Rue
McClanahan,
Another Golden Girl Dies - What a Woman!
OMG!
We have to say goodbye to another wonder
woman. The Golden girls would not have
been the same without Blanche Devereaux.
She epitomized the women growing up during
the sexual revolution. Proud of her ability
to get some and enjoy it. What a terrible
loss for all of us.
Rue
was married 6 times so
she never gave up on relationships. My
heart goes out to her friends and family.
I
am sad to see her pass and hope there are
many more spunky, freedom loving women
who stand for the same things she did.
She
is the only Golden Girl I ever actually
met. It was 1975 at a huge auction in Santa
Monica, CA held by Grand American Fare.
I was the bathroom attendent that day.
Rue
came
in
and said
"Hello"
and thanked me for handing her a towel
and keeping the place clean. With a broad
smile she grabbed my hands and said it
looked to her that I was cut out for bigger
and better things. I never forgot that
look and the warmth of her hands. In those
days, she was barely known.
We
will not forget you Rue. Linda Lee
TRIBUTE
TO BEA ARTHUR
I
think I speak for all of us "Golden
Girls" who loved Bea (aka Maude, Dorothy)
like a family member. What a classy, wonderful
woman she was, the epitomy of a strong
woman with a great fertile mind, and opinions
that she was never afraid to express.
Thank
you for the laughter. Women all over the
world love you Bea! You taught us alot
about ourselves through your craft. Rest
in peace.

This
is a tell-it-like-it-is Web Blog. It
is not about facts as much as feelings.
It is about the real World we live
in, verses, the bogus information the
US Government and the mass media put
out there for our consumption.
This
is what a mad-as-hell menopausal woman
feels and thinks about her world, her
life, and her condition.
Have
you ever had a hot flash? If not, just
imagine having a steam bath inside
a sponge diver's suit, 200 feet down
and the sharks are circling - that
is what a Hot Flash feels like to me!
Some
women have a few dozen or so flashes
a day. They amplify everything. "Discomfort" is
the understatement of the year. Torture
is a better description.
If
you are 40 something peri-menopause is
probably setting in. 50 somethings are
probably the hottest most of the time,
and many like me in our 60's still have
them all the time. I have met women in
their 70's who still get hot flashes.
My
neighbor is 94 years old. One day she
told me her sister who is 97 still gets
flashes! Oh my, look what we have to
look forward to!

Dixie
Carter, Another Great Spunky Woman Passes
 I
love a woman who speaks her mind. Dixie
Carter did that best! This woman could
do it with finesse and jaw-dropping certainty.
How
very sad to hear that Dixie passed away
at 70 years old. She was my favorite “Designing
Woman”, the one I envied for her
wit and sharp tongue. She filled my mind
with ideas. Oh, I would think, I wish
I could have said that exactly that way
when this or that happened to me. It
was all in her uniquely eloquent and
exquisitely perfect delivery. Her spirit
will always live in me and millions of
women who loved her. She was a great
actress but the talent she had was not “pretend”,
it was obviously innate.
My
heart goes out to Dixie’s family
who were certainly privileged to have
been given prime time with such a beautiful,
smart woman.
I
certainly did not intend for Hot Flash
Commentary to be about women who have
passed on, but I feel that these women
in particular were “public speakers” for
all of us. I hope that young women growing
up and aging in today’s world have
at least half of the spirit and gumption
that Dixie Carter had.
There
was another fabulous woman who had her
spunk and also left us last year; Bea
Arthur. I hope that Dixie and Bea meet
up in whatever spiritual hereafter they
believed in and shake up the world below
a bit. We need the spiritual assistance
of those two women to help us get together
and straighten out the destructive status
quo in Washington.
Please remember Dixie and Bea. Draw off their strength, talent
and wits and that of other women with those characteristics.
If the women in this country can get together, we will be
a force to be reckoned with!
