Excellent!!! (Reply to this comment)
by Lark729_89
I sure do love these autobiographies. The writers of Epinions do a fantastic job. Thanks so much for sharing yours with us. I loved it.
PS) I have a friend whose suitcases have wheels. She is gone to a different location every 2 months. I call her "the galavanter" so you remind me of her.
By the way, My daughter-in-law's mom lives in Spartansburg, she just recently lost her husband. I'm wondering if maybe you know her. Perhaps I'll e-mail you.

I think there's no question we have to think of how we all fit together and most people are good people. There are a few in every country but for the most part people are good.
Thank you

I drink about six Cokes a day myself, 'cept I go with the full flavor. I must have inherited my Mom's "iron stomach" because I've yet to have a problem. But then again, there are decades for me to go...
I love what you said in #20 about thinking globally. I am kind of learning in my own way how to be proud of being an American; it just bothers me when people speak of being proud of it as though it were some kind of accomplishment on their part. It's more of a blessing than anything else. But it does make me proud to be a part of planet Earth, where for the most part, the beings are fundamentally good.

So Much Wisdom & Beauty!!! (Reply to this comment)
by AinsleyJo
There's so much wisdom and beauty in the thoughts you've shared here, and I tend to agree with you about what's important to God, because it's right there in the Bible and right out of Jesus' mouth!!!
That was a sweet lesson your granny taught you about why people should go to church!!!
As I read about your life, I could almost see it playing out as a movie with a wonderful soundtrack, and I could taste everything from steak to plain ol' home cookin' in my mouth (messages from my senses due to what you'd written)!!!
Thanks for sharing!!!
Hugs!

Yes, I was covering a party. I didn't realize you'd lived in Omaha. Sorry about your car, but glad your sister is fine.

OOOh (Reply to this comment)
by drdevience
Did you happen to be in on covering that Tornado of '75 there? Threw my first car thru the neighbor's living room and buried my little sister in another neighbor's basement (she's ok).. actually, that neighbor was a reporter for the Omaha World Herald.. what the hell was his name.. hmm... had a son named Jonathon.. Taylor? Tyler? We lived at Wentworth at the time in a townhouse.
What memories.

And here I thought it was . . . . (Reply to this comment)
by ed_grover
Brenda Star, girl reporter, that you patterned yourself after. That's a full life . . . and I'm glad you entered mine. I had a chance to interview for the gay paper I worked for and turned it down. Just think, I might have interviewed Cher and lots of other gay-friendly stars that pass through Milwaukee. That was a great list and I'm glad ta know ya!

Spartanburg, SC (Reply to this comment)
by SurgRN911
A stones throw from my home in NC. I too am Catholic and credit God for all my good fortunes, and the bad ones were usually when I refused to listen to Him. I know He always answers us, I just have to realize sometimes that answer is NO!
Wonderful review, thank you for sharing it with us, I knew I liked you for a reason, now I have 20

....wonderful and I feel I've gotten to know you better. I love the way you word things.
My, my you have met some wonderful people in your life. That is awesome. It touched my heart to hear you say the one you most admired was Jonas Salk...sure do remember getting those polio vaccinations and how grateful I was that I didn't have to get a disease that my cousin had.
God bless......kath

Mom, you forgot one of the biggest things! (Reply to this comment)
by MsHooterville
You didn't mention that when you decide to quit something, like smoking and drinking, you do it on the FIRST try. That's what I always tell people that I think is amazing about my mom, because I don't know anybody else who has done that.

About Pieces, Peaches, and Powers higher than us! (Reply to this comment)
by ruby950
Dear Lois~
I must hear more about these interviews......perhaps over cocktails? Would you like to take The Howard Street "L" just for old times? Have I told you that my husband went to Northwestern as well? His MBA is from there. After reading this wonderful story about you, I may just have to call you my Georgia Peach! Can't wait to meet the real thing!
Fondly,
Deb~

Re: I Wish -You're a night owl. too (Reply to this comment)
by Moppysl
I'm so glad you read this first. I wondered where you were. I missed you for awhile.
Well, I don't have to get up in the morning at least for two weeks.
You and your family are close like my children and I. I'm glad our paths cross.
