I am here for Friends

About Me

“There is no work more beautiful or greater than to be useful to others for the sake of love.” JPII. This is me, "savoring" life, one bite at a time by loving people through food and lending a helping hand!

Tomatoes and oregano make it Italian; wine and tarragon make it French. Sour cream makes it Russian; lemon and cinnamon make it Greek. Soy sauce makes it Chinese; garlic makes it good.Alice May Brock

People who like to cook AND bake, enjoy EXCELLENT music and a good solid faith background. My faith is central to I am!

Please no "spammers", I do NOT like people who prey on others or who sorely lack integrity! Predators are evil!

Add me to the bookworm club too! I love to read!

I also LOVE comedians and people with a sense of humor.

Music:

All kinds from the 3 Tenors to Pop and Yes, believe it or not, even Country and Oldies.

As long as the singer has TALENT, and I mean "real TALENT"

NO Sanjaya's or Wiliam Hung's please, I will pretty much like it!

THIS HUMBLE GENTLEMAN IS WHAT MAKES ME LOVE MY PROFESSION AS A COMPENSATION MANAGER.I LOVE being a Compensation Manager because I like helping people who LOVE their profession and to express their passion for it within the Company. I like to help people feel appreciated with their “first love”, compensation management is a BIG PART of that!This “humble guy” who works at a car phone warehouse has the true talent of a Pavarotti. God has TRULY BLESSED him with an unbelievable talent and he deserves to take it as far as it will take him!ENJOY!! WATCH OUT FOR THOSE BUCKETS OF TEARS!!

Movies:

"Arthur", I get such a kick out of Dudley Moore.

"Ferris Bueller's Day Off" my fantasy, to get away with everything and with a smile on my face.

"Spaceballs", hysterical from beginning to end.

"Up in Arms" Vintage WWII comedy: timeless...

"Napoleon Dynamite" Yes, I voted for Pedro, I love the dance and the wedding at the end!

"Fletch" Another one of those fantasy comedies where the star gets away with everything and with a smile on his face!

"Men at Work", "I hate rent a cops too!"

"Bedazzled" both of them are a riot, watch what you wish for!

"The Blues Brothers" There is nothing that can compare to two men in a suit and sunglasses 24X7 and commit crime set to music, without so much as a smirk.

"Trading Places" I love the concept especially the end!

"National Lampoon's Vacation" A cult classic every summer. "Oh that's a pool waitress!"

Also, I like "vintage" films from the 1930s to 1960s. I call this the period when it was required to have talent to act. These days it is who is the sluttiest.

In case you cannot tell, I love to laugh!

Television:

M*A*S*H with the Wayne Rogers Years mostly. I look forward to his episodes and the rest I can live without! My favorite M*A*S*H of all time is "Tuttle", that was the most clever story and television I have ever seen. It is a "must see!"

What would life be without the Foodnetwork

I never would of known how to make a great steak, barbecue or cake without them.


For a good laugh, I miss "Hogan's Heroes", "I know nothing, I see nothing." "Hysterical!"

Books:

Prince of Tides (My favorite book of all time) ,

Pat Conroy is the biggest writing genius I have ever read in my life! "WHAT TALENT!"

Eight,

Chances
