I agree. Jealousy is a very serious illness. These persons have no self
value feeling. They act like angry childs, destroy everything and have a
miserable life. Very negative persons, indeed!
I feel sorry for our beloved Betty MacDonald because there was lots of jealousy in her life.
You can find comments of other writers for example:
Betty
MacDonald only wrote about herself and boring chickens. I can't
understand the reason why THE EGG AND I is so successful.
It's so typical for jealous persons.
I'd like to change this sad subject now.
We'll have several International Betty MacDonald fan club events in 2016.
Join us in voting for your favourite city, please.
I'd like to vote for Seattle.
Don't miss this video, please.
You can see brilliant Brad Craft.

Seems I'm in this for a hot second. I remember being asked to participate one day on the street in front of the bookstore where I work. I didn't think to ask what it was for, or even so much as the name of the song or the band. Didn't want to be late coming back from lunch. Silly bugger. The very nice young woman with the green hair also featured herein happens to work at Magus Books. She mentioned she'd seen me. Told me the name of the band, and here we are.
I bet Betty MacDonald fan club honor member Mr. Tigerli adores our new Betty MacDonald fan club honor member.
I've read some of Tatjana Geßler's books and I like them very much.We are so happy that Betty MacDonald fan club honor member Mr. Tigerli is back.
Let's have breakfast at the bookstore with Brad and Nick.
Enjoy Betty MacDonald's very beautiful Vashon Island, please.Take care,
Inga
Don't miss this very special book, please.

Brussels attack: Surveillance footage, cab driver offer clues in investigation
Updated 0056 GMT (0856 HKT) March 23, 2016 | Video Source: CNN
Story highlights
- A taxi driver tips off authorities after seeing surveillance footage
- Prosecutor: Of three men pushing airport luggage carts in photos, two are probable suicide attackers and one is at large
- Two explosions rock Brussels Airport, another rips through a subway station in the Belgian capital
(CNN)In
a grainy image from surveillance footage, he's a man dressed in
light-colored clothes, wearing a hat and pushing a baggage cart through
the Brussels Airport.
It's one
key piece of evidence authorities are looking at as they search for
suspects after two explosions at the airport and another at a busy metro
station in the Belgian capital Tuesday killed at least 30 people and
wounded 230 others.
ISIS claimed
responsibility for the coordinated attacks, but authorities said it's
too soon to say for sure whether the terror group was behind the blasts.
Belgian authorities say the man in white is one of three suspects tied to the airport attack.
The
other two died in the explosions, Belgian Interior Minister Jan Jambon
told CNN. But investigators believe the man in white planted a bomb at
the airport, then left.
"The third man left a bomb in the airport, but it didn't explode. ... And we are now looking for this guy," Jambon said.
A photograph released by investigators shows the three suspects side-by-side.
Federal Prosecutor Frederic Van Leeuw said the two men wearing black in the photograph were likely the suicide attackers.
Video
shows the men exiting a taxi and moving through the airport, according
to two U.S. officials. The man dressed in white left the airport after
accompanying the other two, they said -- a move the officials said
appeared to be planned.
Taxi driver tips off investigators
A break in the investigation may have come from a taxi driver who took the suspects to the airport.
The
driver contacted authorities after seeing surveillance footage and gave
them the address where he picked the men up, according to two U.S.
officials briefed on the investigation.
That information prompted authorities to raid the residence after the attacks, the officials said.
Several
witnesses told CNN they had seen police special forces combing through
the northeast Brussels neighborhood of Schaerbeek, cordoning off a train
station there.
Investigators found a
nail bomb, chemical products and an ISIS flag during a house search in
the neighborhood, Belgium's federal prosecutor said in a statement.
Ties to Paris attacks?
A
Belgian government representative told CNN that 10 people were killed
and 100 wounded at Brussels' international airport. At least 20 people
died and 130 were wounded at the Maelbeek metro station, officials said.
The blasts sent wounded people
fleeing into the streets, spurred evacuations of nuclear plants and
transit hubs and led to raids in some areas as authorities searched for
suspects and evidence.
Authorities
in Belgium have been trying to crack down on terror threats for months
as they raided homes in the area in search of suspects. Tuesday's
violence came just days after investigators closed in on Europe's most
wanted man, Paris attacks suspect Salah Abdeslam, who was hiding out in a
Brussels suburb.
The "working assumption" is that the attackers came from the network behind November's massacres in Paris,
which left 130 dead, Belgian security sources said, while cautioning it
is very early in the latest investigation. ISIS also claimed
responsibility for those attacks.
As doctors treat the wounded and
authorities search for suspects, a key question remains unanswered:
Could the attacks have anything to do with Abdeslam's arrest?
On
Tuesday, Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel deflected a question
about whether there is any link between the attacks and the Belgium-born
French citizen's capture, saying it is too early to tell.
Michel
said Tuesday he had "no information" about who was responsible for the
attack, adding that authorities will find that out, but now their focus
is on caring for the victims.
Two senior U.S. officials told CNN they believe the Belgium attack is tied to the same network as Abdeslam.
'We were fearing terrorist attacks'
One
of the two airport explosions happened outside security checkpoints for
ticketed passengers and near the airline check-in counters, an airline
official briefed on the situation said.
The
subway station blast happened about an hour later in the Brussels
district of Maelbeek, near the European Quarter, where European Union
institutions are based.
"We were fearing terrorist attacks," Michel told reporters Tuesday. "And that has now happened."
Belgium is no stranger to terror.
"The Belgians have been sitting on a ticking time bomb," a U.S.
counterterrorism official said, given all those who have traveled from
the small European nation to Syria and Iraq to join ISIS, then possibly come back home.
But
for survivors of Tuesday's blasts, the repeated warnings from officials
in recent months didn't dull the shock of seeing the carnage.
"You
cannot believe it; you cannot believe it," said Jef Versele, who was in
the airport's departure hall when bombs exploded there. "It was so
insane. Not in my backyard."
The second blast inside the airport blew out windows, created a lot of smoke and caused parts of the ceiling to fall, he added.
"People
were on the floor," Versele said, estimating he saw 50 to 60 who were
thrown to the ground and didn't seem to be able to walk.
Anthony
Barrett saw the wounded carried out on stretchers and luggage carts as
he watched from his hotel across from the terminal building.
"I could see people fleeing," he said.
'We remain united'
After
the attacks in Brussels, the home of NATO and the capital of the
European Union, leaders inside Belgium and beyond vowed not to back down
in their fight against terror.
In
Belgium, where officials declared three days of national mourning,
Michel offered a resolute message to those who supported and cheered the
attackers.
"To those who have chosen
to be barbarous enemies of freedom, democracy and fundamental values ...
we remain united as one," Michel said. "We are determined to defend our
freedoms and to protect our liberties."
In
its message claiming responsibility, ISIS noted that Belgium is one of
the nations "participating in the international coalition against the
Islamic State."
A Twitter post widely circulated by prominent ISIS backers Tuesday featured the words, "What will be coming is worse."
