Tracy Frank has an article in The Forum today that leaves me unsettled. It is titled - When it comes to fertility, there’s no ‘magic age’ - and it caused me to comment out loud to myself, "There certainly are less than magical ages for fertility and the joy of pregnancy." I can definitely speak to experiencing pregnancy, [...]
Winning!
It occurs to me that success is primarily self-defined. I came to this conclusion after spending an evening recently with Mike's son, Sean, who used the phrase "Winning!" over and over again. You may recall that "Winning!" became the trademark phrase of Charlie Sheen during his very public professional meltdown last year. I personally am not a [...]
Touched.

Show it to your kids...kids, [...]

By young folks' standards Facebook has almost always been around (how frightening is that notion for folks who have a handful of decades in?). 😉 I came upon Facebook a number of years ago. In the beginning, I visited my Facebook [...]
God-given curves…
I do love Fifi, but I think that on some occasions she forgets who she is talking to. The other day she sent me an email that said in the subject line: CAROL Boyish Body? Create INSTANT Curves & SAVE! Upon opening the email I learned that Fifi was peddling a sale on her padded [...]
