My heart hurts….like the majority of this country. Our hearts are breaking at the senseless death of George Floyd. I’m 71 years old and can remember so many instances of racism as I grew up…especially being raised in the south. The “N” word was used often by my family. I was disgusted by it. It…

Haircuts and Sasquatch
I was just washing my face and brushing my teeth to get ready for bed. As the water was running, the drain did its usual gurgling. Every time I run water at that sink in the master bath, it gurgles. I know it is clogged with hair…I know it needs to be cleaned out. I…
CAN YOU FEEL THE LOVE TONIGHT? ME NEITHER
https://thepeoplesledger.com/florida-couple-both-doctors-filmed-stealing-trump-2020-flag-from-neighbor-while-their-child-begged-not-to/?fbclid=IwAR0o32OR-Tpg1LdQmGtiqSByeJsM7R_Neb4girnumLS_4eMOo98sm_keACU#utm_source=Grunt%20Works What is wrong with people??? These two are DOCTORS and their young son has more sense than they do…he’s telling them “Don’t do it! You’ll go to jail.” Which they did, and who knows if it will impact their licenses or practices. I don’t care what you believe about Trump or any other candidate…
THE COST OF SELFISHNESS
This video is of an Italian doctor talking about the reality of not having enough medical equipment and supplies to try to save everyone. The “solution” is to essentially euthanize those who are ill and over 65 in order to care for younger people. It breaks my heart and clearly breaks his as well….
Armpit “Tit”
Let me begin my saying I HATE the words “tit” and “titties”. I cannot, however share this story without the use of the word. In 1988 my sister (whose first husband had passed away) was getting married again. I was one of her bridesmaids so I came out a few days before the wedding to…
I’M A MURDERER!
I just killed ANOTHER cucumber. I would post a picture of the victim but it is just too gory! I love them (especially the little midget or pickling cucumbers). I will buy a four pack of these tiny things and inevitably I will have to throw one or more away before I can…
MISSING THE PARTY
I had French onion soup tonight along with a fresh-baked French baguette from Costco. ….and I cried. We have a “beater” refrigerator on the back deck that we bought for $40 two years ago. We used it for storing all the extra produce we got from the garden, plus holding our extra freezer items…
BLINDSIDED BY LOSS
My heart hurts and the tears are flowing. I feel like I’ve been handling Art’s passing better and better every day and then…blindsided! Totally blindsided! As I started getting ready for bed tonight, I went into the kitchen and took some Excedrin for a really bad headache. As I drank the water I looked out…
A TRIP DOWN WENDOVER AVENUE
This happened many years ago and some people have already heard the story, but a few are requesting that I tell it again in this blog. So, as requested, let’s go for a trip down Wendover. I was born and raised in North Carolina, but lived on the west coast from the time I was…
A TWISTED SENSE OF HUMOR
I have a bit of a warped sense of humor. I developed it as a means to survive an abusive childhood with alcoholic parents. I think it has served me well. As my daughters grew up, they developed their own versions as did my sister. Our family is pretty used to it, but…
