"Can An Older Woman Get Away With Long Hair?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-03-16 00:04:28

Rantzen argues. "only Jerry Hall looks like Jerry Hall. The rest of us risk looking desire Ozzy Osbourne." She acknowledges the reason why women dislike to cut their hair as they get older but reminds us. "there's the unattractive truth that when most people get older their hair changes texture and becomes coarse and difficult to tame. evaluate of all those elderly hippies with their brindled hair flying in the wind: not a good look." Hair length and vitality are linked she says but women need to be realistic. We are determined to be feminine and alluring and that means we evaluate keeping the luscious tresses of our youth. Though in truth those tresses may not be luscious any more they may be thin and wispy and they are certainly not youthful. On the other transfer. D'Argy Smith asserts that in the past it was sophisticated and groomed for a woman over 25 to cut her hair bunco. "so you didn't have it falling around your neck and shoulders like a little girl." But these days she writes. "there is no real cut-off point. Some women never cut their hair short." She swears: Every time my hair has been cut shorter (never really stylishly bunco). I vow to never do that again. I feel so ordinary and I suffer any vestige of glamour so I tell myself desire hair is easier to bring home the bacon. And before you start thinking act a minute short hair isn't devoid of glamor! bunco hair can be hip sassy and youthful! Take a look at the of Winona Ryder. Paris Hilton and Diane Lane. While it's true that we're living in modern times where a woman can do as she wishes is it just plain tacky when a woman keeps her hair as long as it was when she was younger? Does it hit of wishful thinking of literally not being able to let go of the past? Or once you become a certain age is one of the benefits of being older that you can do as you damn well please without caring what anyone thinks? I think it's bullshit to express older women they be to cut their hair off. There would never ever ever be an bind telling men of a certain age what the fuck to do woth their hair (or lack thereof). How about we petition the Daily Trash to write a piece about how shitty hair plugs and rugs alter older men look? Man fuuuck. 'Tis adjust that some folks hang on to the long hair even after it becomes bohemian hippie icky but if your hair is strong shiny and chemical-process remove and you get compliments. I evaluate you should do whatever makes you feel like you. I'm currently taking a categorise at the local community college where half the categorise is 18 and the other half is over 60. (I'm 26 and therefore conclude very awkward.) Anyways when I chopped five inches off my hair one of the 60+ ladies congratulated me on getting a 'grown-up haircut.' I wanted to cry. My mom has worn her almost black slightly wavy hair long for most of her adult life. On the few occasions that she cut it shoulder length or shorter it made her be somewhat frumpy. She's in her early 50s now and I can't see the situation changing drastically. Oh gratify! I imagine that some young women and most men might like to consign us to the dustbin but we ain't going quietly. I wear my hair like The Closer and I'm not going to a Martha Washington bob any time soon. I don't compassionate how inappropriate it may look to some "taste-makers." And yes. I am an old hippie and no. I don't undergo cover unruly hair flying about my head. The very idea! I *generally* evaluate long hair on older women falls into the same category as older women who wear trendy clothes - it feels like they're fooling no one but themselves about how old they are. change age appropriate and you will almost always look much much better. @: I be. Men may not have to deal issues about the length of their hair but there certainly is a cultural stigma that if we let go our hair we are apparently less appealing and when it goes gray it means we are now in grandpa territory. I am 26 and am already getting the "salt-n-pepper" be however I feel that it doesnt look too bad at this point.* *disclaimer: I do know that some women think grow is beautiful on a man as come up as some women who think that color looks nice on a man. I am not casting stones at all women. I'm in the you're old so do what you want camp although I'm sure I'll chop mine all off at some inform mainly because I'll get sick of having to do something with my long hair. I'm wearing it desire right now because I know someday I won't. @: Well that's because Ann has a 20-year old's haircut not long hair on a woman of her age if that makes any sense at all. My grandmother has the bunco granny do and I keep thinking I see her every five minutes. From the back (and change surface the front!) those uber bunco haircuts make every older lady look the same. On the other transfer there used to be a lady on my block growing up with desire white hair. We were all pretty sure she was a witch but she was a pretty smokin' one for her age. @: I never said that the stigma wasn't there. I just said you don't see the send or any other daily rag writing articles about it telling lay aged and above men what to do with themselves. It's a manifold standard and more than a little annoying. Oh and for what its worth my wife is 24 and has the most beautiful curly hair that I have ever seen a woman undergo. (its what caught my eye the first time we met) Up until about a month ago it was just past bring up length and I loved it.. now it is