Episodes

Divorce 12.12.2023

Recent events prompted me to go into some detail about what divorce is like if you haven't lived it and what a really bad one (like the one I had) was like. I took this pic when I burned my insurance cards after no longer needing them (like many, I had coverage through my spouse). Also, I have a few pyro tendencies though I've known some who were next level with it.

What If You Don't Care About the People in a Room? 04.12.2023

I've been asking that question lately since I can't care about a group or source that's causing or not doing anything to change issues I'm dealing with or have in the past. This is a pic I took of a definition of lawyer that came up in this networking group I’m on the list for (I already used my initial pic before). The fact that I don’t fit it perfectly sums up my “wrong room” issues.

Finances are Relative & a TikTok Dating Poll 14.11.2023

Continuing life stuff and the confusing results of a TikTok dating poll I heard about This is one of the flyers I mentioned seeing in NYC. What a place, eh?

Going to a CLE at ComicCon 17.10.2023

Going to ComicCon 10 years later overcoming fear of seeing my ex or his ilk. I also note some lack of inclusion in the geek space that seems to be changing these days. This is Rocko and Spunky from "Rocko's Modern Life" & since Rocko works at a comic book store, he's kind of fitting for a pic here.

You Can't Break the Law Because You're "Offended" 03.10.2023

Remember the dancer/choreographer in Brooklyn who got stabbed for voguing? I do...let me refresh your memory. This image is from uberhumor.com & says it all

The Apt Timing of Anonymous Sexual Assault Allegations 24.09.2023

Noticing a trend in sexual assault allegations by anonymous people decades later the second someone goes against leftist narratives? Listen for the truth bombs. The pic is of a large pothole on my mom's road that seems a fitting analogy for this phenomena.

If You're First Generation, You're On Your Own 17.09.2023

The Financial Crisis, another way "Family Matters" jumped the shark and what they don't want you to know about the legal industry.

Healthy Food, Junk Food & Maintaining Some Sanity 22.06.2023

My take on the idea of doctors prescribing healthy food to people with some words on my stint working at Godiva, what no one should have to put up with at work and lovely kitty cats. This pic is some roasted cauliflower I made. It's pretty good and I really need to find some more so I can have this in my current home.

Ross Geller is a Tool 12.06.2023

On rewatching "Friends," some of the episodes for the first time since I saw them on NBC I came to that conclusion. I also get the criticisms and go into at least one I've not heard. Seeing this pic, you can also see why Rachel also wasn't as sympathetic since Ross was right about that.

Reflections and Observations 29.05.2023

Reflecting on my current life situation, my recent trip to a lawyers meditation retreat, my gratitude at no longer living with animal abusers & having to mourn a mistreated cat and more musings. This pic is from the movie "She-Devil" which I discuss along with "Troop Beverly Hills" with Shelley Long. Both are deeper than they appear at first glance and the pic is a good ill...

Video Podcast Interview with Author Vic Ferrari 14.05.2023

My first stint at a video podcast featuring Vic Ferrari, the author of various humorous books based on his life (including 20 years with the NYPD). See this link for details: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=vic+ferrari&i=stripbooks&crid=3DNGEWBTJEN2N&sprefix=vic+ferrari%2Cstripbooks%2C156&ref=nb_sb_noss_1 If you want to be a guest, feel free to reach out at thegorgeousgingerlawyer@gmail...

Why Even I Think Getting Rid of All the People Won't Work 07.05.2023

Stay tuned next week for my first guest and video episode ever. Today, I discuss the Jordan Neely matter and why even I (a person who's had her share of problems with people) think getting rid of all the people isn't practical or something anyone in their right mind would want. This pic was taken at Coney Island when I went in September 2020 and almost no one was there. It was unseasonably...

Atlanta, 20 Years Later 26.04.2023

I went to Atlanta for the first time in 20 years this past weekend for my university's Alumni Weekend. Now I can say with pride that I went to Oglethorpe University and that quite a few people in my graduating class stepped up and made change happen from where things were when we graduated. Those changes for the better have actually happened and the good stuff I saw in those days (like teachin...

