NOT what I would call “clean eating”, but inexpensive, easy, filling… I only cook in the microwave… that might put some people off, but that’s the reality. 1 - boil in bag brown rice 2 - after it...

Still in this day and age, some men only see women in two categories - the ones you marry and the ones you “mess around” with. Some men can’t think of sullying their wives with their low desires,...

I was in midtown the other day, on the east side. On my way to the bus, I noticed someone had thrown out (!) some CDs. One was Frank Sinatra - that went straight into the donation bag - the oth...

---

I’ve been lazy lately and not gone to the supermarket. There was very little food in the house - some soy cheese, some yogurt… lots of canned items and rice. I was getting tired of delivery foo...

---

I am a member of a rather active group - 40 y/o+, mostly singles - we meet for a meal and a movie most weekends. Granted, the meals are MUCH more expensive than what I’d usually spend, but I enjo...

If I am happy about something in my life and tell people about it, it will NOT happen. This has happened so MANY times that I no longer think it’s a superstition! I have planned the trip to Cuba...

---

As I was resting in the park after taking a long uphill climb, I noticed a young black man sitting across from me. He might have been African. He was drinking coffee and then spoke on his smart ...

---

The tagline for Fairway. There’s one in walking distance - down a long hill, then another long hill, supposed to be about 6 blocks… HA! It feels more like 1/2 mile. I love the store - it’s gr...

---

I do have LOTS of stuff: clothing, books, shoes, teaching supplies (worksheets, etc.) I HATE to throw anything away. I also have to deal with my late parents’ stuff: electronics, books, clothin...

---

I earned $250 yesterday. After I went to the movies today, then to the post office to mail out two books, I stopped and ate lunch (and took 1/2 of it home for dinner). Then… the moment… I had t...

---

MANY years ago, I started a medical study about diabetes. It was a double blind study and since a short time in I got diabetes, I assume I’d been getting the placebo. The study continues and I w...

---

In all honesty, I love to stay home. For that reason, if I have errands to take care of outside, I try to do them all in one day, all in the same general area. First stop: Two bags of items for ...

---

Chores, fun, errands, fun. First stop: to the thrift shop with a mixed bag - clothes and housewares - for donation. Bought a cloth shoulder strap bag - with patchwork and embroidery - $3. It ca...

---

My tree is gone! About 1 1/2 years ago, a seed got planted through the wooden slats in my patio. AND it grew. By the time I got here this visit, it was about 15-20 feet high. The homeowners assoc...

---

I didn’t do much today - read, cooked and ate breakfast and lunch, played on the computer, listened to music from you tube. AND… Two loads of laundry got done and the floor was vacuumed. Wonderf...

---

Not my favorite as I don’t care to watch videos. Yesterday, someone posted a like to White Bird on FB. I listened, then the music continued with another band. Somehow I got linked into a “chan...

---

I got a letter from the bank about the new procedure for the safe deposit box. ??? I don’t have one. Turns out my parents had one and my name was on the “can access” list. OKAY. I don’t have a...

---

A friend mentioned how she’s had success on this diet. I rarely cook in NYC, but do more cooking in San Diego. So now that I am here, I did the shopping! It takes a lot of ingredients and a lo...

---

When my father was in the hospital dealing with cancer and the radiation, his sister was going to come visit - they lived in different cities. He asked the nurses to give him whatever meds he was...

I enjoyed the class of “low-impact” aerobics, but got to the point I just did NOT want to leave the house. So, remembering what the teacher had taught us - what moves, how to change it up, how t...

---

I waited till it was at least a bit sunny - then at 9 a.m. was off to the pool. I did about 1/2 hour of water aerobics. I had my froggy gloves on - they have webbing between the fingers to incr...

---

I started to learn Spanish in the 9th grade. There were various groups of people in the neighborhood from the Caribbean - Puerto Ricans, Cubans and people from the Dominican Republic, Dominicans...

---

The most recent movie by Disney based on elements in the theme parks. This one is ALL over the place - past, present, future - feel good, serious message, summer CGI blockbuster, androids, weird ...

---

For the past week or so, I’ve seen baby mice running around the living room. Scampering, I guess would be a better way to put it. Clearly they never got the memo on peppermint oil (I had put so...

---

I signed up for 4 exercise classes, 5 days a week. OK - couldn’t handle that much - so cut it down to 4 - still 5 days a week. By last week I realized my arthritis was killing me, and I was just...
