5 Romanian Ways to Lose Weight

I agree with you, the fact that we're all so different from each other -- in ways small and big -- makes life so very interesting. Where would we be if we had recipes for everything from the start?

5 Romanian Ways to Lose Weight

Mira, Your presentation of Romanian styles of dieting is interesting, and I appreciate your input about your experiences with dieting. Cabbage is reputed to be a natural laxative so I understand designing a diet around it. I eat cabbage because ...

Review of the Disease Free Book from Reader's Digest

Merrily Yours: Shirley Temple, Thelma Hill, Junior Coghlan, Mary Blackford in the 1933 Comedy Short

Mira, Me, too, I agree that it's tragic that Mary Blackford's career was so brief and that she died so young. Also, Shirley Temple does look so little! She was filled with talent, as was everyone in this series of shorts about the Rogers family.
