Since when did eating out become so darn hard?

Since when did eating out become so darn hard?

I don't know if it's an old person thing, but I'm getting really jacked off when I eat out lately. From being totally ignored when you stand at the please wait to be seated sign to being ignored when you are actually lucky enough to score a seat, [...]

Inspiration ad will make you look better. Maybe.

I love the Bupa ads that inspire you to be a better you. I often wake up on Monday morning looking like the lesser version. Take a look and see if these images inspire you for 2012. By the way--these Bupa ads--what on earth is Bupa?

More Jane Fonda

More Jane Fonda

Last week in my weekly column I mentioned the Jane Fonda workouts. By the way have you seen Jane Fonda lately. She looks really good for a 70 year old. Here's here picture. Actually to be fair she looks really good for a 30 year old. Dressed [...]

I accept no kudos for this post. I've lifted this from Robert Rosenthal's Huffington Post column. Sorry. But it made me laugh. To my father, Spam was canned ham. To my daughter, it's naughty, annoying email. Here are 21 more expressions which [...]

This is my weekly column from the Townsville Bulletin's Savvy magazine. Can you touch type? Kudos. Big merit to you. Well it would be a big merit if you were completing the 100 Point Behaviour Test for Teenagers formulated in 1953 by Dr George [...]

That’s bananas

Apparently bananas can do all manner of things that some of us many never have known. Sadly for me I will never be able to test these things out since a single banana is worth the economy of a small Pacific island. God I miss [...]

Five recently cool things

Five recently cool things

This is my Gen X Girl column for this week's Savvy magazine published in The Townsville Bulletin. I’m starting to think I might be quite old. I actually remember when the internet was discovered. OK, it wasn’t discovered like Captain Cook [...]

Things that wobble and make you look old

Things that wobble and make you look old
