I enjoyed the interview that Dr. Oz had with Oprah today. I hope Adriana did, as well. You could tell how happy she was to be on his show. I loved it when she said that it was like seeing her son grow up. She, after all, helped him to get his show started.
As I listened to them, I realized that I’ve missed Oprah. I didn’t watch her show every day when it was on network television, but I always felt better in some way with the ones I did watch. I’m thankful she has a web site so that I can still enjoy her words of wisdom.They’re priceless. It was so nice to once again hear her share them.
Oprah surprised me today, though. I thought she meditated. I guess I was wrong. She said that she discovered a small town in Iowa, where the majority of residents meditate and that’s when she learned how.
I thought Oprah had learned how to meditate from Deepak Chopra. Heh. That reminds me of his silliness when he mentions that if she were to marry him then her name would be Oprah Chopra. And Deepak’s words of wisdom mean more to me than words can even begin to express.
Speaking of Iowa. There’s a short news article about a malpractice suit in the Chicago Tribune. It says that the man who sued Mercy Medical Center and Dr. Daniel Miulli in 2002 won’t be receiving the whopping $10.6 million he had been awarded.
It’s too bad that someone found it necessary to create malpractice insurance at all. I wonder who did it, when they did it, and why they did it. I’m sadly reminded of Michael Jackson’s death and the outcome of the trial of his doctor, Dr. Conrad Murray. He was sentenced to four years in prison for involuntaty manslaughter. Enough time?

As children we had dreams of becoming whatever sounded exciting to us at the time. My son, Anthony wanted to be a doctor, but, he couldn’t stand the sight of blood. He also wanted to be a math teacher. He does teach now, while he’s attending college. And now he’s considering becoming a lawyer. Ambitious and highly intelligent. Hmm. There’s another man I love who sounds just like this.
Anyway, my daughter, Adriana wanted to be a Pediatrician. Just the thought of vomit disgusts her, so she decided against it. She has also discussed interest in becoming a crisis councelor. She has so much potential in this career. Experience is the best teacher, after all. Whenever she’s ready and she puts her mind to it, I’m sure she’ll excel in whatever she chooses to do.
So, two of my children wanted to be doctors. I don’t know what dreams my other daughter had because I didn’t raise her. Long story. It used to be emotionally draining for me to talk about, but now, I’m all talked out. And it’s in the past. So thankful for that! She’s doing well as a Nail Technician now.
As for me, I wanted to be a beautician, a writer, and an airline stewardess. I guess they are now referred to as flight attendants. I checked out library books about how to become one and was saddened when I read that I wouldn’t qualify because of my height and knew that I would never be pretty enough.
There have been many changes in the criteria since the late 60s and early 70s view, but, I got over it long ago. My desire was to travel. To fly high. Well, I’ve done that before, until I said to myself, “I wish I wasn’t high”. Now for me to get high, all I have to do is eat some dark chocolate. Or, preferably, use my imagination thinking thoughts of “him”…taking my breath away. Him and his sparkling diamond eyes. ~swoon~.
Hey, I wonder if those seeking Travel Agent Jobs are hoping to get a lot of perks along with it. Flying for free, perhaps?

I logged onto Ticketmaster.com using my wireless internet Greensboro connection yesterday. My husband and I are going to visit friends and family in Salt Lake City for Thanksgiving and staying a little while after so that we can go skiing. I wanted to surprise them with something nice and heard that the Cirque do Soliel would be performing the “Thriller” show in Salt Lake while we were going to be there. Luckily, I was able to get five tickets for a pretty reasonable price. I am going to surprise them with the tickets when we get out there. The only other Cirque do Soliel show that I have seen is the Beatles “Love” show in Las Vegas. It was one of the most amazing things that I have ever seen in my life for sure. The music was great but the performers were even better. That are really talented and almost can move like they aren’t even human. I can’t wait to see them perform to “Thriller”, it is going to be thrilling (ha!).

