Go Lucinda! (who ever you are...haha!). Check out what she wrote to a columnist at askmen.com (hey, we gotta get into their heads somehow...J/K... or am I... Muhahahahaha!):
Dear Doc Love,

I've checked out several of your articles and I must tell you that I am appalled by what I've read.

You seem to think that any woman who isn't anorexic is not worth the time of day. What's with you? You make fun of Oprah and Rosie O'Donnell for being overweight, and then you praise skinny women with plastic breasts. Did you ever consider that perhaps Rosie and Oprah are the size they are because that's the way nature made them? Why should they starve themselves for men's approval?

here are some facts for you



Many loving, sweet, kind women are overlooked because they don't fit your rigid standards of beauty. I encourage you to check out the following facts and figures:


There are 3 billion women who don't look like supermodels and only a handful who do.
Marilyn Monroe wore a size 14.
If Barbie were a real woman, she'd have to walk on all fours due to her exaggerated proportions.
The average woman weighs 144 lb. and wears between a size 12 and 14.
The models in the magazines are airbrushed -- not perfect!
A psychological study in 1995 found that three minutes spent looking at a fashion magazine caused 70% of women readers to feel depressed, guilty and shameful.
Models twenty years ago weighed 8% less than the average woman. Today they weigh 23% less.
And even though I know that you'll laugh at this, I'm including a little poem for you Doc, as food for thought.

Beauty of a Woman

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears
The figure she carries, or the way she combs her hair
The beauty of a woman must be seen from her eyes
Because that is the doorway to her heart
The place where love lies
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole
But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul

It's really intense! He ought to be ashamed! I hope that other guys aren't as harsh and crass as he is.

It's amazing how a situation can make you so sad, yet so cleansed at the same time. On Mother's Day, My mom, my sister and I visited our Grandma's grave. Everytime I've been there, I cannot shake that feeling I had at her funeral. How I felt like we were leaving her there, and how unfair it was that she had to be taken away from us so abruptly. Her headstone is finally in, which made the visit all too real now. Seeing her name engraved in the marble made it even more emotional. I had to trace over her name and the words with the tips of my fingers to make sure I wasn't dreaming. We all paid our respects privately, and in our own ways. As My mom and sister spent there time alone, I began to walk around. I couldn't help but feel a little guilty reading the markers along the way. I felt like I was invading someome's privacy somehow. Some headstones had photos of those that had passed away on them. They looked so vibrant and happy. Then I read the ages, and I couldn't believe how young some of these people were. It was so emotional. It was as if I could feel what those loved ones felt when they lost this special person in their lives. I could feel their sadness, their anger, their celebration of life. It's amazing how emotions can run hot and cold, and how they can be transfered to others. I guess that's what makes us more real. More human.
