Welcome to Pam’s Page on Lucy Wightman’s Blog. I’m back!
Status 2
Tuesday, August 5, 2008 at 09:22PM I credit Lucy for this idea. While blog reading one day, I noted the section titled “Status.” It got me thinking that I haven’t seen much of my fellow bloggers in quite a while. I miss you! All of you!
My fellow bloggers have come to be a source of comfort, of inspiration, of course drama, and in some cases friendship. The blog is a place I turn to when I need to get my mind off of the stress of everyday life, take a little break from the “real world,” and find my little safe haven. It sometimes helps me to refocus my energy and my thoughts.
Last year there was quite a bit of “blog drama,” some of it missed, some not. All in all, the people here have contributed to this diary in some way, and make it a place I like to belong to.
I would love to get a complete Status check on everyone. Seeing as Lucy now gets thousands of hits every day and week, let’s hear from you! Where are you John A, Tricia, Kareena, Christos, Al, SHIRLEY, Peter, Messenger of Bean, INKY INKY INKY, Heather, Christine, Holly, Chris, Sue, Joanne….should I look up more names because I think in my very tired state I am forgetting people?
Whomever and wherever you are, please start posting here! I would love to hear about how everyone’s summer is going, if anyone is traveling, what everyone is doing….take a little space here to “shoot the breeze”….and I will share as well.
I look forward to your commentary.
A Beautiful Poem...
Monday, July 14, 2008 at 11:23PM BEST POEM EVER
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .
enough
money within her control to move out
and rent a place of her own,
even if she never wants to or needs to…
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .
something
perfect to wear if the employer,
or date of her dreams
wants to see her in an hour…
A WOMAN SHOULD
HAVE .
a youth she’s content to leave behind….
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .
a past juicy
enough that she’s looking forward to
retelling it in her
old age….
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .
a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra…
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .
one friend who
always makes her laugh.. and one who lets her cry…
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .
a good piece
of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her
family…
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .
eight
matching plates, wine glasses with stems,
and a recipe for
a meal,
that will make her guests feel honored…
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE
a feeling of
control over her destiny..
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD
KNOW…
how to fall in love without losing herself..
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
how to quit
a job,
break up with a lover,
and confront a friend
without;
ruining the friendship…
EVERY WOMAN
SHOULD KNOW…
when to try harder… and WHEN TO WALK
AWAY…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
that she can’t change the length of her calves,
the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents..
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
that her
childhood may not have been perfect…but it’s over…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
what she
would and wouldn’t do for love or more…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW….
how to live
alone… even if she doesn’t like it…
EVERY
WOMAN SHOULD KNOW..
whom she can trust,
whom she can’t,
and why she shouldn’t take it personally…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
where to
go…
be it to her best friend’s kitchen table..
or a
charming Inn in the woods….
when her soul needs
soothing…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW..
What she can and can’t accomplish in a day…
a
month…and a year…

He spent several summers as “The Tie-Dye Guy,” making tie-dye T-shirts and selling them in Boston.

Am I Really That Far Off Base.....?
Monday, July 7, 2008 at 09:04PM CENTRAL ISLIP, New York (AP) — A $300,000 payoff to a teenage mistress. Thousands of dollars worth of online porn. Extramarital trysts in the office and his supermodel wife’s Hamptons homes.
Details of Christie Brinkley and Peter Cook’s marriage are being revealed during their divorce proceedings.
Sensational testimony about Christie Brinkley’s estranged husband opened their divorce trial Wednesday, giving the public a salacious peek into the former Sports Illustrated swimsuit model’s fourth marriage.
The husband, architect Peter Cook, testified that he and Brinkley used pornography “to get the mood going.” Alexa Ray Joel, Brinkley’s daughter with “Piano Man” Billy Joel, said Cook once shoved her head into a bucket of water.
And Diana Bianchi, the young woman whose affair with Cook set off a tabloid frenzy and ended the couple’s marriage, testified that he hid cash for her under a rock and gave her $15,000 to help her buy a Nissan Maxima in 2005.
“That is the man who’s come before this court and asked for custody of his 13-year-old son and 10-year-old daughter,” said Brinkley’s lawyer, Robert Stephan Cohen.
Brinkley, 54, and Cook, 49, wed in 1996. She filed for divorce a decade later, after his affair with Bianchi exploded into public view.
“There is no way to make that right,” said Cook’s lawyer, Norman Sheresky. “Peter has apologized. He’s cried his eyes out. He’s lost his marriage.”
Cook and Brinkley are mainly disputing custody of the children. Her ownership of her $30 million home is not being contested because the couple had a prenuptial agreement. They are also arguing over property that includes three boats.
Hooking Up With The Joneses
Thursday, June 26, 2008 at 10:59AM If you believe the cocktail chatter, swinging is alive and very well in Cohasset, Needham, Marblehead, and everywhere in between. Suburban legend? Or are your neighbors, and their neighbors, really getting it on? Pagan Kennedy went to find out for herself. |
- Illustration by Juliette Borda.
I’ll call her “Ann,” because I can’t give her real name. Nor can I disclose her town, though I can tell you she and her husband live with their kids in a mini-mansion not far outside Boston. Ever since high school, Ann had fantasized about cavorting in a bed full of men and women. Eventually, she worked up the nerve to tell her husband, Paul, who admitted that he, too, hankered for group sex. But neither planned to actually act on the urge. The one time they dared peruse the advertisements at the back of some dirty magazines, about a decade ago, they were scared off because the people seemed creepy. Anyway, the life they’d built in the suburbs seemed inextricably linked with monogamy, the way a cashmere sweater matches a Burberry jacket.

