lgbt: what can do im bored and im just day dreaming....?

A day in the life… sort of

A long, long time ago (last Tuesday) in a land far, far away (actually about a 10 minute walk) there was a knight who happened upon a huge castle. (Actually, our library is pretty small.) It seemed fateful that on this very day there was a maiden (rather plain looking older lady working at the library) trapped inside suffering great peril! Just than a handsome knight arrived (that part’s true) and inquired of the maiden what was troubling her. (I asked the old lady why she looked confused.) The maiden spoke of an evil force blocking her way to freedom (the computer was down) and asked the handsome noble knight for assistance. (She said, “what you think it is?”)

Filled with fury and a keen sense of adventure the knight charged through the huge labyrinth and came across the beast and did slay it with a mighty blow! (I turned the computer off than restarted it.) The maiden was overcome with joy! (She cursed under her breath.) The knight than turned and went about his heroic business. (I went to check my e-mail.) In the hamlet below that mighty castle there are stories of the brave knight and his heroism to this very day! (She left a note for the next shift.)

Trudging on for days through an immense forrest (I walked down the road for a minute or two) the knight came upon his greatest foe yet! (There was some ice on the road.) After a fierce battle he escaped the wrathful grip of his foe (I walked around it) just in time as the earth itself, protesting such evil swallowed up the foul beast forever! (A salt truck came by…)

Continuing on his heroic journey, after many more weeks of wandering the wilderness, our hero the great knight had finally arrived at his destination! (About a 5 or 10 minute walk to the post office) His package for the king was of paramount importance (I was sending off a resume) and haste in his travels quickened as he saw the citadel up ahead. (I sauntered towards the door) The king was thrilled to finally receive his important documents of crucial state matters (the postal worker looked annoyed when I handed him nickels) and declared the knight a national hero! With great pomp and celebration the knight left the dwelling of the king feeling a sense of great pride! (The door clipped my shin on the way out.)

After all his adventures the night finally decided to retire to his modest castle on the mountain top as there was no more peril distressing the nobles and maidens of this great land. (I started home as there is really nothing to do in this town.) Even in this last journey there was adventure as he yielded passage of a great heard of buffalo (stoplight) and crossed a mighty river (bridge over the stream). At last he climbed the mountain where his home stood and entered in triumph! (I walked up the hill and let the dog out.)

How would each zodiac sign act on their wedding day?

How would each zodiac sign act on their wedding day?

Hi.

Cancerian: would be incredibly emotional about their day, happy and overwhelmed they they had met their soul mate, they would enjoy most things about the day, apart from when they wanted quiet time away from others but had to remain sociable, even though they wanted to sneak away to be on their own.

Leo: would enjoy their day greatly, either male or female, they would have a strut to them that would be reminiscent of a proud peacock, a lot of colours everywhere, loud laughter, plentiful food.

Aries would feel quietly confident that the person before them was good enough for them, they would go through ceremony without too much drama, an almost classy vibe about them.

Pisces: Intensity of the reality of the day would hit the Pisces and they would at times find it difficult to remain composed, their tears would be off happiness, great happiness though, their hearts would feel like it was going to burst through the intensity of the day.

Capricorn: Would approach their day with a clear level head, a lot of emotion within them though it would not be overtly obvious, though looking into their Eyes, you would be able too see their love for the other, they would Enjoy the rituals throughout the day, related to a wedding, though would never falter with their calm/ cool manner towards it all.

Sagittarius, would be loving the party element to a wedding, almost forgetting while they sipped the champers beforehand that it was actually their day, looking into their partners eyes to say their vows, an anxiety would suddenly grip them, " Is this really what I want" they may worry, pushing this thought away they would conclude with "Of course it is, I have NEVER met another human who can keep up with me on all levels, our lovemaking is great, we get on, most of all though, intellectually we click, yes I love this person, and if it does all go wrong, well, hey, least we tried"

And with that they would utter their vows with renewed interest in the proceedings, kiss their new other half, then skip off to the reception and get stuck into the champers.

Aquarius: Standing before the partner they would sigh inwardly and muse "hmm, love this person...but...yeah", they would Enjoy aspects of the wedding, maybe not even linking it as happening to them, after saying their vows and being sociable they would excuse themselves before the "dreaded" first dance and go outside into the main garden, a grey cat would saunter up, kneeling down and stoking the cat, Aquarius would smile and mutter "we move alone through life, don't we, what have I done", the cat would purr contentedly and rub themselves against Aquarius leg,mind made up, Aquarius would stay with their new found friend for two more minutes, stand up, walk towards the exit, and never look back.

