It jumps the gun on so many things like publishing before I am able to spell check (approach vs. reproach) or either it might cut me off in the middle of the sentence. So if you should see anything crazy going on, blame it on the new program.<BR/>However I will say that most of the time it is amazingly accurate and over time I will be able to master the small setbacks. But so far it's giving my arm a nice rest which is always great.Mikki Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16207230315732437889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14028331.post-1127517965791875642005-09-24T00:26:00.000+01:002005-09-24T00:26:00.000+01:00Oh, I agree - they're all the same and deserve to ...Oh, I agree - they're all the same and deserve to be slapped. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Are you still having problems, SL? The other night, my entire blog disappeared; only the latest post was left sitting there, on its own. What was funny, of course,was that the counter was there too and it looked like I'd got over 5000 viewings in one hour.

Okay she made a choice albeit the wrong one, lost multimillion dollar contracts (idiot)... and now people are going to act shocked. Come on. Bela, you're absolutely right, she's a scapegoat. An idiot and a scapegoat.<BR/>In the fashion industry it's just saving their butts and images. Cocaine use has been pretty open and rampant in that industry for quite some time. the same people who were pointing fingers are probably doing a little toot in the bathrooms as well.Mikki Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16207230315732437889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14028331.post-1127435189644337982005-09-23T01:26:00.000+01:002005-09-23T01:26:00.000+01:00It’s true: I should have mentioned her child too. ...It’s true: I should have mentioned her child too. And the absent father. And they should prosecute the nasty boyfriend if they prosecute her. I don't understand why they haven't before now.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps “happy” wasn’t quite the right word, but cocaine is an “upper”: it allows some people to be “buzzing” all the time. Those people usually need to because of their work and/or their lifestyle, and more often than not that kind of work and/or lifestyle brings them huge financial rewards, and, although <I>"l'argent ne fait pas le bonheur"</I> (that's French for, well, I'm sure you can work it out), it does contribute to it. QED. :-)<BR/><BR/>Being a scapegoat is not a comfortable thing to be. Let’s hope she learns her lesson.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, M and colombina, for your kind words.Belahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16935284724145788208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14028331.post-1127430517213032902005-09-23T00:08:00.000+01:002005-09-23T00:08:00.000+01:00Who among us with half a brain is truly happy anyw...Who among us with half a brain is truly happy anyway?

And they *are* always happy people just having a better time! (One of my best friends once scolded me, after I explained how I felt about cocaine, "But you can't really look down at anyone for it. I mean, everybody does it." Everybody? Oh no, dear, poor people smoke crack. Rich people snort cocaine. And middle-class people like myself stand in the middle frowning furiously at everyone.)<BR/><BR/>Kate is definitely a scapegoat. I don't feel bad for her so much as I feel exhausted scorn for the fashion industry hypocrites who are pretending to be surprised at the drug use of a rich, pretty supermodel. "Kate Moss does cocaine! My God, who KNEW?" And then they will cancel her contract and hire another girl who does something more acceptable, like, I don't know, prescription painkillers.Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05744380759887516569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14028331.post-1127398137114869292005-09-22T15:08:00.000+01:002005-09-22T15:08:00.000+01:00I have no simpathy for her either, none.

Her child's father is likely to apply for custody apparently.<BR/>My understanding of cocaine is that it gives you the oomph to cope with social and work situations that might otherwise be a bit too scary. I'm not sure anyone who feels the obsessive need to take class A drugs could be described as truly happy.GreatSheElephanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06589100964804729527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14028331.post-1127356759550282602005-09-22T03:39:00.000+01:002005-09-22T03:39:00.000+01:00*busy writing down quote to be included in Bela's ...*busy writing down quote to be included in <I>Bela's All Time Hits</I>: <B>Cocaine is not the drug of choice of the unhappy: it's the drug that enables the happy to enjoy themselves even more.</B> zockso, sweety!mireillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02012296353550408831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14028331.post-1127345609663646642005-09-22T00:33:00.000+01:002005-09-22T00:33:00.000+01:00I do feel sorry for her child, though.

Is going to be one lousy family story that kid will have to live with one day, unless she does ditch the irresponsible habits and creepy icky men. God. No kid should have to grow up with that crap. Where is this child's father? (He's a different guy than her boyfriend, I belieeve.) <I>Someone</I> should step in if the woman isn't going to create a environment that is conducive to bringing up a child. I'm slapping the father of Kate Moss' child, too.katiedidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13248305568368727274noreply@blogger.com
