And Sandra, I was kidding, too. Kind of. I know you were making a joke, which is why I posted my comment the way I did, so that you know I wasn't serious about YOU.

However, I know so many women, young women, even today, who comment 'Oh, I'm a girl, I can't do that!' I tend to look at them and ask to see the card that lists the 'restrictions' that are placed upon them due to their gender. When they look at me like I'm from another planet, I simply state that there is nothing they can't do, if they want to do it.

John, I know several men who have had to learn things the hard way, and then do a fabulous job with it, once they've learned. But, unlike a woman who you can more easily show that the stars are in their grasp, it's harder to get the men to do 'women's work.' That attitude still prevails today. They can do it, there is not limitation physically that prevents them from it (save child bearing and such), but the mental attitude of young men...emphasis on young...is that it's 'a women's job' and they aren't going to do it.

Sandra, I hope that you recognized that I was ribbing you. I think you did. However, I still believe, for many people that I know, of both genders, what I've said is still...sadly...true.

I'm blessed watching God do what He does best. I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!
