01.17.06What’s up with that?The first time I watched Eurovision with my husband I was very excited to have a chance to see performers from several European? countries and hear performers sing songs in their own languages. Yeah, right! Almost all of the participants sang popular songs in English with horrible accents that made the hairs on my head stand. Horrible! And, disappointing. The few participant's that didn't get aboard the singing English boat from Hell and actually sang in their own language with music based on traditional sounds from their own countries were awesome! Another thing that bugs me about all this Eurovision, etc. Can anyone explain ...

01.13.06Who’s that girl???REALLY? Click here and follow the step by step instructions to unveil this girl's real face. I think she was prettier in the before picture. What do you think? Jamie Lee Curtis in MORE magazine/September 2002 Jamie Lee as herself ( no lights, no makeup, no retouching). She is a true example of a naturally beautiful woman. She is brave and fearless. She is my personal role model. I wish more young girls would identify with women that are real and not like the airbrushed cover girls on the front of most magazines. Photo: MORE magazine/September 2002 Where are these guys when I get ready in the morning? Photo: MORE magazine/September 2002 Let's ...

01.02.06Prostitution in France by women who may be mothers like meI will never forget the first time I visited Paris. All the history of the city pressed down upon me and as I turned at each corner a new discovery lay before me. In one street my husband told me that Napoleon must have ridden his horse there. I stepped out into the street (not a busy one) to stand where he may have passed trying to imagine what it must have looked like during this time. The buildings are pretty much the same. I just had to imagine the streets filled with horses instead of cars and we were ...

11.28.05How American are you?You Are 52% American Most times you are proud to be an American. Though sometimes the good ole US of A makes you cringe Still, you know there's no place better suited to be your home. You love your freedom and no one's going to take it away from you! How American Are You? This is a cute little test to do and to be fair what it says about my "Americanism" is somewhat true. But, if anyone tries to tell me I am not 100 percent American because I do not support the war, live in another country, do not like the egghead currently in ...

11.12.05Never forget what some men have done so that others can do more.DSCN1390 Originally uploaded by AmericanNight. Yesterday, the French were invading Germany. And the Germans were ready! Ready, with vans parked on the side of the road supporting huge signs advertising this or that company or product. Each year the French brave the traffic to visit Germany on November the 11th. This year we were among them simply because everything in France is closed. November 11th is a national holiday. It is to remember the first World War. I, without thinking, asked my husband why the Germans were not also taking this day to remember. After all it was a terrible memory for ...

11.01.05Half a thousand worriesHalf a thousand worries Originally uploaded by His Noodly Appendage. I can only hope that one day the current men in power will lose their power and that men of intelligence and respect for other cultures and countries will come into power. But that will not happen as long as other men blindly follow leaders that promote hate and ignorance. We teach our children to be kind to others and to work their problems out in non- violent ways because there are consequences for actions. Yet, men in power act like two year olds and the consequences are real. The pain is real. I ...

10.31.05Beware. Rough draft!Not happy about the way the world is going and just letting it out in rough draft! Warning: I do not like men in power especially if they tolerate killing other people for any reason. I just do not trust them. It goes against nature. A mother carries a baby for nine months only to bring it into a world of hate and lies. I just do not like it!!! Two years before 9/11 happened I told my husband I felt someone would attack America. It was impossible for so many people to hate America in the world and for some radicals ...
