Okay, So This Is It...The Long Goodbye....
Actually, it was Nancy Reagan who had coined "The Long Goodbye." She meant that about Alzheimer's, the ugly disease that robbed late President Reagan of fully enjoying his twilight years with her. What I'm referring to, is my leaving Blogit on June 6th. I've been here almost a year now. And it would...

Ice Cream Pants And Bandleader Jacket....Things Were Simpler Then....
The way I see it, half of all marriages still end in divorce. The statistics have not improved. And yet here we are in 2006, and we now have love coaches and empowerment coaches to help us find the right mate to settle down with. For instance, one of Oprah's friends, Dr. Robin Smith, has written a...

I Thought Of The 'Serenity Prayer' This Morning.....
I must admit, I hate when I cannot control things or when bad things happen, and I really cannot change them. I like fixing things. I am the middle child----the diplomat, the mediator, the peacemaker. I went to visit my 94-year-old uncle this morning, who now resides in a nursing home. I brought him...

Why Doesn't This Squishy Thing Come With A Warning???
How are folks supposed to know you have to remove the backbone to a squid before cooking? I'm no marine biologist, but I did ace biology 101 in high school, so I had learned about the bendable "pen" of a backbone that comes in every slippery squid. I mean, what if you want to cook some calamari, one...

It's 85 Degrees Here And I've Done The Potato Salad And The Babecues...
It's so darn muggy and now I've burned the tops of my shoulders. I've been trying to hard to save the skin I'm in, but late this morning, I forgot to apply the sunscreen, and well, friends came over, and we got to chatting and the hot sun blazed across me. And now my light, olive skin looks odd with...

I Need Some Help Here.....I'm Confused About A Certain Aspect Of Nature....
This is a weird one. I live in a medium-sized city in New England in a quiet suburban neighborhood by a grove. In other words, a few hundred yards away from a wooded area full of trees and a small brook. The only critters I have seen wade through my yard are raccoons, skunks, woodchucks, garter...

I Had Never Seen My Grandfather This Angry Before....What Was The Problem??
I remember it well. I was in my early teens and spending a week in July at my grandparents' beachhouse. My grandfather was a widower. And I was there to visit my cousins and aunt from New York who had made the journey up. My grandfather was from the old country and ruled the roost at the small,...

I Really Like Men Who "Notice Things"
Let me explain. Some men will take the time and revel in your essence. In other words, they appreciate a woman's beauty or intelligence or even the color she wore that evening. Those are the men I like. They are aware and awake. It doesn't always mean the man is good to the bone, but it's nice to be...

Do You Ever Look Back On The Crazy Stuff You Did And Wonder??!!
As I get older, I tend to look back, sometimes in amusement and sometimes in shock at some of the childish junk I've done. Even me, shy, shy Medusa, has been a punk, a liar, and a deviant during some wild moments. It wasn't that way until I moved away from home to live on a university campus. In an...

Alright....Where The Heck Did Blanche Go? Did I Miss Something?!
I'm crushed. One of the wonderful female voices here has suddenly disappeared off the face of Blogit without a trace. Without a reason why. Where is Miss Blanche Dubois? Her newest moniker was Blanche01. I tried going to her blog site yesterday, and she had removed all facets of her lovely...
