my inner voices and Dear Abby

I hear voices in my head. Don't you?There's my mother's voice. She is the chief, CEO, President, mother of the voices, although I dont think they talk among themselves all that much. They talk to me. Sometimes when I ask, mostly when I don't ask at all. Like when I'm just doing my own thing,suddenly mothervoice will say isn't it time you go to bed (or get up)? Or its been sunny all day and you haven't been outside ONCE. Then there's the Judge Judy voice. She mainly speaks up inside the car.…See More

Funny Women

I want to encourage women to submit to humor venues. I urge you; I implore you. Let’s start a revolution and change the world’s mind about who’s funny. Your heart will swell with accomplishment and your breasts will become larger. This I promise.

I think it really helps, it keeps me writing every day, looking for stories in every day events, helps build a "fan" base for future books, and from the comments it doesn't ever feel that I'm just writing for myself, and I can…

Vicadun, the mother's helper....

Last Saturday morning I reached for clean knickers in the freshy done laundry basket and ping, my back went out. Dont do this to me I said to it, not now, (not ever actually) but it did anyway. It did it badly just to spite me. It doesn't do it often, maybe two, three times a year, usually when i've been sitting in a bad chair, same position for a while, like writing and making jewelry are really bad for my back and they are the two things I really need to do (for my sanity) after making…See More

Roxanna Bennett commented on the blog post 'on the topic of sex and the new female libido pill'
Wow. Fantastic post. This is just incredible. And where is the male birth control pill that also prevents all the silent STD's swarming all over his dick? If I knew a guy couldn't knock me up and get me sick, I'd be more inclined to…

on the topic of sex and the new female libido pill

A pill that blunts female inhibitions?!No matter how men try to get into women’s sex heads, the results are always funny. And scary. I don’t know how many women chemists worked on this new pill that is supposed to re-awaken our desire (is it really so asleep? Not in Miami Beach!) but judging from the quotes in the Boehringer press release a bunch of men take the credit, and after being released on Bloomberg all the top Google results are macho sites touting this much anticipated drug, by men,…See More
