! LOL Where’s TRP when we need him? » Posted By javaz On May 30, 2010 @ 1:31 pm Hey Boomer! I think Spanx really took off when Oprah admitted that she wore them on her show. » Posted By javaz On May 30, 2010 @ 1:30 pm I used to like her long ago, especially when she’d appear on Johnny Carson. But she was so mean to Elizabeth Taylor with her jokes about IHOP, and then she went totally out of control with the plastic surgery. She’s just mean and her daughter – well, don’t get me started on that _itch. Wait a minute. » Posted By javaz On May 30, 2010 @ 1:24 pm I remember a Frasier episode whereby Niles had his forehead injected with Botox to rid the wrinkles and he had no feeling in his forehead! I used to listen to Howard Stern when he was on free radio and one time he had on Joan Rivers after one of her cosmetic surgeries and she couldn’t shut her eyes! I don’t get why Joan Rivers always went on his show, nor her daughter, as Howard was just brutal to them both, but it was quite funny. » Posted By javaz On May 30, 2010 @ 1:14 pmComments Posted By javaz
Heck, he campaigned for McCain on his show!
I’ve tried to figure out the band that’s going to Montana, but there are no clues.
Willie did a series of spoofs about farming and those were hilarious.
I forgot he had a show.
But they are the “in-between the numbers” and they are more imaginative.
That one is very close to the Evanovich series, and I’ve read others by the pair but they weren’t as good as “Agnes and the Hitman”, but that’s another good one if you like murder mysteries with humor and a touch of romance.
It’s not the main focus of any of the stories.
The first book is more of an introduction to all the zany characters and the books actually do get better as they progress and more exciting.
There are some nail-biting endings in some, but they are simply more fun than anything else and a good escape from the serious issues.
I have a pair of black thick heeled 2-1/2-inch dress shoes – out of date, I know, but do not care – and a pair of flat-heeled dress shoes.
Menopause
It just occurred to me that I typed clitoris earlier, so I think it’s okay to call Joan and Melissa attention-seeking, narcissistic bitches!
(no offense to female canines)
