The Cancer Book: Chemotherapy, Round Two
Let’s get really to rumble! Actually, after dealing with chemotherapy, round one, I’d be happy with a lot less rumbling – rumbling here used as a euphemism for frequent vomiting and explosive diarrhea.
Molly, Miley & Other Things That the News is Completely Clueless About
Last weekend, 20-year-old Olivia Rotondo and 23-year-old Jeffrey Russ died of alleged Molly overdoses sustained at Electric Zoo Festival on Randall’s Island, NY.
The Cancer Book
Rod’s cancer is in his body but it belongs to us both. There is not one second that I am not thinking of it and choking from the fear of it. He takes a pain pill and I take something for stress. We take turns getting up throughout the night…
Sallie Mae: The Clingiest Girlfriend You Never Had
Remember when George McFly told us, “If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything?” Well, he was lying. Hey, youth of America, a word of advice: if you want to succeed, don’t go to college.
The Downfall of Taylor Swift
Remember when people really liked Taylor Swift? When she first burst onto the music scene back in 2006, fans instantly related to her honest lyrics and down to earth personality.

When I say “brought in” I mean: taken from the waiting room, entered the exam room and had the doctor come in right away. *crickets chirp* Thaaaat’s what I thought.
Jackie Takes a Visit to the Optometrist
I have been yelled at dozens of times by my family to get contacts, or to “go put on your glasses!” “stop squinting!” ” you’re going to kill a pedestrian!” etc. etc. Have I hit a person before? Yes. But in my defense he and his bike came out of nowhere, and once he put his hand on the hood I knew he was there!
Buntington Manor’s Notable Holiday Song List
Everyone has their favorite holiday songs. You are understandably welcome to express your personal opinion about the selections below and the particular artists that performed them (as long as you realize that you are wrong if you disagree with me)
What Jesus Christ, Bill Murray & 9/11 Have in Common
Christmas is a fraud. Let me be clear about my feelings concerning this cash-grab of a holiday right now. From my understanding of the olden days, the Christian church needed to offset Pagan rituals that occurred at this time of year and came up with a date that featured a lovely, squeaky-clean hero baby that didn’t drink, smoke or spit on public sidewalks.
