I don't understand people who think they're too old for birthdays. Don't they know there's lots of people who'd love to be their age? Don't they read the obituaries?
I tried to share my feelings about birthdays with my husband. Of course, any discussion about feelings with a man is a short...

I've come to the conclusion that confusion is our fifty-first state. Take men, for example. I was fathered by a man, married one and gave birth to two - but I still don't understand them. When I told a lesbian friend I envied her because she had a partner who shared feelings, she laughed and said...

The trouble with Type A personalities is they're always trying to be A+. I know. I am one. Our motto is "There's no time like the present".
Being A's, however, doesn't mean we're perfectionists. We know perfection is impossible. We just want everything to be right all the time.
Type A's...

Why don't I ever see a half-empty bag of potato chips or a few peanuts left in a bowl? We must have convinced ourselves that snack food doesn't have as many calories because we eat it with our hands. But if that's right, maybe it applies only to right-handed people.

Books are like candy. Not everyone likes the same kind. I like mysteries - the more twists and turns in the plot and the redder the herrings, the better. What I don't like are writers who take the mystery out of mysteries by summing up all the clues in the last two pages. If the butler did it, I...

Cruise is a relaxing word. You imagine deck chairs, ocean breezes - and no responsibilities. The word lets your thoughts drift at sea - unless you're my husband.
John feels confined on ships, he feels confined in the tuxedo he's expected to wear to formal dinners on board and he can't be...

Marriages may be made in heaven, but a lot go to hell later. Because I'm still married to husband number one, divorced girlfriends ask my advice about what they should look for in husband number two ... or three. My advice is free - and worth every penny.
If I were husband shopping,...

The flag, apple pie and baseball - what does America say to you?
To me it also says freedom. It says pioneer spirit. It's our pioneer spirit that inspires us to build bigger and better. Shopping malls, amusement parks and space travel have been new worlds for us to conquer.
We're the ones...

Some people stop to smell the roses. I stop to watch the world go by. When I see boys wearing over-sized clothing and girls dressing up in Brittany Spears' outfits, I smile. Now I know how my mother felt when I teased my hair, wore blue eye shadow and dated boys with sideburns and greased- back...

Maybe it's because I grew up in a house full of women, but I'm a talk radio junkie. Music channels don't sooth my savage beast. Music doesn't quiet my thoughts - no matter how loud it is - even teenager loud.
I want a combination of news, weather, interviews and humor. A little bit of sugar...
