Hi ladies,
I didn't want to cover up Meredith's beautiful story, so I chose this section to share my good news. I've been picked up by a new national magazine as their humor colunnist. The magazine is called BOOMER. Appropriate, eh? The first issue will hit the streets January 1. Lots of work for them between now and January.

These are some of the nicest people. I know I'm going to love being associated with them. They truly have treated me like a Queen.

When they get their web page activated, I'll give you the link. Right now it just advertises the upcoming debut.

I just wanted to share my good news with you all. I am so blessed!

Just in case anyone is wondering, yes...I'm still working for the Dotster....I will work for her until she runs me off. I LOVE working for NABBW and BWS. Dotsie also treats me like royalty. Some times I have to pinch myself to believe how fortunate I am.

JJ

Wow, can't wait!! How exciting. Will you remember us when you're as famous as Erma?

Are you kidding me? How could I ever forget .... ah.... forget ---hmm...and you are? Remember, I'm old.

I knew you'd be discovered ! I just knew it! That's wonderful news, JJ. You'll raise their quotes for sure!
Best of luck to you in your BIG career world.

Awesome news, JJ. You're rocketing your way to success. Way to go!! Everybody get out of her way, she's on the move!

Well Queen JJ as the saying goes, "as you sow, so shall you reap." You are treated like a Queen for two reasons, you behave like a Queen always, and treat all of those around you like royalty. You are headed for fame and fortune for sure. Congratulations!

YEHEY!!! Way to go, JJ. Now, how and where do I send the bubbly?

Yay JJ!! That is so awesome! We will never let you leave
this group LOL : )

Congrats!!! I'm so proud for you. Okay...I want a signed copy of your first edition. How exciting!!! I can't wait to see how all this works out for you. I'd be doing the Funky Chicken in my kitchen....whoo-hoo.

That's so awesome!! Way to go Queenie!!

Louisa

Congratulations JawJaw!

That's very wonderful and exciting news!!

Donna

Big congratulations. Way to make your dreams come true! Keep it up! And, ALL that jazz.

I've been gone to "Momma's" for a few days and you girls are making me blush. There is no way I would ever leave this forum....You are too important to me.

Donna, I LOVE that picture of you! Wow...that's new to me. You must have done that while I was out of town. You go girl!

Thank you all for the kind words...it's because of YOU that I feel like a Queen.

JJ

this is great news!!!

can I come out of the moat for awhile to celebrate? can I, huh?huh?

(shrug...worth a try.....)

Aren't we proud of our queen? Is she going places or what?

I just thought I'd let you know that they found her through the NABBW Web site. I have to share this becasue that was my intent for the associates and members. If one Googles baby boomer women, BWS and/or NABBW are at the very top of all search engines. This allows people to find us easily.

Jj, congratulations. And same to you dotsie. You both are achieving and accomplishing as boomers!

Congratulations Jaw Jaw, when does it hit the street!

I am so excited for you JJ. I just love that this is happening to you. You've worked hard and you deserve it! Woooo Hooooo!

I love you alot!

Cheers,
Cathi

JJ, that is super news! Congratulations on being named the humor columnist for BOOMER. I can hardly wait to read the first issue. Best of luck in this endeavor...you deserve it!

As I suspected, royalty is always national. Great news. Please remind us January 1st.

Hi JawJaw,

I'm just catching up on reading posts and I wanted to congratulate you on your new gig - you'll be awesome!!

I've been complaining about not having enough mags to represent we boomer babes. Can't wait to see the premium issue.

Congrats Again!!

Now, that's good news!

Totally awesome. Give's us some encouragement too!

Thanks JJ

Thank you again ladies, you continue to warm my soul. What would I do without you? JJ

I just saw this and wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS!!! Do they have the website up yet?

Nope, not yet. But soon! You'll hear me shouting from the rooftops. I'm waiting with baited breath! No wait...that was the onions I had for dinner...hmmm...

Thanks for the kudos!

Congratulations! It's nice to read good news such as yours - very inspiring!

I just realized I never read this post because it happened in the middle of my extended "whatevers."

Congrats Jawjaw! I'm looking forward to the link.

The next Erma Bombeck. So happy for you JJ. Can't think of a woman who deserves it more. We're proud of you.
