The Old Broad Sheet. Keeping It Together While You're Falling Apart. Monday, March 5, 2012. Thinking on my feet and not my butt. Is okay as long as it’s not red.) On the day of the event, you eat, nor drink, a single thing. Oh, I forgot the part about…Oops. Excuse me; I’ll be right back…Anyway, there’s this stuff you drink, four liters of it (That’s over a gallon in English) that acts a lot like Liquid Plumr. A big green parrot) or lamia. What's wrong with this picture? It is an outrageously potty-mouthe...

The Old Broad Sheet: December 2010
http://oldbroadsheet.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
The Old Broad Sheet. Keeping It Together While You're Falling Apart. Thursday, December 30, 2010. A bump in the road of progress. Most of mine were small, but there was one walnut-sized lump in my armpit. It underlay the incision for the sentinel node biopsy and every kind of bra sat right on top of the incision and every movement of my arm chafed and irritated the lump even more. Can you say %$&@$#. As of this writing, the hematoma is the size of a marble. More good news: My eye is healing from the reti...

The Old Broad Sheet: January 2014

The Old Broad Sheet. Keeping It Together While You're Falling Apart. Tuesday, January 7, 2014. Still, I can’t cast aspersions; I’ve hoards of my own that need big time paring down. So, as one of my 2014 resolutions, I’ve decided to reduce the amount of recipes I’ve collected over the past decades and, ultimately, minimize the time spent dealing with them. Sounds easy enough, eh? Inside, I file the recipes alphabetically by predominant ingredient. I’ve cooked all these puppies before, at one tim...As an a...

The Old Broad Sheet: November 2013

The Old Broad Sheet. Keeping It Together While You're Falling Apart. Tuesday, November 5, 2013. Road Scholar group at journey's end. - Photo courtesy Kay Levitt. I apologize for not posting to The Old Broad Sheet. For such a long time. After working fifty years, I'm finding retirement is not an easy adjustment. Then there's dealing with the hard evidence of not just getting old, but of having already arrived. Including a helicopter flight to the bottom depths of the canyon). 8220;Pull down the barricades!

The Old Broad Sheet: August 2008
http://oldbroadsheet.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
The Old Broad Sheet. Keeping It Together While You're Falling Apart. Saturday, August 16, 2008. A Visit with the Old Broad. Here’s a snapshot of me and Mom from my visit with her last month. We did little except hang out together, which was exactly what each of us wanted to do. We did make a visit to the local mortuary/crematorium to talk with the experts about what to do when…. Oddly reassuring for both of us (in a chilling sort of way). The visit was instructive in another sense as well. Perhaps that&#...

The Old Broad Sheet: May 2008

The Old Broad Sheet. Keeping It Together While You're Falling Apart. Saturday, May 31, 2008. I get annoyed with a stock phrase in all the health and nutrition newsletters I subscribe to:. 8220;Talk with your healthcare professional.”. When I first moved to Snowflake I got an appointment with a woman gynecologist thinking she would be more in tune with my female concerns. I had been on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) at that time for about 15 years and was thinking of ending treatment. When booking my l...

The Old Broad Sheet. Keeping It Together While You're Falling Apart. Sunday, March 2, 2008. February, my favorite month, exceeded all expectations this year. I got my first ever Social Security payment, turned in my resignation at work, and, on the 29. Wedding anniversary (that’s 32 in regular years). The accompanying picture is the wonderful flower arrangement given me and Bob by our friends, the Kennedys. I didn’t have any flowers at my wedding and this gesture just thrilled me.). See above – bec...

The Old Broad Sheet: July 2012
http://oldbroadsheet.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
The Old Broad Sheet. Keeping It Together While You're Falling Apart. Friday, July 13, 2012. How I spent my summer vacation (brought back to life). I traveled when I was younger, but for the past 15 years or so, the only vacation trips I made were driving (or occasionally taking the train) to Colorado to visit Mom. Since I haven’t that annual trip on my calendar anymore, I decided to save my money so that I could visit my nearest and dearest all around the country. Iconic pic of St. Pete from the pier.

While researching for this post, I ran across a study done by Northwestern University suggesting certain vegetable oils, specifically corn, soybean and canola, cause lung inflammation and, possibly, asthma. I stopped using canola two months ago. If you have...

The Old Broad Sheet. Keeping It Together While You're Falling Apart. Friday, November 26, 2010. Rachel Brown, 1918 - 2010. After I had written a number of blog posts, I printed them out and sent them to Mom. I phoned her for her reaction. They seem like a lonely person trying to have a conversation with someone.". Mom may not have known squat about social networking, but she was damn perceptive. As deaths go, it was the kind most of us would wish for. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.
