THIS FAT OLD LADY HAS A QUESTION FOR PUTIN

I open up Yahoo this morning and there’s this picture of Putin in a mini-sub that is (supposedly) headed down to the bottom of the Black Sea. Okay. Don’t know why that is so exciting but fine. Whatever. But I have one question – to the right of Putin’s head – is that a roll…

THIS FAT OLD LADY NEEDS A FAVOR

Could someone please have a talk with your deity of choice about the weather here in San Jose? It’s just too flipping hot. I HATE hot weather. I’m not a huge fan of cold weather, but if you are cold, you can put something more on. When it’s hot, you can only take so much…

THIS FAT OLD LADY IS FEELING BLOG BLOCKED

I keep wanting to blog. I keep getting ready to blog. And then …. I don’t. I don’t know why. I have stuff to blog about. I just can’t get my fingers to cooperate and type it out. So it’s not like writer’s block, but my fingers are writing blocking me. So I’m trying to…

THIS FAT OLD LADY SOLVES THE FLOODS AND DROUGHTS

You probably know that California is in the midst of a terrible drought and Texas is pretty much under water. What to do? Well, remember that pipeline the oil companies wanted to put across the country to carry oil from Canada all the way down to Texas (because what could possible go wrong with that)?…

THIS FAT OLD LADY’S TALE OF TWO RICHARDS

  It was the best of times, it was the worst of times … okay, it was just the best of times. A dear friend from Los Angeles was up in my area and called to get together. As if this wasn’t fun enough, he was accompanied by his dear friend from Australia! Someone I…

THIS FAT OLD LADY IS GETS A PRECIOUS GIFT

Cousin Alice and this fat old lady! My birthday happened. It was a good day. I was so touched by all the greetings and good wishes by all of my friends and family. At my (advanced) age, birthdays are not really about receiving gifts. But my friends Storm and Kristopher got me a Kindle book…