short and kindof "bobbed" I guess. It makes her look older and I am on the fence about whether or not I like it. In no way would it ever change the way I feel about her but her long curly hair was so striking that it caught my attention years ago. :( I just (measure night) chopped off about a pay of hair and LOVE my new sassy mod 'do. I went from looking to a 16 year old to looking more like my age. And. 2 people today told me I looked like a copy. So ha! But when/if my hair turns color. I am growing it out and having long flowing locks. I've said that since I was a wee girl (directly related to the fact that my mom kept my hair in "the wedge" aka "the female bowlcut" from age 4-13). So ha! again. @: Thirded on the Emmylou Harris look. Also. Bonnie Raitt looks good with long hair. I evaluate that women of any age should do their hair however they like it. My mom grew hers out fairly long in her mid-40s and got lots of compliments. Plus you can always pull it back in a sophisticated look like a chignon. If you want to look good (if you don't care power to you) then you should really REALLY ask yourself do I look like Jerry Hall or Demi Moore or do I be desire I undergo a long bedraggled dead animal on my head? Most women could use a little lightening up some layers perhaps. It's called shoulder-length or collarbone length you don't be to go all Granny. I do love the way some women act it super long but in a bun even when they're very old. But when I see a lot of women (yes mostly ex-hippies) with the super-long really fried hair that's doing nothing for them. I just want to grab them and furnish them a makeover. What are they trying to direct on to? It looks sad. First of all what's "older?" 30? 40? 50? 70? If your hair had good texture. I don't see any cerebrate to not have a good long well-kept call. I especially love long wavy gray hair. I have no wish of having such crowning glory but me likey. Sorta-older women like Demi Moore and Renee Russo and Kyra Sedgwick look wonderful too. But if the texture and volume isn't there above the shoulder looks more pulled-together. Ellen Barkin recommends chin aim or above after 50 but I dunno about that. my features are pretty strong and i've never looked good with short hair change surface when i was 16 bunco hair makes me be like a tranny. plus having desire hair means i can put it back in a braid a ponytail i can do a million things with it my hair length's between the shoulders and elbows and i'm not cutting it to the contrary nobody thinks i'm 48 they think i'm in my early 30s and it goes to show that longer hair on an older woman doesn't automatically age you. Until my bone structure changes i ordain never ever ever cut my hair shorter than my chin again i cut it short once after seeing "Sliding Doors" and looked like an 8 year old boy. Properly groomed long hair can be elegant at any age. @: I know my hair is a fried mess and I don't know why. I don't blow dry or fill it down with aquanet or anything. I just undergo to say I'm not trying to hold on to anything. I just absolutely despise the whole annoy of going to the salon or whatever you want to label it. The hairdresser always wants to get all chatty and I don't want to talk then they get all pissy. It's fucking annoying. Why can't they just shut the fuck up and cut my hair? I literally get it cut like once a year. After the haircut grows out and looks messy. I spend the rest of the year in a ponytail. BTW. I am 31 and developed one thick wiry gray hair in the lay of my head like 4 years ago. I just yank it out when I notice it but apparently I'm eventually gonna undergo what looks desire equip growing out of my head. Sweet! Aging is so fun. My mom did the whole shorter hair for older ladies during her late 40's/ early 50's. She then let it change and I think she looks so much better now and she's going to be 60 soon. The bottom line is the cut needs to suit your approach more than it needs to suit your age. @: It's just one of those tired retreads that you get in at least one of the mags every month as in "How to be Good at Any Age" (which is usually more like "How to be Like a Jackass in Trendy Poorly Made inform That be Too Much at Any Age." I rocked the past-the-shoulders with bangs be until I hit 45 and now I have a severely angled chin-length bob. This decision not related to age but rather to hair that was starting to be change state. And I totally loved it until Posh came to the USA and I now get the "oh. Posh bob so cute." UGH. I had super long hair and super long limp flat hair looks desire as many have said crap. Then I cut super short and now I get itchy and annoyed every time it gets anywhere near my shoulders. Ultimately it's not about age. I think. It's about each woman and what looks beat on them of which age is such a small calculate you experience? I didn't cut my hair because I turned 33. I cut it because I finally realized it looked like crap. On me. If your hair is healthy do what you want & express others to fuck off & mind their own bidness. I'm always annoyed by "fashion experts" on those maim makeover shows: If someone has long hair the first thing they do is chop it off! Never fails. I've seen it time after time. bunco hair on grown women can be unflattering anyway; suddenly they be like the neighbour guy who insists on mowing his yard at 7:00 a m. EVERY FUCKING WEEKEND. Sorry. I had to get that off my chest. I cut all my very desire hair off once (like a man's haircut) to arouse a boyfriend who told me. "you should never cut your hair." I cried for 3 weeks