Right now, I feel like what isn’t fucked up. And I wish it was just limited to WTF Wednesday. But better minds than mine are telling you all about the fucked-uppiness of our world. And, sadly, so are some (much) worse minds than mine. That’s all I got.

I love Crocs. I know, some of y’all are shaking your heads with disappointment or perhaps outright disgust. Fuck you. Crocs are so damn comfortable. And when you are a fat old lady, comfort counts – a lot. They also come in a crazy number of styles. I have a bunch of different colored ballet…

One of the biggest dangers of the pandemic is hospitals being overwhelmed with cases and not having the necessary beds and equipment to handle patients. This can lead to the nightmare scenario of a doctor having to decide who does and does not have access to lifesaving equipment and treatments. It’s life or death. This…

THIS FAT OLD LADY’S TBT – THINGS I MISS WATCHING WITH GRANDMA My Grandma (Harris) and I clocked a lot of hours together watching TV. Between us just spending time over there, to the time when we were living there after my Mom’s divorce, back to just spending time there, to me living with her…
