Thank You, Donald Trump

Posted on December 16, 2019 by Reggie

Thank you, Donald Trump. I may not like you or respect you, but you have helped make me more aware of the state of the world. You say stupid things, you pick on people and you lie. And, that makes … Continue reading →

Touch Me, Don’t Touch Me

Posted on December 3, 2019 by Reggie

Here’s the thing about massages—they feel so good, yet they’re a complete and total mindfuck for me. A spa is like one, big aphrodisiac. It’s as if they’re sliding a tray of oysters down your throat the moment you walk … Continue reading →

She’s Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

Posted on November 22, 2019 by Reggie

It was 1998 when she was destroyed. I was 29, and she was just 24. We share the same birthday, five years apart. I’m making it sound like I know her, but I don’t. I know her the same way … Continue reading →

Lbs, Lbs Go Away

Posted on October 14, 2019 by Reggie

Dieting fucking sucks. I hate it with every bit of the fat layers that insulate my thighs, gut and neck region. I hate it like I hate people who lie. And, I hate it like I hate my banana bread … Continue reading →

Posted on May 30, 2019 by Reggie

So, turning fifty offers lots of perks. I went on a few amazing girls’ trips; my period is debuting less and less; I was thrown a surprise party, where a stripper had me straddle his face in front of the … Continue reading →

A Second Chance

Posted on April 25, 2019 by Reggie

My mother is head over heels in love! I really can’t believe it. She’s a 77-year-old widow, who never thought she’d find fulfillment in comparison to the memory of my father. Her constant gushing about her new love is proof … Continue reading →

What do you mean you don’t Venmo?

Posted on April 9, 2019 by Reggie

I get it that my mom, who’s in her 70s, doesn’t know how to copy and paste a simple line of text and probably doesn’t even realize there’s a private message feature on FaceBook. What I don’t get, though, is … Continue reading →

Greener Pastures

Posted on March 31, 2019 by Reggie

“Why would you wear those pants? They showcase your muffin top.” That’s called fat-shaming. “Why do your legs spread as easily as cream cheese on a bagel?” That’s called slut-shaming, In my day, it was just called being a nasty … Continue reading →

TO EAT IS HUMAN; TO BE THIN, DIVINE.

Posted on February 18, 2019 by Reggie

If Oprah is doing it, then so am I. About every three years, I give Weight Watchers a try. It’s usually at the point where the one pair of jeans that don’t constrict my abdominal region have absolutely no more … Continue reading →

Confessions of a Weirdo

Posted on January 29, 2019 by Reggie

Who the fuck eats the green Mike and Ikes? Or the green lifesavers? Why do they even make that flavor? Or, is the question really: Who still eats this tooth-rotting shit? This is where my hand shoots up from the … Continue reading →
