You’ve got something against bacteria-based cuisine? Me, too.

Also, many credit cards will pay the insurance you when you use it to rent a car. When I got my first credit card, my dad taught me that I should never owe money unless I’m making money with the money that I owe. All credit cards should be paid off at the end of the month. Using a debit card to avoid going into debt…

My mom used to a lot of sundowning and wandering when she was still living at home with Alzheimer’s. There is nothing scarier than waking up and finding out that she is gone, wandering around god-knows-where. I, too, felt bad about putting her in a memory care facility. Then one night I was over there for something…

I am 61 with almost no wrinkles, crows feet, etc. I started my moisturizing regimen when I was about your age.

Maybe because we are talking about accusations made by nut job and scorned woman Mia Farrow. Remember her? The young girl who screwed around with and stole Dory Previn’s (much older) husband? The woman who told Allen that he had fathered a son when in fact she had been screwing around with Frank Sinatra, and the…

Better yet, celebrate the big X every five years. Give people a chance to get out of debt from the last one before it comes ‘round again.

I want her to become Putin’s lover and then dump Donnie in a very public and humiliating way. Melania would be trading up; Putin is much, much richer and way better looking. Whether or not she’s good at it, being the FLOTUS has upped Melania’s value considerably. She should cash in now while the getting’s good.

I was 21 when my first love died in a motorcycle accident. We’d been together for 5 years and I had counted on him being there for me. When you love someone, and they know you better than anyone, it’s hard to believe that they could leave forever.

I tried working in an office, sitting at a desk all day except for lunch hour when I would eat a big restaurant lunch special, then go back to my desk and sit some more. I got fat and felt tired all the time.

Sure, there are some crazy men. There are some crazy women. But 99%? Who else have you decided to blanket with a group judgement like that? All Blacks? All Jews? All people who don’t have your coloring and build or don’t come from where you come from? People are people and individuals are individuals. It’s good…

The only famous twins that interest me are Abby and Brittney Hensel.

Takei doesn’t even remember the guy. Who is to say that they even met? Brunton was a “former model/actor.” If we’re going to start stereotyping, how about a not-too-bright, trying to make connections model/actor who falls for “I’m George Takei.” from some random Asian guy.

Going to his ancestral home is a wonderful opportunity for him. Being away should clarify how important you are in his life. But MAKE SURE he packs his own stuff before he leaves. Do not let him tell you to handle it. Every time he mentions the trip, mention packing. Get boxes and have them right there. Do not…

Take up meditation, for real or just fake it. Tell them that you will be meditating for the next 30 minutes. Tell them they must not make any noise or movement around you and to leave you in silence. If they want to meditate, too, they may sit but not say anything. You might both actually get something out of…

One of my very first memories was of getting a migraine. I think I might have been about two years old. It’s true, they lessened considerably after menopause. And the invention of Imitrex changed my life. I didn’t have insurance but my doctor at the walk-in clinic used to give me his samples. I also volunteered…

I had a big ol’ tub on feet in my 180 sq ft studio apartment and wouldn’t have traded it for all the closets in the world. On a cold, or just stressful, day, nothing feels as good as slipping into a hot bath. I gave it up when I moved. I miss it dearly.

My kitchen is 12' long and 5 1/2' wide. Or little dining room is about 10' x 10'. When we renovated the kitchen, I eliminated every potential contractor who suggested opening up the kitchen. No, I do not want to look at dirty pots and pans while I eat.

I feel bad for the other actors and production staff. Not everyone has Kevin Spacey money in the bank. A lot of people are going to get a financial kick in the gut, through no fault of their own.

When Dinkins was mayor, Peter Grace was quoted calling Mario“Cuomo the Homo” and “Dinkins the Pinkins.” I remember Tanya Pinkins making some kind of “Huh?” response. http://www.nytimes.com/1992/10/08/nyregion/businessman-issues-apology-for-remarks.html

Years ago, before they went political, when the Trumps were just known as a boorish family with more money than taste, I was at the same hair salon while Ivanka was getting her blonde done. The colorist cattily whispered to me that she had been getting her hair dyed blonde since she was a toddler because Ivana wanted…
