The Bathroom Post

(re-run) Nobody talks about it, except those red bears on the toilet paper commercial. Everybody poops. Or they at least try to. Older folks often have trouble in this department because the body is less efficient, and everything slows down, especially the digestive system. My days of eating nachos for lunch are over, my friends.… Continue reading The Bathroom Post

Sally’s Downward Dog Disaster

(re-run) The first Women’s March was planned for the next day. Sally went to her friend, Lisa’s, to make a poster for the march.

Lisa’s cute little… Continue reading Sally’s Downward Dog Disaster
