Thank you for the generous words as Barbara Amiel responded to me in her letter acknowledging me falling all over her decades ago, as I had watched her debating the sea hag herself, betty friedan. I had turned on the tube to catch a glimpse of current events and tuned in to see this hag yelling at a demure, poised, intelligent and classy gal who I quickly became interested in.

Barbara easily deflected the vapid arguments the sea hag threw at her but it appeared as having much less success with spittle that crossed the gap between them when the hag used specific syllable combinations.

Here was my first proof of how liberalism turned one jewish woman into an ugly insane witch while the other Jewish woman was a sight of sublimity indeed to behold.

I just had to write her and tell her what an absolute doll she was and focus on her intelligence and inner/outer sublimity.
I think at the time she was married to George Jonas, a good man and Conservative. I did not expect a response but an sure I still have that letter from her. For sure, she well knew I was besotted with her and it felt good to say so.

She accepted the accolades with class, as a fine woman knows how to do, I think that was the first time I really fell in love at first sight, the second was when I laid my eyes on a new 1970 Triumph Bonneville 650 cc that I bought for $1368 dollars including tax. Once again I fell in love with a 1968 Corvette 427 cubes 435 hP and I bought that as well.

I thought for a MOMENT that I might be able to buy Barbara to put on my mantel to look at but thoughts of the Hungarian she was married to squelched that, I am not often tired of living to entertain such dreams.

I was once told by a class gal named Madison who had no designs on me, but who affectionately warned me that I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve and thus expose myself to hurt. That has not happened to me yet and inversely, has tended to draw the opposite gender close to me. I would not be that way with liberal ditzes but Conservative women tend to cherish honesty.

I see you are not afraid to openly tell it like it is and I am of the same mindset. I am that way towards the fairer gender and my rewards have bewen hugs and the odd kiss from women who like being told who and what they are to their face.
I do not know what or why, but they can differentiate between lines and truth, and tend to interpret my words of appreciation as truth intended to encourage and lift their spirits. Perhaps that is why Barbara responded as she did to me and was not put off.

ahhhh, again I say what a beautiful creation is the opposite gender, would that they were all Conservative.

If you are out there Barbara, I still love and cherish you and expect I always will though I am having a bit of a problem trusting your gender after what I have experienced. I regret the injustice your husband is suffering and the hurt you feel.
Like all Conservative women you deserve to be loved, cherished, and respected. For some reason, Jewish women who are real Jews come across as real gems, masterpieces of creation.

Nuff said. I can say no more without getting myself into trouble. :-k :D

Edward, I have always worn my heart on my sleeve- I don’t know any other way to be.

For whatever reasons two of the best women I ever knew in life chose to walk with me until they could go no further.

There was a time after Emily died when I was as far down as a human being can be without being dead.

I never spoke directly of it here in my writings although a little bit of the agony may have bled through- I sat in one of those “silence of my soul” moments- those times when you see yourself not as others perceive you but as you really are. Bare naked soul exposed...

I was hurting and grieving and missing Emily as badly as I ever missed another person in my life.

But you know what? As much as I missed her- and that, you can read in my writings- I missed the relationship. The friendship. The give & the take. I'd say “the marriage” but that is just a construct of society-- what matters is the bond, between “the you” and “the her.”

And in that dark deep silent moment I told myself, “You'll never have that again- you're old & poor- you have less than you had, you have not a thing another woman would be attracted to anymore...”

And then I slapped my Sef' up side of the head and said,

“Listen, dummy. All you had when Helen married you was yourself. And when Emily married you, you were a millionaire- on paper. And it was all tied up in court and translated in to what? Ten cents on the dollar when you got it free and turned it in to real money?”

“None of that mattered to them. Maybe they just liked the way you looked or smelled or carried yourself, but for whatever reason both of them ditched three other rivals and picked you.”

“And they went the distance. If you did it twice and if you really want to go that way again?
You can do it again.”

I thought on that a while.

Neither one of them were perfect by any means- I called them “Angels with Dirty Faces,” and that, they were- but still, I've known no better persons.

And some of that dark silence lifted- I realized that whatever I had or lacked now if I wanted to find another, I could. Just by being what those two Angels with dirty faces liked.
Being myself..

...and we all know who and what we are, even if others do not, that is our strength, or our misery, depending on what our conscience tells us, good or bad. I would expect you to be happy with your own report. :D

Let's kick this thing again- come on, people-- you don't want me to resort to posting stale jokes, doggerel, catterel and other inanities to keep this thing moving, do you?

Freedom is a commodity that few treasure until it is lost. Fewer still choose to sacrifice, a fact clearly seen by the waste of money on insignificant things like booze, spectator sports, and boy toys.

The value of freedom in a nation is an indicator of the quality of people.

Betraying freedom is betraying all that is good, but more directly, it is a betrayal of oneself. Easy is the start of a battle, but the separation of the sheep from the goats comes when there but remain the die hard warriors, refusing to abandon the battle to the "dark" side.


Nuff said.

Freedom always has a cost and this is one of them. It is well worth the price.
