Leigh Anne Jasheway-Bryant - The Accidental Comic

In 2003, Leigh Anne won the Erma Bombeck Award for Humor Writing, which probably explains her lovely laugh lines on her face, and so she tells the world, on her stomach, and oddly, her pancreas. She has thirteen published books to her credit and writes regularly for The Comic News, Diet & Fitness, and Low Carb Energy. When not avoiding work and trying to find things she has misplaced, she runs a stand-up comedy troupe at a really slow pace. Click here to visit her website The Accidental Comic.

Raising the Roof

By Leigh Anne Jasheway

They say that with age comes wisdom, but perhaps what they really mean is that with age comes the ability to see so many sides of an issue that you end up indecisive and stymied. And let’s face it, that isn’t really all that wise. Take for example my roof situation.

Don’t Do the Math

By Leigh Anne Jasheway-Bryant

I remember when my medicine chest was full of fun stuff like perfume, eyeliner, and Rolling Stones concert tickets I was hiding from my parents. Today though, it’s mostly full of lotions and creams with the phrase “anti-aging” somewhere on the label (usually it’s the only thing in a type size I can read). There in the right hand corner next to my hair mousse (I use mousse instead of spray because saying “mousse” to my friends makes me feel hip) are two bottles of stuff, one that guarantees to “reduce the signs of aging by 61% in one week” and one that guarantees “84% more youthful skin in three days.” I wonder if I mix the two, can I actually turn back time and look like I did in a previous life? Maybe when I was Cleopatra.

The Theory of Aging Relativity

By Leigh Anne Jasheway-Bryant

Even if you weren’t good at physics in high school, chances are you understand the theory of aging relativity. This is the theory that states: “Relatively speaking, I won’t be middle-aged until I’m dead.” Which explains why at sixteen you thought thirty was ancient, but today thirty is too young to make important decisions like voting and choosing a wardrobe.
