Maria, I admire the fact that Jane Fonda apologized for some of her actions back then.  However, having spoken to many ex-servicemen who were in Vietnam at the time I can understand their feelings towards her to this day.  I wish they could let it go as she wasn’t the only protester, just the one with the best press.

I agree Jane, Maria presented a beautifully written post. I have not always agreed with what Ms. Fonda has stated but I do think she has made valid points and she always gone out of her way to present them. I have respect for a person who articulates an argument with respect and dignity. IMHO, her gifts outweigh a few misguided words that were perhaps taken out of context by the press. We are human and subject to err. Perhaps I am ignorant of that period for I was just a kid then and other things interested me far more. Also the school I attended never covered the Vietnam War at all and it was only after I graduated that I learned more about it.

Living in a very narrowminded part of the country, I have to remind myself that everyone walks to a different drummer and that is what makes us unique. If one is openminded and willing to explore new ideas and concepts it is amazing what we can learn from each other.

I can understand their feelings, as well. And I think a great deal of the hatred towards her comes from those photos. It's one of those terrible mistakes in life that there is no way of taking back.  

That is very true. Pictures don't lie and tends to be the inflammatory that get drilled into the pscyhe of a person.

Good writing vibes Maria...

Lots here in the wintertime (golf courses, you know), and a few hang around all year.

My favourite season is Autumn - and this is a continent of non deciduous trees! I'm looking forward to being in Canada and the NW states in October.

He's "77" now but still thinks he is a pup. Always the affectionate one.
I'll post a pic of his more standoffish sister!

George!    Can't you ask your sister to go to the store for you?


I'm so glad you said that.  I went for a walk & the entire time kept thinking I should have asked that very same question.  

George did the basmati turn out okay?

My friend and muse Margaret called to tell me she's in love with my new play, and thinks it's the best thing I've written.  What's fascinating about the comments I've gotten is that I set out to write a 60s-style (but today) comedy - something with a lot of laughs and a little heart.  But apparently I've written something more - more heart and something that says a little something about young people today vs. older people today.  Isn't that funny?  Who knew?  Anyway, that made me feel better, and she gave me her sage advice about how to deal with the problem I'm faced with.

According to the directions, it's now done soaking (the timer literally just went off) and I'm about to turn on the stove.  I'll let you know. :)

I forgot about soaking the basmati.  I don't bother when I use olive oil.  The way you are making it is better for you right now, gentler on the stomach.

Right now, I'm listening to Donald's radio interview with Kevin Spirtas and it's quite delightful!  However, "Untitled Clip 4" doesn't work!  Did anyone else have a problem with this clip?  Did anyone let Donald know?

I just checked the Donald's radio show and it's all better!  I did send PM to Donald.  I don't know if he did something or if something was just temporarily having a problem, but it all seems to be fine, now. :D

So, once the rice starts simmering (for 35 minutes), you don't touch it?  And is it supposed to smell like popcorn?

Periodically I search sites with dogs or cats in need of a home.  Sometimes a pair of dogs or a pair of cats will be listed.  Does anyone know of a site with a pair consisting of one dog & one cat?
