I am glad you're out there finding this stuff and passing it on to keep me straight, ohcomeonnow! Thanks so much for sharing. And, it IS interesting, now that you mention it, that the women are usually portrayed as psychos/emotional/unstable but not the men. Except for Elvis's dad. They sort of tried to portray him as not a very good dog owner. And they try to portray JD as super intense, BUT...like you pointed out, they are tending to portray the women worse than the men.

Thanks again for your comments. And for sharing the link.

Oh, Andrea, I can't tell you how happy it makes my heart that you left this comment. Thank you so much for sharing. And what you said about society...Interesting. I'm addressing that in a follow-up article I'll publish next week. Nice to meet someone else who gets that pressure too!

New to Marriage Blog but Not to Marriage - Blog Entry

That's the truth, Ruth. You DON'T ever know what might happen. I sure never expected to live in FL, then TN, or be going on an Alaskan cruise, but...life can be funny that way. Full of surprises!

So you just keep my offer tucked away in your pocket in case you ever do find yourself in these parts. ;)

"No Pooing" Method - Blog Entry

This whole discussion reminds me of a fabulous book I read called Mutant Message Down Under. This Westernized lady (I forget if she was American or English) who was used to bathing regularly went on a walk about with Aborigines who have different ideas on hygiene. I've never forgotten how, because she was used to bathing her skin smelled even worse and attracted animals (ones who were curious about the odor she was emitting), than her Aborigine companions. I'm not saying it exactly right. You have to read the book to truly understand, but that part of the book was her epiphany about how maybe our society washes too much.

I've always hated washing my hair because I'm lazy. When I was little (like 7-9) I didn't even brush my hair much less wash it more than once a week. (I was somewhat of a wild nature child and looked the part!) Ah...how I miss those days.

Alas, these days I wash every other day. And, oddly, I still think about that book because it's why I don't wash more.

What a fun discussion! Great article, Mary Ann! (not to mention hysterical title)

She's my hero anyway, but then to hear she lost her ring during a match, yet still went on to win? WOW! And I thought I'd be the only one interested in this. I'm glad to know my musings actually proved useful to someone else. COOL! Thank YOU for letting me know that!!