My uncle smoked cigars that looked like macanudo cigars. Who knows, maybe that’s what they were. I could always smell them no matter where I was in the house. Except my bedroom, as long as the door was closed. Their house was a duplex. My room was upstairs where another family could live comfortably. I had no choice but to tolerate it without saying a word. Unless I wanted to get in trouble. And you can bet I would have if I had uttered a word of protest.
Depending on what flavor he was smoking, I didn’t mind the aroma of his pipe tobacco. I couldn’t even begin to guess what the flavors were except to say they smelled fruity. I didn’t necessarily like it, but I didn’t choke on the smell, either.
I much preferred the fruity-scented pipe tobacco to my aunt’s cigarette smoke, though. Right. And then after I moved out I began smoking myself. Purely under the influence of peer pressure.
No. It’s true. I was a follower. I had a foster sister who smoked and I started smoking with her. She still smokes and I don’t. Nor do I like the smell. Never did much, even with I did smoke. I guess you could say I tolerated it. Maybe I should have told myself off. I don’t kno. I may have gotten myself in trouble.

I’m not an astrology expert nor do I read my horoscopes every day. And when I do these days I may read the entire passage, but I usually dismiss the last part because it’s always so negative and they are almost always, if not always wrong anyway.
My birthday is November 21 which means that I’m on the cusp. I can have both Scorpio and Sag (Sagittarius) attributes. I’m still learning and discovering myself and as I do that it looks as though I have about 50% of each, but there are times when it seems as though I should have been born on the 22nd because I notice so much Sagittarius in me.
No matter what, it’s a learning experience and it’s fun and interesting as well. I’m following someone on Twitter who is all about Scorpio. She’s tweeted a lot that doesn’t resonate with me at all and some that does. This is the reason I think I have more Sag in me than Scorpio. She’s describing my sister who is also a Scorpio. It’s funny because while we are a lot alike, from what I’ve learned about the bolder Scorpios, that’s how we are so different. I’m not the bolder of the two.
I just recently learned that Scorpios who were born on the 21st have elegance as their signature attribute. I’m not sure if that’s the proper way of desbribing it, but, that’s all I can think of right now. And just tonight I thought of my sister and her taste in clothes and perfumes. It fits her perfectly. Maybe it would me if I didn’t choose to use my money for other things. Like this computer. And used books. Why am I thinking about the past? And chocolate (when I have the money).
I’m not saying I don’t like elegance. I do. It’s just never been a matter of importance to me. I wonder how I’d feel in one of these school girl outfits. And would I be bold enough to wear one? Now? I think so, given the right circumstances. I’d probably choose something just as sexy or even sexier, but again, that just depends on some factors of which I’m choosing not to share…for now anyway.

I’ve said that I’m fascinated by the brain. It’s so complex and if I want to learn about it, focusing on the subject is a must. There’s a new drama on CBS that has me even more intrigued about the workings of the brain now.
It’s also spiritual, but, if I want to blog about that part, I’ll do that at Spiritually Speaking. A Gifted Man is a new favorite show of mine. That’s makes three now, I think.
There’s so much to like about this show. From the drama to the humor to the spirituality, to the inspired from real-life stories. It all blends in so well together and adding to the actors like two of them being, Patrick Wilson and Rachelle Lefevre seeming to just fit their parts perfectly, makes it a big hit in my opinion.
Although I was somewhat disappointed by the episode from two weeks ago, they made up for it last week. The reason for my disappointment was because of the lack of anything spiritual, which is what caught my interest in the first place. That didn’t stop me from watching it, but I do hope they continue to bring new spins to the mystical.
I have my own ideas, let’s see if they will do a quantum leap into the minds of the powers that be at CBS. One similar idea already did.
That was only one episode and I wasn’t entirely disappointed. With that being said, I think they deserve to win the People’s Choice Award they’ve been nominated for. I’m having trouble with the web site and can’t vote right now. I’ll try again later. Good luck!

This city used to be known for it’s manufacturing industries. But now if you go around town what used to be noisy factories are now just empty and abandoned buildings that are making this city look like a growing junkyard.
Well, maybe I’m exaggerating some, but the truth is, the windows are either broken or boarded up and the unkept lawns diminish any beauty that the yards may have possessed when the companies were at one time thriving.
I used to work for a company that has been in budiness for over 100 years. I was happy to discover that have been able to continue their long-time life here and have even expanded the customer service department, which is where I enjoyed working for most of my time there.
I often think of this company when I see or think about caterpillars because the company with the same name manufacture machines which are used to manufacture skidsteer loaders.
