  1. 1. Name one thing you like/liked about your mother, and one thing you dislike/disliked -

    I like that she tried to keep some traditions alive and she put a lot of effort in doing so. She taught me my first chords on the guitar. She came from a musical family and loved music and animals.

    I disliked the Drama attitude and how none of my friends were never good enough. She always thought the worst and I was a good girl. (beleive it or not). We constantly fought verbally.

    2. Name one thing you like/liked about your father, and one thing you dislike/disliked -

    My dad always used to stand up for me. He could listen and realize I had someting really important on my mind. He was working odd hours and was not at home so much. I missed that.

    3. Do you look more like your mother or more like your father?

    I definitely look more like my dad.

    4. Name a trait you inherited from your mother, and one trait you inherited from your father -

    I inherited my mothers voice and love for singing. From my dad I got the weakness for sweets...

    5. Do/Did you get along with your parents?

    Not really. It was a constant fight due to their mistrust. Friends don't always show who you are, and if you don't listen you miss out the important part of the conversation. Eventually my dad listened and understood. It was a good feeling, but it happened very late in life.

    6. Take this quiz - Is Your Family Dysfunctional?

    Your Family Is 42% Dysfunctional family-3.jpgYour family definitely has some problems, but probably nothing that can't be overcome.

    You don't have the greatest past with your family, and bad feelings may arise when everyone's together.

    It may take some individual or group therapy to work everything out. And that means your family has to admit there's a problem.

    If your family isn't ready to change, you may need to give them some distance for a while.


  2. I went to Zambia 2001. It is a VERY beautiful country. I'll never forget that trip.

    In the 70ies I read a book about a small island on the East coast of Sweden, a book said to be a true story. I had to go and went, and everything described in the book was there and the history was true. It is now a National Park and you need permission to go,

    The story was about how pirates made fires on the shores , stormy nights so the ships would go under and the merchandise they brought would be washed up on the shore. Survivors were killed.


  3. 1. How often do you listen to music?

    Every day.

    2. Do you ever listen to the radio? What is your favorite station?

    Only in my car if I don't have anyCD's with me. I love Mark&Brian 99.1 The FOX. in the mornings.

    3. How do you find new songs, albums, or artists to listen to?

    Recommendations, radio, friends, my kids.

    4. When was the last time you bought a CD? A digital music file?

    I bought a CD just the other day. And when I am in LA and go to Virgin Megastore I always come out with a new buy.

    5. Do you think any of the technologies and distribution methods mentioned above will still be around in ten years? Why or why not?

    I do, but they will be refined. digital is here to stay .

  4. Times are different now compared to the 80ies when my kids were born. I would have LOVED to kick them out to walk home when they went too far, but I never dared or had to. The mere threat to do it kept them in one piece until we came home and once there they lost their priveleges for the rest of that day.

    Back in the 50ies ( yes I am that old) it was a piece of cake to walk as far as you wanted. When I was 5 I took the bus alnoe to my granma's house and walked several blocks to get to her. We didn't have all those idiots out there as we do now, at least not in the same numbers, so I think this woman did very, very wrong and she did put her girls in a dangerous situation. However to arrest her was also to go too far in my opinion.


  5. I witnessed a situation in LA recently. A mother and her three daughtres were on their way down the escalator. Before entering the one I was standing at the oldest daughter kicked her younger siste with her knee in the groin. The mother did nothing. The girls argued - the mother went towards the escalator passing me. The she said something to her oldest daughter, the abuser, who snapped " SHUT UP!!" while they disappeared downwards. I was stunned. TO HER MOTHER _ IN PUBLIC _ and the mother didn't do a thing!! The girl could have been 12 -13 at the most and her sisted, the kicked one maybe 10-11. The third little girl who silently witnessed it al may have been 7.

    Where did this older child learn this behavior? Why didn't the mother do anything? It was sad to see how she just let it happen.
