Queen Latifah & Jenny Craig

Queen Latifah the one and only

We have been fans of Queen Latifah for a long time… and I can tell you that we were all pleased to see her take this big step into a healthier life.

See her commercial  HERE!

Hey, I think she’ll still have her curves… but in a lot heathier body!

Good Luck!

Travel Deals Are Always Around!

When they are not worknig they are traveling or traveling and worknig!
One of the things I have enjoyed about my adult children is their interest in seeing the world and meeting its people. Certainly, their travels have only just begun… but the three of them have been covering the continents and now their explorations have taken more personal interests.

One of the things I have enjoyed is helping them find great travel deals. Deals that don’t involve sleeping in a luggage compartment or stowing away on a coffee boat. Why pay $4500 to travel to Beijing from Tennessee when you can pay $1000 on Cathay Pacific or for the same price go from Los Angeles to Australia on Qantas? Obviously, rates change and there is a big asterisk as to when you have to take these trips… but it is worth it!

British Airways has remarkable deals to England right now from almost anywhere in the United States — and once there — it is a great jumping off place to the rest of the world!

So the dollar may be soft… but the great airline fares more than make up for it! So, tell me… what’s holding you back?

Cook like a Pirate!

avast! thar be scoundrals & pirates be here!
Ah… you’ll have to wait for the Crab Quiche recipe… but we be having some secret ingredients in thar spices!

Being on Jenny Craig, has me longing for the weekends when I get to really cook… and for some reason, a Crab Quiche sounds like it will hit the spot. No rum, but a nice bottle of a sweet South African Klein Constantia “Vin de Constance 2001” might go well.
Weekends are made for cooking!

Cancer & other ‘comedies’

Quotes are a wonderful way of not having to reinvent the wheel…

” Tragedy is when I cut my finger, comedy is when you walk into sewer and die.” -Mel Brooks ( as related by Jerry Bunin)

zLeroy SieversAll of us tend to be preoccupied about things that affect our lives and we –hopefully — have a few folks on the planet that we care about nearly as much… and maybe, a bit more. However, the reality is that we never really know what the other person is going through until we ourselves are faced with similar serious issues. In fact, some people have a real difficult time putting themselves in another person’s ‘moccasins’ even in simplest things… we call this inability… lack of empathy.

I don’t believe in ‘sympathy’ which you can find in the dictionary somewhere between SH*T and SYPHILLUS, but empathy is much more. Empathy is genuine.
But for many of us, seeing what others face provides understanding and courage … for ourselves in the issues we deal with today and down the road.

I have blogged about this before… but this site — for as long as it continues — it is well worth the look. LEROY SIEVERS
