High School Sex Education

My high school graduation nearly 50 years ago has been generating flashbacks of experiences at Bishop Kelly High School as well as Tulsa, OK. Two of my best friends in high school were Chris Milberger and Chris Bernard. I remember one summer the two Chris’s and I we’re hanging out together and ended up downtown. … More High School Sex Education

I’d do you!

During the summer I purchased a new pair of shoes in my favorite brand that just happened to be orange. One day I wore those orange shoes with a navy blue suit, an orange patterned dress shirt and a very bright matching Ted Baker bow tie. I’m not being boastful because I’m a realist and … More I’d do you!

Eye of the Beholder

My husband and I recently had a new experience that had been recommended to us by friends for decades. We had our first pedicure. For years friends had suggested we try it because they told us it was relaxing and a pampering experience. The fact that I have always had one of the ugliest pairs … More Eye of the Beholder

Welcome to America

One of the things I learned in grade school was the concept of America as a melting pot. The idea that people from all over the world, regardless of their nationality, race or religion came together to make a stronger nation was powerful to me. I have never changed my view.

Urinal Etiquette

Some time ago, I had to use a public urinal.  Before going further, it is important that I explain a little about urinal etiquette.  Most men will recognize these rules but women may not be aware of these gender specific guidelines.  When a man is standing at a public urinal, especially when the location has … More Urinal Etiquette

OMG, Let me in!!

I worked on my own at the retail gig yesterday.  Toward the end of my day while waiting for my replacement, I got a call to action by my bladder (a call which should be understood by anyone reading this).  However, I continued to get customers and, as a result, kept putting off the call.  … More OMG, Let me in!!

Story Time

Today I shared my favorite retail story with a group of young men who were resting in the shoe department. Unfortunately, my manager overheard the end of the story and the words “weed” and “dope” were added to the list of words I’m not supposed to use with customers. A short note about my manager. … More Story Time

Short Clips

Recently at my retail gig, a woman sought out my advice on pajamas for her husband. I explained that I haven’t worn pajamas for over 40 years. As a result, I don’t have any personal experience with sleepwear in the store. I told her I couldn’t even imagine how much money I had saved over … More Short Clips

Keep Em’ Moving

This evening while working at my retail gig, it was busy but nothing that couldn’t be handled easily.  That is until the gentleman I work with went to lunch.  About five minutes later all hell broke loose.  It was as if a city bus stopped right outside our department.  First, multiple guys all wanted shoes … More Keep Em’ Moving
