Several months ago I received an important looking 8×10 envelope in the mail from a certain financial institution. Inside was a 42-page booklet with the intriguing title General Account Agreement and Disclosure Document which I’ll refer to as GAADD from here on out because I have a word limit. I wish the financial institution had …
Sometimes when I can’t sleep, I like to read about sleep which is almost as good. Not really. But I go online anyway in the hopes of finding a cure for my annoying tendency to wake up around 3:30 a.m. ready to take on the world. I do love mornings. I’d just like them to …

I have just one bad habit. Besides lying, I mean. In my defense, I didn’t realize it was bad until recently. At my last appointment my dental hygienist asked me if I’m one of those people who walks around the house while they brush their teeth. Doesn’t everybody? I told her, “Occasionally.” Like I said, …

A few weeks ago a relative sent me a recipe for something called Sloppy Dorothys. I didn’t quite know how to take that. But as it turns out, the Sloppy Dorothy is a variation on the Sloppy Joe, the sandwich that’s made with ground meat and tomato sauce and typically served on a hamburger bun. …
My husband can find his way no matter where he is and whether or not he’s been there before. Meanwhile I get turned around getting in and out of an unfamiliar shower. Because he’s so good at it, he’s not very understanding. In fact, he says that I’m better at navigating than I give myself …
I once had a royal blue peplum-style dress that I loved. Don’t let the fact that I can name the style fool you into thinking I know anything about fashion. Even I can sound informed with enough internet research. Anyway, one day I was wearing this dress when I walked into a co-worker’s office. She …
I’ve been thinking about how much more time we’d all have if there were no stinkards in the world. And no scallywags, rotters or spalpeens. You know; people of low character. Yes, I could have just said that, but I felt the need for stronger language—just not so strong I couldn’t use it in this …
