SO MANY MEN, SO LITTLE TIME

Tonight I'm going to have a private talk with my women friends. Now I know I've chased most of you away, but I gotta tell you, I'm a woman who means business. Sometimes you may have to take the medicine I'm givin ya with a sour look on ya faces. Ya see, I've been discoverin that I'm a catalyst. Ya know what I mean! like a catalytic converter! ask your men friends!

I don't really know what I'm catalyzing most of the time. I just dig in and see what pops up to the surface. So recently, a friend is talkin about her husband and wishin he would just accept her the way she is. And I told her, I don't know why I'm here, but I'm catalyzing something. The next thing you know, out of the blue she asks to chant with me...know what kirtan is? bet you never thought Mae West would sit like a yogini and chant kirtan! Ha! Why do you think I have so many men!

So I don't say much to her about the chanting. We just do it! During the chant I can tell she has disappeared. How do I know? Because I feels it! It feels like total stillness, like between the two of us, no one is there...no mental gyrations, well mostly not.

And afterwards, you should see the big smile spread across her face like she just ate a banana!

She said, "I was in the light! I disappeared!" I said,"I know you did."

"And you know what I realized about my man?" she says. "He's fine the way he is. If he's not accepting of what I'm doing, it's OK. If he doesn't take interest in doing what I want to do, it's OK. I'm giving myself all the acceptance I need!

And off she went, with stars in eyes, and fresh young energy, to spend the weekend with her new husband, HE'S NEW SINCE SHE HAD HER NEW DISCOVERY!

GOODNESS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT

This title tempts me into writing about being in trouble. I've had my days of being bad and I'm bad, only when I say I'm bad. I think this week's column will have you all breathing a sigh of relief, cause you might be thinkin you're bad when you're in trouble. And that's up to you, fellas.

Take for example the other day, buying a ticket at the machine, for the underground subway in Munich. I was really tryin to be a first class citizen and buy a ticket like the rest of the folks. I even attracted a suited up gentleman,who had never used one of those machines to try to help me out. (Annie Mae doesn't miss many chances to let others help her out!)

We selected a one way ticket to town and put the exact coins in and the machine shot them out the other end! Hmmmm! Surprisin, considering German technology.
I thought it must be us doin something wrong, since German machines are right. So we try it again, and the coins come out again. No ticket.

So then another prospective gentlemen comes along and he thinks he can get the machine to work. And he KNOWS how to use the machine!

So I figure, Annie Mae did everything she could. Even tried two machines and no ticket. I thanked the gentleman and released them from their duties.

So the next choice was go for free! In days past, Annie Mae would have gone through ticketless feeling horrible and guilty. Not this time! I wrapped my furs around me and sailed past the ticket reading machines and jumped on that underground train bound for glamourous downtown Munich!

Angels must have already paid for me!
