If you have to run a red light, make a face like you are terrified. That way, whatever crazy story you come up with to avoid the ticket, your face on the red-light cam will match.
Read MoreThe worst feeling in the world is when you just want to go home and you have to go to the super market because there is absolutely no food in the house, nothing, just some trident gum and half a bottle of juice, not even a feast for a cock roach. I try to…
Read MoreOur sense of smell is the one most strongly linked to our memories, so there is no wonder why we will sometimes find ourselves transported back in time by a certain aroma in the air. There is a certain moment when a very light rain over a field will transport me back to a trip…
Read MoreAfter fifteen years the New York Mets are in the World Series. I can’t believe it’s been fifteen years, Fifteen years of ups and downs, frustration, hope and then let downs. This year’s team is special because of the chemistry that is between them and once the pieces fell into place back in July…
Read MoreAfter running an errand this afternoon, I decided to drive home using a different route, one that I haven’t driven along for quite a while. Before Mr. Helix and I moved in together, I would drive along this route all the time, back and forth between his place and mine. I would often spend the…
Read MoreIt’s ridiculous to me the layers of drama that can build up between people in such a small office place. My “day program”, as we of Davin’s Den have come to refer to our day jobs, is constantly broiling with interoffice intrigue and drama. I think this should be the set of a reality show….
Read MoreThis past July I had a wakeup call. For years I was told by my Doctor that I was a borderline diabetic and I finally crossed the border. I was told by my Doctor for years that this could happen but I never felt the symptoms and what did he know, he had a Doctorate…
Read MoreIt seems to be that the world is suffering from a lot of black and white thinking lately. I am not talking about the racial divide in America and elsewhere, but in the figurative sense. Any topic you mention, people are ready to argue the polar opposite, without any sense of nuance or of all…
Read MoreLast week’s blog was by Davin saying why Trump was a feel good and not the right man for the job. I feel he is and I will make my points in a show favorite “Damn it all red” HE MAKES ME FEEL GOOD (THE RISE OF DONALD TRUMP) – by Davin Rosenblatt Thu, Aug…
Read MoreI have a slightly weird hobby. No, nothing like that. Sicko. I like to relax by looking through those real estate free magazines they give away in the supermarket. I’m not in the market to buy or sell a home, I just became addicted to looking through these magazines years ago when I was looking…
Read MoreI was not planning on writing the blog I am writing now. I was looking for something that was going to be the topic in the documents section of my computer when I found the blog I wrote last year on this very date titled “Should I kill myself? Or cut the lawn?” What…
Read MoreMid-way through my fiftieth year, I am finding that I am in that no-woman’s land between not being young anymore, and not quite being old, either. Of course, that all depends on the relative age of the person calling you one or the other, but for the sake of argument, let’s just say that this…
Read MoreWe will be speaking to Amanda the physic on our show in regards to if our dearly departed are trying to reach out to us after they are gone. I am fascinated by this as believe they do. My dad committed suicide when I was six and I was the last to see him alive….
Read MoreI think that by now, most of our listeners have realized that Pip Helix is not my given name, but a “stage name” that I use, mostly to keep my radio career separate from my day job. I like my “real name”, and used to use it back in the days when I first met…
Read MoreIn classic rock magazine this month they dedicated most of the magazine to the most amazing records that were ever released on vinyl. A lot of bands are releasing a lot of their music on vinyl. There has been sort of a comeback to vinyl records. I think a lot of these people were not…
Read MoreI smoke occasionally. Some days I don’t smoke at all, some days I have two cigarettes, or maybe three. You can start pelting me with molten hot charcoals at any time. Hell, everyone else is. When I was a child, both of my parents smoked. Really, in the ‘50’s through the ‘70’s, everyone smoked it…
Read MoreSeveral weeks ago I posted this meme on my Face Book page one morning and then went to the day program. I went on line at lunch and below I was treated to the following below from Sensitive Sam. One small mind, one tiny dick, one giant asshole…..oh, wait, maybe this kind of personal attack…
Read MoreI was standing on the New York subway platform, wearing my favorite outfit at the time: A dark blue skirt, black tights, high-top sky blue sneakers, red and white striped men’s shirt, and my big hoop earrings. It was the ‘80’s, but I hadn’t really succumbed to the wardrobe ravages more attached to that decade. …
Read MoreThis year will mark a very big event in my life, as of this year I have lived in the same place for fifty years, that’s right a half century in one place. As I write this blog I am sitting in my office which has been my office for Nineteen years, thirty one years…
Read MoreYou’re straight, single and looking for love. Well, I mean for longer than a couple of hours. I understand your plight, and I’m here to tell you that it would be a lot easier to accomplish, if only you weren’t doing it wrong. First, to you ladies: Stop saying you want to find a nice…
Read MoreI am so done with winter, I mean done I am sick and tired of getting up walking out into the second week of temperatures in the single digits. Cold is something you never get used to unless you’re a polar bear and if I think the bear could talk he would even say “Really”….
Read MoreEvery project I start in my house is like opening a can of worms. It’s not quite as bad as on the remodeling shows on tv, where every time they open up a wall they find weird and dangerous electrical work, or that everything was covered in asbestos or black mold. However, each time I…
Read MoreIn January I shared a picture on Face book that showed cartoon of a soldier in world war two under the caption of the greatest Generation. In the caption the soldier said I sacrificed for freedom. Opposite of that was a cartoon of a modern day occupy Wall Street looking type holding an Obama Forward…
Read MoreWhen the day-to-day stresses start to get to me, I find that I take comfort in taking little trips down memory lane, to times when I felt safe and loved. Most of those times revolve around my Dad and my Nana, or fun times with friends. Because I am a glass half-empty personality, I sometimes…
