I was blogging and typing till wee hours in the morning… then woke up so bright and chirpy(?) HA!…. and found that the american express show that i now love… that i see on sunday mornings.. is also on sat! so watched a bit… it was the same show as last week but you can always gain a little bit more info when you re-watch a  great informational and  business show right?  The information on  social media… the quote on how if someone doesn’t incorporate social media into their website and business… they may as well retire… and  i think that may be soooo true… i mean i’m a bit behind o.k. I’ll admit it….( older as in 44 years old… ) but i can see how valuable… even when i was creating the websites for the babysitting  business.. and for the etiquette school… there were so many great and innovative ways to advertise, to relate to your customer, to engage your customer and to communicate with your customer and  then allow them to interact and relate to you and your business….  and the power of the social media.. just  amazing!  

Gosh i hope i can catch up….

so this is another weird bit of information.. not sure if i should put it in this blog or in the www.mysearchforjustice.com blog ….   

I forgot to mention the other day  I got to see Gene Kelly in “An American in Paris!” also luv the new commercial where he is dancing in the back of a jetta… then I  started thinking of a ton of other shows that I love that are probably called  ‘classic”…..Lets see:
 
pretty much all the Grace Kelly movies… and luv Doris Day… and love the Gigit movies..my sister maura always liked Audrey Hepburn.. but there are some movies.. like Sabrina that i just  adore….

so many of the musicals….. I guess I just loved them  ever since my mother used to watch them with us…

maybe it is the air of innocence… or the way that the movies had these fairy tale happily ever after endings… or the way that gentlemen were gentlemen.. and ladies got to be ladies…  

But that brings me to the point I wanted  to blog about… I saw Liem Neison… on Jay Leno the other night… actually found this article online that day… and  in his interview.. he mentioned that he didn’t like tatoos on women… wow.. that comment actually made me admire his character even  more… i hope he is able to find someone really special to date and marry… I mean  of course…if he is looking to eventually meet and date….but his late wife was so amazing…i honestly dont know how he is going to do it… it must be hard…. when you’ve had a great marriage… or relationship….  

anyway….the idea of character… of having a set of ideals.. and values and morals and sticking  to them… like no tatoos… I don’t like them as well… Liem said for a woman it was like someone had already been there… and I never thought of it that way.. I just  have never liked them…. I don’t have any and I will never get any… I guess to me its just tacky… like too much jewelery… or too much eye shadow… but with tatoos you can never take them off..

so for me it was so refreshing to see that there are still gentlemen who don’t believe  in tatoos… I guess also in that way I’m a bit old fashioned.. but so be it.. it is me and it is what I like and kudos for Liem to actually mention what he doesn’t like as well!  

so speaking of gentlemen…and the difference between gentlemen and not….. its also refreshing to meet a guy who can dress well… not always dress for a formal event… ( but on my list of wishes for the perfect gingerbreadman…. he will already own a tux(HA!)) but seriously…. he should be able to have a nice wardrobe… and be able to wear it….

you know the difference when you see someone who just doesn’t feel comfortable in their clothes…. I think you have to own your style… and hopefully it is a reflection of who you are and somewhat  even what you believe about yourself… Of course there are exceptions… (I’m thinking of some days when even I don’t feel perfect in my clothes.. but for the main part.. I usually tend to dress conservatively.. and its pretty easy or at least it used  to be HA! ….to love to go shopping and dress for me…and i guess it was more of a reflection of my style and of who I am….   )
  
for example…. golfers…. sitting and watching the golfers go by my condo…I can see the many men and women  who actually look like golfers… and those who look like they are “trying out a style”..and it just  doesn’t fit…and I’m not talking about their  swing.. or anything to do with actually playing golf.. but just  their style… 
 

So  my mom would have loved to hear about these movies… this past sunday… camelot….. remember the musical… on channel #74 here in naples… my mom once owned the record of it.. yes i said  record…