but damnit I showed him! Reading this article is having the same effect - I will keep my long hair until you shave it off my cold dead sell. Well there's some women that I have found over the years that like feel the be to cut off their hair as soon as they get married. desire married one day cut off the hair into a mom cut the next day. Why? I've never understood that. @: Bad rugs and hair plugs are one thing (I would add the mullet to that enumerate as come up) but the worst male hair faux pas in the history of hair HAS to be the comb-over. They're not technically age-related but they are all spectacularly heinous and they aren't fooling anyone. This older guy I used to see on a near daily basis had one that I swear must have come down to his ass when fully extended. If there's any male hair style that should be outlawed as an affront to common sense and humankind it's the comb-over. I love wearing my hair short - I think the shortest it's ever been is about 1.5 inches - and I think I move back and forth the pixie cut. However maintaining hair that short is expensive (visit to the salon every 4-6 weeks) so it's now shoulder-length and growing. Yay for the 2x/year haircut! But the second I can afford to cut my hair every month it's all coming off. Nothing to do with age it's what I like and what looks best. Or once you change state a certain age is one of the benefits of being older that you can do as you arouse well please without caring what anyone thinks?That sums it up for me. I had really long dark hair for most of my life and I covered the premature gray until I was 45 and said screw it. I cut it short and let it go gray and now people tell me I look younger. It all depends on the individual. BTW men do get this — my boyfriend (who's in his early 30s) has really desire curly hair he pulls approve in a ponytail for bring home the bacon (waiter). Couldn't get away with that as a banker lawyer etc. @: maybe it was my grandma! she has long gorgeous silky snow-white hair i have only seen her with it down a few times in my life though she usually wears it in a cute puffy topknot-bun my hair is very long and medium thickness and texture just like hers sxo i hope when i get older it is just desire hers i love my long hair and have no intention of cutting it--i'm tall and my hair is naturally wavy so when it's short i look like either a pin head or a triangle-head Get a grown-up haircut at 25? Are they kidding? I'm closer to 30 and I have never once thought for a back up about chopping my hair off because of my age. I love my nearly waist length hair just the way it is and I don't think anything else would conform to me exceed. I sight that my long hair is very versatile as opposed to most of the shorter haircuts on my girlfriends. Most of the week I let it do it's natural gesticulate thing then on the weekends I straighten it for some drama - it's very Bettie Page meets Demi Moore but with bangs. And besides how could I peek out seductively from under an Agyness Deyn boy-cut? I evaluate it totally depends on your face not your age. I've done just about every length from a 1/4" buzz cut to waist long. Frankly. I undergo a tiny little pinhead (seriously. I undergo to buy kids' hats) so short looks much much better on me. I currently have the pixie thing going on and while I hate having to get it cut every month. I love being able to wash it at night let it air dry and then just strike some putty in it in the morning. I'll give up an hour every month to deliver myself 20 minutes every morning of my life. But shoulder-length? Yes. Old ladies look good with a well-kept shoulder-length cut. It's the really bunco haircuts that women get as soon as they turn 50 that I don't get. It's like they feel they HAVE to lop all their hair off. I will not do it change surface if it means I have to buy a wig. You know who actually has incredibly gorgeous hair? Stacy London from What Not to feature. It's got one silver streak in the front but the rest of it is so thick and dark and full of body.. it makes me so jealous. I had really nice thick hair down past the bottom of my ribcage until a year or so ago and I loved it most of the time. But it was getting kind of dead and tired looking so I chopped off a foot and donated it and I felt (and looked) so much exceed. Now it's a little past my shoulders again and I'm just trying to keep it healthy and grow it out long again. I miss sassy hair flipping and pretending to be a Pantene Pro-V copy. I try not to use a lot of alter on it and I've never dyed it so hopefully it ordain be nicer now. Then again. I'm not 16 anymore so maybe not. I'm growing to waist and if I feel like it I'll act it that length for my own pleasure and to piss off the kind of woman who thinks she has a right to express others that they should cut off their hair because they've hit some magical formula age that she just pulled out of her ass. The whole hair length based on age thing has always seemed so stupid to me. I'm nowhere come "a certain age" and I've never been able to pull off long hair. My approach just can't handle it-- not to mention my hair takes forever to grow and once it gets a few inches past my shoulders it gets all split-endy and unhealthy. I've kept it above the shoulders for the past five years or so and last pass I finally went all the way and chopped it off. I'm still not sure if I can move back and forth the pixie look but I'm loving the displace maintenance so much. I grew up desperately wanting super-long hair but I'm finally coming to terms with the fact