Labor Days
May 19, 2011
Thanks to Newsweek, I now know that laughing gas is being touted as an aid during labor (the kind that ends in childbirth, rather than the kind that ends in a paycheck). This got me to thinking about my own labors, in 1975, 1976, and 1980. This was shortly after husbands began routinely appearing in […]
Life in the Fear-Free Lane
May 17, 2011
I hadn’t intended to start a blog. What I had intended to do was to write articles for women over 50, and to use humor to get my point across. When the opportunity to write for examiner.com, came up, this gave me a framework within which to write. I wrote my pieces, and after awhile, […]
My Psychic Menage-A-Trois
May 15, 2011
To celebrate my birthday, two friends (Roni and Susan) and I went to a psychic. This was no ordinary psychic. This was a psychic who had been on TV and who cavorted with other famous psychics and who was here for a one-time-only event. I was sold. Count me in and take my hard-earned […]
Bristol Palin:Plastic Surgery-ing With the Stars
May 12, 2011
In an attempt to quell the insidious rumors going around that she has had plastic surgery, Bristol Palin invited a reporter to her home inAlaska. “First off,” she started, this is absolutely, completely, 110% not true. I did not have plastic surgery. I had corrective jaw surgery. I did not want to have surgery. My doctor […]
Gotta Love Joisey
May 10, 2011
I’ve had several messages from the universe lately. Some people get messages from the universe about saving countries or leading their people to freedom or fighting for human rights. I’m not one of those people. Because I grew up in Phiadelphia, I get messages about New Jersey. I spent a lot of time at the […]
Young American Wisdom
May 7, 2011
Lucky me. The author of a new blog, www.youngamericanwisdom.com, commented on my post and so I checked her out. She quotes her kids, then riffs about the quote. This is a brilliant idea for a blog, and she does it so well. Check her out. (Note: I have received no compensation for this endorsement. Damn. )
The Person Whisperer
May 7, 2011
I’ve been sick for the past few days. My vocalizations have become quite unique. If Donald Trump’s hair could talk, this is the voice it would have. I do a lot of whispering, so as to protect pregnant women and small children. Here’s what I discovered: Whisper, and the world whispers with you. Reveal […]
Foreign Accent Syndrome
May 5, 2011
I have just been informed of something out there that is waiting to strike me down. Along with global warming, snakehead fish, killer bees, the IRS, and Donald Trump, I now fear FOREIGN ACCENT SYNDROME. According to the Today Show, Karen Butler, a woman from Oregon (Oregon, for god’s sake) went in for routine oral surgery […]

Communal Dressing Rooms: Where Dreams Go to Die
May 20, 2011

I’m just as evolved as the average woman. I’m smart, I’m funny, and I can sing “See You in September” backward. I paint, I write, I can still recite the entire introduction to the old TV show “Superman.” I’d say I have a pretty good self-image, except for two areas of life: finding myself at […]
