I don’t know....she tried to enlist in the WACs and then in the WAVES. Neither would allow her because she was too tall. She kept trying, even after she was rejected.

Good morning, Ms Feather....she was quite the character.

Hope you are staying warm. *hugs*

Good morning, Sand...((HUGS))...did you get any cooking tips from her?

I’m off to work....later.

Her recipes are the best. Once again a testimonial to being professionally expert and personally flawed.

I think she probably was a strong patriot, but movies and those who make them being what they are, they try to put as negative a spin on such sentiments as possible - as I remember it, they did show a bit about how she came from a staunch conservative Republican family with the obligatory snarky comments about such roots, and her husband was portrayed as being beset and hounded by those evil people in whatever government agency he was working for who were trying to expose possible communist influence in its operations - as shown it seemed her patriotism was downplayed and had been muted perhaps because of dissatisfaction with her family and sympathy for the travails of her husband - but politics aside “Julie ad Julia” was good picture especially in showing how she developed her cooking interests and career, and some of the unintentionally funny situations she got herself into on the way.....

Thank you so very much, ConorMacNessa, for posting Capt. Lefon's Chronicle Of "The Empty Chair." It brings tears of gratitude to my eyes....

Good morning Pro ((HUGS))

Yes, I know I am on yesterday’s thread. I don’t have time to post on today’s thread but wanted to say hello to you without having to answer pings. I’m trying to get a short report updated and sent of to the govyboss, which was supposed to have been done yesterday.

We have sunshine this morning, and will get a brief warm up (however, anything above 20 is a warm up these days) this weekend.

Hope you have a warmlicious day.

Thank you ever so much for the link to Schumann's (b. 1810 – d. 1856 — he died young) magnificent Kinderszenen, composed for orchestra.

It is heartening to know that such a "troubled" human being never cut himself off from his Main Source. And that so much beauty resulted from his life's work....

[hosepipe]

Amazing a human can be so good at a few things and so tragically bad at other things..

Which sets the base for Second reality.. and Third and maybe even Fourth..

Examples: Saul Alinsky; Joe Stalin; Mao; Hitler; Obama; Karl Marx; Napoleon; Genghis Khan; Stephan Hawking; Dawkins Etc..

Music (it seems) cuts through all the “realities”
