Ok I have to admit when I saw the title of your post Notta my mind went in the gutter. I have been single too long I think, but I like it that way. As for meatballs. Well I have to admit I have never made them I like ground beef mixed in with my sauces. I did work at an Italian restaurant and the chef there made the most delicious meat balls I had ever tasted. Tender and seasoned just right. Now you got my mouth watering for Pepe's spaghetti and meatballs. Maybe I should find pepe and see if he will part with his recipe if he is still alive, its been 20 years. But I doubt I will get him to do give up his recipe.

I did want to add here that if I had stayed in my marriage and "obeyed" my husband I would be dead today. I chose not to allow this left him sought medical attention more aggressively and found I had a tumor the size of a hardboiled egg in the right ventrical of my heart. So no I wouldn't let a man make my health decisions for me either but had to leave the marriage to feel like I wasn't wasting "our" money. Now I was just wasting "my" money if I never found anything.

Oh Cowgirl read the nontheistic thread I have no belief that I should be under those types of restraints. I don't agree with the Way's take on the subject at all but there some areas that we must give in to and that is when a couple is at an impasse. Someone has to make that decision then. here are some of my posts Ok I usually stay away from these topics but was directed here by a friend. Greek2Me. You wouldn't vote for a woman? In the presidential office I have to agree I would not be comfortable with a woman as president and I am a woman! But there are many situations where a woman is in charge. such as mentioned - motherhood. I have held positions of authority over men in my field and it has worked nicely no problem. Now a woman being head over her husband definitely not!!! the scriptures are clear in the roles in the marital relationship. But look in the scriptures even Deborah was in charge of many men. I know VPW always said it was because there were no men available, but I don't see that written there. Maybe she was just the best man/woman for the job. I suppose you think women should all be at home barefoot and pregnant and making their men dinner. OOps I don't have a man, now what do I do? It's ludacris to think a woman can't hold a position of authority. As for the presidency maybe I just don't like Hilary, or maybe I still am stuck in some of the old thoughts and don't believe that a woman should run a country. OH geeze what about when she's PMSing. There goes china, she just nuked them because they ....ed her off the wrong time of the month. But the one thing I want to ask you is your statement about not electing someone because they are black. Did I read this right? Since when is the color of someone's skin the pre-requisite for doing a great job. If Colin Powell had run when he was considering the presidency I WOULD have absolutely voted for him. I am hoping I read your statement wrong. This was in response to Notta's comments Great points Notta. Marriage should be a partnership. But when you reach an impass someone has to break the tie, and that's usually the guy. But in our day and time unlike the 50's and the 60's women pursue careers and gain fulfillment in working outside of the home. Our mother's weren't encouraged to do that. I will admit being a single mom there are many times wish I could be home with my kids more, that I could keep up with the housework and always have a home cooked meal on the table each night, but the reality is that society doesn't allow that anymore. Even if I were married without 2 incomes it is hard to support a family. I command a pretty good wage and I still struggle keeping up with the expenses of myself and my 3 munchkins. Times have changed and the function of the woman has as well. Truth is even if I got my wish and could stay home and care for my kid and home, I would eventually feel unfulfilled, out of the loop and out of touch with reality, and society. I would have to find some way to make myself useful outside of the home at least on a part time level. Even the virtuous woman had authority. She considered a piece of land and bought it, she helped the needy, and all without asking permission of her husband. but this should probably be a topic for another thread, since it gets away from the election of a woman. And that is why I started this thread.

I thought I would move this topic over here. It was mentioned that a woman should not have authority over a man in another thread. Outside of the marriage relationship what are your thoughts on women in positions of authority. I will restate my case that women should be able to have authority over men in many situations. I feel a woman president is scary and that may just be my old way of thinking, or that I just don't like Hilary Clinton. I also feel in the marriage situation that the man is the head. Beyond those two beliefs I think it's ok for a woman to hold a position of authority even if a man is under that authority. Here is the link to the other thread if you want to read what was written there http://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/index.php?showtopic=13551&hl= So what are your thoughts.

Have a happy birthday.

GT where do you find these links you show us. I was sent a picture of a bathroom the otherday where the floor was painted to look like a sky, and there were as it appeared to be sky divers below your feet. I think I would get dizzy sitting on such a toilet.

I just had to get this thread going again didn't I. We should subtitle it MILF. My latest story. OMG. I am a student so 90% of the men I am in contact with are young enough to be my own kids. Well there is this community where you can share homework and ideas with others in your class called facebook. I joined because if I miss a class due to work or kids I have a way to contact someone to get notes and homework assignments. Well one of the boys in my class 21 year old boy has been corresponding with me. I figure he is a nice boy and maybe a bit lonely and needs a friend. Nope that wasn't it. he finally got up his nerve told me he thought I looked half my age (which I know is line because it is nowhere near the truth) that he thought I was hot and he wouldn't mind if I would be his girlfriend. OMG at 43 it's still happening. There are so many pretty and shapely girls his age and he wants to date me!!!! well I gave him the smiley, told hiim he was sweet, and told him he should find someone who would out live him. Now I know why it was so hard to find a date when I was in my 20's. They were hitting on my mom.

Actually although I spoke of my kids in that thread. i was also practically raised in the Word. I was 11 when I got in and 39 when I left. What kind of information are you looking for?

GSG, Considering all i knew most of my life was The Way, I would say that course of events in my life were truly life changing. Thanks!!

i was in Lincoln for about 6 months. Worked for Concorde Enterprises. Ultimately I wrote software for Applebees and Lincoln Poultry. My kids were miserable and missed Topeka so I quit and moved back here. Ahhhh, the life of a mom. Well they are happy again and we are doing well in the town whose zip is 666##

Well lets just say you are older than a 20 year old boy.
