Sometimes it's nice to live overseas. :)<br /><br />By the way, Georgia O'Keeffe always resisted the "vaginal" interpretation of her flower paintings. She said such interpretations said more about the viewers than her or the paintings. I suspect she was in a bit of denial. :)Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-15233417873637875562012-04-16T19:24:10.122-07:002012-04-16T19:24:10.122-07:00You're the best.

From labeling us and ranking our worth and encouraging us to fight amongst ourselves. By doing so we surrender our true power. Not that all women should get along just because we're women, I don't believe that either. But I do believe that this ridiculous drama stunts our true potential.Vesuvius At Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02783271096885148080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-76244803639820829272012-04-16T10:02:02.533-07:002012-04-16T10:02:02.533-07:00I agree.

I never knew how to bring my own mother into those conversations - she who not only belonged to the sub-category you speak of, but had also lost a child to suicide, which put her in yet another sub-category and cordoned her off from most of the ordinary, daily talk among women about their ha'penny suffering as moms.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07247877396600721769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-85314342990266984092012-04-16T08:29:22.781-07:002012-04-16T08:29:22.781-07:00It makes the soles of my feet itch, my toenails tw...It makes the soles of my feet itch, my toenails twitch, and my eyes roll.