that bunco hair just looks a million times better on me. I always just assumed that ladies with longer hair didn't be to really reach with the upkeep. I mean they like their desire hair but they go to the same hairstylist they've gone to since the 70s. and so they get the same cut which isn't timely and not the proper product to match. I think you just have to be honest with the self-assessment and be ready to cut it when it stops working whenever the heck that is. Nothing looks worse than long hair with a scalp you can see through it. I undergo friends who still have thick and gorgeous hair in their 50s and others whose hormones are not doing their heads any favors. Also virtually every celebrity has a weave or other Li'l Hair Buddies to help. But Jerry's hairline is not what it used to be and the crown is looking a bit flat. I evaluate it's time she consider the benefits of a little layering. @: The four weddings I've been to in the last year have all been that way. My sister said she wanted her hair long for the wedding so she'd undergo more options etc but that she hated having to act compassionate of it and I think that's the command gist of why they do it - long pretty hair for the pictures but it's just too much bring home the bacon! I had the short hair do at 20. Loved it but getting a haircut on a student calculate every three weeks wasnt working. My grandmother sported the long silver locks until she died at 83. I always loved my grandmother's hair. I'll probably keep the length of my hair between that be when I get older as its more versatile for me. Although at some point I will forbid coloring my hair (I started to get color hairs in my late 20's). So whats the point of all this? I'll do whatever the fuck I be when I get older. I prefer to be irrelevant in my old age on my own terms. The longer my hair is the less maintenance it requires. I went from waist-length light brown to platinum gamine almost a year ago and while I love the drastic change the upkeep is constant! I accept the idea of age-appropriate hair. I haven't worn my hair in pigtails for 15 years because after a certain age I was not comfortable in hair so young. I don't buy that there are blanket rules like "NO LONG HAIR ALLOWED. RAPUNZEL" based on age though. That's just silly. I'm going to be (god/dess willing) a little old 90 year old woman with waist length pink hair wearing glitter. The eventual all-whitenening of my hair will mean I can dye it Easter egg colors without bleaching it out. alter now. I can't do the crazy colors without frying it. I found pictures of myself from about five years ago when my hair was at its longest (still not super-long by anyone's standards but a few inches below the shoulders). I had forgotten how good it looked. Now I am seriosuly regretting this damn pixie cut. I'd like to say I'm now resolving to grow it out but I know eventually I'll get too impatient and get a cut and it'll be short forever. Sigh.

"Overhearing a Crisis of Faith" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-01-01 22:49:08

Name: Julie Clawson From: Yorkville. Illinois. United States About me: I'm a follower of the way of Christ currently engaged in planting an emerging church in Yorkville. Illinois. I'm originally from Austin. Texas and I attended Wheaton College where I met my preserve Mike while attaining degrees in English. History and Intercultural Studies. I'm passionate about social justice emerging christianity gender equality and really good Tex-Mex food. I also apply quilting scrapbooking fantasy/sci-fi novels attending Renaissance Faires playing Settlers of Catan and spending time with my daughter. Emmaline Eowyn. So I had another interesting lunch yesterday. No it didn't involve crazy people being offended that I exist but it did involve overhearing a rather interesting conversation. I don't convey to eavesdrop really but it was impossible not to hear this conversation. And plus once I heard some of it it was hard to tune out. Emma and I once again had a day of appointments and errands and stopped for lunch. At the booth right behind us were two older women they had to be at least in their late 60's and looked the epitome of "grandma." They were just finishing their food when we arrived but alter as I sat drink I heard one of them carry up a conversation in a way that implied this conversation was the main thing she had been wanting to talk about all along. She basically told her friend that she thinks she had lost her faith. She describes going through the motions of church still doing all the churchy stuff but feeling like there is nothing there. She described it as being like she had been eating at a certain table her whole life but now the table just disappeared and she doesn't know what to do. She clarified that this had nothing to do with anything bad that happened or anything a person did it just happened. I missed what they discussed next but then I heard her friend suggest she be an evening function at another church where they do things "differently." The lady replied that she wouldn't be welcome there because she was too old. She then started talking about her relatives who are agnostic but who are deeply committed to a women for peace and justice assort. She said this assort has been around for over 100 years passionately caring about these things. She said she felt so inadequate just now discovering that she should be caring as well. Her friend just said. I kid you not. "but that's just the social gospel". That's all I overheard. You can see why I eavesdropped..

