I hate going to see Dr. McIntyre. Seems like I go in for one problem and I come out on seventeen different pills and a low-sodium-no-taste diet. At this rate, I need a pill organizer the size of a suitcase!

I was going to bring my homemade blueberry buckle for Sunday dinner, but my daughter’s mother-in-law is bringing a fancy pie from a bakery. I guess some people prefer to let someone else preheat the oven and still collect the compliments.

My girl gives me a permanent every 8 weeks and I use the Aquanet in the white can, spray and tease it up with a rattail comb. I get so many compliments on it.

Your hair is beautiful! You get such lift on top. What's your secret?

Oh my goodness! I don’t even know what this is honey, but it looks like all the kids want to be a part of it.

I would love a person sized car wash. I’d sit in a shower chair and glide on through!

I’m going to share with you the best piece of advice I was ever given, by my mother-in-law, may she rest in peace. Never, and I mean never give anyone the actual recipe for any of your specialties. Always leave something out. Sharon sounds like a troublemaker

My cousin, Sharon, keeps asking for my ziti recipe but I dont want her taking credit for it at potluck. Thoughts?

I’m not one to gossip, but I saw Robert grab a regular pudding cup when the sugar free one was right there and I know he has Diabetes. If he isn’t careful he’s gonna end up like that William Brigley

Enjoying my Bradenton Florida vacation but I don’t much care for sand getting in my crevices. You can get a pretty nasty rash if you don’t clean it all out

A picture I took of myself with the camera in my telephone. My hair is brown and I had just gotten a permanent so I couldn’t go in the water. I wanted to take a picture of me on the beach but you can only see the top of my head and the beach in the background. The sky is blue, the water is turquoise.

My great-granddaughter got new sneakers and told me to check out her "new drip." I told her if she has drips she should call a plumber! Anyway, I think my new shoes are much more smart-looking.

A very smart-looking lace up shoe by Soft Spots©™ that is buff colored with embroidered designs and a slight wedge heel for just the right amount of lift for sexiness.

If there’s one thing I miss about having a man around the house, it’s getting my pickle jar opened

Trudy won’t stop bragging about her “DOCTOR SON” but I found out from Judith that he’s just a chiropractor. A back cracker isn’t gonna be saving any lives, that’s for sure.

Edna “accidentally” tripped over her walker and landed face down in Earl’s lap. Rumor has it, he’s taking her to the Olive Garden for lunch tomorrow.

How did Edna get so lucky? That one time I fell, I got nothing but a broken hip!

Wanda went to that belly dancing class at the senior center and now she finds any reason she can to “practice” her moves. She wears that blasted jingle belt and with those big hips, you can’t even hear your story on the tv

Getting ready for the church bake sale and I had no butter for my famous “kitchen sink cookies.” Went to borrow some from my neighbor Frank but all he had was a tub of Parkay. Midge would roll over in her grave if she saw how he’s living now.

Maggie Johnson is always bragging about her “homemade” pumpkin pies, but I stopped in for afternoon tea one time and saw a Pillsbury pie crust box in her trash can. White lies are still lies if you ask me.

Personally, I think the new choir robes are far too short. I heard from the organist that Father John has a thing for cankles, but you didn’t hear that from me.

I seen Gloria borrow $20 from Brenda at the church bazaar on Friday and I don’t think it’s cause she left her purse at home, like she said. Personally, I think she’s having money problems, but I don’t wanna talk about this because I don’t like to gossip.

Mary Hogan lost 40 pounds and she’s expecting us to believe it’s from “lifestyle changes.” Sure Mary, maybe if those “lifestyle changes” are Ozempic and shoving 2 fingers down your throat.
