Those breads look YUMMY!!

ok, my take on the womens lib or equality issues, what ever you choose to call them.


I believe that men and women are truly equal. Too many people mistake the fact that men and women have different roles to be a sign of inequality. Just because men and women are built differently, and excel at different things doesn't make one superior over the other. yes, yes, equal pay for equal jobs, and all that.

many years ago, I attended a team building seminar. I hated those things, still do. But one of the presenters left me with an impression, that I still carry with me today. No one can eat a whole elephant by themselves. It take a village. Meaning each person of the village (team) has a bite (responsibility) to take.

Marriage is a team effort, family is a team effort. Each person in the family has a responsibility, a role to play. Each of those roles are equally important.

last little tidbit from the top of my soapbox. I firmly believe a huge cause for the degradation of our society, has been the blurring of lines between gender. To say any of it is normal, is a huge fallacy, that only fools ourselves, and leads us down paths of degradation.

I'm so glad it isn't my place to judge, and I do not. But although I may not judge, I certainly do NOT have to accept it as normal.

I saw where sour said he holds the door for anyone, and I think that is correct. Public politeness, goes a long way in bettering our society.

I was raised to hold doors, my boys are raised to hold doors, my daughters are raised to expect those boys, and any future boys to hold doors. That is one small bite of the elephant I teach my boys. But what about the girls, what is their bite? They are raised to tell them boys thank you, sincerely. but I also teach my daughters, to open the door themselves, if someone isn't there to open for them. I think you can teach independence, without losing politeness.

anyway, that is my take, your's may differ, and that is fine. different opinions are needed, and discussion about them as well.

I agree!

Good morning!@BertS Yes I agree

Lol well yes that too, Santa is watching after all.
But no I meant your soap box. Except I would say the loss of family is the real source of our problem. Sexual confusion is maybe just the result

I think they are so intertwined, that telling one from the other is almost unimportant.

so yes, I agree with you.

Morning! Snowing again, not much though. We are baking today and now I have to look up that cute Santa Bread thing. Way too cute!
I think being respectful and polite and being able to pull yourself up by yer bootstraps applies to all. I totally agree.
Anywho, I am off to do chores and fun stuff like that.

The boy is home!

He is taller.
Really.
tall-
I need to put him against the door frame and stand on a chair and see what he goes.

Four months at an engineering college and he looks like a nerd. a bigger nerd. A nerdier nerd.

As soon as he wakes up he is getting put in the car and driven to the barber.
I might do the hair cut before the measuring though.
It should remove a few inches.

As soon as he got out of the airport doors and the Florida humidity hit him he went... "Oh my! The humidity, I have missed it.It feels so good."

OH! and while I was waiting at the gate exit... this guy who looked familiar walked by. He saw me see him and I nodded and thought, 'Dang, that's Edward James Olmos.with his grand kids.'
I googled him on my phone and it was him. Five feet away.
I did not run up and say ,"Hey! Battle Star Galactica guy! Hey! Hey!"
Because he deserves privacy and I am cool like that.
But still.

3GE, what a great day. I understand about the increased 'nerdiness'. One of my nephews accelerated his nerdiness once he went away to engineering school. In a good way of course. His hair was down to his shoulders until last year. He showed up at my sister's Christmas eve dinner with his new 'girlfriend'. You women always have to change 'us'.