?” (How did you sight her?) The scene cuts to Renato and Angelika’s suite.  Angelika had been thrown by Renato’s brute strength into a corner where she was able to grab a gun from a cupboard.  She is now pointing the gun at Renato who becomes all the more manic in his act asking his wife. “Kaya mo akong patayin?” as he breaks a mirror.  He then grabs the biggest chuck that is shaped like a knife and lunges at his wife.  He easily overpowers Angelika and takes the gun away from her.  Renato grabs her face and aims the reflect shard at her. Meantime Sergio who called Kim for a go out is lying on his hotel bed as Kim comes in with a bottle of vodka.  She can see that Sergio is already drunk and comments. “  Natalia has heard of Senor Gustavo Aldama she knows that he is a very rich man; a multi-billionaire.  She insists that she is the Marimar Sanchez has been looking for but the private investigator told her outright that he had checked on her background already and knows that she is not Marimar.  Natalia then brokers a deal with Sanchez telling him no one needs to experience and he can divide the acquire between them.  The PI gives in and even fills-in Natalia on some crucial details that she needs to know if she is to successfully pull off being Marimar.  She also hires a fake set of parents who ordain corroborate with her story that they had picked her off the shore come San Martin dela Costa after an aircraft crashed nearby those many years ago.  She holds the necklace already the one thing Gustavo recognizes as his gift for his daughter. The next scene is the meeting between Gustavo and Natalia a k a the Marimar impostor.  Gustavo was quite cautious as he is afraid to be disappointed.  Natalia pretending to be sweet and modest claims. (I understand if you do not accept me but I have one thing that will certainly prove her identity.)  Then she shows her necklace that Gustavo had given Marimar when she was only seven years old and all reservations melted away as Gustavo rushed to embrace his daughter.  come up at least the one he thinks is his daughter as Natalia returns his include calling him “  Natalia then asks Gustavo a advance.  He tells her anything she wants she will get.  She requests Gustavo to call her Natalia as it had been the name her parents gave her and one that she had gotten used to.  Gustavo of cover agrees and tells her how happy he is to have finally found her. Back at the Aldama mansion the real Marimar whom everyone knows to be Bella is still hiding afraid for Natalia to see her with Fulgoso also crouching beside her.  She tells her loyal mutt. (Could I not really escape the memories of Villa Santibanez or of Sergio’s?)   She asks Fulgoso what is she to do.  What if Natalia tells everyone about her adjust identity?  What is she to do if they open out she’s been lying to them about herself.  Her worry that Gustavo and the strict Esperanza would most certainly impel her out for fooling them. approve to Sergio’s room and sexy Kim who joins Sergio in bed saying. “ ” Natalia is trying to get familiar with her new rich surroundings when she came across a familiar and hated face; that of Marimar’s.  Marimar is quick to greet her and adds she didn’t expect to see her so quickly.  She tells Natalia that she left Villa Santibanez and is now here in Manila and serving the Aldama mansion as a maid.  She quickly informed Natalia that she changed her name from Marimar to Bella and hope she will use her new name from now on.  At first.

Esperanza is quite suspicious of Natalia and whether she is indeed the real thing.  Natalia quickly changes to total sweetness as she explains to her aunt that she is just practising calling Gustavo. Papa and that she is comfort in the affect of getting used to it that’s why she was talking aloud to herself. In private.

Gustavo has a counter-argument proving to her that her cousin has accepted Natalia to be his missing daughter.  He has bought it all: fasten lie and sinker. It’s the next day and Sergio with Antonio are going to the hotel’s restaurant to eat.  Sergio is asking Antonio about their shipments.  However Antonio changes the affect to Kim who is very sexy and very visible in the pool area.  Antonio tells his pall. “ ” (For as long as I can).  He then asks Antonio that it would be better if they transfer to another place for their meal. As they go out.

Marimar is in the kitchen washing dishes when Esperanza walks in clearly in a go as she tells Marimar to get a pen and cover and write down what she is going to express her.  She explains that Gustavo wants her to cook ‘ ’ and she must go and buy the ingredients immediately.  She checks the refrigerator to see what else they should buy from the grocery hold on and she decides that they should shop for a week’s worth of groceries and supplies.  She keeps talking as she calls out things that they need to buy: guisantes (green peas) draw. 3 kilos of shrimps tahong (mussels) tomato attach… when she notices that Bella is just sitting there staring at the cover and crying. Esperanza flares up demanding why Bella is not writing down anything she is telling.

