And he wasn't joking, mate. Little did I know that the Three Basic Forms of Plot Twist were coming for me:

1. Real grownup sorrow

2. Amazing surprise recognition

3. Oh? Is there an election?

So please enjoy, as I act out an old REO Speedwagon song, and Roll with the Changes. And if you'd like to help me roll, your support is always welcome right here: https://buymeacoffee.com/grannyhasaa

Please and thank you and stay offa my lawn.

Absolutely, positively, not about household cleaning tips. That's some other podcast. I may be in the Metaphor business. Clean Out Your Mailbox! Clean out your Mind? Clean out your Closets...

I promised you last time that we’d talk about junk mail, and we do. And as this evening marks the end of National Mental Health Week in the U.S. (where we could use some), we talk about that too. Also, physical junk gets cleaned out too. Includes research, opinion, and as always, there’s Time Travel.

Today’s Soup contains: Heavy duty personal stuff sandwiched between slices of hot fresh snark and sarcasm. Tender moments of inner vulnerability mixed with humor and reflection. Consumer reports sprinkled with obscure 60s & 70s pop culture references.

I promise, this podcast doesn’t sound like the other Grannies’ podcasts, because I’m not like the other grannies. But I hang out with them.

Today's soup includes; the ballad of what happened with Lowe's; hot fresh steaming gendered ageism; burgeoning Springtime; and the Nanny Named Fran. Please remember to hang on tightly, and keep your arms and legs inside the car until the ride has come to a complete stop.
