Many people love Oprah Winfrey. I respect and admire the woman; but I don’t love her. I don’t love her because Oprah Winfrey does not love herself. Oprah has spent a lifetime battling her own body. She is the queen of weight recycling, and body (self) hatred. Being the boss of her own underpants, that…
What I think my chair dancing will be like! What my chair dancing actually looks like (and yes, that is me, about 20 or so years ago, in a crazy show called Bloodlines – PRETTY!) My healthcare consultant suggested that I check out “chair dancing” as a way for exercising. That’s chair dancing – not…
Well, actually, I did just throw up in my mouth a little bit when I saw this article. Oh boy, we now have a whole group of “Fat Concern Trolls,” getting together to help fatties like me to live with our chronic “disease” of obesity. Let me make this clear – FUCK YOU!!!!!!!! Is obesity…
Michigan is in the news! And it’s good news – sort of. Michigan is the only state in the United States that has head lice that have not mutated and become resistant to over-the-counter treatments! Um. Whoo-hoo? Seems that head lice in a lot of states have become resistant to pyrethroids, the active ingredient in…
Or at least, they saved my face! It’s morning, I have had a sip of coffee, but (obviously) not enough caffeine to get the morning dust bunnies out of my head. I lean over to pick up my sweater from the kitchen chair – and WHAM …. I jam my face (more particularly my left…

I like shredded wheat cereal – especially the little bite-sized frosted kind. Yum. However, I recently learned that this breakfast can be fraught with danger – if you have to sneeze. When you eat shredded wheat cereal, unless you wash it down with a liberal dose of whatever morning beverage you prefer (in my case,…
Alcohol used to be my drug of choice. You can see how well that was working for me! As I’ve mentioned before (and will surely mention again, because that’s how I am), I suffer from chronic depression. As part of my dealing with my depression, I take drugs. I am a firm believer of…
As I have mentioned before (I think – but you know, I’m an OLD fat lady, so forgetting is part of my “charm”), I hate going to the dentist. And yet I go often. Because I have inherited my mother’s crappy teeth, it behooves me to go for cleanings every 3 months instead of every…
I’m sure I’ve said this before, but it bears repeating. Every body is a good body. It’s true. Even if parts of your body don’t work as well as you would wish, or as well as they used to, every day your body does amazing things. Take an anatomy class, you’ll be blown away to…
