Anybody need/want a curly scarf? For as long as I have been seeing these things, I have been intrigued by curly/frilly scarves. When I was at BayCon (our local science fiction convention) last year, I went to a crafting workshop to learn how to do amigurami, and while waiting for the workshop to start, the…
What the ocean was like. What the ocean felt like to me. I learned a big lesson on my recent vacation – the ocean is no place for a fat old lady’s ass. The waves were a little stronger than usual, but I waded out anyhow. I was fine until one extra fierce wave hit…
The itsy bitsy spider was in my bed last night He wandered down my leg and took more than one bite. Now the itsy bitsy spider is underneath my bed And if the cats would do their job that fucker would be dead. I’m allergic to spider bites (in fact most insect bites),…
Question: Is there an existing organization, place, or group where fat people and those who support them can unite to improve the lives of fat people? I envision a place where fat people are encouraged to live their best possible lives where and who they are now. I envision a place where all fat people…

Looking for a fun, kind of sweet and off-center movie? Give The Grand Budapest Hotel a try. It has a little bit of everything. The cast is a who’s who of people you want to see in movies – and you don’t even notice until you read the credits at the end. All these famous…
Okay – not really. I mean, I’m not happy that our old blind cat Salem is sick. However, I am tickled that we have a diagnosis. Salem has had a lifetime of health issues (particularly with his eyes, hence our old blind cat); but it was always vague and we could never get a diagnosis…
I have a favorite supermarket – Lucky. It’s not the greatest supermarket; the selection isn’t amazing; the prices aren’t mind blowing; and parking is usually pretty good. It is convenient and it is familiar. I also like the checkers and the baggers – bunch of nice people. However, it seems like my Lucky store wants…
I have said it before, and I’ll repeat it (not that it bears repeating), I am not on the cutting edge of anything; which is why we are just now watching The Heat, starring Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy (two of my favorite actors). Holy crap, y’all. I LOVE this movie. If you have not…
