IDLE THOUGHTS

Another reason to live!  Now they’ve discovered that eating dark chocolate every day for ten years can reduce my risk of heart attack and stroke.  Rushing out to the shop right now.

Being a grandmother for me is the most powerful relationship I've ever known.  My own grandmother never even spoke to me.  Maybe it was because she didn’t speak English, but I think there was more to it.  I wonder what she would have said had she been able?

I think Europe needs to become one country.  If they want to have one currency I think they’ve got to get one government.  A United States of Europe, so to speak.  Things need to be more smoothed out if it’s going to work.  Can’t imagine it but I think it’s necessary.

The French call themselves Socialist, the word Americans fear more than war.  But what is it we have in this country because we are not Socialist that the French can’t have because they are Socialist?

They are free, they live well, they have benefits, they can work, start a company, spend money.  What’s the problem? I think in Europe, international policy is more important than in the USA.
