How many times have we heard, “the sky’s the limit”? According to the President of Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida, the sky is not the limit. Hmmm… That was the sales pitch we got a year ago when looking for schools for my son, Richard. Sold. How can you beat that pitch?…
“This is not how I am, I have become comfortably numb” —“Comfortably Numb,” Pink Floyd— It’s 4a.m., and I’m wide awake just staring at my bedroom walls. My eyes have adjusted to the darkness but my heart races in anticipation of my sheer fear of the unknown that the darkness can bring. How much longer…
It’s been said, “In school, we are given the lesson and then the test. In life, we are given the test, then the lesson.” With fifty knocking at my door next year, how many more lessons am I going to need before I get my degree in Life Management? Surely, I’m destined for a doctorate…
We’ve all had travel days from hell. The days with delays, temperamental people, bad coffee, more delays, and terribly bland food (apparently, salt is on the no fly list). The list goes on and on. Not to mention the joys of TSA. Isn’t that a book? “The Joy of TSA.” Oh wait. It’s “The Joy…
If you ever put your pecker where it’s not welcome, you can bet your sweet entitled ass, I will NOT be writing any letter to any judge telling him or her all the wonderful things I love about you. Let me be very clear about this. Do NOT put your penis, your hand, your finger,…

O. M. F. G. If only I could start and end the blog with OMFG. Enough said, right? My friends out there who have had one know exactly what I’m talking about. As a 46 year old woman, I should have just completed my 7th mammogram. Had I started at 40 when I was told…
Finally. Sexual abuse of children is in the “Spotlight.” Yes. Pun intended. Watch. This. Movie. Any good movie should move you emotionally. A great movie will bring you to tears. “Spotlight” brought me to tears. No. I wasn’t abused by a priest. I’m not even Catholic. I grew up protestant. I had my own religious hypocrisy shoved…
Yep…when you vacation with your children and your ex, the only making out I did was with Alex. The dolphin. Ok. So, we didn’t exactly make out. And who names a dolphin, Alex, anyway? But it was my only kiss was at the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas. “Did you give tongue to the dolphin,…
What’s worse? Getting busted doing it by your parents (or your boyfriend’s parents for that matter)? Or your kids? I’ve been busted by both. Nothing like getting busted by your boyfriend’s parents while sneaking into their house through their pint sized doggie door. Yes. That happened to me in high school. Beyond embarrassing. And I…
