Okay. Here’s the deal. I suffer from chronic depression and anxiety (not to mention intermittent crabbiness, grouchiness and just plain old bitchiness). I was recently been transferred from Kaiser’s adult psychiatry department to its geriatric psychiatry department. The main difference in the departments is with adult psychiatry you see or talk with a psychiatrist. In…

This is a long one folks. Flying while fat can be fraught with it’s own set of problems. Add on flying while old and it’s a whole new ballgame. Then you can add on flying during a pandemic. And the fun just never starts. The large city airports are just that – large. They are…
The one good thing I can say about my mother marrying our stepfather Charlie is that he brought into our lives our cousins, Alice and Marilyn. The four of us spent a lot of time together growing up. A lot of that time was unsupervised and we had an inordinate amount of fun. Linda is…
Some of you have expressed concern as I seemingly disappeared off the face of the earth – or at least the face of the Internet. I was in Michigan. I went to Michigan for the wedding of my niece Hailee. I ended up not attending the wedding because I had what seemed like endless diarrhea…

Two local New Zealand cops Minogue and O’Leary, who are in no way versed in demon, werewolf, etc. lore, dealing with various sorts of paranormal…
Fucking Murphy. As Bill tells him, Murphy has “gentle brains”. He is an overall pleasant and mellow fellow. However, he has one major failing – June bugs. For some reason, in Northern California June bugs arrive in July. It is July. Our front door screen has a cat-attributable tear. June bugs are able to come…

Flying to and from Michigan soon. So excited to see everyone. HOWEVER, my rock (and personal handler), my husband Bill, won’t be going with me. That’s right, this fat old lady is going to be flying solo. I admit I’m a little nervous about COVID-19 and the variants, even though I am fully vaxxed and…
I was thinking about how many people were so unhappy during their school years – especially high school; and I started wondering how and why I got off so easy. I was a fat girl who played French horn, never wore makeup, was clueless about her hair, bit her nails to stubs and didn’t dress…
