  Men are Adorable!

  this afternoon i had the pleasure of listening to my dad, husband and son discuss timing belts, the teeth they rest on, camshafts, and other car parts that i cant recall at such a late hour.

  they were totally engrossed in the conversation and it was fun listening to them talk.

  the air was thick with testosterone and they were so manly that i just had to smile about it.

  I'm glad you started this thread because I've been confused at times too.

  BTW, I'm female although many members have made the mistake of thinking I am male since my nom de plume is Robdar

  If Men Could Menstruate

  if men could menstruateby gloria steinem.

  a white minority of the world has spent centuries conning us into thinking that a white skin makes people superior - even though the only thing it really does is make the more subject to ultraviolet rays and to wrinkles.

  male human beings have built whole cultures around the idea that penis envy is "natural" to women - though having such an unprotected organ might be said to make men vulnerable, and the power to give birth makes womb envy at least as logical.in short, the characteristics of the powerful, whatever they may be, are thought to be better than the characteristics of the powerless - and logic has nothing to do with it.what would happen, for instance, if suddenly, magically, men could menstruate and women could not?the answer is clear - menstruation would become an enviable, boast-worthy, masculine event:men would brag about how long and how much.boys would mark the onset of menses, that longed-for proof of manhood, with religious ritual and stag parties.congress would fund a national institute of dysmenorrhea to help stamp out monthly discomforts.sanitary supplies would be federally funded and free.

  Joplin is devastated. All around my neighborhood there is nothing but destruction. We had 4 adults and 3 cats piled into the hallway closet when everything went black and we heard the tornado. We thought we had taken a hit but what we heard was the debris slamming down on us from the neighborhood a couple of blocks away. The tornado hit to the south, north and east of us. I dont know why our neighborhood was spared because we live less than half a mile from the Walmart and Home Depot that got blown away. We live a quarter of a mile from where many of the homes are gone.

  Most of Joplin is without power. We are the only ones on our block with a generator and we have opened our home to our neighbors.

  Thank you Purple Sofa for calling to check on us. Sorry it took me so long to be able to return your call but cell phone connectivity has been sporadic.

  I was not aware that Tweetiebird was from this area. Or is she from OK? I pray she is okay.

  Thank you Ohiocowboy for your concern.

  Much love to you,

  Robyn

  I didn't have a lot of time to look at this thread yesterday because I still have company visiting. Right now, everybody at my house except for me and da cats are still in bed and so I have been reviewing the responses while I sip my morning cuppa. I must say that the more I read, the more I fall in love with all of you. Thank you for sharing your stories of the special men and women you love and how your lives have been affected by knowing them.

  For those of you still hurting from the wounds afflicted upon you by members of the opposite gender, I hope you will meet someone worthy of the love you have to give and will return your love to you tenfold.

  Guess I better go start breakfast now. I think my guests will appreciate a little coffee and some tasty nosh.

  Syl:

  I haven't had positive experiences with men, Rob, but I appreciate your sentiments.

  I am sorry that men have hurt you so badly that you dont see how precious they can be.

  I, too, have been hurt by men but most of the crap and betrayal I've received in my life has been from women. Still, I can see how precious many women are. I hope one day you will find a man to nurture and love you. You, sweet lady, deserve it.

  The Palestinians lost that land fair and square. If you don't want a bloody nose, don't start a fight.
