Visiting the Planet Xanax By the time you are well into adulthood, there are certain things you have most probably done – you have probably seen Les Miserables , you have probably considered switching to internet banking, and you may be puzzled at how much you like to... ( added 1 year 322 days ago.)
Something Is Squirrelly Here! The relationship between people and wild animals has always been an interesting one, and it has usually been pretty lopsided – wild animals look at us, and we run. Not much give-and-take to that relationship. Of course, there were fictional... ( added 2 years 12 days ago.)
Medical Alert: Get Checked for Wishinew yanamia This article is medical in nature, with information you absolutely must have if you are going to live a healthy, meaningful, friend-filled life. No, it’s not about mammograms, dental check-ups, or global warming (I don’t care whether you write a... ( added 2 years 21 days ago.)
Fitness and Bananas - A Winning Combination Now that summer is fading I have noticed a tendancy in myself to stop exercising and jump back into my big, comfy, concealing sweatpants to watch the glory that is fall. In other words, soon I will have the fitness habits of an anemic slug, since... ( added 2 years 42 days ago.)
Offending No One, Enlightening No One Having a child 10 years after having my first two children has been eye opening, in many respects. It has illuminated for me how tired and old a person can feel while doing mundane tasks like filling a snack bag (in the old days it was called a... ( added 2 years 54 days ago.)
Dog Training: Try A Whisper Recently, my husband and I have stumbled on a television show that has entranced and enthralled us. Its a show called The Dog Whisperer on one of the cable channels, that my dog Copper is wishing we never got a glimpse of. We humans love it, and I... ( added 2 years 59 days ago.)
The Art of Conferencing A few weeks ago, I went to the National Society of Newspaper Columnist ’s annual conference, where journalists and columnists from all over the country join together as colleagues and wonder what time the hospitality suite is open. This year the... ( added 2 years 126 days ago.)
Carwashes and French Fries - A Match Made in Heaven Every once in a great while, I like to do something that is interesting and full of surprises – in the way that a science experiment is interesting and surprising. I like to, at least once yearly, clean out my car.
I am usually prompted to do... ( added 2 years 136 days ago.)
Message to My Graduating Senior I can hardly believe it, but my middle son Matt is graduating from high school. How did this happen — where did the time go?
I believe that every family has a Matt — that person who asks so little, and gives so much. Happy by nature, always one... ( added 2 years 180 days ago.)
Hold Me Closer, Snappy Dancer... If everything in my world has gone like it should, as you read this I will be on a beach somewhere in Sarasota, Fla., relaxing my head off. I have my husband and his annual sales reward trip to thank for this trip — so, thanks, you two.
I have... ( added 2 years 259 days ago.)
"The Way We Are"
Life with four males sure is challenging these days. We have three boys, ages 20, 17, and 7, and they are all living under this roof, currently. Add my husband into the mix, and I am the most out-gunned, out-numbered person you’ve ever met.... ( added 2 years 282 days ago.)
Your Holiday Letter After A Few Glasses of Eggnog Do you receive holiday letters from friends and family, designed to update you on the family’s activites and interests and generally “keep you in the loop"? I like these letters myself – so few people sit down to write anything personal anymore –... ( added 2 years 337 days ago.)
What the Sam Hill Did He Say? I am what I guess you would call a “transplant" – I was not born and raised here in New England, where I now live. I am from Maryland, and my husband is from Worcester, Massachusetts. The night I met my husband in my hometown down in Maryland, I... ( added 3 years 88 days ago.)
Adopting A Pet is Harder than Adopting A Person
There are some things you just have to have in this life, and for me, it’s a dog. I’m a dog person. My husband, however, is a sanity-person. So naturally, our two personas are at odds with one another. Also, he feels he has done his... ( added 3 years 94 days ago.)
Politics, Hairstyles and Voting - A Primer
A writer friend said to me recently, “You know, Deirdre, it’s great that you write humor and all, because, well – humor is funny – but you’re missing all the action sitting at your card table writing about real life! Face it, no one is... ( added 3 years 97 days ago.)
The Love Boat Sails Again
Last week-end I had the thrilling experience of taking a cruise – or, as I now think of it, taking An Unlimited Opportunity To Eat. People should really just say, “I’m so excited, I’m going on an eat," rather than “I’m going on a cruise,"... ( added 3 years 110 days ago.)
Bananas for Copa Cabana
It’s interesting how music can instantly transport you back through time – for better or worse. For example, “Hungry Like A Wolf" by Duran Duran makes my shoulders itch and my head droop when I hear it, because when it was popular I was... ( added 3 years 110 days ago.)
