Recipe of the Day: Grilled Tuna and Cheese Sandwiches

In the mid 1970’s, I worked as a long distance telephone operator in Seattle and worked out of the 4th Avenue office. Across the street was The Hungerford Hotel and they had a lounge that was one of the first places to get the Pong computer game. We would go over there for lunch, playContinue reading “Recipe of the Day: Grilled Tuna and Cheese Sandwiches”

Prompt: Sleeping with the Musician

Using the prompt Sleeping with Musician; “I’m pretty sure we have all had a crush on at least one musician in our lifetime. I can think of a handful that I wouldn’t kick out of bed right now..haha. This reminds me of those folded-up posters in the teen magazines that you could tear out andContinue reading “Prompt: Sleeping with the Musician”

TMI Tuesday – October 4, 2022: I Need, I Want, I Can, I Can’t

1. What do you need most right now, a friend or a lover? Why? Both, and they don’t need to be the same person, but it’s fine if it is. 2. What song do you not know the lyrics of but you like to sing anyway? Oh, so many to choose from. I often upContinue reading “TMI Tuesday – October 4, 2022: I Need, I Want, I Can, I Can’t”

Halloween: More Than Just a Day

When I was a kid in the ’50s, Halloween wasn’t just a day; it was an event. First, there was a costume parade at school along with a party in our classroom, and then a school carnival (at least at my elementary school), and then coming home and waiting until it finally got dark andContinue reading “Halloween: More Than Just a Day”

Fat-shaming

A friend of mine, who is usually so caring and open-minded, but hates Donald Trump, posted a picture of a very fat woman wearing a “Trump 2020” bikini in a comment on my Facebook page. I was hurt, angry, and frustrated. We are in the middle of BLM and Gay Pride Month, but fat-shaming isContinue reading “Fat-shaming”

“Old People Sex”

I can’t do much these days, but I can speak out on social injustices, and I am. Racism, sexism, misogyny, gay rights, rape culture, fatphobia, ableism, and ageism. We have a long way to go, and at times it feels like two steps forward and one step back. But this idea that old people havingContinue reading ““Old People Sex””

Shoes

When Mrs. Fever presented this prompt Shoes, I knew it was one that I had to write about. I think I’ve had a shoe fetish since I was a tiny little girl. As a child, I wasn’t allowed to have toy cars to play with because those were toys for boys only. So I used myContinue reading “Shoes”

Repost of TMI Tuesday: July 21, 2020; Random

1. What movie can you watch over and over and never tire? Steel Magnolias. Every time I watch it, I know what is going to happen, but I still cry at the end. I love the “circle of life” of the movie hitting each season and holiday. I relate to the part where M’Lynn talksContinue reading “Repost of TMI Tuesday: July 21, 2020; Random”

Turn the Page

It seems like my life is, and always has been, concerned with books. I’m either reading them, checking them out of the library, buying them on Amazon, reading free ebooks on various sites, writing books, publishing books (okay, so far it’s just been two, but it’s a start) or altering books. I’m not sure whatContinue reading “Turn the Page”
