I do not believe all I read on the internet. Continue Reading In Judith Ripka 1368672514.383 I am sorry for your loss. My father used to say you can replace things but not people. I hope you have your locks changed and have a security system installed. They must have been watching your house and knew your schedule. I am glad you are safe. They have now seen the inside of your house and who knows if they will come back. Please take care and be mindful of your surroundings. When I was married many years ago, my husband and I went grocery shopping. When we turned into our driveway, my husband noticed our front door was open and our new VCR was sitting on the front lawn. I went next door... Continue Reading In Among Friends 1368417582.39 I can relate to you. I do like being alone. I have a dog and I am very content. I just like to do what I want to do and have no strings. I would say I am happy. I do have times that I feel lonely but it soon passes. My son and granchildren live in another state. I do not think you are a lone wolf. I am like my father. He passed 8 years ago and I still miss him. Keep being who you are. Continue Reading In TSV Talk 1367508266.027 I bought the green. It is just what I need to clean up bathroom floors and kitchen floors. I would rather use this vac than a broom. Also, I will be able to vaccum my stairs without carrying my heavy vac. It does not look cheap to me. It has alot of power. I am looking forward to getting mine. Continue Reading In Suggestion Box 1367270378.753 I have 100% cotton tops and they stretch out. I wash them in cold water and hang to dry. I do not like spandex because they are like girdles. I like cotton/poly. It works for me and they last forever. They are cool and comfortable. I wash and hang to dry---no ironing. If I did that with cotton, I would have to iron them. Continue Reading In Fashion Talk 1367192413.38 Today I bought 6 Tees ($5.95 ea) from Kohl's for $41.45. They are the Sonoma brand. They are cotton/polyester. I already own 6 and they are over a year old. They wash and wear beautifully. I will not pay the high prices Q asks for their tunics or t-shirts. I spend my dollars wisely. I do my shopping online and shop around for the best prices and ones that suit my lifestyle.

But she didn't quite realize how many women she could reach until she made a pitch on late-night TV. The company's rapid growth led to a 2006 IPO, followed by the sale of the company this year for $1.7 billion to Shiseido, the Japanese beauty giant. Today, Bare Escentuals, based in San Francisco, has 130 boutiques in the U.S. and one in the U.K., and employs 2,200. Continue Reading In Beauty Banter 1366482199.623 I do not think Leslie is going on a sabbatical. I think she has been asked to step down just like Christina from Philosophy. They sold their companies and made billions---they do not need to work anymore. This is just her excuse to go on with her life. When you sell you company, you do not have the input and leverage you use to have. Maybe she is just unhappy with what has happened with this acquisition. She said she had been on Q for sixteen years yet Lee Sands, Joan Rivers, Laura Geller have been on at least 20 years or longer and they do not need a sabatical. It is really sad when honesty ...

What is going on in our society? It has become scary. I live in Costa Mesa, Ca and they closed off an area and the residents had to leave their homes due to explosives. A man was laying on the lawn and would not let anyone help him. I am wondering if this is widespread. Who knows? Continue Reading
