Investigation into Allegations Against One of AC's Most Popular Writers
Nancy Canfield - Are Her Writings Based on Fact or Fiction?
I have become aware of allegations, brought to light by way of comments on some of her articles by her so-called friends (i.e. Pattie Byrd and Donald Pennington) who have been hinting that Nancy may not always stay with the facts. Unsure of whether these allegations are true or if they are simply statements made by those jealous of her ability to rake in the big bucks on AC, I decided to start an investigation.
Going off subject for a moment (I am over 50 and easily distracted...deal with it), Trojan Vibrating Mini Product Review?!? Jennifer, WHAT were you thinking?!? I can just hear Nancy now! She's turning beet red and her fingers are typing away about the X-rated AC again!
Back to the subject at hand - Nancy Canfield and her uncanny ability to mislead the public as they roll around on the floor laughing. I asked a few discreet questions in my search for the truth, leading a few writers to think I was off my rocker. (I am not, I assure you...I sit in it while I type.) I may not have been entirely truthful in my quest for the truth but I did give Nancy a chance to defend herself by asking about her need to write about peeing so often. She just mumbled something about not being a Viagra poster child and that at least her sister loves what she writes. Talk about being off your rocker! Pattie Byrd, who according to Nancy is a good friend of hers, said that while she enjoys reading Nancy's stuff, she does have a warped sense of humor. I am CERTAINLY not saying Pattie is wrong about that but I'm not sure I would call someone who could say that about me a good friend. Oh, um, well, I guess I could...my dear friend Pam and I say the same thing about each other.
I tried to contact Nancy's sister but could not determine if she even exists other than in the dark recesses of Nancy's mind. I put up a flyer in my local laundromat and even threw a bottle into the Gulf of Mexico but as of yet she has remained elusive. Naturally, I also stepped outside and tried to call her as loud as I could but there was no answer. In my search, I put out an all-points bulletin (whatever that is) to other AC writers but none would admit to knowing the sister or ever seeing such a person. In conclusion, I have to go with my gut instinct that Nancy is a good writer with a terrific sense of humor (boy, am I hoping so as I write this) whether based in fact or fiction! Happy New Year and Happy Writing, Nancy! Keep us laughing!

Post a CommentWhy this funny article about funny Nancy's funny writing is as funny as the fun it's writing about! Great one, Sharon.
I long for a bed at Shady Pines or some other nice little rest home. And those kids better not put me in the non-alcohalic section.
Nancy is indeed one of a kind -- and fun to follow on AC. Good job, Sharon!
I love Nancy's humor. Her politics, not so much, but she is a Mainer!
I think you may have nailed it, Bridget!
Fact or fiction, a good writer is a good writer. Thanks for sharing this spiffy piece of writing about a hilarious writer!
hmmm...maybe the wine has something to do with it. Funny, Frank and Angela. Stop threatening me with Shady Pines or I'll cut you out of my will! When I make one. When I have something to leave.
I think Nancy does seem to have a problem that peeing thing, but I think she throws it into her articles a lot because it gets her more page hits. I'm not too sure about the sister angle either. You know, she talks a lot about wine, too.
I hope they have a spot for the whole lot of you at Shady Pines. And good plumbing.
Ok ..........So her cheese has slipped of the cracker a little.. I hope they let her have visitors..:>))
