Do not tell me global warming is not real or “questionable”. I have now lived in San Jose for over 20 years and summers never used to be this hot. You’d get a few days in a row of really hot weather a few times each summer and that would be it. Now it…
Every year, we get June bugs. Lots of them. It’s gross, but they stay on their side of the screen and we stay on our side. For some reason, this year we have July/August bugs; and somehow, one got through to the wrong side of the screen. Crafty little fucker. Our orange tabby…
vs. Do you ever have those flashes about something bad happening just before it happens? Something that has never happened before, and yet, you can picture it happening – and then it is part of your reality? Kind of spooky, huh? Well, I’m petting our orange cat Murphy. Murphy is lying…
I went for almost 2 years without a haircut. I hate to admit it, but this isn’t all that unusual for me. When it comes to my hair, I’m not much of a girly-girl. I don’t know what to do with it, so I want it in a style that I can get by…
It’s true. I have no idea how it happened. I went to McDonalds to pick up dinner for us, and I didn’t order fries! I didn’t even think about ordering fries. It did not even occur to me that I had been to McDonalds and left without ordering fries until I got home and…
A recent “study” is all over the news this week. http://www.pulseheadlines.com/artificial-sweeteners-lose-weight-linked-overweight-diabetes/65287/ “Artificial Sweeteners Makes you Fatter” (Okay, I’m paraphrasing … but that’s the gist of it.) So I look at the abstract for the study (because no, I’m not shelling out money to read the whole thing, which I probably wouldn’t understand anyhow): http://www.cmaj.ca/content/189/28/E929.abstract And…
I have sleep apnea. I was diagnosed 6 years ago. I use a CPAP. I’ve used it for 6 years. Me and my CPAP are very happy together. Until last night, when it suddenly died – as in blinking the message “Needs Service” and refusing to turn on – at all. On a Thursday night,…
What is The Fat One? It’s a YouTube rom-com series about a fat woman (Kate) – not plump, curvy, or fluffy – fat. The Fat One – Episode 1 – The “F” Word She has friends and experiences – friends that aren’t perfect looking or acting (you know, like real people), experiences that are…
I am not a fan of Chris Christie or Donald Trump. There are many reasons to not be a fan or either of these men; but their bodies are not among them. My issues with Chris Christie and Donald Trump have nothing to do with their weight or physical build. Therefore, my comments (humorous…
If you know me at all, you know that I am, in a word, vulgar. No problem … I am who I am and, furthermore, I like who I am. So imagine my disappointment to realize that something I have been saying for years turns out to be open to a “rude, indecent, indelicate,…
My darling husband decided we needed to upgrade our cable equipment. He wasn’t wrong. Our equipment is very old (and yes, this is true of us personally as well as the cable company equipment – but cable company upgrades to equipment are free). So he unhooked everything, and I took my silly ass down…
So I’m in rehearsal for a production of 1776 (playing Ben Franklin), and the head of the cane I am using has developed an alarming wobble. In fact, if you pull on the head of the cane, it comes right off. I checked with our illustrious prop lady (Ruthe) and she assured me…
