- Billy -
— Migration — THE Sponsor, Cousin Billy Kantor, would bring relatives escaping Russian Persecuting Pogroms filtering 2-3 at a time through Ellis Island, the Immigration reception area in New York. Not far from the Statue of Liberty, "Give us your Tired your Poor." And, putting them to work in his Haberdashery. "Billy Sells for Less" Sioux City, Iowa. Of course the suit-tie-and fedora were the 'Dress Code' of the day; probably not the case today.

Menopause
A bare-naked leg dangled desperately off the edge of the bed, as she struggled to adjust the temperature. (Men and pause) had ravaged her body, destroying its ability to maintain proper function. Hot then cold, tired then weak, insomnia followed by exhaustion. A cycle, years in the making.

Tush~Tickle
Zip-it-Up - Jean Disaster - Tail Tales Did you ever - I know that we all have - pushed the email send button to the wrong person and just want to lunge into the screen to take it back? Come-on, mercy please take-backs! As I scream and plead into this inhumane gadget: where is its 'inanimate' heart? It could be very embarrassing; no way I did this. I blame my autocorrect filter Ai, who would certainly know me more than 'me' what I intended. Why do we even bother to think anymore? I’m sure many of you can relate to the following true tale that happened to me.

We humans, we love our simple noises. Isn’t it great to be able to grunt and get a point across? Minimal effort. That’s what the human experience is about. Minimal effort for maximum output. In the English language, we have a lot of these. Ever notice a lot of them are two letters and end with an H?

A Very Honest Date
The waitress was very fat and I did not like her hair, but she had a good attitude as she guided me to my seat. The restaurant was not full on a Friday, so I guessed that the concert next door was still on and that it would fill up with people who had terrible taste in music later (the group playing truly sucked). I knew that my name was on the reservation list, but I still had a twenty ready in case she gave me a hassle.

At 44, I Gave Up Drinking, Now I Can't Stop Thinking (Of How Hot I Am)
"You're 44?! You look hot!" I'd like to let everyone on Medium know (sorry to those who are less attractive than me), that these are the words I need to live with hearing daily. Especially when I stroll the beach in Miami in my bikini.

Humorous Haikus
It all started during the "Short & Sweet" challenge, as I sat counting both syllables and letters for my last-minute haikus. Remember how they granted an extension because of a technical difficulty on the final day? I wrote several during that time – haikus, that is – and while I was rushing to get them submitted, there my husband was, writing haiku after haiku while he lounged in bed, loudly mocking me. Counting on his fingers.
