    Right.

    There is no reason to think that women can't do both. Scarlett and I are both teachers.

    My hours were such that I could be with my children -- who were for the most part at the same school I was at even.

    In biblical times, women work much harder than modern women work. I cannot imagine what it took to keep the house going then, what keeping everyone fed and clothed entailed.

    No rolling pins here, but a frying pan is being sought!

    Roger, we are Dang Uppity-Women. We don't use rolling pins. We use cast iron skillets. :laugh:

    See, the Dang Uppity-Women (TM) have a manual, and they read it, and use it!

    Thank God for Dang-Uppity Women!!

    OK, so you can tell we are ALL from south of the Mason-Dixon line. Who's got the buttermilk and lima beans?

    My wife was a DUW (TM) when we were teaching Christian school, but I got her sorted out when we got to Ireland :) .






    (Wish you could see the look I just got when I told her what I posting. You know that look when what you say doesn't merit a response ;) ? )

    Brother, I won't disagree with you that there are problems in our society that both men and women are responsible for.

    And I took what you said very seriously.....because I can tell that men like you are very serious when you say it.

    Go back and mull over what you said. You proposed, by questioning, that...
    • Women shouldn't be elevated to the status or worth of a man.
    • That our national security was threatened because of women being seen as having the same status and worth as a man.
    • That our country is weak and has no resolve to defend itself because of women.
    • Women who work outside their homes are purposefully and self-centeredly abandoning their children.
    • That a woman cannot have a calling from God on her life and be a mother at the same time.
    • That working women are a menace to society.
    • That women in general and their being viewed as just worthy before God as a man is somehow a cancer on the church and that the influence of women is causing scripture to be changed.
    • You related the influence of women with homosexuality.
    You'd better believe that I took every single word, letter, and punctuation mark of your post very, very seriously.

    Tiny came close to actually responding to my questions. Thank you for that. Can anybody copy and paste each question and answer it from your heart with some consideration rather than being a comedian. Thanks ahead of time.

    You must have missed this post of mine earlier =

    Fair play - it is a serious question, but your confrontational wording fed the humour.

    If women are not doing their God ordained role of being "keepers at home"while they work in society God's plan is disrupted and and society will suffer.

    I am about to change my signature line to include "dang uppity woman".

    I am about 95% positive that I am going to have a tee-shirt made with great big letters that say "DANG UPPITY WOMAN!!" on it.

    When I get it made, I am going to take a picture of myself and use it as my new avatar.

    Now I just have to decide what color scheme to use.....fall is coming up and maybe I should use earthy tones.......:laugh:
