BREAKING NEWS: Gloria Steinem Dead At 92 (Sept. 3, 2026)
Gloria Steinem, feminist and founder of Ms. magazine, has died yesterday and announced today, at age 92.
In the 1990s, the staff of Ms. magazine spelled the word "feminism" wrong on the cover of an issue. At the time, it made me laugh. This photo is NOT digitally altered because I actually bought a copy at a newsstand in New York City, thinking that it may be worth something someday. This is the actual cover, however it's not my issue. I still have the magazine in a storage unit. It now could actually be worth something.
I know it's not nice to celebrate the death of anyone, but I have been a Men's Rights Activist since the early 1990s, when I was in my early 30s. Nah. I'm not celebrating. It's just that death is inevitable; she lived a long life; and I am not as headstrong, having mellowed over the years in regard to Men's Rights Activism. I'm still a warrior, but now, I'm just a keyboard warrior, hence this post.
We were distant and indirect adversaries, fighting on opposite sides of the same coin, trying to meet in the middle. Well, she and her followers were and still are fighting for female superiority over men, basically the oppression of men by women, but that's a different story.
It's somewhat like liberals wanting the death of Donald Trump, but WITHOUT the malice. NO malice and NO hatred toward Steinem comes from me.
It's more like that Star Trek episode, where that old space sailor's spaceship was stuck inside an alien monster. He was finally liberated after many years by the Star Trek people. The last scene shows him navigating his ship back inside the monster, seemingly because he misses their adversarial relationship. I never read "Moby Dick," but I think it's similar. Is it?
Everyone needs an adversary. That's the popularity of sports and related rivalries. Anyway, it's sad that she is gone, but then again, there are plenty more adversaries in this regard.
Trivia: I remember reading in the 1990s that WOMEN had more subscriptions to Playboy magazine than to Ms. magazine, which went from a monthly magazine to being published every other month due to low readership. I'm not sure if they ditched the print version and are just sticking with the digital version.

I like Welsh Rarebit, but I haven't eaten it in a long while. You can sometimes find it packaged by Stouffer's in the frozen-food section of supermarkets. While Welsh Rarebit is basically toasted bread topped with cheese, it has a reputation of causing bizarre and disturbing nightmares after being consumed. Some say this is the truth. Some say that it is just a myth. A basic explanation is that eating cheese promotes the REM sleep state, which is when dreaming occurs.

I have had beards on and off throughout my adult life. I currently have somewhat of a beard because I haven't been able to stand to shave because of recent surgeries and other medical issues.

I would often go bowling when I was a kid in the 1960s and 1970s. I never played in a league.

I am participating, so, sincerely, if I have ever wronged you, I am sorry. Please forgive me. Remember. Forgiving someone is partially for the other person, but it is mostly for yourself.

Today, we recognize words that do not rhyme with any other words in the English language, like the word orange. Eminem said that it "pisses me off" when people claim the word orange does not rhyme with anything, explaining that you can make it rhyme by bending and breaking down syllables. In an interview, he famously freestyled the lines: "I put my orange, four-inch, door-hinge in storage and ate porridge with George."

September is National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. I created and uploaded a short video last year in this regard onto my YouTube channel. (length: 1 minute) ... I thought it better to post it again instead of creating and posting a new video where I would say the same thing.

Happy Birthday Dad (August 30, 2026)
From husband Bill, August 30, 2026, home
Happy Birthday to my father (August 30, 1934 - February 14, 1997). I still sorely and immensely miss him.
The top photo shows my dad and me in December 1974 at the house of my great-aunt Rose in East Orange, New Jersey. I was 13 years old. The bottom photo shows my dad aboard the Queen Elizabeth II (QEII) cruise ship during the 1980s; I can't remember exactly when it was.
My dad died at age 62 on his mother's birthday -- she passed away on May 22, 1977 -- and the day after the birthday of his sister who still resides on Long Island, New York.
Dad was cremated. Half of his ashes were interred at Breslau Cemetery in Lindenhurst, Long Island, New York. The other half of his ashes were scattered into the North Atlantic Ocean from a U.S. Navy ship. Dad served 22 years in the Navy and retired at the rank of Commander. He was a few months short of Captain. He served on a ship in the late 1950s, transporting World War II DPs (displaced persons or, as he called them, delayed pilgrims) from Bremerhaven, Germany, to New York City.
For decades, my dad owned and operated three agencies in Lindenhurst, the town where he grew up: insurance, real estate, and travel. The latter was run by my mother; we now live less than a mile from each other in southeastern Florida. My dad retired to Maryland in the early 1990s, but he soon became a car salesman.
My father had a twin brother named Wilbur who died in 1935 at the age of 9 months due to spinal meningitis.
Note: My dear friend's departed father from childhood in the 1960s shares the same birthday as my dad, so I wish him a Happy Birthday.

My favorite beach is Robert Moses State Park, Fields 4 and 5, on the south-central coast of Long Island, New York. I grew up several miles from this beach.
When I lived there, I loved it during the summertime, but I preferred walking on its shoreline, embracing the coldness of wintertime.
I live in southeastern Florida, and no beach can even compare to the greatness of Fields 4 and 5.
(great memories)

Grief fades over time, but never truly disappears, so we learn to live within it. Some people unfortunately never learn how. Remember the good times; forgive the bad times; no regrets; and continue on with your life. Remember them, but remember, life is for the living.

"Height Rewires Women's Brains"
Men's height short-circuits the female brain. I thought that this very short video was worth posting. It basically says that women actually are NOT able to establish (differentiate) between if a man is cute or if he is just tall. That means an ugly man who is six-feet-four will be successful. Interesting. I like this interpersonal stuff.
