Doctors and researchers call it the “Obesity Paradox” when fat people do better than non-fat people in certain medical situations. I wish they would call it what it is – “Fat Protection” or “Fat Evolutionary Benefit Syndrome”.  There are simply times when being fat provides protection. Nobody seems to know why, and the researchers are…

My husband and I were watching one of our favorite TV shows – Ridiculousness and there was a video of a woman getting knocked to the floor – twice by a Great Dane. I commented, “Great Danes are assholes.” I happen to KNOW Great Danes are assholes because I had the dubious honor of having…

I have been in search of a good (read = fat old lady user friendly) vocal scrubber software.  It’s something you would use to create your own karaoke-like track from a CD.  Mind you, I don’t want to become a fucking sound engineer.  I just want to remove the vocal tracks from a song.  It’s…

I had the ultimate theater nightmare – only with a 2020 twist! (As if regular theater nightmares aren’t bad enough!) In my dream, I was really sick.  I was sure I had COVID-19. For some reason, I couldn’t call the theater (the Fischer Opera Haus – where I performed for years) and let them know…

We had an adventure this weekend. My husband likes to get some kind of exercise twice a day.  With the pandemic and with our weather being uncomfortably hot, he has cut back on doing his walking; and instead, he’s been doing cleaning around the house!  (I know y’all are jealous and you should be!) Well…

Sorry this is late; Friday just got away from me. Anyhow, I was scrolling through my Fat Art, Fat Figures, fat stuff boards on Pinterest and I decided to look at the one I have for Blakeinobi; and I decided he would be a great subject for a post. Blakeinobi’s actual name is Blake Eason;…

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.  When my Mom cooked she used every pot and pan in the house. For one meal. Today I cooked a casserole that was definitely a salute to my Mom’s methods of cooking. A 13×9 pan.  A bowl (to mix milk and soup) and a whisk and…

I don’t want to shame old people. I certainly don’t want to shame Jane Fonda in particular.  I’m not against wearing jewelry, of whatever nature. I’m just saying, maybe you want to look in a mirror; and make sure you are creating the effect you want. I saw this photo in an ad about best…

For the longest time, Neflix wouldn’t let me watch Pose.  I have no idea why.  Nor do I know why it is now letting me watch Pose. Usually, I tear through a series, binge watching as quickly as I can.  I cannot do this with Pose. I am not through Season 1 yet.  I have…

My ballot is in the mail today. My husband and I sat down and went through our ballots together, as we do each time we vote.  We have already spent time going through the various propositions on the ballot and discussing them – sometimes changing each other’s mind on whether to vote yes or no;…
