This past week I did something I said I was done with- I got into a “discussion” online about something political- specifically the question of DC statehood. I freely admit this isn’t a topic I know a lot about and I am genuinely interested in learning more about it. I saw a post on it by a long time friend… Read more »
With needles that is. I got my first COVID vaccine shot in mid March and will be getting my second one on April 16th. My husband has also had his first shot and will be getting his second on April 19th. I know a lot of folks who have gotten both vaccines and more who are scheduled for their second. … Read more »
Even though it’s been over a week since it aired, there is still a great deal of discussion over the interview Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan gave to Oprah Winfrey. I admit I’ve had a fascination with the British royal family since I was a kid. My grandmother was obsessed with Princess Diana and thought she was the epitome of… Read more »
This week was an exciting one in the world of the easily angered. The Q crowd had yet another letdown when none of the predictions made for March 4th happened. Andrew Cuomo apparently has no idea how to interact with women. Hasbro isn’t really dropping the name Mr. Potato Head, but people thought they were and lost their minds for… Read more »
I had really hoped that between the public backlash against the January 6th riots and Joe Biden being sworn in as the 45th President of the United States that some semblance of normalcy could come back to American politics.

Polls are not always accurate for a wide variety of reasons. The number of people polled might be too small. The demographics of the… Read more »
I have stated many, many times that I do not identify as a member of either political party. It is true that I am/ was a firm Anti Trumper, but let’s face it – Trump is a Republican in the same way that I’m a blonde. It’s not my natural state, but I was one for quite a while and… Read more »
As I’m sure you are well aware I am a HUGE Miami Dolphins fan and a big NFL fan overall. This year I’m in 2 fantasy football leagues and am the commissioner for one of them. Two years ago I spent my entire bonus check- the largest one I’ve ever gotten in my entire life – to attend the Vikings/… Read more »
If you are not aware, cancel culture refers to the public shaming, mostly on social media, of someone for saying or doing something deemed offensive. It can end careers, or at least cause major derailment, quickly- people love piling on. This phenomenon started, as so many bad things do, as a good thing. Public figures are, well, public, and if… Read more »
Since I’ve had more time for reading and contemplation these last few months I’ve been looking into “greener” options for a few more of the products I use. I mentioned a while back that I had made a few changes already- including reusable straws and laundry pods- but I wanted to up my game even more. I did switch to… Read more »
