Dear Sir or Madam...

As a public interest for the many people who email me on a daily basis, here are some things to know so you can take me off your distribution lists.

1. I don't have an appendage that needs to be increased in volume, strength nor size.

2. I'm not looking to refinance my mortgage nor is my home about to be foreclosed upon.

3. My credit card debt is under control.

4. I don't do drugs, m-kay, so I don't need Zanax, Soma (thought I love it), Valium, Ambien, Zoloft, Hydrocodone, Vicodin or Phentermine (actually, I don't even know what Phentermine is).

5. If the camera removed 10 pounds instead of adding it, I might be willing to fulfill Robert Pattinson, Pierce Brosnan, Jerry Seinfeld, Tyler Perry, et al's desire to have me co-star with them. Until then, no thanks.

6. I have plenty of home insurance, auto insurance and warranties, life insurance, dental insurance and health insurance.

7. I'm not looking for a career as a CSI, Photographer, Medical Billing Professional, Massage Therapist, Real Estate Agent, Teacher, Nurse or Chef. And, while I'm intrigued about what a Faith-Based degree would get me, I have no Faith so let's just move on.

8. My cable gets all the shows I want so I don't need any version of a Dish or DirectTV.

9. My love life is perfectly, well, non-existent, but that doesn't mean I want to hook up with you tonight nor meet my Christian soul mate (see #7).

10. I don't read Japanese or Russian.

11. I am very, very far from AARP status.

12. While I appreciate that you consider me a dear friend and am praying for me, I'm too lazy to wire any money to you so you can free up your millions from Nigeria, Ethiopia or Congo.

I hope you find this helpful in narrowing down your solicitations to someone who will be more likely to respond.

TV At Its Finest

I was talking to someone today who didn’t know who Bob Newhart was. I cut him some slack because he’s a youngster and didn’t grow up in the U.S. I told him about The Bob Newhart show and how it became a college drinking game and about Newhart, "Hi, I'm Larry; this is my brother Darryl, and this is my other brother Darryl." He was going to go to Wikipedia and do some research. The conversation got me thinking. Back in the day (like when dinosaurs were alive and I was young and there were only four channels on TV), we caught a lot of reruns of what are now considered classic TV. Especially, if you were a latchkey kid like I was, there wasn’t a lot going on in the afternoon/early evening so it was either soap operas or reruns unless you were allowed to be outside and play. And, of course, during summer vacation you had even more time to watch the boob tube. Here’s what I remember watching during those years: Gilligan’s Island, Big Valley (I’m still looking for my very own N...

February 2020

Most of 2020 sucked. But, there were some good moments that made memories to cling to. I'm going to review some of those moments from each month. (Disclaimer - my memory isn't what it used to be so this is my story and I'm sticking to it regardless of reality.) I moved into my house in May of 2019 and it was already hot out so I used the Arizona summer as an excuse not to do anything to my patio or yard. I don't recall what excuse I used to justify ignoring the both in the fall and winter. Let's go with complete laziness. It's entirely plausible. However, I had to get on the stick and pretty it up because I had a bunch of company scheduled for the spring. The first thing I did was get some inexpensive chairs from Target for my beat up table. I honestly thought I could jam them into my car. I really, really did. One would never guess I was a Tetris master. After several futile attempts, this is how it ultimately went down. Adam (answering cell): Hi, Kathy! Me: Hi...
