Have you read lately that Bo Derek hates aging? I guess it"s big news! You can read about her feelings here or here. I am shocked that anyone would say this especially someone with the looks that she once had. I just wonder why Bo Derek hates aging but I love it
Let"s take a look at her when she was in the movie Ten. She is one fine looking woman. Even adjusting for make up, lighting and filters, she won the genetics lottery.
As a result of her stunning good looks she got the part in the movie Ten. Based just on her looks, I don"t think that anyone would argue that she was hired for her acting abilities. (In fact she has been nominated for two Raspberry awards for worst acting in a film.)
Now let"s take a look at her today. She is 3 years younger than me or as she puts it, 58 and a half. Still a good looking woman.
Not a s*x symbol any more, but a nice looking woman. But she hates it. She misses her skin. She thinks it isn"t easy.
When she was 16, she dropped out of high school and ran away to Europe with John Derek, a man 30 years her senior. They returned and married when she was of a legal age. You can read more about her life here.
She lives on a ranch with her boyfriend John Corbett and their horses. You can even tour it here.And she is in the upcoming Sharknado 3.
I personally don"t really care about her but boy, it bothers me when a person who has had a pretty charmed life complains. Her skin isn"t what it once was? Boo hoo!
I think aging is hard on people who don"t value their minds as much as their looks and bodies. Bo has made the startling discovery that beauty fades. Ya think?
I suggest she take some classes, finish high school even. Work for more charities, help other people who have had really rough lives.
And quilt! Yep, I think the quilters I know are pretty positive people because they have a wonderful activity which keeps their mind and hands busy. They think about others and help them out.
I am so very glad I have children and grandchildren to keep my mind off my aging body. I am very glad I had a satisfying career helping others although I readily admit, being a s*x symbol was never in the cards for me.
I love aging because I can slow down and take my time. I can read, sew, talk and heck, nap. I can value all I have in life.
And quite frankly I love being alive. Still. Not all of my family or friends were able to see their 60"s.
Bo should be darn grateful for what she has, that she is still alive and in good health. She has a companion and a great place to live. Fine, she"s not a quilter but into each life some rain must fall.
Maybe that rain will help her with her skin.
Sew happy!

British Open: One tearful winner, another golfer a shot short of history, and an amateur"s wild ride
It was a day full of emotion at this year"s British Open. The winner (Zach Johnson) fought back tears in an interview. One of the greatest golfers on the planet (Jordan Spieth) went down fighting in his march toward history. And an amateur (Paul Dunne) started the day leading one of the most prestigious golf tournaments in the world, before falling apart. The winner: Johnson, who says he"s just an ordinary guy from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, took home the Claret Jug. "I can"t. I"m at a loss for words," Johnson, with tears in his eyes, said in a TV interview moments after the playoff. Golf"s No. 2-ranked player: History was hovering above Spieth all week, but in the end, he choked on one hole under the pressure of a grand slam. Here"s the moment it all came to an end. "Today was a really tough day. ... I just wish I had given myself a little better opportunity," Spieth said. Golf fans felt the magnitude of the loss. The amateur: Dunne looked incredibly nervous during the final round, which is to be expected. After all, imagine yourself at 22 on the leaderboard. See how he fell apart.

The U.S. and Cuba do some more making up
The U.S. and Cuba got one step closer on Monday toward normalizing relations by re-opening the Cuban Embassy in Washington, D.C. It was the first time Cuba"s blue, red and white-starred flag was flown there since the U.S. broke off diplomatic relations with the communist country 54 years ago. President Obama and Cuban President Ral Castro announced in December the two countries would end their five-decade diplomatic freeze. The ceremony drew pro- and anti-Cuban protests. Pro-Cuban demonstrators said relations should never have been broken off to begin with. Anti-Cuban demonstrators said the U.S. needs to force human rights changes in Cuba, not get cozy with Castro. One of the next big questions for the U.S.: Whether to repeal economic sanctions.

