There’s a point at which you hit a certain age, and all of a sudden everyone thinks you’re stupid… — For most of my life I have been noticed. Perhaps, you have been as well. You walked up to a counter, and people paid immediate attention to you. You were hitching a ride, and someone stopped within minutes. You had a problem at the bank, and everybody was falling over…

He says so. I don’t doubt that he will try. — Of course, the left was destroyed a long time ago. Between Reagan, Clinton, and Thatcher, any left that remains in the either the UK or US is in name only. The role of the left was never the implementation of human rights — that used to be shared between both…

The owner said that 65% of non-return clients did so because the hairdresser hadn’t listened to the client… — I have dead straight hair. I admit that earlier in my life, there wasn’t much you could do with it. It was very dark, and very straight. So imagine my consternation when, on several occasions, a couple of hairdressers told me that I had curly hair, and that nothing on…

And here we are — it’s happening again! — It was shortly after I arrived in London to live there — for the second time. For nearly a year in South Africa, I had shooting pains in my thighs. They worried me. The doctor, however, did not know what it was, and I suspect he rather thought it was…

What an incredible woman! Tina Turner was never a victim I take my hat off to Tina Turner. I bow in great humility to someone who was truly human. She epitomized what it was to live with pain, PTSD, and one health crises after another throughout her life, and never breathe a word about her loss…

Recycling is bs, as are carbon credits, and there is only one way! — Like Cassandra, I often say things that are unpopular. For a decade and a half, I’ve been saying that the only way to defeat climate change is to cut energy use, to stop half of all manufacturing, and that the reason that politicians don’t do anything is that they can’t…

Politicians are no longer focused on good governing, and there’s a reason. — There was a time when a politician’s job was to govern the country. This had more to do with administration. In other words, there were things to be done — bridges had to be built and roads taken care of, regulations were created so that nobody took advantage of anyone…

I have her permission to post it verbatim — as she wrote it. — A few weeks ago, I applied to get six free sessions on my medical insurance. I was declined on the basis that I needed long term therapy, and they didn’t provide it. As always, the people completely ignored all the assessments that I provided. I think the real issue was…

Fat cells reincarnate — I kid you not! — I’ve lost all my weight a couple of times in my life. I know how to eat, what to eat, and how to burn up energy. What I could never figure out was why it was so quick to return (at twice the speed of light) Then a little while…
