I think many men might tell you that women have all the power. We get to decide when we have sex and when we didn’t have sex and with whom. Maybe that is old school or reflects thoughts from a long ago time. Maybe that was never a valid statement. Right now it feels like […]
Whoever said writing is easy—you just bleed all over the page—knew what they were talking about. I have been writing for a good ten years. I have had some great experiences, and I think my writing continues to improve. I took a few classes and enjoyed them. They gave me inspiration, but the actual process […]
A Remarkable Chain of Events I have written a lot about my divorce. It really cut me off at the knees and took me way longer to recover from than I think it should have. One of the hardest things was sharing my kids. Prior to the divorce, I was a stay at home mom […]
I have been working to reduce the amount of stuff I have in my possession. After Mom died, I got boxes of her stuff – dishes, sewing supplies, crochet and knitting supplies, and a long list of other things that reminded me of mom. When Dad died, I tried to keep less and I did […]

Imagine my surprise when I read this last week https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/articles/mcdonald-franchisee-reveals-secret-science-193023577.html . You don’t have to read it, but you should. It explains in delightful detail about why Diet […]
60. How the fuck did this happen? I mean really. How. The. Fuck. Did. This. Happen? I don’t repeat that because I like to swear. I repeat it because I am something I rarely am and that is speechless. One minute I was young, single, cute and weighed 125 pounds. In what seems like a […]
Conversations With My Brother 3/13/2024 Sister: Hello. I was just going to call you. Brother: Okay. I’m at the hospital. I broke my leg in two places in the middle of the night. My roommates didn’t hear me for a while and they finally woke up hours later and called 911. Sister. Totally speechless – […]
As I was perusing the news, I noticed that the woman on the famous Coldplay kisscam was on Oprah. As much as I love me some Oprah, I will not be tuning in. But, I do have an opinion to share on the matter. So, I thought, hmmmm. What is Mr Kisscam doing? Oh, he […]
