Split my time between USA, UK and Greece. Adore my somewhat nutso Greek cat who travels with me. Enjoy movies; Oriental, Indian, Italian, and Greek food, and flower arranging. Think Amy Winehouse is fab, Rehab amazing song...fave movie Jodhaa...enjoy writing books on health and seeing and teaching clients worldwide. Don't like animal cruelty or exploitation. Think racism and religious intolerance must end, genetic testing proves we all have the 'original Adam and Eve' genes, so we are just one family really!

  • what is wrong with Yahoo?

    What is wrong with Yahoo, it only gets worse by the years. Now I am signed it, it shows I am 'in' and every 5 da*mn minutes it asks me to sign in again, but i am still signed in, then it rejects my correct password, by closing this that and other stuff--i am still signed in--i do my emails without putting in my p-word!...blazing insanity.

    then they have changed the whole emails formats. where is the font size choice for 18? now it ranges small to xLarge? why do i have to have an email page background like a lake i cannot SEE through, or an ugly pale gray one if i want to see anything at all.

    where did the lovely stationary choices go?

    why are the colors for text now so few, so dark, as well as highlights, there used to be light pastel choices, like pale green, peach, pink or lavender. now they are so DARK they blot out words?

    my contacts list cannot be made alphabetical anymore, it starts with B names, then E, then hops to M, then to A etc.: all over the place.

    It used to be so nice to write emails, now it is just a buggered mess, that is annoying, slow, no pretty stationary, a lot of the emoticons are gone, like a rose i used to pick.... down the left side it used to have an ASK on the menu choice list of where to go list. GONE.

    who is constantly changing everything? with no warnings at all. IF IT AINT BROKE, DO NOT MESS WITH IT!!!!

    AND there is NO way to change it back to what it WAS!!!

    ALL of these changes, and more, SUCK.

  • Olympics without Commentators?

    The irritating NBC TV Olympic coverage is awful. Any chance their commentators and interviewers could Mute themselves? I sure do! the coverage is great in silence, just wonderful hardworking athletes doing their best.

    no inane comments like "how did you feel when you lost?" ..or.. "why did you lose, why didn't you swim faster?" Yes, silence is Golden, or Silver, or Bronze, or even 4th or 6th. Um how about interviewing foreign country winners? How about actually announcing which country came FIRST, before you all launch into "Team USA gets the Silver!!" Hellooo NBC! There is a WORLD, our world, of athletes at the London Games, how about some EVEN unbiased reporting? How about stopping the babbled babble that you 'know' what an athlete is thinking while doing a routine!!? How about leaving out opinions on who couldn't possibly take the Gold before an event even begins? How about leaving the losers alone, they are already sad and devastated, and yes they did their human best? What insensitive pomposity. Get off your fat opinionated butt and try the bars yourself.

    YES my MUTE button is ON most of the time, because every time I turn it off, hoping...I get the same old drivel. NEXT time could some other network please cover the Olympics, and mostly in silence????

  • How can NBC TV be this bad?

    The NBC coverage of the Olympics--at least in LAX is BAD as far as I am concerned. Myopic coverage. "Team USA, Team USA" is all we hear. We don't see shots of other athletes winning, or getting their medals or interviewed--let's run off and talk to the USA team member who lost or didn't even place. Pathetic. Point: USA volley ball vs Argentina, the announcer says "we don't know anything about the Argentina women..." -- Well WHY not? Because you were too darn lazy to act like real reporters and research their lives???? NBC is rude, no grace, refusing to report on many many events, it is one sided to the point of ad nauseam. What about all the judo events, many OTHER nation flag carriers are in judo events? How are athletes from Russia, China, Bahamas, Japan, Arabia, GB, Pakistan, India, Germany, Brazil, Greece, Bermuda, France, Spain ETC ETC ETC doing? Archery? Shooting? What else are we NOT seeing in Los Angeles?? It is day 2 and already I am ready to barf due to this boring, annoying incomplete coverage. Archery? Shooting? Puke.

  • ABUSED WOMAN SEEKS PROTECTION?

    First, this is no joke, I am desperate. My husband is a violent abuser, it used to be physical, now he threatens, is verbally abusive 24/7. According to studies constant verbal, mental emotional abuse is worse than physical. He is a "multiple", manic depressive, refuses Rx, self medicates with Dexedrine and smoke, when he comes down is meaner. His 3 Drs, 1 a shrink, are no help, refuse to help me in fact. He has a DV record in HI. I went to the LAX cops, they told me he can scream verbal abuse 24/7 and unless he hits me, they can do nothing. I called the abuse hot line to confirm this.

