My hat goes off to Valerie Bertinelli for standing up for traditional marriage on The View last week. Barbara Walters revealed that actress Mo’Nique in her pre-Oscar interview told her that she and husband Sidney Hicks have an “open marriage.” Joy Behar mumbled something about someone being there as important and Sherri Shepherd brought up the fact that [...]
We’ve all digested the sorted details of Tiger Woods and his famous flings and watched the media’s OJ Simpson style stalking of Woods’ house on national TV. And just when we thought all the perpetrators had crawled back under their rocks, Tiger Woods resurfaces decked out in his Nike duds interrupting our TV viewing pleasure [...]
Jenny Sanford, Elizabeth Edwards, and Gayle Haggard. What do all these women have in common? They’re amazingly strong, over 40 and have cheating husbands! High profile cheating husbands. You don’t see Hilary Clinton at a press conference apologizing to her constituents about a boy toy in Argentina. In fact, I can’t recall ever seeing a [...]
I am NOT a fan of chain letters. I cringe when I get to the bottom of a lovely thought-provoking email and it says to send it to 10 friends in 15 seconds or you’ll be forever plagued with loneliness, warts, creeping underwear, whatever! It would take me longer than 15 seconds to pick the [...]
“There ain’t no way to hide your lyin’ eyes.” The Eagles had it right. I have a friend who’s struggling with the painful memory of seeing her husband in bed with her best friend. Devastating to say the least when two people you trust with your life, “head for the cheatin’ side of town.” My [...]
Really well when you share a room with a bathroom WITHOUT A DOOR! In fact, a bathroom with ONLY ONE WALL! Yep. Toilet and sink behind half a wall and a flimsy rice paper blind. Oprah and Dr. Oz are always talking about the perfect “poop” but trust me, they’d be worrying about more than [...]
It’s not that I’m afraid of needles. I’m just not a big fan of having anything injected into my body. As a healthy 48-year-old woman, I figure I can fight the germs off. But this past summer I had a nasty flu that knocked me flat. Wrapped in a blanket shivering on the couch while [...]
Congratulations to Ellen DeGeneres, who snagged the coveted fourth judge’s position left vacant by Paula Abdul on American Idol. I’ll miss Paula’s gentle manner and her phenomenal experience in the music industry but Ellen’s compassionate nature and quirky sense of humour should really give Simon Cowell a run for his money. I can’t wait to [...]
Mirror, mirror on the wall, you are not my friend at all. Mirrors in department store fitting rooms have to be the worst. Must be cheap glass because I don’t look like that in my mirrors at home. If I’m shopping for clothes and the mirror lies to me, I say to my husband, “bad mirror day,” and that’s his cue to head straight for the nearest exit.
