    Dyanne Deering|Updated Dec 15, 2019

    As I walked into the community center on Wednesday, December 4, you could feel the Christmas spirit at the door. The room was filled with vendors from near and far.

  • Mad, fat, bipolar woman is back

    Dyanne Deering|Updated Jul 4, 2019

    I’m back! I know, “What could she possibly have to tell us now?” I would like to talk to you all about the “shocking truth” of Fibromyalgia. This is a condition that I was diagnosed with several years ago and, as my life has changed, my body has changed and my emotional state has changed, so has my condition. A few years ago I was working at a popular retail store and I noticed that as things got worse and worse at work, so did my health. I would wake up in the morning feeling like I had the worst flu on the planet. Y...

  • Diary of a mad, fat, bipolar woman #7

    Dyanne Deering|Updated Feb 16, 2019

    All right, lets talk about “Baby Mama/Daddy Drama.” Can somebody please tell me why I am constantly hearing about the parent with custody of the child withholding visitation from the other parent for stupid reasons. This is not legal and it is morally WRONG. I get it, you have custody, you hold all of the cards, but seriously, who are you hurting, YOUR CHILDREN. I have been through it with people I love and let me tell you, I throw the law in the mom’s face whenever she tries to make up an excuse to not let the child see t... Full story

    By DYANNE DEERING Can we talk for a minute about all of the new and exciting things that are going on in my life? I know what you’re going to say, “Dyanne, your life is already sooooo exciting.” Well, recently it got even more exciting. In October, I was diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic.
