My Husband Gave Me A Complex for Our Anniversary: A Guest Post by Lisa Tognola

May 31, 2013

11

Life in the Boomer Lane has a couple reasons she likes New Jersey.  One is that she spent her high school and college years cavorting in Atlantic City (It is entirely possible to sleep three people in a motel bathroom).  The other is Lisa Tognola, the author of Main Street Musings. Read her post and […]

Let’s Talk Boobs

July 11, 2012

67

Actually, let’s talk bras, even though they aren’t much fun to talk about. When we start wearing them, they are usually too big and they feel like alien beings have attached themselves to us.  Our first heavy make out sessions can involve young men who have seemed up until that point perfectly normal, with all […]

CSI: Realtor Edition

April 30, 2012

Aside from being a hoarding therapist or a burglar, there is only one profession that allows one to enter the deepest recesses of other people’s homes with complete abandon.  And, unlike the well-known hazards of the other two professions (being attacked by frenzied mammals or roaches/being sent to prison), there is little downside.  That profession is Realtor. This […]

Being Chanukah in A Christmas World

(The following is the fifth in my new series, “Old Posts to Dredge out on Slow Weekends Because When I Posted Them Originally People Cared More About the Economy and World Peace Than My Blog.” Although nothing has changed, it’s the start of a slow weekend.) When I was little, I wanted Christmas.  I didn’t care that […]

Christmas in London: Santa is Booked, But An Elf Might Be Available

November 24, 2011

22

It’s Thanksgiving and the best way to celebrate is to get in line now for all the “Black Friday Sales That Start on Thursday” sales. The second best way is to post this brilliantly reworked piece about Christmas in London and to hope that the people who read the inferior post  last year are too […]

The Secret Lives of Wives

October 7, 2011

Iris Krasnow’s new book, “The Secret Lives of Wives: Women Share What It Really Takes To Stay Married,” has hit the stands.  And, unlike this writer, the stands are sitting down to read it.   Krasnow estimates that about 70% of married women have considered leaving their spouses once a month, if not every six months.”  […]

Bring Me the Head of the Pope

May 26, 2011

32

Some years back, Now Husband Dan acquired, in a very interesting and not-for-public consumption way, a much-larger-than life-size exact replica of the head of Pope John Paul II.  The sculptor was a friend of his.  We are neither Catholic nor Big Head collectors.  For this reason,the larger-than-life-size likeness of a deceased pope’s head didn’t fit […]

Married to Mr Transportation

April 26, 2011

  Now Husband Dan is thoughtful, physically affectionate, and never ends a phone call without saying “I love you.” For the last week, we have been living about 20 minutes away from each other and communicating mostly via phone. I have been on Anna Maria Island, helping Joyce. Dan has been in our trailer mobile home […]
