I got a message alert from my HMO (Kaiser) today. My immediate reaction is WTF now? You know it’s not going to be something to put a smile on my face. So I go to the website, login and see WTF they want now. Turns out they want a lot. First, they say it’s a…

I know this is supposed to be Theater Tuesday – but with the current lack of theater going on, sometimes, I just need a break and want to write about something that is happening. Like, what am I watching? And what have I watched. Watching – The stuff I watch with my husband is not…

THIS FAT OLD LADY’S FAT FRIDAY – SOOSH Can you believe it? Another artist who is new to me! Soosh! Snezhana Soosh – from the Urkaine, not to be confused with R. Soosh from Australia. Not only does Soosh do pencil drawings which often feature fat bodies, often the fat bodies are male! The series…
