My dog is shrinking. Honestly. And there’s no bone density test for the family mutt (like there is for the maternal one). After all, once past the age of 7 she’s over 49 in “people years,” and doesn’t that explain that the dog is less perky, less playful, less “big?” Land of denial (I like […]

Light Bulb
You know that flash of recognition when you just “get it?” It’s almost physical – the sensation of understanding – really understanding an important piece of information, or the significance of an event. As if a light is turned on. That sort of epiphany can be good or bad, satisfying or bittersweet. Any number of […]
Good News Extravaganza (Bad News Moratorium)
Life sucks. We know. I’m tired of reading bad news. Enough already. Do you hear that New York Times? Wall Street Journal? MSNBC? We get it. This guy? No one looks like this guy. Not on my planet. Hell – I’ve got a laptop in my bed, not some hunka-hunka-sweet-faced manhood with pouty lips and […]

When it Comes to Internet Discounts, Caveat Emptor
Do you know the expression, caveat emptor, let the buyer beware? When it comes to Internet discounts, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. This afternoon, I was trying to find a discount outlet for something I really wanted to purchase for my son. I couldn’t afford the retail price, so […]

Sex and the Dating Dilemma of SSRIs
The dating pool I’ve been a single woman for a long time, dipping in and out of the dating pool for the better part of a decade. It was a slow re-entry, wading into the shallow end, then descending into the depths when I was ready. Fortunately, I came with a strong stroke or two […]
Fortune cookies (and the pursuit of happiness)
You always bring others happiness. That was the message when I cracked open the cookie and read the fortune on the skinny slip of paper. Dessert, following Chinese take-out. Well.
