Don’t put me in that ‘you’re a woman so I must mansplain everything to you’ box.

First of all, I probably know more about the subject than you do.

I’ve spent most of my life with my nose in a book.

I spent half of that time researching various subjects in every library I had access to from the time I was allowed to be in one.

After I discovered the internet, I began to research EVERYTHING! So much easier than dragging myself to the public library.

If I choose to post something that wasn’t Snope proofed it is probably because I thought the subject a. funny b. satirical or c. close to my opinion.

I am not someone to be pitied for my life with The Curmudgeon. Yes, it is rough, but I am strong and will survive it.

Yes, it can be depressing, maddening, and completely frustrating.

Again, I am a strong person. I will survive.

I have outlived all but one member of my family and who knows how that will turn out (she is older than me.)

I will likely outlive my husband.

I will kick ass and survive.
