I loved your interview with Susan Hende...Hi, Rosie,<br />I loved your interview with Susan Henderson and her novel, Up from the Blue. It tied in beautifully with your discussion about kids and favoritism, and how our perception of our parents, and how parents treat us impacts our self-esteem as kids and as adults. <br /><br />The idea that Susan put forth about self-hatred as a form of narcissism really got me thinking, summed up by Jessica Keenerhttp://www.jessicakeener.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7151493481385344965.post-53846022336374988972011-04-08T07:47:41.307-04:002011-04-08T07:47:41.307-04:00I have to admit - yesterday was the first day I ev...I have to admit - yesterday was the first day I ever tuned in to your show, Rosie, and now I am hooked. The reason I listened was because you had my awesome friend, Susan Henderson, on your show and I thought your interview and comments were brilliant. And I am over the moon that you loved Up from the Blue. I think it was easily one of the best books of 2010 and maybe one of the best books RobinSlickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12744792508763281122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7151493481385344965.post-21752685732731259502011-04-08T05:07:06.975-04:002011-04-08T05:07:06.975-04:00ok, let me preface this post by emphasizing that i...ok, let me preface this post by emphasizing that i just love this radio show and i love this recap blog, and i’m going to be very sad when the show (or this incarnation of it) comes to an end in a few months...<br /><br />however...<br /><br />what the hell, janette? i love ya, but lou dobbs?! xenophobic lou dobbs? really?

Tracey and Rosie do not live together, so was she talking about her children and KElli's new partner?

We tormented her through our entire childhood. I have such HUGE regret about that now. She is truly the most wonderful person you could ever meet - but with very low self esteem that keeps her in bad relationships.

My mother constantly stated that old tired line about loving all her children the same. Too bad the children did not feel that. I asked her once why she had so many children when it was obvious to eveyone that she she only cared for three of them. She replied like a programmed robot - I love all my children the same. <br /> <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7151493481385344965.post-35050766565505678242011-04-07T18:23:37.978-04:002011-04-07T18:23:37.978-04:00Loved Rosie's retweet today regarding Bill Cos...Loved Rosie's retweet today regarding Bill Cosby's take on Trump: http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/42471942/ns/today-today_people/<br /><br />I agree with Pete that changing foreign policy in order to improve safety is important.
