Welcome to the home for wayward humor on the Internet! Go grab a cup of exotic French-pressed coffee and settle in for a visit. I hope you’ll enjoy my Off My Noodle columns here, after which you’ll no doubt jump immediately to my store page, where all my books are on sale in honor of National Humor Month. You’ll love my latest book, The Women’s Daily Irony Supplement, and the ever-fresh earlier books Carpool Tunnel Syndrome and Till We Eat Again. You won’t want to miss out on a single, stress-reducing, health-enhancing laugh! I also blog on a host of topics and welcome your comments on the blog page.

So remember, next time you need to find ways to avoid real work, park your rusty-dusty right here. Lord knows I fully understand the desire to avoid serious, income-producing work in favor of much-needed jollification. If you’re an editor and would like to reprint an Off My Noodle column, please contact me at .

While this site is mostly devoted to levity, I’m also concerned about keeping our language vital, alive and clean. That’s why, in addition to my columns and my humor books, I also offer two special reports on language, society and parenting. These reports, “13 Tips to Keep Young Kids From Swearing,” and “10 Ways to Help Teens Stop Swearing,” are downloadable from my “store” page. Each report is jam-packed with realistic, practical ideas to keep kids from copying the vulgar language that surrounds us in today’s culture. Parents and teachers have found these reports both practical and enlightening. If you are a parent, grandparent, or teacher, I hope you’ll buy them as an investment in our youth, and in our language. 

Thanks for visiting, have fun, and make sure to come back soon!

“Judy Gruen is a rarity in the publishing world—her writing is consistently as entertaining as it is informative. Her columns have connected with the wants of eDiets readers who appreciate a side of humor with their main course of Judy’s on-the-mark healthy living advice.” --John McGran,
Vice President of Content, Diet.com

“At the bottom of your e-mail it says, ‘To remove your email from this mailing list, click here’. NEVER! Why would I ever do such a thing??  I’d have to be crazier than I usually am to unsubscribe. I laugh and I cry and I sigh, smile and say: Aren’t we glad that there’s a Judy Gruen around to make us feel happy and sad! I thank you again and again and again for the articles!” —Geula in Israel

"Thanks for sending The Women’s Daily Irony Supplement. It’s just right. Easy to read in the bathtub and if it falls in, easy and cheap to replace.” A.L., major financier and all-around good guy

“In a world where so much is wrong, being able to sit and laugh till it hurts is great. Keep up the good work.”—Melissa Rocha, Davie, Florida

“Since global warming will end life as we know it in the next few years, you might as well read Judy’s columns and get a few last laughs in while you can. In fact, I’m going to order her diet book, Till We Eat Again, right away. Maybe it’ll help me lose a few pounds.”—Al Gore, Oscar winner (and former vice president)

"Judy’s a gifted spiritual memoirist, telling tales from ordinary life with a confident bite that sparks laughter with pure truth.”—David Crumm, editor, ReadTheSpirit.com
