That reminds me. I need to blog about that.

Another disturbing fact about “The Da Vinci Code” is that it will soon be a movie produced by Ron Howard and starring Tom Hanks. (Apparently it’s in production now, with filming set to begin in May.)

Hanks hasn’t had a huge hit lately, but he’s one of our most popular actors, and Howard has also directed some terrific movies. Having those two names on board the project could only serve to lend credibility to what is, as you said, La Shawn, and “exceedingly inaccurate book.”

Bravo Rae, Its good that marraige traditions, the do’s and don’t are being passed along from one generation to the next.

Sadly this is not always the case. I read Dr. Laura’s book and was SHOCKED to see the things I was experiencing in my marraige. In my case I wasn’t getting any of the treatment you typed in about. I was getting LOTS of the things in the book.

I couldn’t get my wife to read the book.

After thinking about it for some time, I relized that my wife was truely taking advantage of me.

Hopefully, one day in the very distant future, I will meet someone who is skilled in ‘The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands’.

Peace,

Thanks for the comments, everyone. It is great. I won’t be interviewing her in person, however. We’re doing an e-mail interview, and I plan to come up with some thought-provoking questions.

Dr. Laura can be abrasive. She’s rubbed me raw a few times. She’s not a Christian, so the element of grace is missing in her advice. But in these politically correct times, hers is a much-needed tough voice, especially where children are concerned. Dr. Laura is at her most abrasive when she perceives that children are being neglected and/or in danger.

That sounds awesome, LaShawn! Dr. Laura is one of my heroes!

I’m looking forward to reading your Dr Laura interview. The two of you together will be enlightening and fun.

The next time, she should interview you.

Wow! You know, La Shawn, I personally have never been a big fan of Dr. Laura. I find her too abrasive and lacking in grace (on her radio show). The book didn’t tell me anything that the “older women” in my church and my husband hadn’t already told me (you know, “that the older women may teach the younger how to love their husbands….” )And now, I am looking around me and finding myself being one of those “older women” and guess what news about loving that husband I am passing on to them? “Respect, food, direct communication, ‘good-loving.’” I bought her book at the behesting of several friends, but I didn’t get passed the chapter that quotes that list because I found it only repeated what I already knew worked. See, I can read anything in the world, but it is ulitmately up to me to do it. To cook a good meal, when I would rather eat out (and I am not knocking eating out occasionally); tell him in a kind voice and with careful, but specific words what is going on with me (and to know myself so that I can do so) when slamming the plates around the kitchen would make far more noise; and to initiate when I might be more inclined to claim the need for Bayer instead of him.

I do think it is a professional accolade and I am very happy for you that you have the opportunity. Congratulations

Hey, that’s awesome!
Can’t wait to hear what she’s like in person! My husband is a big Dr. Laura fan. She’s a little too mean for me, but I appreciate where she stands on morals – at least most of the time!

I got to meet Dr. Laura at a booksigning in Kansas City recently. She is so cute and fun and sharp in person! She really knows how to work–and please–a crowd, too.

When the woman in front of us asked to have the book signed for her husband, who was with her and whose birthday it happened to be, Dr. Laura yelled to the whole crowd that it was John’s birthday and had us all sing to him! The guy was so embarassed, and it was a lot of fun. Then she said (and only those of us close to her heard this) “Have you read the book?” John said, “Not yet.” Dr. Laura turned to the wife and said, “I think you ought to give him Chapter Six for his birthday.” You can guess what Chapter Six in “The Care and Feeding” might be about! It was a great moment.

Best wishes with all of this, La Shawn! We’re proud of our blogging buddy, of whom we can already say, “We knew her when…”

The Da Vinci code reeks of everything bad that happens when intellectual religiousizers who don’t believe in God start trying to explain stuff.

Baaaad. News.

Worst of all, these books become best-sellers because they prey on spiritual-hungry citizens of America. Even worse, these type of books fill the void left when Christians continue to write irrelevant braggadocia.

Can’t wait to read your review.

You know I was with an acquaintance and he was talking about the DaVinci Code like it was the end all. I haven’t read it yet. But to hear him talk about it – It has all the answers LOL!

WOW an interview. That’s Great! I want to read the latest Dr. Laura Book. Her ‘Proper Care of. . .’ gave me insight that I would NOT have had with other resources. I’m looking forward to reading your interview with her. Congratulations La Shawn!

I’m out {POOF}
