Help Repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"
Military Officers Association of America (MOAA) has just created a survey on DADT. Please take a minute or two and go to the below link and fill out the survey - it is only five questions. You do not have to be a MOAA member to complete the survey. Also please send this on to any past or present military officers who you think would respond favorably to repealing DADT. MOAA is 300,000 strong and the average member age is about 75 plus (and likley fairly conservative) so we need to get as many people who support repeal to take the survey.
MOAA DADT Survey
Women only make up 19% of the Armed Forces, but account for almost 50% of the discharges under "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" (DADT)
WE REALLY NEED YOUR HELP!!!!

Judy Kinney's Recipe for
OOOH AHHH Love
♥ what you want AND what you already have
Heck yeah, life is your own personal candy store! There is no need to pretend you like soy chocolate when Belgium milk chocolate is what really stirs your taste buds. This is true for all aspects of your life. Being clear about what you like, AND thankful for what you have, sends a clear and direct message to the universe.
The universe only knows how to agree with you. Not sure what you really want? Spend more time enjoying the next ingredient, while noticing and acting on what feels good.
♥ feeling good, happy, and joyful.
Ah, this ingredient is the foundation for life, and for all other ingredients in this recipe. Yes, trust what feels good to you, and the other ingredients come to life with such ease. Since the Law of Attraction brings you what you vibrate emotionally, welcome feeling good as your guide for life and love. Do you want feel good, happy connections with women? I do!
♥ days filled with "I love you", "thank you", joy and laughter.
This is my sentimental favorite ingredient. Talk to yourself, your animals, lover, kids, friends, the grocery clerk and say "I love you" and "thank you" a zillion times during the day.

Connecting Our Community
Supporting the Sisterhood
I recently had the pleasure of "meeting" (on-line), MaryAnn and Louise, who own Dyke Notes, a website for lesbians in the Miami area. They, like Les Connections, promote our "keeping it in the community" and turning to each other first for help and business opportunities. They passed on a story about how community really can make a difference, especially when times are tough.
Billie Potts, one of the businesswomen listed on their website said she "grew up in an Orthodox Jewish family living in an Italian/Irish/German Catholic working class Bronx neighborhood. Mutual economic aid among Jews was one of the essential practical tools - charity boxes(piske cans) in every home for the less fortunate, organized aid societies for health care, funerals, schooling, no-interest loans to Jews in need, a seat at the table for the hungry stranger, trading only within the Jewish community for survival necessities."
Community should be there for each other. MaryAnn and Louise believe our community of lesbians should support itself and so do I! Please check out our lesbian-owned businesses at: Services and Products. | |

Diet Danger: High Fructose Corn Syrup
The Effects of Corn Syrup Aren't So Sweet
Trying to save money, food companies introduced High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) into the food market in the 1970s. Sweetening manufactured foods this way is profitable, because it is less expensive and much sweeter than sugar, yet easy to transport because of its liquid state. Today HFCS is found in a variety of foods from soda pop to ketchup, fruit drinks to salad dressings, cereals, breads, flavored yogurt, and sauces.
What is Fructose?
Fructose, a monosaccharide, is sometimes called "fruit sugar" because it is naturally found in fruits. Fructose is also found in honey, and is a component of table sugar (sucrose), which is a disaccharide composed of fructose and glucose.
When we eat most carbohydrate foods, the blood sugar level increases and insulin is secreted to transport the sugar into the body's cells. Besides helping to transport blood sugar, insulin also triggers the release of a hormone called leptin. Leptin helps control hunger by...
