I was once told a personal recounting of a time when the storyteller said ‘gypped’ and was told he shouldn’t say that because it was insensitive and could be offensive to gypsies. Except they were nowhere near the company of gypsies. So, who were they potentially in danger of offending? Each other’s…

Last month, I wrote a post about cheating and how it is under the umbrella of non-monogamy. Using the metaphor of family, I titled the post, Cheating is the Red-headed Stepchild of Non-monogamy. As anticipated (which is why I started the post asking red heads not to be offended), there…

When my daughter asked me what was my best memory from the year, I struggled to answer. The year was full of all…

The resolution to my summer and employment I let go of the nursing home job — you can read about why, HERE. That was around Thanksgiving. On Black Friday, I took my daughter shopping and to lunch at my former place of employment, my home-away-from-home. There was no waitress. The bar was packed, and the floor was…
