Even though he’s on FaceBook and Instagram there is just not a lot of information about Edull Ardo.  What I know about him?  He’s from Brazil.  Searching for “fat art” his art is all over Pinterest including my Pinterest Board – edull/https://www.pinterest.com/terriweitze/fat-art-edull/.  There is a website listed on his FaceBook page, but it leads nowhere.…

I remember when my Mom decided that I was old enough to walk to school by myself.  I was all of 6 years old!  Yay me! I was so very, very proud of myself and the took the job entrusted to me (i.e., get my little butt to school without getting killed) quite seriously. I…

So, my husband and I are watching Ridiculousness – which is going to put us in a goofy giggly mood anyway, when an ad comes on for a shingles vaccine called Shingrix. Okay. First, you need to understand we watch commercials with the sound off – so this ad shows people doing everyday things –…

First, you may have noticed that I am struggling with a consistent title for Tuesdays. I know, I can’t believe that I’ve run out of theater stories already – okay, I haven’t, but I can never think of them come Tuesday. So any Tuesday blog fodder ideas that I can do in rotation with Theater…

In honor of the engagement of Chris Fernandez (my Herr Schultz) and his beloved Darrick Wingfield – The Pineapple Song which Chris and I performed last night at Chris and Darrick’s engagement party – a wonderful party for a truly wonderful couple! Congratulations! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6tJngxWJ60

A fat salon owner, Ray Lin Howard, was escorted by police from her flight on Alaska Airlines because, the airline (or rather a flight attendant) claims, she did not abide by their dress code.  https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/police-escorted-her-off-alaska-201811604.html I call bull shit.  And so do many other folks – and not just from the fat community. What Ray…

I used to hand write everything.  I loved writing.  I would write long (long) letters to friends and family.  And I loved my handwriting. I was scolded in school because I hold my pen the “wrong” way.  When I write (I am right-handed), I hold the pen with the thumb underneath (as does everyone) but…

Yes I know this is a day late; but when I first wrote it, it was more than 3 full pages long.  A cooling off period and some major editing was required – and now I’ve edited it and it’s 4 pages long!  Sorry, but I just could not contain myself. Read on, if you…

My advice to people who are looking to make friends is always – go volunteer at your local community theater.  I don’t care what your skills are; they will be happy to see you and happy to put you to work.  You don’t even have to set foot onstage, if you don’t want to –…
