My doctor asked me if I was willing to take the Covid vaccine

I said yes, I was. I told him to phone me when he has it and I can come in and take it. I am 76 years old. Please give me any reasons you can come up with for why I shouldn't take it.

Have You Ever Had This Happen To You?

Anyone here had hypnosis treatment?

What did you have it for? Did it work? If you've read my Featured story here, you'd know why I want to try it. I had it once back in the 70s in Arizona for psychosomatic laryngitis and it brought back my voice and saved my grad program.

Has anyone here ever been to Boring, Oregon?

Was this rule fair?

I attended a good private school located in the Los Angeles area up in the Hollywood hills. I won't name it because I am grateful to them for the excellent academic education I got there. But I suffered greatly from the focused attention of the...

Best way to get knots out of hair?

After being sick and primarily bed ridden for months, my hair is full of knots. The last time I tried to get the knots out, it was pretty painful and I wound up cutting them out with a scissors. If necessary, I will just cut the knots out, then go t...

Finally Figuring It Out

When I was much younger, in the late 60s or early 70s, I really wanted to live on a farm or country place. I knew a lot of post Haight-Ashbury hippies had found old farm houses and move in as a group. So my boyfriend and I went looking for these grou...

Anyone remember reading this famous story?

The story: "The Most Dangerous Game" Author: Richard Connelly Published in a magazine (Colliers, I think) in 1923. It's great fiction but do you think there might be a real island somewhere like Shipwreak Island? A real person like Ge...

What do you do when someone out shouts you in an argument?

I just bought a bullhorn.

As a small child about 4 years old, I was nervous about learning to swim. Other kids I knew had swimming pools, but I had no experience with playing in water. My mother took me to a swim school, but I flunked out. All the other kids laughed at me, th...

Eating is not a Federal Offense

I wish to protest against people who believe that a fat person who is eating something (or anything) is commiting a major felony and will soon be arrested. I refer to those many people, especially my literary agent, who see me eating something and ...

I Fear The Dutch

I have a fear of the Netherlands, and of the Dutch people. I know better, because I have been to Amsterdam and have met only good, kind, helpful people there. The cheese was pretty good, too. The tulips were beautiful. I also smoked some pretty dece...
