Greetings...

I guess before I get started I should clear up something that was brought
to my attention by a few readers after Friday's column. While talking
about my experience with food poisoning, I joked about cravings and
said, "if I had a Uterus"...

Those five words created some doubt from long-time readers who became
confused as to my gender even though they had been reading my columns
for years. I guess, given the times we are in, assuming one thing and
then getting thrown a curve might do it, but I thought that a few emails
from people might be a small percentage of the people who actually
wondered the same thing. So here it is in a nutshell...

100% female here. The Uterus is in the Smithsonian due to a hysterectomy
at 26 years old...

This also means...

If you are male and have hit on me in email for years and got a chill
if and when you thought I was a male on Friday, relax, you aren't Gay...

On the other hand...

If you are a female who has hit on me from time to time in email through
the years knowing I am female, you are Gay...

And last, but not least...

If you are male, female, straight or Gay and have, or are thinking about
hitting on me...

I'm happily married...

I hope this has helped clear up the confusion...

Thank you veddy much...

Do you have your Christmas shopping done yet? What are you waiting for?
It's the beginning of November, a local radio station is already playing
Christmas music, Christmas decorations are up or going up, and stores
are doing their best to make sure their sales are impressive by loading
up the TV screen with advertisements to get everyone in the mood...

It gets earlier and earlier every year and while I understand the retail
stores either make or break their year with the sales for Christmas,
the stress this particular holiday creates for the majority of people
is reason enough to limit the frenzy a little...

People who are organized probably use the whole year to prepare and
buy gifts for people. People that are procrastinators will wait until
the last minute no matter how early you start the insanity, and people
in the middle will do a little of both...

I admit, I already bought one gift, and it was for myself. What did I
buy?

A bottle of Aspirin...
