Snarky in the Suburbs

You asked for it and I’m trying to bring it – two Snarky podcasts a week. I was calling this a "Snarky Mini” - a snack size Snarky, if you will. But I blabbed too much so consider this maybe a small meal.   We’ve got a Dear Snarky update so yay! I share my latest hypothesis that I’m calling the “Goldilocks Theory.” I’ve got more Alpine Divorce news and a wedding make-up artist has shared with...

We’ve got a Dear Snarky letter that’s a bridesmaid palooza chock-full of problems. My Peeve is major and it concerns the “Alpine Divorce. Y’all it’s scary and I can’t stop thinking about it. My Observation revolves around a study I’ve been conducting and it’s riveting – kind of. The Snarky Confession is a journey to the land of embarrassment. I share the time I got stuck inside a slide. For more S...

Welcome, Snarky Squad to a delicious podcast! The Dear Snarky letter is a tough one to answer. Is there ever a good time to tell your friend that her cosmetic surgery is atrocious? In the Peeve arena I go off on airports going off on their passengers. My Observations range from porta potties to portals and the confession from the Snarky Confessional will leave you hypnotized. For more Snarky goodn...

Brace yourself for a Dear Snarky letter from a grandmother who is hell bent on thinking she knows best. Next up, I’ve a got a question of the day for you and it’s (drum roll please) do grudges improve the quality of your life? I think you can guess my answer. My observations are vast and plentiful from empty strip malls to an ode to florist. In the Snarky Confessional I share some sweet, sweet vin...

A “sleep divorce” gets nasty in the latest Dear Snarky letter. How nasty you ask? A husband throws a tantrum and gets himself a “sleep buddy.”   My Peeve is very personal and once I share my issue I think you’ll understand. I have a handful of observations, and they all deal with red flags after only meeting someone for 30 seconds. Are they petty? Of course they are. In the Snarky Confession I&#39...

Oh my, we’ve got some Valentine’s Day aftermath drama. I’ve got two letters and the last one is a real WTH? In the Peeve Department I’m a little put out about recycled Valentine goodies - specifically candy. There’s a story attached so yay for all of us. My Observation is salespeople disguised as repair technicians. The Snarky Confession from the sacred Snarky Confessional is the controversy over...

Y’all this kind of Dear Snarky letter must stop! I’ve got another one from an older woman who I’m pretty sure is going to marry a grifter. In the Peeve department please be kind as I go off again about baking competitions. My Observation is goofy and it’s about psychics and the confession from the Snarky Confessional was a way to get me into going off, and I mean going off, on extended family vaca...

Happy Valentine’s Day! In this podcast I’m showing my love for you by sharing two Dear Snarky letters. There’s a Valentine diss and a mother-in-law who’s giving off some treacherous vibes. In my Peeve it’s how every generation thinks that they invented motherhood.    In the Observation department we take a trip to the comment section where it’s not pretty but exceedingly petty. Brace yourself for...

Y’all this is a wild rantastic episode. We start off with a Dear Snarky letter where a mom is actively trying to ruin her daughter’s wedding. WTH? The Peeve is a two-fer (you’re welcome) that goes deep on two things people say that make my blood boil.   The Observations are equally verbose. I go off on lipsticks, gifts with purchase, spring fashions and facetiming at restaurants. In the Snarky Con...

You need to sit down for this Dear Snarky letter. It gave me chills. Much less dramatic is my Peeve and I’ve got a question for you. Does anyone watch the Oscars or Oscar nominated movies anymore?   In the Observation arena it’s a triple rant from being called a savvy senior citizen, to being harassed over leaving business reviews, and oversharing your aches and pains. Pro tip a little goes a long...

Brace yourself for a letter that’s going to make you mad. Seriously, the unmitigated gall of some people! My Peeve is toxic mom groups but don’t worry I’m not going to rehash old news. I’m going biblical.    In the Observation department I take a detour to the new Netflix show "Members Only Palm Beach." This launches a discussion if it’s ever okay to criticize a woman’s appearance. Then...

There’s a lot going on in the Snarky Universe! We’re kicking off 2026 with a Dear Snarky letter from a sad sack mother-in-law. She’s upset over how her daughter-in-law treats her but seems totally oblivious that it might be her fault. In the Peeve department, Lord have mercy, I fear “being nice” is endangered.    If you haven’t heard about or seen the “divorce effect” videos on social media, get r...

First, I love y’all! Thank you so much for watching and listening to the pod this year. The biggest hugs and kisses to you. Now on to today’s episode. The Dear Snarky letter is something else.

My Peeve is about not raising our daughters to be prepared for th...

Get ready for a Dear Snarky letter where I’m afraid some of you are going to whole heartedly disagree with my advice. Yikes! My Peeve is about my daughter letting me down.

Finally in the Snarky Confession a tale of Christmas tree sho...

It’s a delish take down of a “Little Miss Protocol.” The juicy entrée is my “Ode to Thanksgiving” where I share an insult from 35 years ago that I will never get o...

The Dear Snarky letter is going to blow you away. A bride goes rogue and gives the world’s worst wedding toast that’s aimed to destroy a bridesmaid. Y’all I can’t stop thinking about it. In the Peeve it’s about people, cough, relatives that use the “no one knows how many holidays I have left” whine to get their own way or try to justify their less than delightful behavior. My Observation is fancy...

The Snarky Confessional is popping off with yet another story about my foray into cosplaying that I...

We’re starting off with a Dear Snarky that’s going to make you so mad and then sad and then mad all over again. In the Peeve department I know you’re probably sick of it but that’s notgoing to stop me because I’m going hard on weddings in 2025. My Observation is that I don’t understand hate watching TV shows. Someone please explain the charm. In the Snarky Confessional I try to time travel and dis...

Oops, I think I gave some bad or let’s call it “badish” advice in a Dear Snarky letter. I’m going to share it with you and let’s dissect. I’ve merged the Peeves and Observations into a grabbag of complaining so you know that’s going to be fun. In the Snarky Confessional we’re kicking it back to 1978 where I desperately wanted a perm, was rocking some nifty culottes and attempting to launch a prote...