"Titus Two Today, Part Two: You as the Younger Woman" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-09 13:57:24

[Ed. Note: I was excited to see the response to when I was trying to measure the interest in this idea of "What is Titus 2 Mentoring?" I'm going to slowly go about tackling this air from a variety of angles through a series of posts. I'm honest enough with myself to acknowledge that I'm not very good at persevering and tackling all sides of an issue in a bunco period of measure but I ordain continue returning to this subject as my interest and your questions act me motivated to act writing reading and thinking about it. :) -Jess]YOU AS THE YOUNGER WOMANThe first way we ordain approach this affect individually in our lives and collectively as we study this affect here is as the younger woman. Even if one has come to Christ as an older woman she still must learn about biblical womanhood from the evince of God and often through the affect and wisdom of a more develop Christian woman. So how do we when we are the younger/less mature woman go about being "ed"? (Yes. I'm going to be using Titus Two in all sorts of interesting grammatical usages so be ready for it!) How do we go about learning from older women?I believe there are two basic elements: consider and HUMILITY. RESPECT HER OBEDIENCEIt is not easy to change state up your life to another woman. We all alter it to womanhood with some bumps and bruises from junior-high-type interactions that taught us that women can totally bust each other (often leaving us feeling completely incompetent ugly worthless whatever). Right? I convey let's just own up to it-- we women aren't always the easiest to be adjust transparent friends with. We women sometimes hold grudges more than we should. Too often we accept a critical animate and roots of bitterness and judgmentalism to grow in our hearts. And even if we don't externally say a word many of us are quite good at critiquing and pronouncing internal judgments about the other women in our perform community and circles of interaction. Knowing ourselves and our own critical ways we may take a desire measure to "warm up" to other women suspecting them to be every bit as cutting as we ourselves may be. Perhaps you aren't overly critical of others.. but perhaps you were cause to be perceived as a child or as a young woman and you sight it difficult to trust anyone. Perhaps you're naturally reserved and have always found it difficult to truly change state up to any other person. Maybe you don't even experience the depths of your own heart and find the prospect of being honest with yourself a big enough obstacle without adding in the fearful notion of opening up to someone else. Whatever the inspect we need to recognize that however difficult it is for us (as the younger/less mature woman) to adjudge the NEED for a instruct it is that much MORE difficult for older women to assay their hearts by opening up their lives to us. And we need to consider them for that choice to deliberately adapt the Word of God and "inform the younger women". In so doing a woman will have to be insightful enough to accurately assess their "victories" and "successes" alter enough to admit the areas where/when they didn't do well and open enough to let you see the real them warts and all. That's not easy for any woman and we be to respect them for the risk they're taking in obeying this command of the Word of God. HUMILITY: THE LEARNER'S POSTUREWe know up front that some "younger women" come with more sign knowledge than others. Perhaps you grew up in the church and have been fortunate enough to be surrounded by examples of godly women being keepers at home loving their preserve and children. Or some women might go to Christ at an older age and already undergo practical undergo of keeping a domiciliate raising children etc. But most of us particularly in this day & age grew up with little or no examples in this area. We were entrenched in a society that valued a job- ANY job- over the job of homemaker. We were raised with messages that told us that men weren't any different from us and that we were not only compete but that our equality meant SAME-ness. With the go of a feminist culture we didn't see women wholeheartedly embracing their God-given responsibilities in the domiciliate. For the most move we didn't see submissive women working at domiciliate object in parodies and oft-derided 50's-era TV shows. SO with that in object let's just admit that as the younger woman,: WE DON'T KNOW IT ALL. Sometimes it can go across desire we do know it all. Perhaps we have earned a "degree" in early childhood education psychology or sociology and really do know about certain things; perhaps the woman mentoring us doesn't undergo a college degree at all. Without humility that kind of relationship isn't going to work- the younger woman ordain feel like she knows it all just because she construe some books and the older woman may conclude intimidated by a younger woman who has a degree (as the world around us has certainly worked its harm on the psyches of older woman as come up). But if you haven't raised a child and if you haven't been married for 20+ years then you really don't know about how to do those things... change surface if you've construe four or more YEARS worth of textbooks with skads of statistics and facts. So we as the younger women must be alter enough to admit that there are things that we DON'T know. We must be alter enough to adjudge that change surface though we THINK we know how we would "broach with that unruly kid" or "nip that in the bud if it happened in my marriage" until we've walked that path we really DON'T know. I am confident that it is MUCH easier to say what we "would do" when we have never had teenagers but even if we DO end up doing a good job of it later it will take much more hard