This is one of those things that could only happen to me. Or maybe, I’m just the only person without enough sense to keep it to myself. – but I have to tell someone – so why not tell everyone? (And, yes, this is how my brain works.) So, I’m at my computer and I pick…

So, of course, I watched all of Bridgerton.  I don’t love it as much as the first season – I mean, once you have the solid romance-novel plot – there are not a lot in the way of surprises.  But I still like it a lot.  If nothing else, the costumes (and wigs) are to…

After a certain age, it’s patch, patch, patch and I have been doing my share of patching of late. Got my second shingles (Shingrex) vaccine.  Happy to report, this time I got to skip the myriad of side effects I had with the first shot (when I had ALL the side effects – including a…

One of my favorites.  Easy, tasty, and the leftovers are great too. BEEF TAQUITO CASSEROLE 10 oz bag frozen rice (1 ½ C cooked rice) 12 oz bag frozen corn 15 oz can black beans, drained, rinsed 1 oz env taco seasoning mix 10 oz mild enchilada sauce 2 C finely shredded Mexican cheese blend…

Around a year or so ago, I took a video class through CarePoint (a local organization that offers free classes of various sorts to women going through any stage of breast cancer – if you live in the Silicon Valley and have or had breast cancer, they are a tremendous resource and I urge you…

I am on a Ramen kick. Nom, nom, nom. It’s my go-to lunch during the week.  I don’t do the spicy kind.  Just plain ol’ chicken Ramen. I never really thought about what is in it. I really don’t ever want to think about what is in any of the food I am ingesting.  If…

This is how dumb I can be. Last week, my legs suddenly started hurting a lot. It started with leg cramps waking me up in the wee hours – the kind of leg cramps where the spasming muscle will not release no matter what you do?  So painful. And after that my legs were so…

Okay, the back pain, spasms, etc. that I had (for months) last year are back for a repeat performance on the let’s make This Fat Old Lady’s Life a Misery Tour. I had x-rays done and they sent me the results the same day.  Great.  Except, who the fuck understands this shit?  Seems like there’s…

WTF happened to this show?  I know it’s hard to find employees these days, but really?  These were the writers that they could get?  The acting is mostly fine but the writing. Dear God (TIDBI).  And did they just ditch the legal consultants?  After so many years working in law offices, I have a rudimentary…

That’s the saying – The more things change the more they stay the same.  Right? So here I am, once again, with the same ol’ same ol’ “back” pain.  Just like last year. Except, just like last year, it’s not really my back – it’s more the right side at and above the waist; which…
