Menopause Bulge: What Used to Work Doesn’t Anymore
The battle of the bulge crept up on me. My excellent method for maintaining my weight and health while still enjoying all the treats at Christmas worked for years. Until it didn’t.

“We’re going to LollyPop’s house.” Those words are the reasoning behind the selection of the grandparent names around here. Wouldn’t you know it? Now there’s a “sweet shop” called Lolli and Pops. By sweet shop, I mean a candy story. But doesn’t the OTHER sound SO much fancier. Kind of like going to LollyPop’s sounds …
Ah, New York, New York. So much to see in the City that Never Sleeps. But where should a tourist start? No need for this tourist to wonder.

Thanks to Amazon and other online vendors, a person never needs to leave their house to be supplied with anything they want. Everything they want—as long as they have a credit card limit high enough—will come to them in the mail. Or be delivered by another parcel service. The other day, the UPS man rang …
Welcome to What Would Wonder Woman Do, my new Thursday blog series. Some might claim that Wonder Woman and I are pretty close to the same person. I mean born in 1966 and all. But when it comes to shopping, Wonder Woman and I might not do the mall together. What We Like This is …
Have you enjoyed cruising with me? I hope it has been entertaining. Better than a three-hour tour that gets you shipwrecked on a deserted island, anyway. Our final port of call was Philipsburg, the capital of Dutch St. Maarten. Other than shopping for the last of our gifts and picking up our “free” charm, we …
People are happy to give us their opinions, aren’t they? Even when we don’t ask. But, why do we ask? Does what they think really matter in the long-term scope of life?
