So, for no reason whatsoever, I am up and looking at “stuff.”
I came across this older pic of Kristi Noem. She was such a pretty woman! I can’t understand why anyone who looked like this would go the plastic Barbie route and butcher her face! She looked so much better before! What do you think, Jem? Maybe I just think a natural look is much nicer.

Yikes. Another wild ride tomorrow (actually today lol). Tariffs up to 245% on China.

Oh definitely, the natural look is nicer. Even as an older woman, I think the natural look is better than the plastic faces. They look like they have a mask on. And they’re stuck with it for the rest of their lives! What horror!
I also hate, loathe, despise the prostitute makeup that many cheerleaders, majorettes, dancers, and gymnasts wear. It makes me wonder what are they promoting?
Morning ladies! Guessing Judy maybe found the sandman
You know there is nothing wrong with making the best you can of your body n face. I believe the same concept hold for our yards, meals and other things of life
When do we cross the line
Well kept beautiful yard vs drop dead $$$ landscaping yard services?
Great good meals vs catering all in 5 star
Your face utilizing good skin care vs minimal plastic surgery
Minimal plastic surgery vs more extreme - chasing a dream?
Your body ? Positive approach to maintain tone, flexibility strength vs untold high $$ for personal trainer and spas galore
Again - where do we cross the line and more importantly why? For whom?
Part of the problem we have with mass media attempting to shape our value system
ALL THAT SAID
I know I have personal issues of what age has impacted my appearance
The past 3 years since being in NC have been major
Smooth great skin turned into creepy flesh
Good facial appearance now a road map
Excessive stress maybe a factor but then there is age and weight/body type
My height now 5’5” due to scoliosis was and is medically factored at 5’8” and weight of 125 make the issue understandable
MsB I recall you mentioning a few months ago about the horrors of your significant weight loss -,on your face
My mom was always an extreme beauty but in later years obese She was still beautiful and at 80 had skin of 20 year old Fat.
So we women need to evaluate our reason for going natural, trying to look ok/ your best vs extreme measures for vanity sake
Men’s biggest issue perhaps receding hair loss . Bald is in a big help

Star Wars fans
Gossip curious
Princess Leia and Hans - behind the scenes
The short affair well known . Trivial perhaps but for two people back then - not trivial
I’m a Star Wars fan. My interest in cinema goes beyond the actual movies . To the music( John William’s genius) , cast, locations, director etc . Yes in the big scheme of this quite trivial

Carrie Fisher was 19, new to fame, and stepping into a galaxy far, far away. It was during the London shoot of “Star Wars” in 1976, inside the chilly, chaotic sets at Elstree Studios, that her affair with 33-year-old Harrison Ford began. An affair kept entirely secret for nearly four decades. Ford, who played the cocky and magnetic Han Solo, was married with two children. Fisher, portraying the rebellious Princess Leia, found herself entangled in a complex emotional web she wouldn’t publicly untangle until she was 60.
The night it began was surreal. A birthday party for George Lucas’s production assistant spiraled into drunken chaos. Fisher, feeling out of place among the older British crew, was cornered by some men, and suddenly Ford appeared, quiet and protective. She later recalled in her memoir, “The Princess Diarist,” how he whisked her away into his car. “He was kind, gentle, and attentive,” she wrote. “And he smelled so good. I was drawn to him in ways I didn’t completely understand.”
The affair continued quietly for three months, unfolding during night shoots and weekend breaks, hidden from Lucas, the crew, and the wider world. Fisher, already grappling with self-doubt and a deep sense of loneliness, found in Ford something that felt like stability, though she later admitted that feeling was more illusion than truth. “I always wanted him to say he loved me, but he never did,” she admitted in her memoir, adding that she kept hoping he’d see her as more than a passing moment in his life.
At the time, Fisher masked her insecurities with humor, but privately she was overwhelmed. She struggled with the awareness that Ford was not emotionally available. He rarely spoke about his wife or children, and she knew better than to ask. Yet the emotional weight of the secrecy consumed her. “It was Han and Leia during the day, and something messier at night,” she reflected in an interview. The dissonance between their onscreen chemistry and their offscreen silence gnawed at her.
Decades later, in 2016, with Ford’s silent blessing, Fisher finally detailed the affair in “The Princess Diarist.” It had been one of Hollywood’s best-kept secrets. Even Mark Hamill, their co-star, had no idea. In interviews, he admitted, “I was shocked. I was right there, and I didn’t see a thing. They were that discreet.” When asked why she chose to reveal it so many years later, Fisher said simply, “I’m tired of carrying someone else’s secret.”
The writing in her memoir revealed not bitterness, but emotional honesty. She revisited her 19-year-old self with compassion, describing her vulnerability with unflinching clarity. “If I’d known about feminism then, maybe I’d have demanded more,” she wrote. “But I was young, and I thought being loved meant being chosen, even secretly.”
Ford, for his part, never publicly commented in detail. When asked during a GQ interview about Fisher’s revelations, he replied, “It was strange. For me.” That was all he offered. Fisher later said he had been kind about her decision to go public, though visibly uncomfortable. She had given him advance notice, sent him the manuscript, and even offered to delete parts if he objected. He didn’t ask for any changes.
The affair ended quietly when filming wrapped, and their lives moved in different directions. Ford’s career soared. Fisher battled addiction, mental illness, and the burden of living in Leia’s shadow. Yet they reunited onscreen in “The Force Awakens” nearly 40 years later, bringing Han and Leia’s dynamic full circle. On set, their chemistry remained electric. “We’ve always had that weird spark,” Fisher joked during a press interview. “It just never made sense.”
She died the same year she published her memoir. For many, her story with Ford became not gossip, but a raw, human look at a young woman learning love’s most painful lesson: how it feels to love someone who doesn’t love you back in the same way.
Carrie Fisher’s honesty revealed what fiction never could, the fragile truth behind the fantasy.

