Actually, before I toodle off I will try to express my discouragement and disappointment. I was excited about the sight - told many people about it and posted a few times. When I saw a post by a man, I just skipped it, because I thought this sight was for women. Therefore, I’ve really never read any of Frank’s post - except I seem to remember early on I did read one, and he said he was posting because he hoped to meet women. I realize I could be wrong and that wasn’t Frank, so if not, I apologize. if I’m right, it seems to be working out pretty well for him. there have been many posts praising Frank’s insights, and all round wonderfulness. Ladies, I have had years and years of opponities to avail myself of male insight and wonderfulness. Of women’s? Not so much. so I have very much enjoyed reading the posts by numerous intelligent, kind, funny and all round wonderful women. But I find much of the sight causes more stress than it give enjoyment - so I’m done. I have seen many posts that praise Frank’s

Mugsy - thanks again. You really are wonderfully insightful and eloquent. I am so disappointed and discouraged with Wowowow that I was only checking the sight to see if you posted, then I plan to give up.

i was just imagining what would happen if there were a website designed for men of a certain age, and a woman posted several times - I think it would be brutal.

And then he gets all gushed over - thanks Mugsy, I knew you could say it better than I. I feel really sad, think I’m going to throw in the wowowow towel; am thinking the founders don’t get it either.

If you continue to respond to Markie’s blather, he will continue to blather. I automatically skip to the next comment when I see his pic. “Build it and they will come”; maybe “Ignore it and it will go away” would work.

Mugsy - where are you? come on - I know you are biting your tongue.

I’m late to this question, but what a fun trip down memory lane - reminded me of many shows that I miss: I don’t think anyone mentioned Sports Night - thought it was excellent Taxi - just thinking of Jim (not sure of the name) taking his driver’s license test makes me laugh out loud PBS - Upstairs downstairs, All creatures And many of the ones already mentioned - made me think of a question: Who was your favorite character on Northern Exposure - wow, so many to choose from. Remeber the gay marine saying to Maurice: “Sempre Fi”

Joan, I started hyperventilting just reading this - it was all I could do not to fast-forward to the end to make sure you got out! Are you taking the stairs now?

I’ve decided I’m not going to vote for anyone, because if you want to be the President of this mess, you have to be completely insane!

Just back from my first trip ever to DC, went w/my dtr (who was attending a conference) and 22 yr-old grandson, who had never been to DC either. Loved DC! Loved the metro (although the escalators are a challenge for someone with acriphobia AND claustriphobia). Grandson cracked the Metro code right away, we had a blast. We were those talkative tourists. Traveled at off-peak times, not very crowded. On one of the trips we were jointly working on a crossword puzzle, and a lovely young woman, clearly a native, joined in and solved one of the clues! I also had a fun conversation with a striking young DC police officer - very friendly. In fact, we didn’t have one negative experience the entire time we were there.

Thanks, Jane. This is excellent - printing a copy for my 88 yr-old mother.

I was incredulous, maybe horrified is the word, reading this - how out of touch can you (founding women) be? I have a person who cuts my hair on a regualr basis - sometimes I get a manicure, and, let’s see………….nope, that’s it. And I’ve never been to dinner with them, nor they me. Never even seen them in a restaurant, but then I eat out so rarely.

Bra off, sweats on

there is a glitch on the site - no message after I hit submit, usually there is an indication that the post is being sent. sorry about the repeat.

I need to add that I did see the Charlie Rose show, which was great - but was distressed to here that part of the reason for starting the sight was to “make money”. I am so not internet savvy that that had never occurred to me. DUH! I guess I assumed the “founding women” already had gobs of money. Duh again.
