Farmers, truck drivers, laborers, factory workers. I have a GREAT deal of love and respect for them. Growing up, I was no stranger to back-breaking manual labor on the farm and, for awhile, in a factory. It gave me a very strong work ethic. Then I learned TM. Then I became the first woman in my family (mother's and father's sides of the family included) to go to college. My parents (neither of whom graduated from high school) were against it. I persevered. So now I sit in an air conditioned office and work at a job I absolutely love. A few years ago I stripped, sanded and refinished my hardwood floors. By myself. I still think of myself as blue collar "salt of the earth".
Re: your comment about my giving birth: no children this lifetime. Too bad you have such a sorry opinion of women. We're really not such a bad lot. :-) ------------------------ Yahoo!
