Hey, I don’t want to get graphic, as telling the tale of what just occurred would require. Suffice it to say, there’s a new rule in my office. Anything that goes in your nose, stays in your nose.

Once upon just yesterday ago, there was a law to protect the people great and small from those who would rob them of their life savings and leave them destitute in their old age. You would not...

---

Saw my doctor this week. I like her, a lot. There was a possibility, though, that I was going to have to end our comfortable relationship of several years. It all depended on her answer to one qu...

---

It is a good thing that the young have no idea about growing older. It would scare the living shit out of them. Like many aging souls, I take a cornucopia of prescribed chemicals on a regular ba...

---

The trumpists are crowing. They are completely unconcerned that the man lies, doubles down on his lies, and has his spin meisters spewing “alternative facts” as though facts are subjective. Peo...

---

Honestly, before this particular election, as anyone who’s read me over these many years can attest, I never said word one about politics. I had faith that it would all work itself out and who ...

---

First off, let me say that I believe in regifting. It makes perfect sense for those people who aren’t really special but that you have an obligation to give something to anyway. As long as it’s...

---

It’s just damn rude. Every year at Christmas it happens. I don’t mind, really, when the kids and their moms drop off brightly wrapped packages of luscious home-made nibble nuggets. It’s a school...

---

More on the Donnal thing later - nice stuff actually. For now though… I need $500 for house insurance. I made over $400 at the craft fair last year and my stuff was nicer this year, so I thought...

I have a big entry in draft that I cannot finish. It is my attempt to sift out why I am so - and here, even, I cannot finish that sentence - I am that torn and jumbled. There is so much for me ...

I would have put this in the book “Boystories” because it is indeed a story about boys, but those are usually funny stories. This one is not. This one belongs in “Deplorable thoughts.” ////////...

Here is how close Donnal and I are not. Donnal’s second daughter, my niece Marie, is pregnant, very pregnant, eight and a half months into her second pregnancy to be near exact. It is a lovely t...

A popular television cat whisperer says that cats, especially housebound cats, need mental stimulation. Due to their curious natures and inborn hunting instinct, you should challenge them on a d...
