Retinal Rage, Part II (Electric Boogaloo)
By Michele Wojciechowski on January 28, 2021
When we last left our intrepid columnist, she had just had her pupils dilated to the size of pie plates and was about to get examined by the retinal specialist, Dr. J. The column ended with her seeing something that she had never seen before. First Dr. J. made me put my chin in that […]

Retinal Rage
By Michele Wojciechowski on January 21, 2021
Not quite two years ago, I was at a writers’ conference. After I got a shower one morning, I looked into the mirror in the bathroom and was frightened by what I saw.

He’s Too Sexy for His Pants
By Michele Wojciechowski on January 14, 2021
My husband is a tough man to buy gifts for. This isn’t because he’s picky about them. He just doesn’t really want for much. Seriously. It’s probably a good thing, as I’m the opposite. I can see a catalog and think, “Wow—this would look great in the living room” or “I would love to have […]

A Weighty Issue
By Michele Wojciechowski on January 7, 2021
The beginning of the year is the time when we get a clean slate—if we’ve screwed up in the last 12 months, we can “wipe it clean” and begin again. And considering that lots of us may have put on what they’re referring to as the COVID 19—like the Freshman 15 for the 15 pounds […]

Countless Christmas Catalogs
By Michele Wojciechowski on December 10, 2020
When I was a little girl, one of the most magical things about the Christmas season was in a book that arrived at our home each year. At about a couple of inches thick, it was filled with the dreams of every good girl and boy at Christmastime. (Well, I’m sure the bad ones like […]

Phishing for Dates
By Michele Wojciechowski on December 3, 2020
I love social media. There, I said it. I know that a lot of folks don’t like it because it can be negative or people can try and scam you. I totally understand. But it’s also brought me back in touch with a lot of people from various areas of my life. If social media […]

The Seven Day Rule
By Michele Wojciechowski on November 27, 2020
My husband and I have been together since, well as I tell folks, God was a boy. And while it hasn’t quite been that long, we’ve been with together long enough to be aware of each other’s idiosyncrasies—even if we still don’t fully understand them.

By Michele Wojciechowski on October 29, 2020
I usually write a Halloweenesque column that focuses on the rules of Trick-or-Treating. But with the pandemic and quarantine happening, I figured that I needed a new theme. This year, I’m going to give you tips on What To Do If You Find Yourself In A Horror Movie.

Mosquitoes Really Suck
By Michele Wojciechowski on October 8, 2020
When I was a little girl, I hated mosquitoes. Not that anyone actually loves the little suckers. But I really, really hated them. Because when I got bit by mosquitoes, the bites swelled up so bad that if I got them behind my knees, it was tough to bend them. Seriously. It was just awful. […]
