About Me
"Mom, you're on crack," my kids' favorite response to my valuable comments." I like to think of myself as the grandma humorist of the 21st Century. At best, I'm Erma Bombeck on crack.
I've been telling people what to do for years. And for the same number of years, they've been ignoring me. What better way to continue the tradition than to start blogging!
I hope you enjoy my funny... working its way up to hilarious... blog.
Please leave COMMENTS. I love to know you enjoy the posts. Some days your comments make my whole day. I'm of the age when that might be as good as it gets!

That’s a stretch
The front seat of Couponman’s car is always cluttered with torn coupons, receipts, and miscellaneous debris picked up at the 99¢ Store. I try to scooch to the front edge of the seat so that I don’t disturb his treasures. … Continue reading

Hot toothbrushes anyone?
You remember I don’t do Christmas shopping, actually any kind of shopping, right? We received a Costco coupon in the mail for $20 off Sonicare toothbrushes, and figured everyone in the family could use a little hygiene. I sent Couponman off … Continue reading
Jaws of life
My sister introduced me to the perfect razor just for women — the Venus. I’ve always struggled with those cheapish disposable razors. Then I remembered Couponman had brought me a razor as some swag from a convention he’d attended. Through … Continue reading
Fair play
Yesterday I was off to one of my favorite places to play — the Los Angeles County Fair. Let’s hope it wasn’t a repeat of a couple of years ago when the GAP and the grandkids accompanied me. It was 103° and the … Continue reading

Wannabes
“There’s a $4.94 interest charge on my account,” I complained to the customer service rep at American Express. “It shouldn’t be there; I signed up for autopay.” I heard a snicker. I’m sure she’s heard that as many times as … Continue reading
