Next month in Long Beach, CA I’m quite excited to be attending The Women’s Conference, “The Nation’s Premier Women’s Conference,” founded in 1985 and organized by the First Lady of California each year since then. I really wanted to go last year. Maria Shriver puts on one heckuva shindig! But I wasn’t on top of [...]
I’ve been thinking about lawsuits today. That’s what happens when you get threatened by one twice in one week. I’ve never been sued before. (Or even threatened before. I know. Hard to believe with my mouth.) But it could be fun—from a blogging perspective. Do they let you bring a laptop into the courtroom? Is there [...]
Do the terms conspiracy, collusion, wage fixing, shafting employees, and stifling competition sound like a good way to run a business? It CAN’T be a good idea—as according to the U.S. Justice Department—engaging in anti-trust activities is ILLEGAL. But of course that doesn’t stop the corporate giants known as the Slimy Six: Apple, Google, Intel, [...]
Question: Can one have too many floral shoes? Hmmm… Oh, silly, that’s an easy one! Answer: One can NEVER have too many shoes of any kind—floral, plaid, polka-dot, paisley, striped, black, purple, turquoise, fuchsia, or any other color or print. So of course, the answer is NO. I collect floral pumps. I look at them [...]
Random thoughts…from me and others… I told my bro I am the proud owner of CometList.com (see my blog of 9/21/10). This was his response: T, We must summon the universal healing powers of knowledge to cure/cleanse our planet of human stupiditis! It shouldn’t have to take a comet to do it, but the karma of collective consciousness must balance itself [...]
[Part 1 of a 2-part series.] The ability to smell is our most important sense. This is proven by what happens to our senses in the starving to death process. Taste goes first. Then sight. Then sound. And lastly smell. It has to do with self-preservation, the location in the brain of the olfactory bulb [...]
Everyone wants in on the act! My brother read my blog about Faux-Pastor Jones, Sheriff Bullock, and the duct tape solution. He has his own idea for a duct tape solution. My brother thinks Earth has been so screwed up by its human inhabitants that it needs a “planetary cleansing.” He proposes a “Comet [...]
There can’t possibly be a more emotionally compelling film produced this year than The Tillman Story—because not only is it inspirational, gut wrenching, humorous, tragic, suspenseful, lovely, and infuriating, IT’S TRUE. The film by director Amir Bar-Lev covers the amazing life of Pat Tillman: from the hometown boy growing up in New Almaden, California—to his college football [...]
Is it me, or is nastiness from a woman harder to take than from a man? I wondered this after I read on Amazon.com a woman’s review of a book by a female author. The commentary was below-the-garter-belt awful. OK, no one wears a garter belt any more, but that’s the best I can do [...]
[This is Part 4 of a 5-Part Series. Part 1 is 8/23/10; Part 2 is 8/24/10; part 3 is 8/27/10.] Thought 1. The age range of the mostly-women audience was wider than I expected. It spanned the 20s to the 70s (maybe 80s?). But the target audience of the play was the Baby Boomer Generation, [...]
