Do you Remember??? A Tribute to Wonderful Sophie Tucker and her Career...

Last night I saw a woman,
who looks much like this star,
 sing a song called,
 "I Live Alone and Like It!
Ok, not only was it funny,
but I thought...maybe a new
 theme song for me at my age???
 What do you think?

A Tribute to a Woman

After my Own Heart...

  2. Sophie Tucker was a Ukrainian-born American singer, comedian, actress, and radio personality. Known for her stentorian delivery of comical and risqué songs, she was one of the most popular entertainers ... Wikipedia
  4. Born: January 13, 1887, Russia
  5. Died: February 9, 1966, New York City, NY
  6. Albums: Origins Of The Red Hot Mama, 1910-1922, Last of the Red Hot Mommas, The Great Sophie Tucker
  7. Awards: Grammy Hall of Fame Award 

My sister, Dee, recently said that I'd never stopped working, even though I retired... Well, here's Sophie in 1960 appearing on Ed Sullivan, just six years before she died... So I still got a long way to go, right?

I've picked out songs that are funny because that's what she's best known for; however, she did have a beautiful voice as well... Ok, maybe my singing has been limited to churcy things, but that counts, for an amateur...

Sophia was apparently quite content at whatever age she was, and washn't concerned about sharing her thoughts on the matter...LOL



You know I've talked about reading so much and not getting much exercise, but Sophie spoke up the real truth... She sure is My Kinda Woman...

She's famous for her Red Hot Mama songs...


Welllll, we all can't be a star...LOL
You sure got That Right, Sophia...




One of These Days is one of my favorites of her songs...
What about you? Ya' Gonna Miss Me Honey?

Sure glad I heard that song last night...I enjoyed putting this together to share with all of you!

Continue the Statement Across the World - This is NOT My President: Not My Beliefs, Not My Values, Not My Voice

  I will not be drawn into debate over this post. I am aware of the arguments of people who disagree with the statements below. I am posting this for all those who may be living in fear in this moment so you know you are not alone. I want to share this piece in solidarity: This is where I stand. The 45/47th President, his power hungry cronies taking positions of authority in his Cabinet and administration, and the majority of Republicans in Congress are a real and active threat to me, my way of life, and all or most of the people I love. Some people are saying that we should give Trump a chance, that we should "work together" with him because he won the election and he is "everyone's president." This is my response: •I will not forget how badly he and so many others treated former President Barack Obama for 8 years and Biden cleaning up his mess...lies about his legitimacy and hatred for his principles and his attempts to work within the system. •I will not ...

Fighting Power... Open Memoir

Recently, I got up, did the routine of feeding my cats first, and then turned on the 10PM news from the previous night. I normally start reading around 5PM most days and, if a book is really good or close to ending, I may continue to read on until I give that latest read a ranking which is sent to GoodReads and Amazon... I was, as so many others were, devastated to learn of more children being killed or hurt at a school... I am, I now admit it, in deep depression during which I can be triggered constantly by outside actions... How can we continue to claim to be a land of the free when children are murdered by those who are allowed to have guns to enter schools and shoot! And the very next report shows a man attacked on the street by ICE, taken to the ground and beaten by at least 4 men! This is not the exact video from that program, but it occurs so frequently that it always shows the exact image--a lone man, or woman, being attacked violently by men wearing masks, sometimes with no id...

What a Difference a Day Makes... Where Is the World Headed? Revival Versus War??? - Open Memoir

  Losing the time from nearly 2 weeks based upon an accidental fall, which requires pain medication to easily read and even sleep left me in shock when I got up, turned on the television and heard that Another bombing had been initiated by the president (and Israel).... against Iran... OMG!  Got up to feed my cats and a song came to mind... What a difference a day makes...24 little hours... And I stopped... What is going on?! One insane man is being allowed to commit destruction all over the world! How and Why has this happened... From what a difference, my mind immediately turned to War! What is it Good For?! Why is day-to-day decisions being made without early discussion and planning. Has the entire Republican Party gone crazy? I want to reach out, try to find somebody to talk to... commiserate on the destruction, the danger of those now serving in the military--especially as Trump announces that there could be some of our men who will be killed.  Even this is crazy. Ho...
