I know I’ve been MIA for awhile. My sister-in-law Elise passed away.  Elise and I had a complicated relationship; and I only hope she is finally at peace and her suffering is done. I went to New Jersey to close out Elise’s apartment and commence probate.  I did this because I love my husband and…

Okay. Who did it? Just tell me. And remember what your mother told you (or should have told you) – you’ll only make it worse if you lie. One of my posts on This Fat Old Lady page on Facebook got pulled! WT actual F. Facebook was kind enough to send me a copy of…

Don’t you hate when you predict the future and your prediction turns out to be 100% accurate? My doctor gave me a business card for a therapist and it has resided safely in my purse for a week. Every time I thought to call and make an appointment, the card was safely in my purse…

I’ve been so excited at the prospect of this new addition to my ce-ment doggo’s celebration of holidays!

In my (mostly misspent) youth, I used to dye my own hair. Mostly varying L’Oreal red shades because, yes, I am definitely worth it. Back then, I had hair almost to my waist, and it took 2 packages to get it all dyed. Now, my hair is shorn, and in its natural state almost totally…

This is how amazing my husband’s memory is, especially when it comes to music. Having been big fans of @Midnight, we are now watching the reborn version @fter Midnight on CBS. Directly following the show (we watch recorded episodes, because old farts like us don’t stay up until after midnight for anything), is the local…

As I’ve been humble bragging for some time, I go to water aerobic classes up to 5 times a week.  I’ve always been a water baby.  When I was a kid my parents couldn’t get me out of the water (lake, creek or pool).  I would stand there with blue lips, teeth rattling shivers, and…

There is a life insurance ad where the family of the deceased (“Mom”) are frantically searching everywhere to find “Mom’s” life insurance policy. The ad goes on to suggest that you immediately apply to XYZ insurance company to avoid this happening to your children. How is that going to help your kids find an insurance…

Any of you remember when I first retired? Remember how I said I could only deal with handling one thing a day. One thing. Then I’m done. Yeah. That lasted. I now try to go to water aerobics 5 times a week. Two of those classes are at 8:30 a.m. And I do all of…
