Hey everybody!
I forgot all the stuff I wanted to write yesterday! Good grief but I am old!! LOL!!
Anyhoo

- I checked around and it seems that my post on the men thing is gone. I am not sure what that's about but maybe somebody took offense. Eh. Sure didn't mean too offend but I guess that happens sometimes - especially in these politically correct auto-bot times. My general gist was just that if we're going to hold women accountable for procreation - we need to hold men accountable too. (And by "we" I mean us women).
(Evil grin attached here) Let the arrows fly!! LOL!!!

I cannot imagine how actually living in poverty would 'help' that situation. I mean, I felt helpless! Janey must have felt that a million times over!

Thank you, buddy for saying that.
You know I was talking to a wise soul in here and she pointed out that each of us can only see from our point of things. And for me when someone says "financial hardship" I immediately think of starvation; sleeping in alcoves in the onset of winter; that kind of stuff.
Sigh....maybe I need to think less that way. You know somehow never forget that life but try to make peace with it.
Something that I'm remembering. When I first started dating my husband, I went to his mom and dads. They're very wealthy and hubby grew up with every convenience - including maids. I freaked when I saw his parents home!! Freaked! And I told him I couldn't be with him anymore because his family was from money and there was no way I could relate to him.
He called me a snob. "You're really a snob, yew know that?" he said. "You think you're better than me 'cuz you're poor!"
LOL! I sort of blinked and thought, "Shouldn't that conversation go the other way?"

I have gotten lovely comments like 'oh I could NEVER let strangers raise my child'

When I hear this kind of thing it makes me wonder how our sad little species has lasted as long as it has on this planet.
