I have been very depressed these last few days.  And now, I’m in a super bad mood.  All day. Everything gets on my nerves. And yes, I’m down to that one (precious) last nerve. Do not take this is as a personal challenge.

I decided to give this show a try; and it’s turned into a guilty – I don’t know – because it really isn’t a pleasure. The first episodes are worth watching just for the truly lousy “special effects”.  I swear, they must have had a budget of $1.50.  I couldn’t believe I’m watching a shot…

Twenty-five years ago today, I married my dear husband Bill. I am bummed that this milestone anniversary cannot be celebrated to any extent thanks to a pandemic.  I mean, come on, 25 years!  We got married in a leap year, and I offered to get married on 2/29 so that he would only be held…

I didn’t have anything new to report for fat Friday, so of course, I turn to the source of fat art joy – Pinterest, and I found a new artist!  Sabine Holik Holik works in paper mache; and I love the humor and joy represented in her round ladies.  I wish Holik’s fat folks had…

A while ago (fuck me if I remember when – it could have been last week for all I know), I posted about how when you get an injection, often the person giving that injection wants to pinch you first (and sometimes during). OW. I am very much against pre-injection pinching. There are (supposedly) some…

I like to read the advice columns.  Mostly I like to read them because I either get a kick out of the stupid stuff people write in about or I like to compare my thoughts on how to answer the various inquiries. Today’s Dear Abby was mostly the first (which, of course, are the most…

I am always on the hunt for new music to learn. Anytime you hear a song that really speaks to you, you might want to see if you can get your hands on the sheet music – because, if you’re like me, you’ll forget the name of the song when you eventually try to hunt…

A couple of years ago, we had a ductless HVAC system put in.  To install it, the contractors had to cut a square out of our cement patio for drainage next to the compressor.  For the next couple of years, I steadfastly ignored that hole in the patio.  It didn’t need to stay open –…

Despite what the latest headlines have been screaming at you, I would say – It depends. For one thing, it depends on what your definition of “fit” is.  So here’s a study that is only looking at two very specific things – BMI and cardiovascular disease (CVD).    https://doi.org/10.1093/eurjpc/zwaa151 And the researchers find In summary,…

From time to time, my Mom would make me things.  They were (and still are) each so special to me. One of my favorites is my Dammit Doll. It is a primitive triangular shaped blue cloth doll with white yarn hair and a silly little face.  But what is even better is it has a…