Gemini: Would be their usual charming and flirty self, enjoyment of their day would be full, an almost amused quality to their behaviour this day.

I am not too sure about the rest, I can give a guess of Scorpio, though think I have gone on far too long.

This is just my opinion based on experience and imagination.

Are women really that better off these days?

Are women really that better off these days?

Conditions are better in a few ways, but mostly not.

In our yesteryear, everyone had roles to play, and even though some people may have wanted out of those roles, the roles were MUCH fairer.

To explain:

Women's role in the past: Get married, have children (including pregnancy and birth of said children), take care of children, take care of home including cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc.

Men's role in the past: Get married, have children (no pregnancy and no birth to deal with - but must be able to pay for all prenatal care and hospital costs), go to work every day, support/provide for family, take care of lawn work and home repair/maintenance.

If a woman did not properly take care of her home and family, she was perceived as not a "good woman". If a man could not/did not properly provide for his family, he was perceived as not a "good man". Women were very harsh on other women who weren't good wives and mothers and likewise men were very harsh on other men who couldn't bring home a paycheck and didn't know how to put a hammer to a nail or fix the car.

A woman was to treat her husband with respect, as he was the provider. A man was to treat his wife with respect, as she was the bearer and mother of his children.

Women were indeed taught to treat men as if they were superior, or at least, authoritative beings - for example, a good wife wasn't supposed to "talk back" to her husband. On the flip side, men were taught to treat women as if they were more special beings - for example, always open doors for women, let them go first, stand up when a woman enters the room, take off your hat in the presence of a woman, etc.

Bottom line, everyone had their roles, but contrary to popular belief, neither gender really had it much worse than the other. Bear in mind that I am speaking of the era between when women got the right the vote and the women's lib movement.

Present times, I would say, are way worse for women than back in those days, and here's why:

Now, women are expected to still: Get married, have children (including pregnancy and birth of said children), take care of children, take care of home including cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc. and ON TOP OF THAT, work a full-time job. Somehow, we got double (if not triple) the workload and stress that we used to have. See, when both husband and wife work outside the home, it seems obvious that they would have to share the workload in the home. The problem is, a lot of husbands just aren't stepping up. They come home from work, grab a beer, and figure they're done for the day. Meanwhile, the woman, having already worked a full day herself, ends up cooking dinner, helping the kids with their homework, cleaning the house, doing the laundry, etc. All while their husbands sit in front on the tv and do nothing. Many wives go to bed long after their husbands and get out of bed long before - they get up, get themselves ready for work, get the kids up, get the kids ready for school, make a breakfast for everyone, and most likely, take the kids to school, and finally go to work themselves. Husband has snoozed most of this time, as it doesn't him very long to get ready, he doesn't deal with the kids, breakfast is already for him, and he saunters out the door to go straight to work.

Are all husbands like this? Of course not. Some really do step up to the plate and try to make sure that their wives are not having to work harder than they are. They share in all the housework, cooking, childcare, etc. and strive to make the workload equal. But this should be the norm, and it's not. The men who do step up are patted on the back, as if they're doing something special. And the men who don't are overlooked and left to get away with treating their wives like common slaves.

So do we have it better? We have it better if we can manage to remain single, free to pursue the career of our choice, have an always-clean home (no husband or kids messing it up), and no cooking for anyone but ourselves... ehhh, forget cooking... we're out to dinner with the girls. We have it better if we can manage to get married, but be able to live on one income. We have it better if we get married, have children, and work too, but only if the income allows for a maid/nanny. If we get married, have children and have to work, like the average American household today, we do not have it better.

Some women "want it all", as they say. They want a family and a career. Well, if you can manage to have both without working 24 hours a day and stressing yourself 'til your hair falls out, fine - go for it. This woman gets the housework done, the laundry done, and food cooked, and still has time to sit on the couch, eat BonBons and stare at the tube... or type really long answers at Yahoo, as it were.

Edit: I KNEW I would get thumbs down. That's okay. You can think of your thumbs down next time you're stuck in traffic and running late to work and I'll smile about it as I'm sitting down to my morning coffee.
