The Story Of Cosmetics

From my "Story of Stuff" lady. I love these videos. But I have to say, twelve products is a low estimation in my opinion. And I suppose we will someday learn that the cause of dementia of my face cream?

The Story of Cosmetics (2010)

Book For This Week - 7/21/10

The Last Song

by

Nicholas Sparks

From the author's web site:
"Seventeen year-old Veronica “Ronnie” Miller’s life was turned upside-down when her parents divorced and her father moved from New York City to Wilmington, North Carolina. Three years later, she remains angry and alienated from her parents, especially her father… until her mother decides it would be in everyone’s best interest if she spent the summer in Wilmington with him. Ronnie’s father, a former concert pianist and teacher, is living a quiet life in the beach town, immersed in creating a work of art that will become the centerpiece of a local church. The tale that unfolds is an unforgettable story about love in its myriad forms – first love, the love between parents and children – that demonstrates, as only a Nicholas Sparks novel can, the many ways that deeply felt relationships can break our hearts… and heal them."

(I finished listening to this on audio on my way to work on Monday.  The book starts out like  a jr high type story and I did not start to enjoy it till about two thirds of the way through it.   The story gets good though and although it has a happy ending,  the time frame just prior to that happy ending is a two hankie event.   All in all I enjoyed the book once I got into it and would recommend it as a good summer read.   As always, click on the title and the author's name to learn more. )

I have only watched the first one of these videos so far but wanted to be able to find them for later viewing.

From My Email Bag Tonight

"Whatever you give a woman, she will make it greater.

 If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby.

If you give her a house, she'll give you a home.

If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal.

If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart.

 She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her.

So, if you give her a bit of crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit."
