The Good Wife Guide
December 16, 2012
The Ladies’ Homemaker Monthly , a popular journal that began about 100 years ago, provided women with rules to live by. Their motto was “You can judge a good woman by how many well-dressed children she has and the contentment of her husband.” The Good Wife Guide: 19 Rules for Keeping A Happy Husband is […]
Aging Facefully
December 5, 2012
A favorite activity of celeb mags, when they aren’t detailing Taylor Swift’s boyfriend du jour or the imminent break up and/or marriage of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, is to haul out photos of older actresses and to shriek “More beautiful than ever!” “Never ages!” “What is her Secret?” “These Older Actresses Get Hotter Every […]
Boomer Breasts and the State of the Planet
November 30, 2012
Boomer breasts, while going about their daily business in relative obscurity, have nonetheless unwittingly become symbols of the general state of our world.

September 24, 2012

My friend Susan insists that when she isn’t having sex and doesn’t have the prospect of sex looming on the horizon, she has a Parking Fairy. When she is having sex or has the prospect of having sex, her Parking Fairy disappears. I can attest to this phenomenon. Or rather, I do have to take […]
Becoming A Smart Ass, the Cottonelle Way
September 19, 2012
I never thought I’d be writing a post about toilet paper. On the other hand, I also never thought I would have written posts about things spewing out of my nose, zombie pustules from outer space, and placentas. But when my palm is being greased (in a manner of speaking), I suppose I’ll write about […]

36
Provocative title, no? This post-menopausal Jewish woman has been around a long time, but unfortunately, not quite long enough to give you a first-hand account of the true story about Judaism’s most famous son. (Jewish moms today dream of their sons becoming doctors, but Mary put to shame the ubiquitous “My son is a doctor” […]
