Fat? It's Not Your Fault!
(a Canadian city, actually, but you get my point, I hope! Big Butt anonymity.) Here is what Trudeau asserts: As a follow-up to the piece I wrote on obesity in America, I would like to print an excerpt from Kevin Trudeau's book, “The Weight Loss Cure," that pinpoints something TAPS just said in her...

Obesity!
VS. (I am posting my response from another opinion board) From: Cyan1 As I've been successfully losing the few pounds I gained after I stopped smoking last year, I've become fascinated with TLC & Discovery Health programs about morbid obesity. But there are some questions that have never been...

One of my favorite poems: Robert Frost (1874–1963). Mountain Interval. 1920. 1. The Road Not Taken TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; 5 Then took the...

The Bathtub Test
It doesn't hurt to take a hard look at yourself from time to time, and this should help get you started. During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director what the criterion was which defined whether or not a patient should be institutionalized. "Well," said the Director, "we fill up...

My First Storebought Dress
Preschool years I started school attending school as a visitor until I was old enough for first grade. Until then, in today's language, I was in preschool for a long time, and an unofficial kindergarten. You see, my school was a one-room school house that was in easy walking distance of our...

The Legal Definition of STOP!
(I chuckled at this story. Of course, I'm a small-town gal.) A big city corporate lawyer runs a stop sign in a small town in Tennessee and gets pulled over by a Sheriff's Deputy. He thinks that he is smarter than this hick town Deputy because he is a lawyer and is certain that he has a better...

Diaper My Mother?
I just had a chat with a friend whose demented mother and step-father are obviously unable to care for themselves much longer, but what to do? All three sons are leading busy lives of their own, all living miles away, all TOO busy, but still, the phone calls are starting to come. The church ladies...

First Days of School
Her mum, Lori, was there all the way, capturing "the moment" for her youngest daughter. "The moment" was Michaela's first day of school. She's a first grader now and will spend whole days there, not the half days the kindergartners have. She will be eating lunch with her little friends. Mum will...

One Day Later!
Not bad. My daughter said it looks like a bad makeup job is all! She's at Yoga so I snuck back to the computer to let you know they dubbed me a poster girl for the Doctor. I'm sure they say that to all the patients waking up! I'm being watched like a hawk by Nurse Ratchett, I mean my daughter!! Time...
