I was surprised that in the 21st Century, something as basic as Women's History Month could still elicit a negative response. http://www.tehachapinews.co... Although I believe in equality, I'm not what I think of as an "activist." I'm just interested in what the term feminist or feminism means to you, whether you're male, female, some variation of the theme, young or old. Why do you suppose some still find the concept of equality among the sexes threatening? What barriers, gaps, or double standards, if any, do you think still exist? I can't wait to hear your thoughts! YOU GO GIRLS - AND GUYS!
The human body is a machine that is full of wonder. This collection of human body facts will leave you wondering why in the heck we were designed the way we were. Scientists say the higher your I.Q., the more you dream. The largest cell in the human body is the female egg. The Smallest is the male sperm. You use 200 muscles to take one step. The average woman is 5 inches shorter than the average man. Your big toes have two bones each while the rest have three . A pair of human feet contains 250,000 sweat glands. A full bladder is roughly the size of a soft ball. The acid in your stomach is strong enough to dissolve razor blades. The human brain cell can hold 5 times as much information as the Encyclopedia Britannica. It takes the food seven seconds to get from your mouth to your stomach. The average human dream lasts 2-3 seconds. Men without hair on their chests are more likely to get cirrhosis of the liver than men with hair. At the moment of conception, you spent about half an hour as a single cell. There are about one trillion bacteria on each of your feet. Your body gives off enough heat in 30 minutes to bring half a gallon of water to a boil. The enamel in your teeth is the hardest substance in your body. Your teeth start growing 6 months before you are born. When you are looking at someone you love, your pupils dilate, and they do the same when you are looking at someone you hate. Your thumb is the same length as your nose. And now I bet that if you read this you put your thumb to you nose - just to check Mama said there'd be days like this!
Well before everyone leaves town or hunkers down for a long weekend I thought I'd say Happy New Year!
Thanks to everyone for the free entertainment, therapy and distraction. Is anybody doing anything fun? Who has to work on Monday? Tuesday? I hope you all have a safe an happy New Year! Goodbye 2007!
I've just been diagnosed with PDSHT!
I think it might be catchy! The entire office just can't seem to focus... And I can't stop thinking about all the things I need to do at home... Like cleaning out the fridge...  And making sure the kids new Christmas toys are safe  Of course, I don't want to be inflexible...  But I can't help but worry that the kids are running amok ...  Just Priceless... Then again...I'm sure my husband has everything under control...Why worry?  He always does an excellent job on the dishes!  Still...I keep getting this sinking feeling...  He's not always such a naughty little monkey...  But don't worry. It's not like I'm going to go "postal..."  I'm sure I'll be fine once the holidays are over...and I run out of chocolate...and "holiday cheer!" Hic!
Apparrently men really take it to heart when you say you aren't going to buy each other presents. Still, I wanted my kids to have something they could give to Daddy on Christmas morning, so we bought some $1 store and a few inexpensive presents. He beamed proudly as he opened a beautiful golden chicken (piggy) bank, some party music CD's and a nice warm pair of slippers.
My husband expressed only the briefest regret as he watched while I wrapped the one gift I bought for myself, so my kids could give me something other than their own preciously wrapped toys. Next year I'll be more specific. So what did you get?
As the year rapidly winds down, I thought if would be fun if we gave some credit where it's due - to our fellow bloggers - for keeping each other entertained this year. Even those who made us cringe and fume obviously had an impact on us. To those who made us laugh - and cry, Thanks!

I'm looking for something different to make for Christmas dinner. Something my family would never expect to eat. Any ideas? I've considered escargot or froglegs, if I can find some.
This one's for you, Bunee!
Twas the month before Christmas When all through our land, Not a Christian was praying Nor taking a stand. Why the Politically Correct Police had taken away, The reason for Christmas - no one could say. The children were told by their schools not to sing, About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things. It might hurt people's feelings, the teachers would say December 25th is just a " Holiday ". Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it! CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-pod Something was changing, something quite odd! Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda. As Targets were hanging their trees upside down At Lowe's the word Christmas - was no where to be found. At K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears You won't hear the word Christmas; it won't touch your ears. Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-si-ty Are words that were used to intimidate me. Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton ! At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter. And we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace. The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded The reason for the season, stopped before it started. So as you celebrate "Winter Break" Under your "Dream Tree" Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me. Choose your words carefully, choose what you say Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS, not Happy Holiday!
I just received this in an "anonymous" email so I thought I'd share it...
