Welcome to Season 2! New Season, new podcast title! I was doing a video chat with a friend and we were discussing the current situation in our lives. I mentioned that there were things that were making me a very dull girl. I started listing them and I think they’re pretty funny. And most of them are true. I thought I’d share 25 things that are making me a dull girl and 25 things that are making me content. Maybe we have some things in common.

Welcome to the Introduction for the upcoming comedy short story series based on the real life of three best girlfriends. These comedy short stories explore what three women in midlife go through when they all find themselves single again. It’s not “The Golden Girls” and it’s not “30 Something” it’s that time of life in between. Be prepared to laugh. Be prepared to relate. Nothing is off-limits (well, almost nothing).

No matter what you call it: butt, derrière, arse, or hiney, our hind end has been revered as one of our greatest assets. (Sorry, I had to). As we age we may notice that things aren’t where they used to be. What can we do about it? Can we do anything about it? Yes, and no. So many factors play into how our rear view looks. Some are genetic, some are hormonal, some are diet and some are lack of exercise. I have a few ideas on how to treat our tush. . In this podcast episode I make an ass of myself.

This is an anecdote about a time I went to Costa Rica to a hot mineral water resort. I encountered a late 30-something man who decided that saying what he said to me was better than not saying anything at all. He was wrong! But it makes a really good story. https://www.kazakers.com

I’ve been shy about burping or passing gas around anyone for a very long time. I’m just bathroom shy. Period. Are bodily functions humiliating for you? They are for me. Or do you just let ‘er rip? I’ve got a ton of stories about it and I imagine you do too.

What can I say? The recent events regarding another young black man are intolerable. The only way I could express what I’m feeling is through poetry. Doesn’t make me sleep much better at night. But it helps. I passed this poem on to my dear African-American, male friends. Do I get it? Have I said anything that can help heal the suffering of the family and friends of any victims of violence perpetrated on young black men? (C)

I spent my share of time listening to gurus, Maharishis, Roshis, sages and guides. All in all I found with a little encouragement I knew what I needed to know, when I needed to know it. Teachers are fantastic until you hand over the responsibility for your life to them. Save some money and listen to my stories on my experiences and those of a few friends.
