Bettina’s Hall of Shame
WHAT IS BED & BREAKFAST?
The term “bed & breakfast” has been garnering more and more excitement over the years. Every corporation, small business, mom and pop shop, wants to gain in their marketing and advertisement so they add things that are totally irrelevant to their businesses in the hope that you will be fooled into thinking they are “bed…

copyright 2015 Bettina Network, inc. One guest brought a problem to the breakfast table. She was late arriving and most people were ready to leave. Her agitated state made all of us stay and the resulting conversation, we felt, belonged on your blog. We deal with sexism in all ways and places. Mostly, we talk…
Read MoreThanks for the Sandra Bland blog
It is amazing how little there is about Sandra Bland in the major media outlets. What is there that I have heard talks about her committing suicide and whatever else negative could be found. I am sending this list, which I got from the FMF (Feminist Movement Foundation) newsletter. I think Sandra Bland needs to…
Read MoreDonald Trump? How to ruin a great breakfast!
A brief breakfast conversation, which most of us killed almost immediately, but not before several points were made: 1) While his first wife was working hard to help develop the Trump empire, the man was womanizing!

Conversations which changed my life and have…
Read MoreWas Susan Rice Used?
copyright Bettina Network, inc. – 2012 RICE = ROGERS = GUINIER. What do they have in common besides all being African Americans! Was yet another woman used? – misused? – abused? in this political process? Looks to us as though Ms. Rice’s name was thrown out and then reeled in to get the deal President…
Read MoreThe Brotherhood
copyright Bettia Network, inc. 2012 for Marceline Donaldson Today, the American Brotherhood is pulling in its antenna and licking its wounds. It will be interesting and very educational to see how they come back from the Sandusky Affair. Normally, the oppressed lose – especially in areas which re-enforce one or more of society’s isms. In…
Read MoreThe Royal Wedding at Breakfast
copyright Bettina Network, inc. 2011 Wouldn’t you know the Royal Wedding would not escape a Bettina breakfast table. It was a great and very funny discussion. Basically, how to cure the world’s ills using the 30 to 60 million dollars it is estimated will be the cost of this wedding. Homelessness, poverty, hunger, etc. could…
