Thought for the Day--February 9, 2011 (Second Entry): Definition of a Crazy Woman

Some days are just too good for only one thought for the day. Tina Fey, writer and comedian, offers this gem: I have a suspicion...that the definition of "crazy" in show business is a woman who keeps talking even after no one wants to f**k her anymore*. Fey adds that the crazy label does not seem to apply to Betty White because she is still considered sexually desirable. :=) If you are a lady of a certain age, never feel afraid to speak your mind; you have a right to be heard--never let a man, especially a young whippersnapper half your age--determine how you think and what you say. And, young men, respect and listen to women, for they are so much more than receptacles for your seed. ______________________________ *Source of quotation and paraphrase: "Confessions of a Juggler," The New Yorker , February 14 & 21, 2011, 65-65.

Thought for the Day--February 9, 2011: Positive Distractions

At this time of the year, it would be so easy to slide off the track. Avoid overeating by distracting yourself with something else, such as an activity: knitting, reading, playing with your kids or grand kids, playing board games, etc. Enjoy luscious goodies, but turn off the food spigot--when it's time to stop eating.
