Maybe she was a family member they wouldn't claim to be family but couldn't do anything else with her.

I believe in women's rights to be equal or I wouldn't have been the ONLY woman computer design engineer in the company I worked at in tbe late 1970's- 1980's......but I don't belueve women need to dress immodestly because it i ly causes the kind of attreacton they then usually ***** about. My question is what PURPOSE does it serve? That is the question I attach to ALL my behaviors.

Am I chosing to be contradictory to be the devils advocate.....yes some times but they all know when I'm doing that too.

I have spent the last 11 years learning exactly what I believe & why.....NOT based on my living with anyone....just me & my own beliefs & thoughts not influenced by anyone else, not trying to be oppositional because I had the need to be heard. I spent the whole first years if my marriage feelung the need to be that way because I wanted everyone to KNOW that I was NOT the kibd on woman who would be forced into a barefoot & pregnant life & pribably took on the fighting stance to PROVE myself even when I didn't need to.

Love life now because most of my friends are in exactly the same situation as I am no matter how they ended up getting there.....older age tends to mellow one out.

If someone talks down to me, I just have a tendency to talk to them on a technical level & they get the point without my having to say anything more.

Oh, would have loved a free trip to Isreal. That is really the ONLY place I want to travel to.....but wirh my farm, that will never happen so I just keep it on my wish list.

I have been a rebel all my life but a quiet one for my first 21 years. Got more aggressive during my 33 years I was married & living with my H. Now that I know myself I don't feel the need any more...I jyst stand for what I believe only if confronted on the topics....but it took me years to get my thoyghts & understandings to know exactoy WHAT I believe & WHY which is the most important aspect IMO.
