Cooties Alert: men, if you’re squeamish, you might want to look away. This is pure woman stuff. I bought the book because its title was clever, but also because it echoed what I keep saying: Is it hot in here? Or is it me? Subtitled The Complete Guide to Menopause, it seemed like the right […]

The office where I get my dental work done has a typo on their web page. It is in the phone number, and every time I try to call I first try the number listed, in case it has been corrected. It hasn’t. Today I solved this on a personal level, with Notezilla. Notezilla has […]

I’ve recently been “informed” by about half a dozen people who do not know each other, and in different settings and different contexts, that only liberals are smart, and that all conservatives are stupid, ignorant, and closed-minded. One person who had just accepted my help with some things then mentioned that “conservatives are all assholes.” […]

My personal recommendation is Oliver Twist. David Copperfield is a very, very close second. And then you can tackle Shakespeare, C. S. Lewis’ non-fiction, and Charlotte’s Web. The book, not the movie. The point to all this? Never stop learning. You learned in elementary school because they told you to. You learned in high school […]

There are a mom and dad, their three adult children, two adult children’s spouses, and their children. It’s generally a good show. There is also a young character, one of the grandkids, named Max. He […]

We’ve all seen the picture, or variations of it: a person, with a devil sitting on one shoulder and an angel on the other. The devil represents, well, the Devil. The angel represents a guardian angel, or God. And we, we are to presume, stand in the middle with a choice to make. Which team […]

Has Michael already run out of the money he was awarded for Terri’s rehabilitation? I guess a professional who lives on lawsuit money has to do something for a living when his cash runs out.

Two quick ideas for using up often wasted foods: 1. Stale bread or bread heels… tear them up into a bowl, and sprinkle cheese on top. Drizzle water over it, and season to taste. (I like a tiny bit of a salty seasoning like french fry seasoning, and a handful of minced onion.) Optionally, add […]

I’d rather call it a marriage ring. It isn’t about having had a wedding, it’s about a lifelong commitment.
