Until I put up a post on Facebook, I never realized that toilet paper could cause such a heated debate! Who would think that people actually think about the way the roll should be placed. I never really thought about it. It never made much of a difference to me....
What Do You Do On The Weekend?
I don't know about you, but when the weekends come I just want to take a deep breath and let it out slow! After that, I want to reflect on the week that past, try to finish up any projects that I didn't get a chance to and I write...
Nordstrom and the Graduation Day Fiasco…
When Zoey, my daughter, and I were in Las Vegas for her 21st birthday bash, we went to Nordstrom to try to find a graduation dress. We found one that fit her perfectly and she loved it. I bought it, she took it back to Syracuse University (her college) and...

It’s My Son’s 16th Birthday…
A few weeks ago, I wrote and posted a post on why boys don't celebrate their Handsome 16. https://www.hilarytopper.com/2012/11/why-sweet-16-and-not-handsome-16/ Since then, I've been bugging my son what he wanted to do on his 16th birthday. Of course, he wanted to see a basketball game. What else? Sixteen is a big...
The Long Island Medium at Westbury
The Long Island Medium recently did a show at Westbury Music Fair (Whoops, I mean NYCB Theatre at Westbury). My sister and I attended. Lori, my sister, has been longing to talk or to get a sign from our mother who recently passed. So her boyfriend purchased two tickets for us...
A Funny Thing Happened On Almost The Last Night of Hanukkah…
My family and I were finishing dinner when suddenly the door bell rang. "Who could that be?" I asked my husband. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "probably another solicitor."