The first things to look at when supporting someone with depression:
🌿 Diet – Are they getting enough nutrients to support brain health?
☀️ Sunlight – Regular exposure to natural light can naturally boost mood.
🛏️ Sleep – Is their rest deep and consistent? Poor sleep can worsen symptoms.
🚶 Movement – Even gentle daily exercise can lift spirits and reduce stress.
🧠 Gut Health – An unhealthy gut can directly impact emotional wellbeing.
🌬️ Breathing – Are they breathing deeply and slowly, or shallow and rapid? Proper breathing calms the nervous system and improves mental clarity.
💧 Hydration – The brain is a hydroelectric system — no hydro, no electricity. Just starting to drink a little more water each day can improve focus, mood, and energy levels.
Sometimes, the smallest lifestyle shifts lead to the most powerful healing.

Anyone have FIRST Hand experience ?
Just for the record, I am NOT AT ALL a Star Wars fan. The first movie was okay, the rest were boring.

Wow! Fake News MSNBC has REALLY BAD RATINGS, in fact, not much better than the broken broadcasting disaster known as CNN. Comcast, which also has the ailing network known as NBC, is trying to stay away from lawsuits by disassociating NBC from MSNBC, but it won’t work. Comcast, the owner of both, and it’s Chairman, Brian Roberts, are a disgrace to the integrity of Broadcasting!!!

The United States is taking in RECORD NUMBERS in Tariffs, with the cost of almost all products going down, including gasoline, groceries, and just about everything else. Likewise, INFLATION is down. Promises Made, Promises Kept!

Japan is coming in today to negotiate Tariffs, the cost of military support, and “TRADE FAIRNESS.” I will attend the meeting, along with Treasury & Commerce Secretaries. Hopefully something can be worked out which is good (GREAT!) for Japan and the USA!

Everyone knows that Harvard has “lost its way.” They hired, from New York (Bill D) and Chicago (Lori L), at ridiculously high salaries/fees, two of the WORST and MOST INCOMPETENT mayors in the history of our Country, to “teach” municipal management and government. These two Radical Left fools left behind two cities that will take years to recover from their incompetence and evil. Harvard has been hiring almost all woke, Radical Left, idiots and “birdbrains” who are only capable of teaching FAILURE to students and so-called “future leaders.” Look just to the recent past at their plagiarizing President, who so greatly embarrassed Harvard before the United States States Congress. When it got so bad that they just couldn’t take it anymore, they moved this grossly inept woman into another position, teaching, rather than firing her ON THE SPOT. Since then much else has been found out about her, but she remains in place. Many others, like these Leftist dopes, are teaching at Harvard, and because of that, Harvard can no longer be considered even a decent place of learning, and should not be considered on any list of the World’s Great Universities or Colleges. Harvard is a JOKE, teaches Hate and Stupidity, and should no longer receive Federal Funds. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
