The other day I posted a story. It may have been one of my favorites, and judging from the responses I received, it may have been one of yours as well. Readers had a string of reactions to my tale of a Pink Hellhome. Many of you applauded this post, celebrating the sassy and raving [...]
I’ve wondered for many years how James Carville and Mary Matalin do it. I’m a politically liberal-minded woman, and while I strongly support every person’s right to their own set of beliefs, I can’t quite imagine crawling into bed at night to snuggle with a Bush-conservative. Sure, that Bush-conservative deserves someone to snuggle with too, [...]
Despite the vast brainpower and talent that clearly comprises my readership, all I heard were crickets in response to my plea for your help composing a poetic response to Mr. C. Perhaps the pressure was too great? After all, it is hard to beat the perfection of his poor poetry. But I was determined to [...]
Lately I’ve received a slew of one word e-mails from men on Plenty of Fish. So many, in fact, that I was beginning to wonder if perhaps they’d started to charge by the word and these were just the cheapskates of the Free Internet Dating Association. But no, that site continues to be free. It [...]

That was nice enough, and his photos were handsome. He had a very strong, masculine face. Big brown eyes with long eyelashes, a [...]
Today flew by without a post from me. But not without good reason. I am in the process of a redesign and am preparing to move How Very Lucky off of Blogger and onto it’s very own site! I have Willy to thank for his encouragement and support, and for offering the services of his [...]
I was walking home from work last night. It was a beautiful night. The air was crisp, but not too cold. I had my iPhone on full volume and was walking in step with the beat of the jj n° 2 record. The laughter from “Intermezzo” came roaring into my ears the exact same moment [...]
I assume by now you read yesterday’s post. If you didn’t, you may want to catch up here first.
As promised, here are the things that make me want to vomit:
Mack writes like a 12-year-old. This would suggest that his job in “advertising” is not that of a copywriter. Unless that advertising agency is run by 12-year-olds.
He [...]
So I just got home and logged onto Plenty of Fish to find this e-mail from a 34-year-old guy with no profile photo.
Hello My name is Mack. I live in the Kensington area of Brooklyn. I just finished reading your ad and I find your ad very intriguing. I’m 34 and I’m 5’10 with a [...]