Millions of married cheaters today are feeling really betrayed
If you"re an Ashley Madison member, get your divorce lawyer on speed-dial. The dating website, which shamelessly targets married people, was breached by hackers. Millions use the site to start affairs. We don"t know exactly what data werecompromised in the breach, but personal information of some users was posted online. The site owner, Toronto-based Avid Life Media, told everyone things are secure now, and it"s working with law enforcement to investigate this "criminal act." No mention of morality.
Miranda and Blake just became the saddest line in your favorite country song
Country royalty Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert are splitting up. (OK, OK, deep breaths.) The singers announced their divorce Monday in a statement to the Associated Press. (You can do it, in and out, in and out.) The two met 10 years ago when they performed together at a CMT concert taping. Shelton proposed in 2010, and they got hitched the following year in Texas. The marriage made them country music"s highest-profile couple, though they were plagued with rumors of relationship trouble. In 2013, after a tabloid magazine questioned the stability of the marriage, Shelton tweeted Lambert, saying, "I just read in a tabloid that our marriage is falling apart!" Lambert tweeted back: "Oh no! Can"t wait to read if we make it or not." (Yes, it"s OK to sob through the irony.) We can"t help but wonder which one will be out first with an epic breakup ballad.
"We are alive. We are intelligent. We must know."
Don"t adjust that radio dial. Orson Welles isn"t around to fool us anymore. A search for real extraterrestrials will be underway soon. World-renowned scientist Stephen Hawking and entrepreneur Yuri Milner announced the launch of a $100 million project aimed at finding whether intelligent life exists in our universe. "Somewhere in the cosmos, perhaps, intelligent life may be watching these lights of ours, aware of what they mean," Hawking said. The 10-year project will use the powerful Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia and the Parkes Telescope in New South Wales, Australia, to survey the million stars closest to Earth. This covers 10 times more sky than previous projects. Hawking says there"s no bigger question than whether there is life beyond Earth. "We are alive. We are intelligent. We must know."

The Revenant Official Teaser Trailer + Trailer Review : Beyond The Trailer
Leonardo DiCaprio isnt afraid to die in the first trailer for the survival drama The Revenant
I done it already, he says, referring to death.
The movie, which is already generating plenty of Oscar buzz, teams DiCaprio with Oscar-winning director Alejandro G. Inarritu, who also co-wrote the film based on Michael Punkes novel. If anyone can help DiCaprio in the hunt for Oscar gold, its Inarritu, whose Birdman nabbed four Academy Awards this year.
Inspired by the life of mythical explorer Hugh Glass, The Revenant focuses on one mans (DiCaprio) adventure of survival in the early 19th century American wilderness.
The trailer, which is light on dialogue and heavy on action, finds DiCaprios character facing off against Tom Hardy, who plays his confidant-turned-enemy John Fitzgerald. Glass vows revenge on Fitzgerald when he betrays him, robbing him and leaving him for dead in the wilderness. The fur trapper also battles a bear and a vicious winter, ultimately traveling more than 200 miles to seek redemption.
The film also stars Domhnall Gleeson and Will Poulter. It was shot entirely in natural light by cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki.
The Revenant, from New Regency and 20th Century Fox, hits theaters on Christmas Day before going wide on Jan. 8, 2016.
Although the 15 freeway has been reopened for weekend warriors on their way to Vegas, the fire that destroyed several cars rages on in its second day.
On Saturday morning, officials said the North Fire was only 5% contained, although the storm rolling through Los Angeles this morning should help firefighters in their efforts. According to the L.A. Times, 3,500 acres have burned and 44 cars and at least four homes have been destroyed.
KTLA says 20 of those cars were stuck on the pavement of the 15 freeway, including two big rigs and a boat being towed. The flames jumped the freeway and consumed the trapped cars. Luckily, no drivers were harmed, and authorities reported no major injuries as a result of the fire. The freeway was reopened after midnight.
"Cars were going in the opposite direction into traffic," Gilbert Cagatin told the L.A. Times. "It was that bad."
Talia Sclafani and her soccer teammates were traveling from Las Vegas to San Diego for a tournament when they had to leave their van. "To our left, it was like a spark and then five minutes later the freeway was engulfed," she told CNN.
One witness on the ground captured video of horses fleeing the North Fire and a DC-10 dropping flame retardant:
Meanwhile, only miles away in Wrightwood, the Pine Fire has has burned at least 125 acres after starting around 9:30 p.m., Friday night. Around 300 people have been evacuated, including deaf or partially deaf children and Girl Scouts in nearby campgrounds.
