I have sleep apnea. I was diagnosed 6 years ago. I use a CPAP. I’ve used it for 6 years. Me and my CPAP are very happy together. Until last night, when it suddenly died – as in blinking the message “Needs Service” and refusing to turn on – at all. On a Thursday night,…
What is The Fat One? It’s a YouTube rom-com series about a fat woman (Kate) – not plump, curvy, or fluffy – fat. The Fat One – Episode 1 – The “F” Word She has friends and experiences – friends that aren’t perfect looking or acting (you know, like real people), experiences that are…
I am not a fan of Chris Christie or Donald Trump. There are many reasons to not be a fan or either of these men; but their bodies are not among them. My issues with Chris Christie and Donald Trump have nothing to do with their weight or physical build. Therefore, my comments (humorous…
If you know me at all, you know that I am, in a word, vulgar. No problem … I am who I am and, furthermore, I like who I am. So imagine my disappointment to realize that something I have been saying for years turns out to be open to a “rude, indecent, indelicate,…
My darling husband decided we needed to upgrade our cable equipment. He wasn’t wrong. Our equipment is very old (and yes, this is true of us personally as well as the cable company equipment – but cable company upgrades to equipment are free).

So I’m in rehearsal for a production of 1776 (playing Ben Franklin), and the head of the cane I am using has developed an alarming wobble. In fact, if you pull on the head of the cane, it comes right off. I checked with our illustrious prop lady (Ruthe) and she assured me…
Particularly proud of myself tonight. The toilet in my bathroom kept running, stopping, running, ad infinitum. Argh. This toilet has been such a pain in the ass. Always something not working right. And of course, it isn’t easy to get to because I, in my questionable wisdom, put an over-the-toilet space saver over the…
No, I don’t think I have a cold. The problem is I was at the set shop (1776) today and I have a mega snoot full of sawdust, paint dust, and spackle dust. Kudos to Jeffrey, king of the shop, for keeping us all productive doing things within each person’s abilities. For me that…
I was on my way to Dollar Tree (LOVE $Tree) this morning. It’s been chilly and wet, but since we’re in Northern California, you know it’s not too bad. Still … There’s a homeless guy and his dog, sharing a sleeping bag under awning of an empty storefront. Not begging, just hanging, and I…
Tonight my husband and I went to see a screening of Kevin Smith’s latest film, Yoga Hosers. We are both long time Kevin Smith fans. We listen regularly to podcasts Fat Man on Batman and Hollywood Babble-on, as well as Kevin Smith adjacent Tell ‘em Steve Dave. We used to listen to Smodcast, but we’re…
