Snarky Senior
Newsletter (Digital)
"Snarky Senior" is for those of us who qualify for a senior discount, but aren’t content with the crap we can buy with it. We crave edginess. We are sick of the bland, boring, predictable, corporate content targeted to us. And that there’s hardly anyone talking to us or selling us stuff even if we can afford it. Let’s face it—no one gives a shit about us old people and if the Covid statistics didn't prove that to you, nothing will. Subscribe for an irreverent take on life, culture, media, aging, health, politics and everything else that catches my twisted fancy at least once a week but probably more because I am very opinionated. Snarky Senior will send you short takes and deeper dives on the humiliations and ironies of aging in America. You’ll find out what to watch, read and listen to. If you ask, I’ll even give advice and answer questions. I may piss you off but I will never bore you. Source

Have I Got A Guy For You
Ha! This is a wonderful column! In my own relationship a vision of a silk purse dances in my head when the sow's ear goes down for a nap. Seriously why do this? Happiness alone is something many of us have earned the hard way. We've done our due whatever. (I know what a schmoo is, btw.) Sometimes it's good to let nature take its course.

Barbie is a Drag Queen
I have spent an inordinate amount of time this week thinking about the Barbie movie trying to figure out what was wrong with it since it was such a hit, and the only critiques I found said it was “muddled” which I agreed with, I needed to know what the hell was the problem. Why did the medium clash with the message? Don’t get me wrong—I enjoyed the hell out of it. I loved Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, the visuals, the clothes, the sets, the musical numbers.
Cell phone etiquette applies to you too
When I lived in New York City in the late Pleistocene era, I ate lunch regularly in Chinese restaurants because there were so many of them and the food was delicious and cheap. Remember those days? I digress. One day my friend Loni and I noticed six Asian college-age boys at the next table all riveted to their phones, totally ignoring each other. They didn’t speak or look up once during entire the meal.
Mango Mayhem
It happens every year during mango season in South Florida--sometime between June and July—mango lovers go to war. There’s a good reason. Florida mangoes are so delicious they’re addictive. My former father-in-law used to send me and my ex-husband a box from his tree every summer. Huge, green, hard-as-rock mangoes would arrive and turn into soft reddish- yellow fruits, dripping with sweetness. Friends would beg for those mangos. I had been yearning for them ever since my marriage died.
WHY YOUR SHRINK HATES YOU--A TRUE STORY
Admit it. Haven’t you been wondering after all these years in therapy why you’re not getting any better…why you still can’t get a decent job, apartment, mate, or sell your screenplay? Every once in a while doesn’t a little hint of doubt enter your mind that maybe your shrink, let’s call him Dr. Spielvogel, doesn’t really understand you, maybe even doesn’t like you very much? Do you also feel--but would hate to admit--that Dr. S. has every reason not to like you.
