OK Liz, you had me at “nipple rings!” What was the point of removing them for flights? And why only women? Being a healthy hetero-gal I have only seen them on men! Do I have to go to Drudge to find out?

If we really want to stay on track here, the question is, “who is she?” She is distinctly the epitome of the anti-woman. The kind of woman who is so damaging to the world we dream of. She is the one who is willing to interfere. She lacks integrity by interjecting herself into someone else’s sincere commitment to another. This is the woman who believes she has the right to barge into a marriage. SHE’S the one who really needs counseling. Kudos to the woman who sued her husband’s mistress, and won.

I like the way you think Suzanne. The world is watching VERY closely the outcome of this election. They see that America has had either a Clinton or a Bush in the White House for some odd 28 years. And in the past few years, they see that Bill and George the first have been partnered together and seen traveling the world together. This worries us - even if it is apparently for charity. The undertone of these alliances is that it doesn’t matter who wins, or even what party wins, because there are higher echelons with unfathomable amounts of money and power beyond the government who control what goes on anyway. This is going to come down to, once again, the discretion of a FEW which leaves everything wide open to dissension. This decision will fall into the hands of a few Super-delegates, which in my mind, is not unlike a few judges in Florida who decided Gore was NOT going to be President, much to the world’s chagrin. The world smells a rat….I am not a conspiracy theorist, however, I am watching with interest the fact that the Democratic party in Florida and Minnesota, suddenly forgot the rules????? I suspect there are a couple extra aces in the deck that a few people will be able to pull out at the last minute to influence the outcome. If something doesn’t feel right you all need to start looking outside the box. I digress… is America ready to put a woman in the White House when they can’t even pass a bill to give women equal rights? I think it was swept under the rug in 1981-2? The other point I wanted your opinion on, and most importantly, Obama is an outstanding presidential candidate regardless of experience! There are so many experts guide him along, just like if Hillary or John get in. That shouldn’t be a worry. America could use an inspirational leader for awhile. Obama IS going to be great because he will actually SIT DOWN with countries like Iran, and bonus, I believe he can actually FIND Iran on a map too-Hallelujah. Most of all, the world needs hope. We need hope that whoever gets in will write out the damage that Wolfewitz(sp) did when he convinced Bush 1 (please confirm this) that it was OK for America to strike PRE-EMPTIVELY within the borders of countries to protect American “interests” abroad. This is what scares the world! The world waits and hopes that this ideology goes away….because without hope all there is is time….and other four years of world-wide worry. However, if racism is indeed alive and well in America is the fact that he is so hypnotic enough? I guess we can only hope and pray. We (outside America) are worried that the Democrats have set themselves up for disappointment by dividing the party in creating the race versus woman scenario. The party needs to get it together and fast or McCain can book the U-haul and start packing! The only way I see out of this is to walk, crawl, swim, hitchhike to the polls so that regardless of the outcome, the Super delegates can see who got the popular vote and MUST follow the popular will of all the citizens. As apparent leaders of the free world its time America started showing the world that its not OK to cheat in democratic elections. Sigh.

Why in the world does this guy deserve to SLEEP knowing full well that I would not lose consciousness for even a single second until I spoke about it? I would have gotten right into it. ” The combed hair and clean shirt I could have rationalized by thinking you changed at the office to take important new clients out to dinner. But do you think I am an idiot to not notice that your SHORTS are on backwards? Do you think I am stupid enough to think that you did that by mistake in the MORNING and then didn’t visit the urinal once all day to even notice? What are you trying to TELL me darling? That I should see a divorce lawyer in the morning or that you really don’t mind if I take a run at my new tennis coach!

Key word here is “ex’s.” We can all fill in the blanks of your past. The question is, were you joking just to rile women who are fearing that one day they may be traded in for a new model? We, too, can do that! I suspect that may have been your fate given the petulant nature of your reply! Poor sod. Women can be cunning darling. Never underestimate their wrath or capabilities! Keep reading. You might learn something.

Ah, but to decide to not take action is, in itself a strong decision too!

I agree. The oldest friendships are the most comfortable. Even with long spaces in between as life takes us all on separate journeys. The real test of a friendship is distance. When you haven’t seen someone for many years, and then you finally have an opportunity to sit down together and it feels like no time has past, you know you have a friend.
