25,000 people. Twenty five thousand. Killed simply because they are in the way. What Hamas did was worse than the worst horror film I have ever watched and I’ve seen most. We generally don’t get to hear what goes on that’s the thing. Pretty much the same atrocities were committed…

Hello to 2024
2023 has been kind to me in lot’s of ways. I’m very grateful for where I live, for my continuing good health and for my relationships with my daughter and big brother and his wife. I feel very lucky. Last year I gave up on the people that sapped me…

The Big Sixty
I reached a milestone this past weekend. The big 60’th birthday. I’ve entered the ‘elderly’ stage of life. It’s finally here. And it’s ok. I spent the weekend with my family and best friends: my beautiful, kind daughter and my precious, stinky little dogs. We gorged on unhealthy but delicious…

Fame
I’ve never been a fan of Britney Spears simply because I never knew who she was. Different generations and music genres. I’ve recently been watching her Instagram. Initially, because it was like watching the antics of Kanye West. It’s a juicy and titillating cringe fest. It’s my afternoon cup of…

When the purge comes…
Russel Brand, accused of sexual assault and rape. Well who would have believed it? Me for starters. You only have to look at the sleaze bag and his permanently open mouth and gritted teeth. I can smell his bad breath and cheesy penis from here. I wonder how many haven’t…
