Why I am buying real books again. No, it is not so my one year old puppy can nibble on them, though that may have happened! My friend & I visited Costco the other night (yes, it was a big Friday night!) and I purchased 3 classic books in hardcover. I had orders two more.Continue reading “Random Thoughts”

On the Narcissist
When you are dealing with a narcissist co-parent people who have never experienced one will say things like: it will all turn out, the kids will be fine, just be nice and he’ll come around, and… just sit down and talk to him about it. These reasonable advice givers do not understand that the moreContinue reading “On the Narcissist”
The Narcissist
If you thought the narcissist was bad while you were together (looking back since you did not see it then), calling you crazy, “forgetting” he or she said things, accusing you of an affair in front of your children after you go out fir drinks with colleagues (never mind his weekend “team building” over theContinue reading “The Narcissist”
Unmasked
Is this week really any different from last? Not in any real way except that the CDC has awakened to political pressure if not reality. It was good to see my Catholic church finally do away with its mask mandate even if it did wait for CDC to dictate it. I am more impressed withContinue reading “Unmasked”
Distilling the News or How to Ruin a Country in 126 Days
Are you ready for your daily dose of what some call “conspiracy” and I call common sense? This comedy of errors called the Biden “presidency” is making me want to read Ayn Rand’s 1,000 plus page philosophical work Atlas Shrugged again.

Further, the definition is being expanded so greatly. The ludicrous natureContinue reading “The Problem With Modern Day “Racism””
Growth
Some people might consider it failure. But I am proud that I took the oldest house in Naples Park and renewed it. I did it at the height of COVID. I didn’t know our properties would be in such Deb and a year later and couldn’t hold it that long even if I did. YouContinue reading “Growth”
The Narcissist:Can You Ever Escape?
I am a lawyer by training, not a psychiatrist or even psychologist. What I write is purely experiential. I had never really explored the meaning of the term “narcissist.” I certainly never realized I had been married to one. But then I began to research and learn and the truth was overwhelming. As you beginContinue reading “The Narcissist:Can You Ever Escape?”
Walk a Day in My Shoes 👠
This is a true undercover story. I decided to become as one of the disadvantaged members of our society to gain compassion. Well, I wish that were true. But the sad truth is this is a story about my life. I went to law school, married a man there with a similar level graduate degree.Continue reading “Walk a Day in My Shoes 👠”
10 Things To Never Do As A Guest In Someone’s Home | LittleThings.com
I wondered if I was being too strict or weird by hesitating to share my home WiFi password. I operate a home law office and also conduct real estate transactions so I try to keep on top of cyber security, which of course can be quite the job today with all of the full timeContinue reading “10 Things To Never Do As A Guest In Someone’s Home | LittleThings.com”
