In response to an ardent Stephen King fan on a forum.
Quit squashing my attempts To leave a message personally, for Steven King. What if I have a personal question for him, and he alone. Dont tell me no one on here has acess or the ability to make this happen. He is not a God. He is a man, a mere mortal man. The way you get so territorial and jealous...

Charmin
I'm no prude at all, I don't squirm in the face of anything remotely revolting. I have helped a country vet performed a tubal ligation on a sheep dog when his assistant didn't turn up (he was Spanish & good looking, and is probably still ankle chained in someone's coalhouse in the local village)....

Sundays
Most of the time, when I have my soul searching episodes, it happens on a Sunday. I've been thinking about this (because, duh! it's Sunday) and reckon it must have something to do with the whole Catholic/religious spin on Sunday, and it being a time for reflection and accountability, your soul's...

Haircut before and after.
The salon visit was great. I wasn't the star of the show, as I was very subdued, and didn't get much opportunity to chat as the stylist had overlapped appointments. I didn't get to meet Steve, but saw him before I left, mid flap with the receptionist over scheduling. I thought it'd be impolite to...

Hair Salon Etiquette
Yes, someone ought to write a book. I'm scared of hairdressers. There you have it. No, it's not of what they'll do to my hair, but it's that way they have of assessing you from top to toe that unnerves me. I put it off for a year, and did home coloring, which is probably too dark for my complexion...

Love Hurts
I wouldn't do the lady dishonour by turning up in some version of sweatpants or being inappropriately dressed for our big day out. So, I had a wispy boho mid thigh length top with ¾ leggings underneath, my concession to comfort being the wedge sandals I'd bought the day before, kinda Roman mule...

The Lemonade Diet/Master Cleanse followed by Death by Chocolate
Well I lasted five days, and felt fuzzy, pins & needly, almost drunk at times. Lets just say I was always worried about that few oz of emulsion I drank when I was five. I'd mixed it with water and pretended I'd made milk, and I sipped away, sitting on the straw for the dog's bed out in the coalhouse...

Advice to a friend in an email
You know, I re-read this after receiving the reply with the history of the back and forth correspondence, and I look over it and laugh. This happened over five years ago, but in the moment of advising someone came back as fresh as wet crumpled hankies on the end of the bed. "Some relationships start...

The Color Purple
I'm sitting here, still in my night clothes, and we'll be getting ready shortly to do the Sunday open house tour. Yes, the year, the move, it's just catching up with me now. I haven't really had the chance to let my feet touch the ground since we landed at JFK last year, and not a week has passed...

USA - A Year in Review.
I've meant to come back in here on several occasions but haven't been able to find the time. I'm off today, forced vacation, but I'm fine with that, I needed the break over the last four weeks. So what's occurred? Not much in the scheme of things in present tense, but I guess a lot if you look back...