I remember everything… in great detail… and in my childhood my mother loved music and musicals.. carosel,  camelot those were a few of the actual long playing records we had in saudi…… then of course we got to go and see the broadway musicals she loved… most of the time we saw them on the trips  back and  forth.. when we went  through New York for flights… when we first moved to saudi… we had nice long layovers… for shopping.. and the theater shows…..and  museums… she was a great person to show us the arts… whynot she also showed us many of the wonders of the world… whynot a few mucicals in New York…..HA!the  musicals we had the chance to see… lets see if i can remember all of them..
there was:
The king and I
Godspell
West side story
annie
the wiz
Greece
I’m trying to remember all of them… I may have to ask my mother or sisters…. if  they  remember them…. but so many times everyone gets all the real stories wrong…  so we will wait and see…..

Anyway… another movie that I had never seen before.. that I jsut  adored… was called “Daddy Long legs” with Fred Astair  with  the women who was in Gi Gi … (can’t remember her name)  I should I inserted the song from gigi about litle girls for the etiquette school….. anyway…   the movie… daddy long legs…about  an orphan who had a sponser… then of course she later fell in love with  her sponser…. and it was a happily ever after movie…. wealthy older man who has everything but love… finds the love of his life was right under his nose…. ( good movie trailer clip huh? ) anyway… I could use a great and wonderful daddy long legs …. someone with class.. style and sofistication…. well educated.. articulate….nice… no issues or problems…. Oh… the same list of criteria…  I’ve been hoping to meet since i was 14 or 15 years old…HA!
There haven’t been many new entries in my eharmony….guess the gingerbread man for me doesn’t exist?  

Also fun movies to watch/walk on the  treadmill: “Little black book”…. the issues of ommison of truth… about -X- boyfriends and  girlfriends….  I dont lie.. whether it is a lie or not to omit bits of informaiton… I tell the truth… when asked…so it makes it easier telling the story of my life….HA!….

I know some people think that is too nerdy… old fashioned… or whatever… but hopefully when  you meet the right person.. i mena the absolutely right person for you….. they should know  the real you… 

Anyway… it’s a shame the actress in the movie(little black book)  died.( in real life). She seemed like she had so much life to live… and parts to play…. I think she even had two small children…

see.. this is where i get a bit confused as to a “just God”…. why did she die.. when stinky criminals and bullies are allowed to prowel around the earth and wreck lives?  Doesn’t make sense….  but somehow i still believe… and i still pray… and i still think that everyone has the right to a fairy book…. fairy tale….. happily ever after life…..

So even though my valentines day started out nice… up early making heart shaped sugar cookies.. and even getting a nice email for my mom…. so i invited her( via email) over for dinner and a movie… so she wouldn’t have to spend the evening alone… but then of course the evil little parasites/slime… sscummm of the earth… bullies… gosh, what shall i call these little  boys and girls  this time? …. hopefully soon i will be able to call them broke from the  lawsuit to which the damages to my life are enormous…. and soon i can call them incarcerated…. to which is where they belong…. in jail….. but for now.. they are worthless less than human beings who ruined another holiday out of 7 years of holidays… and made me cry….and ruined even a simple gesture of gratitude toward my mother and to a nice  valentines day…..but then this whole bully thing started with my aunt Fran Bodnars visit here to Naples Florida…( last week)  and manipulations started  where i missed a dinner at the ritz… a movie… at the Silverspot… and now valentines day… an yet they were so wonderful to inflict emotional distress… and cause emotional pain and suffering…. sweet aren’t they?… just the  type of girls and boys you would want to marry some day… right….to have as your best friends…? UGGGGGG ….by 11pm i was emailing Gloria Fletcher with the emails i sent and the bully information….

