Margaret & Helen are BACK

Margaret, your letters have been a source of comfort these past few weeks. I really have not felt like writing until your nephew called me to tell me that lots of people actually read this thing and many of them think that I am dead. Goodness gracious. I had no idea that once I started I couldn’t stop. But if this is my lot in life, I guess things could be worse. It keeps me busy and right now I probably don’t need a lot of time on my hands.

I saw in the news today that one of your radio shows is coming to an end. That Dr. Laura lunatic you like has finally gone one step too far and used the N-word a few too many times… well actually one too many times if you think about it. It’s just not one of those words a crazy white woman should let slip. You’d think she would know that.

Much more at the site. Enjoy!

1. The concept of lot is a way to get people to accept some state.

There is nothing to say that your lot is not to have something one way, then change tomorrow to something else.

The only think 'lot' does is allow someone to defend status quo.

How could anyone go from happy to sad, or sad to happy circumstances if 'lot' was something anyone could speak to. All it does is try to get people to accept something. No other purpose.

4. Have you read their blog? Do you know who they are? Helen is being ironic and using a concept...

... that goes back to her childhood over 80 years ago. I highly recommend going to the link and scanning back until you get to her reflections on George W Bush, a fellow Texan she absolutely despises.

She despises W in quite hilarious fashion. Earlier this year she wrote:

>> We survived Bush. You’ll survive Obama.

>> Margaret, please tell Howard that I love him because he loves you. But that is about all the reaching across the aisle that I can handle. A few years back, millions of people across this nation and across the globe marched for peace. George Bush ignored us and we had to endure his lazy ass being in the White House for eight years.
>>
>> So now a black man named Barack Obama, elected by the will of the people, has decided to fight for the poor, and work for world peace… and a bunch of white guys who think Fox really is News just can’t stand it.
>>
>> Well, they can kiss my ass because I am tired of their belly aching.
>>
>> This is exactly how our political system works. Sometimes your party is in and sometimes it is out. Your party is currently out. So shut the hell up and deal with it. >snip<

You'll love it. To quote her tagline: "I mean it. Really."

10. Lol, you must be very young.

And not yet have encountered something you cannot change just by willing it.

Or else you'd know you can accept a circumstance and still be able to 'go from happy to sad' for other reasons. That indeed, you can be both happy & sad at the same time.

2. They remind me of Molly Ivins.

I'm glad they're back.

5. I am SO glad Helen is back! Texas produces some remarkable women. when you think about it.

She and Margaret have been friends for over 60 years -- I hope that my old bff and I can be as feisty and determined as they are in 20 years.
