The Science-Defying, Middle-Aged Female Body!
Previous post on food & weight: Hurdle I'm still fat, but in this photo I'm wearing pants that one of my neighbors shrank in a dryer a couple of years ago. I couldn't begin to squeeze into them for a long time, but now they fit just fine! Last April is when I...

#10Year Damn Challenge
So there's another asinine challenge going around and way too many people are participating. This one is particularly cruel because only very young people can do it with dignity. It's the #10YearChallenge and what you do is post a photo of yourself from ten years ago...

I Love Turning 50!
As I get closer to my 50th birthday on July 24th, I'm getting tired of people trying to tell me I'm not old. They obstinately don't understand that for me old is good. I have always been happy to get a year older because I experienced no great benefit to being young,...

I’m 49 1/2
Next July 24th will be my 50th birthday. It falls on a Sunday, which is actually the day I was born back in 1966. I considerately arrived in the daytime, so my birth didn't wake anyone up or keep anyone awake into the night. I admit that I made my parents miss church...
