Are you a ball of hot gas?  Burn bright!
A star is a hot ball of gas, which burns for millions of years.  A star is born in a “stellar nursery” where gases and dust particles are drawn together though the forces of gravity. The heat produced by stars is what makes them shine. Their temperatures reach hundreds of thousands degrees Celsius.

What makes you shine? Write ME!

Dear Karen ~ I love your new year's resolution.  It would be great if we all got hip to our many excuses.  Yes, stop blaming your poor husband who you are enabling to have those man boobs!  I will do my best to incorporate Our Lord of the Fat Reduction in the next book and will certainly give you credit!  Thank you for the funny and irreverant e-mail.  Say hello to all across the pond! OLofWL travels far, so cool! ~ OLofWL

Dear OLofWL ~ Number 3 of last week's Top Ten Resolutions for 2007 was:"To stand on the scales of justice without going Postal."

As a Postal person myself, we REALLY don't like folks using that term anymore!  That's SO-O-O 1990's!  And it makes postal workers sound like a bunch of mentally unstable crazoids.  Which is so not the truth. Did you know that even on Christmas Eve, (which was Sunday this year) & on Christmas Day, we had dedicated employees out there, sometimes even on their OWN time, working to get those last minute gifts, packages & boxes of fruit to their destinations, so that the little girls & boys of America can get their goodies on time?  That's a WONDERFUL group of people!  Not a bunch of crazies, or lazies or crabbies, for that matter.  We really DO try harder!  You didn't see the other major package delivery companies out there on those days!  I know you didn't mean to demean the Postal Service, but terms like that still hurt for the 800,000 workers who bring everything from nasty bills to your Righteous Musings to America's doors.

And while I'm at it, I might as well request forgiveness for this Weighty Confession: yesterday, while at a retirement party for one of our hardest working, I overate something fierce...bad me.  The bread, the salad, the entrée, and a huge piece of chocolate cake with chocolate fudge sauce (oh - divine) drooled on it.  I ate it all.  Thanks for listening! ~ A fan in Newark, NJ

Dear fan in Newark, NJ ~ I apologize from the bottom of my postal loving heart.  Truth is, I am always amazed at the efficiency of the USPS.  While we're on the topic, I'd like to take this opportunity to send a shout out to the postal works at my local post office, Morningside Station, zip 10026 - and say, Thank You!  Always a pleasure dropping off, picking up and having a chat!

As for your weighty confession !!!!  "All Is Forgiven.  Move On!"  ~ OLofWL

Obsess About Your HAIR! 

Shift your focus from food to hair!
I spent 4.5 hours at the hair salon yesterday trying to get the color right.  That's 4.5 hours not eating or thinking about food.  I was obsessing about hair. Very effective!!