    He is 79 and a violent Godzilla, I am 59. So, I live in a state of constant PTSD from abuse. I am very ill fighting thyroid cancer again [gone to other body parts], weak from diverticulitis, gastroparesis, diarrhea, have uncontrolled diabetes type 1.5 LADA, my chronic leukaemia may be back leg bones hurt, lymph nodes are all swollen, my spine was injured 17 May when I had a colon & endo scope by my HMO, i can stand for only 5 mins to cook my meals, barely walk, am on morphine for the injury. 1 of his Dr said the stress is so bad it caused 75% of my hair to fall out in 2010--no i am not menopausal. My liver has 4 masses, the pain is terrible, it is swollen to 3x normal. I have Dupuytren's disease from diabetes damage in both hands and doing anything is very hard, holding anything like a knife to chop food is nigh impossible, i wear braces and tape my thumbs daily.

    I am too ill to work since 2004, can't get SS Disability as he & his accountant--behind my back--didn't pay my SS for 10 years when i had income from a book i wrote, + client consulting, they reported it as HIS income not mine; discovered this in 2005 when i went to apply, they have not made it up to date, I have no money to do so and come from a foreign country with no taxes, so it's hard for me to understand. he is a cruel narcissistic sociopath with 3+ personalities [diagnosed]. I am a foreign born wife according to Immigration he cant treat me this way. my immigration lawyer one of LA's top ones, his friend, has refused to help me. He also has early dementia (scan) which makes him violent and forgetful, so he loses the house phones and screams at me to "find them you fu*&iNg B**t%h!"... he forgets I have told him something, so I get more vile verbal ranting raging abuse, when he argues i "never told" him. he leaves the kitchen and bathroom in a filthy disgusting mess which i have to clean, several times a day. with stomach damage I must make special tiny meals of foods he is not meant to eat; he's on another diet. he eats his that i have made--all organic from scratch--then eats mine to be mean, leaving me nothing, his shrink has told him not to do this; so i get in the car, using a cane, go to a grocery shop, late at night for food to eat, or Panda till 10pm as their noodles and chicken i can eat. Sometimes my pain is so bad I do not get to sleep till 5AM, knowing this, he wakes me up as he "cant find" something, or he just screams and snarls as he is in a bad mood, she's been annoyed on the phone, he is on a downer from Dexedrine and smoke, whatever, so he takes his raging out on me instead of the one who annoyed him. his ex wife has bothered us for years, she is his best friend, he is paranoid i will try to break that up, so he screams about that, based on his paranoid suspicions and "feelings" that I have said something, which i have not as i can't stand her backstabbing me, and want nothing to do with her. I have fevers so I turn the A/C on in the living room where I sleep, he turns it off and opens the front door so all the cold air goes out. i have to crawl out of bed, close the door, turn A/C back on. He turns off the light behind me I am seeing by. He turns the light on to annoy me if i am asleep. Yesterday, he gave me a "surprise present". it was a MacBookPro, i was dumbfounded at its beautiful silver shape, said "wow", after days of constant abuse this was really confusing. THEN he gives me his evil satisfied gas-lighting look, and says "yes it is much lighter than mine, it'll be easier for ME to carry around. you can have my old one". you have to understand my computer is about to die (Apple confirmed), and so is his current one, he referred to as his "old one. get the picture on mental cruelty as a blood sport?!? ALL of the above is the TIP of the iceberg. Relatives all dead. No $, nowhere to flee with my cat.

    SO, seeing as LA's Finest won't help protect me from being driven to the edge of sanity and worse health, their abuse team wont talk to him; nor will his doctors, nor the lawyer or any of his pals whom I have already begged for help via his upstanding "Men's Group", I would like to appeal to a nice Crime Boss to protect me. Just send some gorgeous man with 23" biceps to say, "Mr. Husband

Millions of people are out of work, broke, losing houses, unemployment cheques have run out, medical is being cut, the Rx companies and HMOs price gouge same drug here is $70 a month and $4 in Europe, people are committing suicide when they can no longer hold on and it is apparent that Oprah lives in a very big unreal reality: her own.

    "O" promotes a $1490 evening dress with $795 shoes! Cotton shirt $365, silk vest $385, horn cuff bracelet $4,000, wedges $825! Sautéed shrimp recipe, thousands of people can't even afford the basic food groups!
