Breakfast of BBs
Sunday, July 17th, 2011
Guess who cares what I think: Kellogg’s. Really. I’m not kidding. They actually asked me to try two of their high fiber cereals and report to you, my loyal readers, what I thought of them (see: one more benefit to being over 40!). And I thought: boy, are they brave! Have they ever read this blog?
Let me start by admitting (more…)

Don’t Get Hysterical
Sunday, July 10th, 2011
Don’t deny it; you know you do it. You may pretend you don’t, but let’s be honest; you schedule that “special time” with yourself. I don’t care what you call it and I don’t care how you do it. Maybe you don’t have a vibrator at the side of your bed. Maybe you just (more…)

Liar, Liar . . . Pants on fire
Friday, July 8th, 2011
Okay; the chambermaid who accused Dominique Strauss-Kahn is a liar. But that doesn’t mean he didn’t rape her. And here’s the upshot: other rape victims – once again – face the “She made it up” crowd, who like to claim that these women asked for it, they wanted it, or it didn’t even happen. Yes, some women lie about being raped, but lots of us (yes, US) didn’t and haven’t and wouldn’t. Actually, most of us don’t even talk about it. (more…)

Smiling Faces
Tuesday, June 28th, 2011
I’ve never liked fake tans. As far as I’m concerned, if you want a tan, your have to work at it. Some people just can’t tan, and that’s fine. Using a self tanner to avoid burning or skin cancer is okay with me; but going to a tanning salon is – IMHO- cheating.The same goes for Botox. If your face is going to sag and wrinkle, using Botox to erase the road map of your life is cheating. And it’s not just cheating on your looks; it’s affecting your ability to feel. (more…)

Who’s Changing?
Monday, June 13th, 2011
According to my sister Camille, it shouldn’t be you or I changing. But I don’t mean changing as in our attitudes, or weight or style. I mean giving exact change, as in digging in your purse for dimes, nickles, quarters, pennies. At least that’s what the book “How Not To Act Old” says. That’s the most sure-fire way – other than counting the rings on your neck – to let people know you’re over 40. (more…)
