Remember a couple of years ago when incarnations of Bakersfield Barbie were making their rounds on the Internet? My personal favorite was Tehachapi Barbie — two Barbies holding hands with a rainbow flag in front of a Suburu. Love her!!

Its happening again. No, thats a lie. It never stopped. I tried to deny the feelings through the winter months, to pretend I didnt care, to make myself completely unavailable emotionally to that old song and dance. I tried to become icy and pretend I wasnt aware of the...

I lowered my body onto the wooden chair, the utilitarian kitchen chair.
I opened my journal to the page I had selected before I left to take a walk. My pencil waited for my hand, my writing sentry. I noticed it looked slightly haughty to be my chosen writing partner.

www.snopes.com , the urban legend buster, describes this as containing "degrees of truthfulness" and also, of course, subjectivity. Listed also are two other sites (one called "Crossbearer," which certainly suggests a subjective perspective) that it says one can go to to...

The summers at Arvin are forever unbearably hot. In the 1950’s the lawns at the DiGorgioCountyPark were watered via flood irrigation and the kids would always watch the maintenance crew as they prepared each section of their lawn for watering. The water was usually only nine to...

My ex-husband was the first to admit that he could be rather mean-spirited; in truth, he often boasted of the fact, as if his ability to snap someone’s head off with a cruel retort were a talent to be proud of. It was a “talent” he learned at an early age from his stepfather,...

I just read that Whoopi Goldberg is going to replace [she who should not be named] on the View. I never watched it before, but I think I will give it a try now that Whoopi is going to be on it. I have always liked her immensely. But who is going to be on it with her? Anyone interesting? I would...

It had been awhile. Time had passed, the seasons had changed, I had changed, my situation in life had changed, things at work had changed, but in the face of all these changes one thing, as I was to be quiclky reminded, had not changed. Not one bit, and that was that moving still sucks. I was...

Good Morning!

I sit here at my desk still aching from the pain of another bout with kidney stones. Not pleasant, but at least I am home. I spent three days in the hospital with this crap and THAT sucked. While I sat in that Godforsaken place I got to thinking about how much I really hate hospitals. It doesnt...

On a lighter note than many of our recent ones, this blog is meant to bring a smile.
One day, several years ago, my ex-husband and I took a day trip to Beverly Hills on the off chance that we might be able to enjoy one day without biting one another's head off. It was a nice, temperate day, and...