Trolls
Friday, June 13, 2008 at 09:48PM I believe there are some trolls on Lucy’s blog.
I believe some of those trolls to be former posters.
I believe that these trolls are either posting under different names, or just check the blog every day and not post at all. Rather, spying!!!
Aren’t we all trolls at times, however? I have been accused of such, which is fine. I have always felt that if a person wishes to remain anonymous, then they have that right. None of us really know each other, do we? Our common connection is Lucy. Do we owe each other personal details about our respective lives, just because we all happen to come together on this blog? Please share your thoughts….
Dry Socket
Friday, June 13, 2008 at 09:41PM Is: The most common complication of an extraction. It develops in about 5% of tooth extractions. It is a VERY Painful condition.
It occurs in any socket in which a patient is having pain due to the loss of the blot clot thus exposing the bone to air, food, and fluids along with an offensive odor. This condition exists when a blood clot is dislodged from the surgery site thus exposing the bone and fine nerve endings. Dry socket also delays the healing process.
Has anyone ever had a dry socket??
For the Technically Challenged...
Thursday, May 8, 2008 at 08:53PM Please be patient while my technical husband and I try to resolve the issues with uploading here. The princess says I have editor privileges, however, I’m not quite sure. I’ve got stuff to view! It’s just taking a little time!
Meanwhile…let’s open up here for a quick hello to all of my blogger friends out there….say anything you want, it’s an open forum!
A Good Dog
Monday, March 3, 2008 at 08:30PM A woman was leaving a convenience store with her morning coffee When she noticed a most unusual funeral procession approaching the nearby cemetary.
A long black hearse was followed by a second long black hearse about 50 feet behind the first one.
Behind the second hearse was a solitary woman walking a pit bull on a leash.
Behind her, a short distance back, were about 200 women walking single file.
The woman couldn’t stand her curiosity. She respectfully approached the woman walking the dog and said, “I am sorry for your loss….I know now is a bad time to disturb you, but I’ve never seen a funeral like this. Whose funeral is it?”
“My husband’s.”
“What happened to him?”
The woman replied, ! “My dog attacked and killed him.”
She inquired further, “Well, who is in the second hearse?”
The woman answered, “My mother-in-law. She was trying to help my husband when the dog turned on her.”
A poignant and thoughtful moment of silence passed between the two women.
“Can I borrow the dog?”
“Get in line.”
A Woman’s Prayer
Dear Lord, I pray for:
Wisdom, to understand a man.
Love, to forgive him and;
Patience, for his moods.
Because Lord, if I pray for Strength,
I’ll just beat him to death.
So Beastly Follow Up
Wednesday, September 5, 2007 at 07:15AM Maybe sometimes you just don’t know where you are going to find it, attraction, compatability, and passion…it just turns up in some unexpected places, when you least expect it, with an unexpected person….
So Beastly
Saturday, September 1, 2007 at 10:52PM We both know in advance that she is not attracted to this guy, as nice as he is. She has turned down many dates based on
looks alone. Yes, superficial, but honest. He is obviously attracted to her. So
why go out with him at all?