anyway… speaking of Gloria.. and then thinking of valentines day….on a much brighter note… Jena Bush did an interview of her grandparents that i found very moving and so very romantic… it was based on their love letters…
their were even tears involved… what a great family and so nice to know that Laura bush.. and i believe both of the daughters are also Kappa Alpha Thetas….. see, great people come from great sororities!   back to the ideas of love letters… i just  think they are so wonderful.. the details you can use… the length you can make them as compared to an email or text… they truly express ones soul and can mean so much to the receiver… i remember at boarding school getting letters from  my family  who were still in Saudi…. and from my friends at other boarding schools….just knowing that they cared enough to write and tell you they love you.. to remember all the holidays..  with cards… and the letters of daily life that i was missing….when i went to school in france… i had letters form so many people wanting to make sure that i wasn’t lonely… and was doing great….. ( if they  only knew i was having the time of my life….HA! i can’t remember  if i was even able to write back to everyone…if only thy had had email back then…..HA!)  then in college.. and after when i was dating Cameron nice… his letters from  his travels backpacking…( his  mom even  once called me to ask how he was doing since she hadn’t received a letter in a while.).. the plans you can outline.. it was a sheer joy to get all of those letters…I think the art of letter writing.. and of  journal writing  are really underrated… and make such wonderful excerpts into a person’s life and into a person’s soul….. anyway hope tons of people got beautiful love letters for valentines day…  maybe by next year.. if eharmony works or by chance i get o meet a great and wonderful billionaire who just  so happens to like me for me… and like me for real…. i can have a much better valentines day….

another reason i just really like the social network…. the idea that one idea… can make the difference in creating a business/ product… or a billion dollar business… that this small group of friends were able to take on all the  established big people… who were supposed to be really important…( guess i always want the person who has to fight  against the bullies.. to win…!!!!)….maybe i take it a bit personally….

Hi i have a few questons for my blog: www.mygingerbreadman.com.  I have been getting a ton of comments that have no reference to the material i have posted.  I am worried that my blog may be compromised and /or the people reading the posts may be viewing alternate information?  Is this possible?  Can you check on the posts of the infant of prague novena, on the post for an eharmony description of my sisters, and let me know if anyting additional is showing for those dates or any others?  I was threatened over the phone that this person on the phone can do anything they wanted to my website and to my blog posts.. and i coundn’t protect myself or my ideasor my post entries.  Since i am the owner of the domain name and the blog i need to make sure that no hackers/bullies or someone thinking they are playing some mean and vicious prank or trick are allowed to harm me or my infortion or  my blog posts. Please verify that this is not the case. 

I also want to change my settings so that not even the post information is show cased on the side of the blog entires.  How can i go about doing that? All the crazy posts that have nothig to do with my blog/and their email writers are showing up on the side of my posts and i dont want them to show at all unless i have approved them. So far i have not approved any of them for viewing.  I even emailed one of the email address to question their comment and it came back to me as a nonexistant email.  Help!

Thank you for your kind attention in this matter,
Sincerely, Mary Jean ziska

 So when watching the movie.. the social network…. few thoughts

So what the twins could have done to protect their ideas?…
*noncompete contract/ i know i created a contaract that we had all or employees and potential employees sign.. the one situation i didnt know how to protect…if someone other than the person signing  the paperwork wanted to start a business or wanted to steal any paperwork for someoene else..to create a similar business… steal unique ideas… or even steal clients… I  was wondering how to protect a busness from such thievery?….   

*written idea…plan.. detail of ideas….of  intellectual property…



so what else needs to be done to  protect intellectual property?


when would a  patent lawyer….be helpful?  or what type of lawyer would  cover all the necessary conditions for ideas/ and buisness practices to be protected? 


other nice thoughts:

I like this line… (i’ve paraphrased  it from the movie): 
harvard garaduates… believe  inventing a  job is better than getting a  job.. 

also  I remember this documentary…a special from msmbc… about harvard business school where a description of the benefits…of a harvard education… of busiess school… of  being taught to find soultions to problems… the process of finding soltutions… being the key ingredient  to finding solutions in life… a woman credited her survival of cancer to the ability to find a solution…. creating a foundaton that was then able to  do more in the research field…and the ablility to combine all the research that existed…thus helping to find a way to prolong her life…. amazing what the right education… the richt resources and teh right contacts can do !
