Why subscribe?

Years ago while getting ready for a niece’s wedding and trying to figure out what to wear, my SIL related something her MIL had told her, that once you get to a certain age as a woman nobody cares what you look like. In other words, you are unseen.

So as a “woman of a certain age” I am writing to have my say and be seen. The title of my substack is a play on society’s dismissal of aging females.

A note about commenting policy:

I generally let people say what they want in my world. However, I do draw a line when people do use the “r” word (or any variation thereof) to demean others, or are bullies, or disparage people in order to win arguments. If you can’t win with facts, you have no business in the argument.

Also, antisemtism will not be tolerated on my substack. And yes that includes antizionism. Calling for the genocide, the denigration, the obliteration, the subservience of the Jewish People is not a topic for discussion. There are no 2 sides to this issue. If you have nothing but vile hate in your heart you are not welcome here.

So if you are reading this and can’t figure out why you can’t “like” or comment on something I wrote somewhere on substack, just know I caught you being a total arse, and I can control what I see and don’t see when I log into my own account. That’s not being a control freak. That’s having standards for what is and is not socially acceptable. Something we used to do wayback when.
