The suffering you have been through needs to come out in the open. Do read Susan Sontag who put it in words.

Indeed you need a new paradigm. The terrible situation of change is shared also by those who successfully lose a great deal of weight. Reaching the goal soon reveals itself as anything but a moment of triumph, it is the beginning of an ordeal poorly understood let alone respected. On the contrary you are heaped in praise from everyone around you.

Happiness is the most impossible of states of mind.

That one makes others happy is too meagre a comfort. Life is one damned thing after another.

One´s heart goes out to the debilitating suffering of a headache of which one can only be sure of one thing: it is not migraine.

I do believe you might check your diet as your hell could be food allergy. Against carbohydrates for instance.

Try and live on nothing a few days just green tea hot or cold.

Then begin slowly with dairy products high in fat and eggs from freeroaming chickens. Fry in butter and olive oil nothing else. No bread. Spinach,broccoli,cauliflower,green salad are the vegetables to be used. Fat fish (salmon sardines) and

meat high in fat (from bacon) no alcohol

If has helped me marvellously and I lost a great deal of weight too (yes a diet high in fat and restricting

carbyhydrates to a minimum gives the sensation of never being hungry while you naturally eat much less)

What is this term Caucasian. Caucasus is geographically not even Europe.

When speaking of white people is that not the American way of identifying European stock?

The white population of the US is the European stock, pas vrai?

Being French one cannot understand the term Caucasian any more than the custom of identifying individuals according to colour of skin let alone creed.

In France a French person is identified in her/his being French.

One cannot aspire for anything higher.

Moi, I tend to agree.

Compassion for every woman handling her sex life so awkwardly that it turns into a matter of breeding. There are already too many of us. The human race - to which so many of my readers belong - is already a danger to the planet as indicated by

climate change and increasing prices on food.

The women citing poor economy as reason for abortion are absolutely right. Abortion should be seen as THE way to save the planet.

Albert Camus noted that a single sentence will suffice for modern man: he fornicated and he read the papers.

Note that Camus does not mention breeding.

The same naturally applies to women.

I wish Cary Tennis had the courage to call a spade a spade and not beat about the bush with suggestions like leaving the door open. This girlfriend clearly wants a better life elsewhere.

Wish her all the best and be glad of the memory of the days when the going was good.

One must have some hygiene in one´s life.

I have seen the Mamma Mia movie and it is wonderful gorgeous fun and Meryl Streep absolutely exuberant and that ABBA music

creating champagne bubble all over it.

In comparison Sex and the City has the heart of a cucumber fried in snow.

There is a great deal to be said for hopeless relationships.

They are wonderfully intense just like any drug.

What goes under one´s skin is one´s encounters with it.

Do carry on with it but be sure to change the men.

It is not a bad life at all.

The elegant article is just a little bit too silent on the shameful media lynching of the French after France had the guts to stand up against that Iraq war. And how - remember the then foreign minister Dominique de Villepin speaking about the Old Continent in the UN Security Council actually applauding him.

It is touched upon ever so lightly when Arnold states

Obama would rather not be seen with the French in public.

Let us hope rather that there will never again be an America like the Dubya America and above all that American media will not again make themselves the uncritical ally of the Presidency.

Not just the memory of the absolutely revolting anti-French press during those years

reminds one that the so glorified independence of the media

is an act in need of reparation.

Remember how the CBS did not wish to go public with one of its own scoops - the Abu Ghraib - and only did so most unwillingly because its source was about to go to the New Yorker with it. CBS boss Les Moonves told a Cannes press conference in October 2007 on my direct question that the reason for its unwillingless was that "the White House did not want it".

He declined to answer if he thought it a good thing for the CBS journalism to act in accordance to the wishes of the White House.

Obama c´est mon homme.