The Cooling Crisis and the Effects of Insincerity 16.04.2023

After some unseasonably hot days in NYC, the cooling crisis I knew was inevitable has now begun and it's time to resolve it. I'd also been meaning to note how insincerity affects human interaction. That's how you'll see me on those sweaty summer days in the subway, complete with "don't F with me" expression. People always compliment me for being super stylish when I d...

Commands Don't Work on Adults 02.04.2023

Decided to do this while transferring a large file to a new external hard drive. I touch on the Nashville trans shooter, parents trying to use money to control their kids and how you're not getting adults to do anything genuine by making commands, threats, pulling a gun on them or otherwise being a bully. Getting an adult to respond positively to commands works as well as trying to get a cat t...

The Hypocrisy of Anti-Discrimination Cheerleaders 20.03.2023

There are groups that nobody cares about calling out discrimination against & whose discrimination is still getting a pass in society. I specifically address discrimination against people who can't lift heavy objects and natural redheads since both are told to "suck it up" and that they have no right to call out harms and policies that screw them over. I'd like to know why in...

Life Updating and An Inventive (Though Likely Illegal) Way to Solve the NYC Housing Crisis 14.03.2023

I'm starting on some self-improvement but couldn't help but reflect on the housing situation I had to deal with before I got my very nice apartment.  One evening, at the peak of my frustration, I thought of a clever way to resolve this nonsense I'm sure anyone who's lived it + is law abiding would be on board with. This pic is a random comment I saw on a subway closure sign.  I like taki...

Going to a Gala and An Example of the Lack of Inclusivity in Professional Spaces 27.02.2023

Recently, I go to go to a charity gala for the first time in my life.  This reminded me of another way in which many professions (but I'm speaking of legal since that's my field) are not being inclusive: having annual formal parties for the organizations where ticket prices are obscene and unaffordable.  I first encountered this in law school and it definitely gave me a very negative imp...

There's a Limit to Roommates 13.02.2023

This is the combination of 2 different ideas I had on the topic (my experiences trying to find a roommate when looking for a new place a while back & explaining the difference between a good roommate vs. a bad roommate).  I also think one eventually ages out of being able to have roommates, say if you've been married or you're past a certain age since frankly nobody needs to be policing y...

The Greatness of Office Space 24.01.2023

Reflecting on what my life was like last year, my regret in not sending the link below to the boss of that firm and an endorsement for a little movie that's still relevant today, "Office Space."  This pic has some of the people from the movie in it and if you've seen it, you'll know which main characters are seen in it. Here's a link to the song I mention (if you hate rap music and you're my...

The Quest to Volunteer in NYC and a Fact About Boards 16.01.2023

They say volunteering is a good thing and something you should do in life.  I've been trying to find my project and jam since I've lived a lot and have tons of life to share with people but have only discovered that no one REALLY respects or values my personal skill set and that all the people who've asked me about joining a board over the years aren't aware of something I recently learned. &...

NSFW - Natural Redheads & the Hair "Down There" 09.01.2023

If you're a natural redhead sick of the 10 year old girl standards for "down there," you'll appreciate this one.  If you are just sick of those standards generally and have sensitive skin problems or a man who refuses to deal with his own "down there," then you'll probably also appreciate this.  It's not an episode for you Puritans or your little children but it is something that needs t...

Why Creative Jobs Aren't Taken Seriously 09.01.2023

Between Hulu documentaries and a creative contact posing the question, I've got the answer to this as well as what needs to happen if you ever hope to change it.  Why are we continuing this pretense of talent, training and affability if it all comes down to who will screw the CEO's/head producer's brains out in bed? This piece I saw at the Bowery Art Gallery kind of says it all, don't you thi...

Christmas When You're Older 12.12.2022

Discussion on Christmas coming up, how things are going and where I'm at vs. where I've been.  This pic is one I saw of Pop figurines of Cousin Eddie and Clark Griswold from National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.  I plan to watch that with the cats before I go out of town since it's a classic worth seeing & so the one kitten will see why you don't chew on electrical cords.  Hope...

Charging Adult Kids Rent 21.11.2022

I hadn't considered this topic in years and read about it more recently.  It seems more people are on board with it now but I say it depends on your family dynamics and situation.  I'm against it if your family refuses to see you as an adult, your family is dysfunctional (so not fiscally responsible or rich enough to save a dime for your future nest egg) or you could do better getting a...