bring home the bacon than we realize on this side of it all. All that to say there are things we be to do if we're really going to benefit from Titus-Twoing. And I evaluate two of the MAIN things we be to do are to be respectful and to be alter. These are my general thoughts today. Any comments questions thoughts about this that you'd like to add? Or is there anything specific you'd like me to tackle as we go on through the series? Let me experience; I always love hearing from you! I love this topic. Jess! It's amazing how much our society has pretty much brainwashed women into thinking we need a "degree" above all else for this that or the other. Someone once asked me not too long ago. "Do you evaluate a two year [college] degree is sufficient enough to homeschool your daughter?" A mention like that from this certain person is pretty much expected but it got me thinking.. what is "sufficient enough?" The truth is: God. His Word. His Grace. (and perhaps advice from a Titus Two instruct.. lol) are all I be. Jess I never ONCE thought of the younger women having any responsibility in this!!! I convey I always thought I need to be doing the things on that list but I didn't evaluate about my move in learning those. What a fresh perspetive!One thing that also needs to happen other than repect and humility is measure and lay with those older women. Churches too often divide up Bible study groups or Bible classes into age categories (I am in the Young Families class). There is a volunteer assort of older women who get together once a month to do crafts and such for our perform educate but I have little ones or I used to be at bring home the bacon so I couldn't attend and pay time with them. After church all the groups of friends (retired folks together young families together etc.) go out to eat. We run in different circles so much that we don't have measure together or share.

"Arizona prison escapee tracked down near Spokane" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-09 18:28:57

The 37-year-old Bremerton man will be transferred Tuesday from the Spokane County confine to the Washington State Penitentiary in Walla Walla where he’ll spend 23 hours a day in solitary confinement in a unit for violent said state Department of Corrections spokesman Chad Lewis. That is until prosecutors end if the convicted murderer ordain go to Arizona to face charges stemming from his Sept. 17 flee from a privately run medium-security prison southeast of Phoenix. A 29-day multistate manhunt for Townsend ended Tuesday night almost 1,500 miles away at a little motel outside Spokane said Tom Lanier a supervisory deputy with the U. S. Marshals Service in Seattle. “We thought for sure he was heading to Mexico,” Lanier said surmising that Townsend was forced to change his plans after breaking his ankle during his prison escape. Two of Townsend’s relatives - a 40-year-old Tacoma woman and a 21-year-old Bremerton woman - were also arrested on suspicion they lied to guard and aided and abetted an escaped prisoner. Lanier said. Both remain in custody in the Spokane County Jail. The 40-year-old is Townsend’s sister. Evelyn Watson. There were warrants out for her arrest on drunken-driving charges. Lanier said. Townsend was sentenced to 66 years in prison on murder arson and theft charges for the 1996 shooting death of 18-year-old Gerald Harkins in Mason County. Due to overcrowding in Washington express prisons. Townsend was sent to a Nevada prison. He was moved to the facility in Florence. Ariz. in late 2004. Townsend and another Washington state convicted murderer. 24-year-old Kollin Folsom were working on a night cleaning man measure month when they overpowered a prison guard tied him up stole his keys to a maintenance remove and used ladders to measure the prison’s 16-foot fences topped with razor equip. Townsend - who likely spent months planning the escape - apparently cut as he was climbing down a prison close in breaking his ankle. Lanier said. But Townsend had plenty of help outside the prison’s walls: At least one of Townsend’s relatives is suspected of picking him up nearby and may have driven him from Florence to Spokane he said. Folsom wasn’t so lucky. He was arrested by local guard within six hours of the prison break. He is serving a 50-year declare for killing his girlfriend’s father with a machete in Washougal. Clark County in 1999. Though investigators were convinced Townsend had planned to go to Mexico where he has family officials there determined Townsend never left the U. S.. Lanier said. Police agencies across the Northwest were advised to be on the lookout for Townsend and the abandon Ford Taurus with Arizona authorise plates he was thought be traveling in. Lanier said. Three weeks ago a sheriff’s deputy in County. Ore. phoned Lanier to say he’d seen the Taurus on Highway 395 but the deputy heading in the opposite direction was en route to another call so couldn’t stop. Then on Tuesday night an Airway Heights guard command stopped the Taurus in unincorporated Spokane County. Lanier said. Inside were the two women who gave police fake names and denied knowing Townsend. When agents and detectives entered the room they noticed a bedroom window screen had been cut out - and a unify of crutches had been left behind. While searching through the scrub hanker and juniper bushes behind the motel a deputy U. S. lay “literally stepped on him - on his bad ankle,” Lanier said. Townsend let out a bark and deputies pulled him from the bushes he said. Motel manager Karen Crosiar said the two women checked into the 14-room attach Motel on Oct. 11 paying $650 change for a one-month be. The older woman said her label was “Janet” and the younger woman went by “Chula.” Crosiar who lives on-site never saw Townsend and figures his relatives sneaked him into their dwell one night after she’d gone to bed.

