About Me
- Leslie:
- Delta, British Columbia, Canada
- I took very early retirement from teaching in '06 and did some traveling in Europe and the UK before settling down to do some private tutoring. As a voracious reader, I have many books waiting in line for me to read. Tell me I shouldn't read something, and I will. I'm a happy, optimistic person and I love to travel and through that believe that life can be a continuous learning experience. I'm looking forward to traveling more some day. I enjoy walking, cycling, water aerobics & and sports like tennis, volleyball, and fastpitch/baseball. I'm just getting into photography as a hobby and I'm enjoying learning all the bits and bobs of my digital camera. My family is everything to me and I'm delighted to be the mother of two girls and the Gramma of a boy and a girl. I may be a Gramma, but I'm at heart just a girl who wants to have fun.

Manhattan Beach Meet and Greet
Hi everyone! I'd love some input about the LA (and Chicago) meet & greets. Who is thinking about going and who is definitely going? Do you think we go to BOTH nights or just one? What are you planning to wear? What else could we do while in the area (e.g. during the day/s)? Feel free to put in comments, questions, suggestions, etc. Thanks.

desertflowers I was just reading Clickgirl's site where you and Linda were thinking about driving. Why don't you? I've answered CJ's offer of sharing a room, but will just have to wait until I get an okay from my principal. Not telling her what I'm doing, just an offer of a weekend in LA. So as soon as I can get an answer from her, I'll let CJ (and everyone else) if I can come. It would take a big chunk out of my "cruise" savings, but it may be worth it to meet so many others from the "blog" and see the competition.
I really don't think he's making this thing an "open" invitation to "anyone" but merely the "applicants" and newsletter ladies. He said a long time ago that most of the newsletter ladies aren't even applying, just watching from the sidelines.
Since you've already sent in your video, you might even get your 3 minutes with him and be able to give us your thoughts.
My daughter still hasn't got my video put on tape yet but is going to get her father-in-law to help her one night next week. I hesitate to hurry her up because she works full time and has her husband and baby to deal with. But, the minute it's in my hands, I'm going to the post office and sending it registered overnight whatever to get there fast. I want my 3 minutes, too. I might ust then figure "the heck with all this, let's go girls!" :D
I asked CJ & will ask you - do you think we just go to one evening or the other, or both nights?
Hi Y'all,
Leslie....ya just tell the principal that 12 of your closest sisters are suffering from a very rare and severe form of scrollitis coupled with a highly contagious and sometimes fatal Blog Fever which can affect the brian!!
Now desertflower dahling....I came knocking too, nobody home.......
Must be everyone is out on hot dates..smart move girls!!
I must say that I like your male friend ALOT, that is exaclty what I thought the minute I read RR's blog........let's see:
pay to go,
pay to stay,
pay to eat,
pay to return.....hmmmmm!
sounds like a win/lose proposition to me. Bottom line EVERYONE has an agenda!EVERYONE! It is simply a matter of transparency..or not!
Plus I don't think you are reading him wrong, I find him both rude and condescending.
Plus..........I still don't get the weiner thing!!?? I must be the biggest moron alive...if you were really a nice sister you would explain the darn thing to me!! I never felt the term: "not the sharpest knife in the drawer" applied to moi.......wrong!!
Plus one more thing.........thanks for the Oil of Olay suggestion, do ya think it would help....I dunno! Perhaps a total makeover: full face and body lift, major dermabrassion, and total replacement is in order! I am shocked that RR didn't send me a personal invite what with my adorable MOM mush!! I don't bite!
Cheers a demain!

Hi Itchyfeet
Not to answer for Leslie - but I think you misunderstood. She was referring to her Match.com site - when she referred to the age thing. Isn't that correct, Leslie?
Hey Leslie
I posted to everyone over on Suzanne/DesertFlowers site. Like your new look here! And ... The Bra!! Love it! : )
Oh - and I'm going to sign up on Match.com again too. You and Linda have inspired me. :) I'm on eHarmony - but I'm not crazy about it. I keep getting strange match-ups. :O
Talk at ya' Later ...
Brenda
Click Girl
To itchyfeet yes, as Brenda mentioned, I said I was 47 on Match.com but I told RR my true age which is 57. I would never lie to someone I was actually going to meet and if I meet someone from Match.com (unlikely) I'll just say there was a mistake made. No big deal - I just wondered if I might get more responses if I "were" under 50. An experiment, so to speak.
Hi Leslie
I think that experiment is a good idea. I will be interested in hearing the results! : ) I just did my profile on Match (ClickGirl2005) ... but it is really rough! I just threw it together - and the statement ended up being one big paragraph - though I had spaced for paragraphs. Don't know why that happened - as it makes it hard to read. But I noticed some of the guys had paragraphs - so ... I'll have to go back and fix that - when I have time to think it through a little bit more. Anyway - I did notice that the guys that I thought were interesting - were looking for women 50 and under. : (
I tried to use Linda's approach - and be more specific about what I was looking for (or not) - but I already had one guy write ... and some of them just don't get it - do they? Oh well. We'll see how it goes. : )
Take care. Have a good one!

Hey Leslie and everyone
Thanks for allowing me in anonymously ;). Agree with pretty much all the adjectives used here re this post. I haven't seen the film but didn't know it was paid for by others. I have no problem with people getting sponsors for stuff but like them to be upfront about it.
I don't think RR is going to choose anyone. I think the O show is going to do the choosing. Therefore, I don't think he's looking for love and I think that whoever travels with him is going to have a camera stuck in her face (and elsewhere ;)) for the duration. Also bear in mind that editing will occur after that and Buddha himself might only have an idea of what one might come out looking and sounding like *LOL*. Psychotic springs to mind!! My oh my .. haven't the rules/aspirations changed.
Why would one have to bring a copy of their bio to THE BBQ. What is the purpose of that. My guess is that someone will be filming it. Hey Suzanne, you're a PI ... looks like you're back in business with this job *LOL*.
I'm definitely not flying to LA for this. Something else on anyway.. but will be dying to hear from any of my pals as to what happened. My only worry is that you'll all be smitten and be sworn to secrecy ;)
Ciao ...... Phyl
