Wow! Big Change!

Keep posting.
Take care

I'm getting used to the template change myself, Tim.
C-Dell, you raise a good issue here. Oftentimes, men cannot identify with women. Yet there are many historical examples where women have exhibited the kind of strength and purpose that most men wished they possessed.
cdell, I have four tickets to the opening of the Dragons season this Thursday night. Would yo u be interested in bringing a couple of youngsters to the game?
I've never had the pleasure of putting together a blog meeting yet and since you live so close...
Fireworks after the game...
Behind home plate...
Every kid should have the experience of a minor league game.
Interested?
email me and we'll set up the details.
Oops, Ruston...
I thought you lived in Cinn.
Damn...
I thought you were local.
this is a cool post. not just because i am a woman- but because i don't think we take the time to really think about our history in general. not the rose colored glasses history full of heroes and conquering the land- but of the everyday people who built this country by doing what they needed to do. thanks c-dell.
Reading on a red screen about fried my eyes. Now that I have nagged about something, thank you for posting this.
Oh, Dragons, Dirk Star. I was wondering, "When did the Reds get demoted to AAA?"

Peace & Love
JeeVY
The Reds announced today that they have a new non-smoking section.
we all know it as the spot Ken Griffey used to hold in the line up...
He-he...
I will do a list. I am still not all there, but I want to do this. And I like your choice of Queen Elizabeth I. I also respect Mother Teresa. I like female hard asses. More soon.
I'd add Ida B. Wells to the list!
How've you been lately??
Another great post. I'd love to see a Black Female President! Can you just IMAGINE?:)
Here is another woman Miss Mary Coley of Albany, GA. She was a midwife from the 30's to the 60's. She passed in 1966 at age 66. She delivered over 3,000 babies.
Her work, her life, her attitude is being used in film for those that aspire to be a midwife and to abolish the idea that "black midwives were stupid, uncaring, and ignorant". This film (All My Babies), was added to the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress in 2005