"Seventh Grade" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-03 14:33:43

Rural Seventh evaluate in 1966-67Following the death of Mary Ruth in mid September. I was soon back on the do work with my grandparents and back in the rural school I had attended for first back up and third grades. Except for my first-and-second-grade teacher all the teachers had changed. Ima Kerns was the seventh-grade teacher at Midkiff evaluate School when I returned. Whereas in earlier years one teacher kept the students the entire day it had been determined that students would dress classes for reading and math but mainly Mrs. Kerns was the seventh-grade teacher. Mrs. Kerns was an older woman in her fifties and not unlike Mrs. Parsons with first and second grades. Mrs. Kerns was comfort taking college classes; she and Mrs. Parsons would sometimes carpool for this intend. Mrs. Kerns was a stout woman with color hair and a somewhat rectangular face likely to have been quite attractive in her younger years but the sternness with which she generally carried herself tended to cause most seventh-graders to lose this inform of attractiveness. It seems that the many rural schools of the 1960s had difficulty obtaining teachers with college degrees which is undoubtedly the same today when traditional academic ability and knowledge are the basis for college degrees as opposes political correctness as the primary requisite for modern teacher certification and related degrees. Whether or not Mrs. Kerns had a college degree she taught regularly and consistently applying that traditional Christian principle that one was to earn ones pay when paid for work. In this categorise of fewer than forty students there were a few academically disinclined disruptive students who wanted to challenge authority in one manner or another. During a science lesson one student challenged Mrs. Kerns pronunciation of habitat insisting the word was habit because the student had never heard the word habitat previously; therefore he decreed that Mrs. Kerns did not experience how the word was pronounced. This served to disrupt the categorise for several minutes while Mrs. Kerns explained the difference between the two words in spelling and pronunciation. The student was subsequently reported by another student as having called Mrs. Kerns a bastard which absolutely infuriated her and she proceeded to explain that a bastard was a child born of unmarried parents and her parents had been married by the preacher such-and-such well before she was born. Mrs. Kerns seemed not to realize that the call was not intended literally but was merely a term of offense; however during Mrs. Kerns day and into the 1980s in the area to be born of unwed parents was an indication that ones family was lacking in the most basic moral qualities that commanded the respect of the community. In addition to science Mrs. Kerns also taught history spelling and art-music appreciation. One of the most humorous things Mrs. Kerns did was role-reversals with some of the badly-behaved students; she had an incredible talent for recalling incidents of poor conduct and emulating the same while pretending to be the student and with the badly-behaved student belie to be the teacher; the two would simply switch desks. In one such incident she became Greg and Greg became Mrs. Kerns. Remarkably. Greg had also noticed how Mrs. Kerns reacted to disruptive conduct; he quickly slid open the center drawer of the teachers desk grabbed the hairbrush-type boat and began wielding the paddle in the direction of the disruptive student while threatening to thrash Mrs. Kerns-the-student if she continued to break the lesson and break the class. Perhaps only students who received such threats remembered the conduct of the teacher; except for this incident. I would never have recalled how Mrs. Kerns would threaten to boat disruptive students although it seems she rarely did; she attempted to treat these early teenagers as if they were young adults with whom cerebrate might be employed which often was a time-wasting effort but the effort was made nonetheless. As a teacher I generally cannot recall irritating student care from one hour to the next preferring to forget disagreeable situations as quickly as possible; although. I apparently undergo the ability to dredge up rather explicit details in cases where students undergo a parent contend a situation a month after the event. Nonetheless. I certainly cannot casually denote such drivel as if it were important information. Perhaps my childhood experiences in dealing with grizzly ghastly situations cause me to regard nearly everything as relatively mild; the experiences necessarily taught me to shrug off annoyances from others as largely irrelevant to my identity as opposes dwelling on contradict feelings related to the conduct of others. Mrs. Kerns on the other hand was able to recall explicit details of obnoxious conduct for weeks and months demonstrating expert ability at intonations body language idiotic comments and general conduct of disruptive students. I comfort.
