Author: Karen DeBonis

Karen blogs about her wild adventures as a homebody, including writing (aka avoiding housework), meditating (aka napping), and serving a nightly smorgasbord to deer and other critters in her yard (aka gardening).  She lives in a wonderfully emptied nest in upstate New York with her husband of 34 years.

Really, really old Halloween humor.

October 31, 2017 Karen DeBonis

I love dressing up for Halloween. And I love that I’ve pulled my husband Michael into my web of enthusiasm. It never gets old. I usually go for a unique or unusual look, not the […]

Dear fellow HumorOutcasts writers : This apology is for you.

October 11, 2017 Karen DeBonis

With all due respects to other blondes who may not be as “blonde” as me, sometimes it’s hard to be a blonde. Actually, I’m not even really a blonde anymore. For many years, I was […]

October 5, 2017 Karen DeBonis

When we bought our second old house 11 years ago, it needed some serious TLC. The least of our problems was the broken window glass in the basement stairwell door, which I “temporarily” fixed with […]

Butt, it’s research!

September 25, 2017 Karen DeBonis

After close to a year of weekly blogging, I can say that I’ve learned some interesting things. Like when I researched different names for the gluteus maximus, sometimes called the gluteal muscles, or glutes, for short. According […]

My life-saving earthworm story.

September 19, 2017 Karen DeBonis

Last spring, as I was taking a walk on a drizzly morning, I was attacked by earthworms.  No, they didn’t mug me.  And it wasn’t like a swarm of bees – they didn’t actually touch […]

Stupid deer.

September 5, 2017 Karen DeBonis

The deer members of Club Critter in my back yard are stupid. There’s one doe in particular who’s not exactly the sharpest point on the antler rack. My husband named her Clarice, like Rudolph’s girlfriend. […]

Coming unzipped.

August 7, 2017 Karen DeBonis

Last week, my husband Michael and I were putting fresh sheets on the bed. He held up his pillowcase liner in one hand, a broken zipper head in the other hand, caught my eye, and […]

My inner youth has a thrill at the liquor store.

July 27, 2017 Karen DeBonis

When I look in the mirror lately, there’s a curious older woman looking back.  She has grey hair at the roots, some wrinkles, and two age spots on her cheek.  Oh yeah that’s me, I […]

Five word for listicles lovers. Or haters.

July 19, 2017 Karen DeBonis

What’s with all the listicles lately!?  You’ve seen them: “Ten things to look for in choosing a toilet brush.”    “Thirteen reasons to avoid walking under ladders.”    “Nine ways to help your cat overcome […]

When I get lost and technology fails me.

July 17, 2017 Karen DeBonis

You know those lab rats that run through mazes?  Well, if I ever got reincarnated as one of them, I’d be in deep rat doo-doo.  I couldn’t find my out of a paper bag if […]
