I agree with Sean about Marianne, she was practical , Ginger was high maintanence.
Sophie Loren - just had class and personality and carried herself well. The good looks and accent were just part of the total - not the whole person.
Preferred Ann Margeret over Raquel Welch.
Rachel Ward , Helen Hunt, Holly Hunter are others that I like in regard to being "themselves" and not plastic.
I rarely see TV, I never replaced my '79 Sony 13" when I dropped it some time ago. I mostly used it to watch a old movie, or some school related video. Last movie I went to see was " Collateral". So I have no idea who some of these folks are today , much less the women folk everyone makes over.
I was married once to a lady that I thought very highly of. Smart, articulate, attractive, sense of humor, resourslful and all the other qualities I like. Such is life, it happens.
I don't worry about TV, movies, hot babes, and such. I have no idea about the tall brunette with hazel eyes at the Laz-Boy place, we got along fine. My business was getting a chair [ Ez-Lift] to ease some health needs for mom. She asked if she could call me, even commente about me being older than she....not gonna worry about it one way or another. I don't need anyone or anything to be centered. I refuse to be put on a pedastle ( like I have to worry about that) or to ever put another on a pedastal. I did put my ex on one and it hurts like hell when the pedastle gives way.
Gimme a pickup truck, a dog and some quail to tend to. Unconditional expectations , satifaction, serentiy results.
I spoke to either Tamara or Chris's wife last. Last ladies I spoke with via phone. Never met them in person, but the genuine sincerity of a great person was there.
The good looking young lady I dealt with face to face this morning taking care of some business was plastic, hollow,rude,and dumb as a brick.
Great to be 50 , and not give a damn either way about some stuff anymore. Could not pay me to be in my twenties again.
Sad some folks know more and spend more attention on Reality shows that Gov't Meddlin'
