Thanks for sharing this, Barbie. So many similarities between how we have processed the memories of our parents final days (your dad’s, my mom’s). It’s good to read your thoughts. Can’t wait to see you!

I remember meeting your dad once…he had a pet boa constrictor– I thought that was pretty cool–I wore the snake for a belt while I was there..he was really nice to me and I am glad I got to meet him…

So honest Barbie – people, like life, are full of contradictions. Love. Ruth xxxx

Thank you, Barbie, for your beautiful remembrance. It seems our dads left this world the same year… my dad after Father’s Day 2004. And I still miss him. It is interesting to me how differently people deal with failing health, your dad’s experience and expression much different than mine. Wonderful commitment to continue to be aware and shift (as needed) your thoughts, words and actions to determine your future.

I have an image of the monkeys in The Wizard of Oz. NOT to be toyed with! Better left to their monkey business; I trust all will settle once they’ve had their fun! (It always does, eh? All mammals sleep!)

Comment on Giving it up for Lent by Cate LaBarre

Dear Lucy, I mean Barbie, I can just hear Dannie’s laughter, but I just want you to know that when I ask for your advice, I really want it! So this isn’t just for you, all of those who count on your wise counsel have to give up ASKING for lent. What’s up with that?

Hum. I’m a born again agnostic, doesn’t that give me an exemption?

Oh, BTW, another good use for duct tape besides “homeland security” — the mouth! :[ just in case.

Love from one of your biggest fans and advice seekers… 39 days to go and counting.

Well, yes…I did laugh…at first. But then insightful reflection set in and I thought to myself, “Self…you just might get yourself, and myself, into all kinds of trouble without Barbie’s solicited (and unsolicited) advice for six entire whole consecutive weeks…YOW!!!” Oh, well…I guess that I can always PAY for her advice…or…hey, here’s a better thought. I can go to any one (or more) of the many very wise women whom I am privileged to know (in no particular order): Jean G., Donna, Suteera, e-Liz, Aila, Great Cate, Anya, Barrie, Joan, Jean D., Adrienne, Emily, MJ and Minnie Moore…er…many more!

First, I LOVE the illustration for this blog post…MAGNIFICO! Second, (and as always with your e-philosophizing) this is a fine bit of musing…thought-provoking in no small way. I do plan to try what you suggested…stay tuned. Also, if you REALLY want to get tips on how to be frivolous with your $$$, I know a certain 24-year-old lad who could quiet easily earn a PhD in that subject…of course, you would probably have to pay him big bucks. LOL!
