This site occasionally features paid posts -- even so, they are 100% my honest opinion. I endeavor to promote only products I have used, or am willing to use, myself.

It is 6:45 p.m. I am so tired I can barely move. I need sleep. I can’t go to bed right now. If for some reason I should manage to sleep the full 7 hours my body requires, I’ll be wide awake before 2 a.m. Bad, bad, idea. Even if my body decided to take [...]

The school provides a free breakfast to every student, every morning in their classrooms. Tuesday they served Frosted Flakes, milk, cheese sticks and fruit cocktail. I said, “Frosted Flakes!

This came through my open window, loudly: “Fu@&in’ thank you!” “You’re welcome you fu@&in’ retarded bitch!” “Oh shut the fu@k up!” “If I didn’t fu@&in’ love you, I’d knock you into next week!” I shut the window and missed the rest of their foreplay.

It is time once again for a trek into my past: Grownups lie to children. They tell them about the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, and the Tooth Fairy. They tell them about leprechauns, happily-ever-after, and wishing on falling stars. They also tell them wet matches won’t strike. Then the kid burns down the house and [...]

When I went to college at 18, I wanted to be a famous writer. My Gram was paying the bills and she wanted me to apply myself to a career. Blah. I took journalism, thinking it was a crafty compromise. Double blah. Already in 1977 reporters were being groomed for the sensational. I was asked [...]
