DR. OZ HOSTS A TELEVISION SERIES

His direct but compassionate style is just the television viewing our nation needs. Set your DVR for a series recording. Who knows? The good health advice Dr. Oz dispenses may save or improve your life!

Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett: Baby Boomer Icons

The loss of two Baby Boomer icons on the same day deserves a blog post. These two opposite sides of the mirror likely share something in common. Were they worshipped to death?

Let's take his legal woes and accusations off the table for a moment. There is no denying that a vast majority of we younger baby boomers tap our feet and sing along when "Thriller" or "Billie Jean" plays on the radio. This same majority became a minority when Jackson's life began to unravel - but still his music was our secret guilty pleasure. We all watched Michael Jackson become the original Transformer as his appearance evolved from "pinch your cheeks he's so cute" boy to "The Invisible Man." In the coming days and weeks as this story unfolds, keep his children in your prayers as they no doubt become pawns in a tragic Chess game.

Farrah Fawcett. Here is someone men wanted to be with - while women just wanted to be her. Oh, how I strived for my hair to look just like hers! I maneuved my curling iron into a blonde elongated tootsie roll and then used half a can of hairspray to keep it in position. Farrah was beautiful till the end. After watching "Farrah's Story" documentary, I learned she was just as gorgeous on the inside.

Will these two icons meet up in afterlife? Will Farrah become Michael's Wendy in Neverland?

NORTH TO ALASKA/GLACIER BAY NATIONAL PARK: A New Giveaway!

UPDATE: CONGRATULATIONS TO ms.texas, OUR LATEST WINNER!

If you haven't had the opportunity to visit Alaska yet, this is the optimal time for this spectacular vacation whether by cruise ship or on your own. Alaska is truly God's gift to the world and I can't wait to get back. We've talked about going outside of our comfort zone in Chapter Two Blog. I flew on a float plane during our trip - which is typically not something I'd do! I sucked it up and glad I did. The unparalleled aerial views of expansive glaciers were amazing. Where else could one spot moose, wolves, whales and mountain sheep on the same trip?
To kick off Alaskan cruise/vacation season, I'm giving away "The Love Boat" Season One, Volume One DVD. All you have to do is read an eHow travel article I wrote and view my photos(see link below) about a trip to Glacier Bay. Comment on something you've seen in Alaska or would like to see based on this article: http://www.ehow.com/how_5013518_see-bay-national-park-day.html Extra entry earned for becoming a follower. A third entry for twittering about this contest. One entry per household, 18 yrs. & up. Ends on Wednesday, May 27th at Midnight PST.
Good Luck,

Not a pretty topic: toenail fungus treatment

OK, who in their right mind is going to blog about toenail fungus treatment?

~ Me ~

On a recent Good Morning America segment, Robin Roberts interviewed a podiatrist who said over half of people over 40 have toenail fungus. That fact deserves a mention in this blog dedicated to those of us in "Chapter Two" of our lives.

It led me to research and write two articles on the subject coming from different views. One uses modern technology and the other is homeopathic. So, don't bury your head - er- toes in the sand! We can't "tip toe" around the subject because sandal season has arrived.
