As you may (or may not) know, I am an atheist and have been for quite a while. That has never stopped me from singing/performing at churches.  My one rule, however, is that the church must not participate or condone discrimination.  That rule eliminates a disappointing number of churches. While living in Los Angeles, I…

Anyone with cats knows that cats have an affinity to odd things.  I mean besides their affinity to cat people which you must admit tends to be an odd lot. I have had cats who love Spaghettios, jello, tomato sauce, banana popsicles, Ben Gay, anti-biotic gel.  Many cats have a strange attraction and love affair…

If you are thinking of doing any kind of performance art form, you will benefit from learning and learning and more learning. Acting?  Standup?  Improv?  Watch people.  Watch them in life, watch them on TV, watch them in movies.  Figure out how they convey what is going on physically.  Listen to people.  Listen to accents,…

No, I’m not talking about me – at least, not any longer. My easy and delicious days are far behind me. Dinner tonight was a new recipe; and it is going immediately into my “Rotation Recipe” file.  This was so easy, so delicious, and is a one-pan meal.  (And the whole thing takes less than…

There are a number of things regarding fat life and fat community that I could write about, but to tell the truth, I’m just not in the mood for something serious.  So off I go to my Pinterest boards to see what might bring a smile to my (and hopefully, your) face.  And there she…

I know I’ve written about Kitsch before but scanning in photos, I (finally) found my favorite photo of her and felt she needed an encore. Kitsch was a teensy little tortie.  An ugly or useless piece of art.  It suited her because she was a little goofy looking, often not useful, and a total piece…

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…
