I’m Not a Doctor, but I Play One on the Web
By Michele Wojciechowski on May 27, 2021
While I love the Internet, there’s one thing about it that makes me run screaming away from my computer. Is it because I can learn—up to the minute—what crisis is going on in the lives of each and every Kardashian? Nope. Because I keep getting ads that ask if I want to become a million-dollar […]

Freaking People Out is as Easy as a Shot in the Ear
By Michele Wojciechowski on February 25, 2021
I’ve found that there are simple things you can say that will immediately get people’s attention. Like, “Hey, I won the lottery.” Or, “Look, they’re giving away free beer.” And, “I got a needle in my eardrum.”

Mothra vs. Wojo
By Michele Wojciechowski on November 5, 2020
It was a normal, sunny day in the land of Wojo. And in her home office, our heroine was reading through some notes on her desk, preparing to write a story. The townspeople—AKA her two dogs—were sleeping peacefully at her feet. It was a good day. Until it arrived…

Scare Tactics
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.

By Michele Wojciechowski on October 27, 2020
The lights are low and the air is filled with ghosts and ghouls on our Halloween-themed show. In this episode, each of the gang has a scary recommendation of an “off the beaten path” scary movie.

Cleanliness is Next to Sloppiness
By Michele Wojciechowski on September 22, 2020
During this pandemic and its related quarantine, I’ve learned quite a bit about myself. I love sitting on the front porch and watching nature. I love having my husband work from home. Oh, and evidently, I’m both a neatnik and a total slob at the same time. Think these two ways of living can’t possible […]

By Michele Wojciechowski on August 25, 2020
Because we’ve been under quarantine for months now, many of us have hair that’s looking a bit–well, let’s say that sans haircuts or color or blowouts or…you get the picture. Our hair has seen better days. At least I know not to cut it myself. I did that once years ago, and it was a […]
