"In Search of the Titus 2 Older Woman" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-03-16 00:04:25

As we moved from displace to displace. I heard this forgive and offered suggestions for Bible studies that would help the younger women. That way all women would be involved. The older though they may have been through women's studies many times would never tire of it as they saw their opportunity to be used and to teach the younger women. As they repeated the lessons year after year they would be able to do it without notes and add their personal experiences and observations as come up. They would change state better teachers over time. They would get great satisfaction from watching their young proteges succeed in making happy homes and contented husbands. It was the older women who continually rejected the subject of teaching the younger women. Some said they were "tired" of the Proverbs 31 woman or bored with studying the women of the Bible. "We've already studied all that," they would say. However subject be they chose and the study books they used usually didn't bear on to anyone 's personal life either! Sometimes it would bear on only to one person. Most of the material was about how to be nice and kind to everyone but never showed how to prevent your children from rebelling or your marriage from falling apart or wise use of time regarding accommodate work and home making. The studies were not about the things in which women were needing the most: training in marriage children and homemaking. In the book of Acts. Lydia was apparently hospitable but many working women today are not. When women went to work hospitality just about stopped leaving the burden to the younger women who didn't have the time or the money. I saw younger women in the perform trying to shop for church hospitality for a funeral or a wedding while handling small children and living on a very tight budget. The older women could have been doing this especially if their husbands were retired as they would not have been under the pressure of their husband's bring home the bacon schedules any more. Instead they were all at work in their later years and did not participate when there was a need in the church. I saw the Thanksgiving baskets delivered by the young women because the older women were too tired on weekends to do it. Women in their 60's. 70's and 80's surprised me. I expected that they would stand up for the old ways where the good walk is (Jeremiah 6:16) and back up the younger women to be guards of the domiciliate full time wives and mothers etc. Instead they did their beat to object or wet down the points in Titus two. They would say a certain part of it may have worked in the culture of the Bible times when it was written but it didn't apply today because of the economy or because women were now more educated and could get a career instead. They would say that a woman was contributing to the domiciliate as long as she was bringing in a paycheck. This came from women in their 80's. I wondered how they could feel this way when their own mothers and grandmothers were faithful keepers of the home. They themselves were keepers at domiciliate beat time. They had sent their own daughters to college and encouraged them to have careers which they entangle was a "step up" from being a manager and guide of their own corporation the home. Most of them were steeped in a type of Marxist Christianity. They change surface twisted the verse "if a man does not work neither should he eat," to mean that women should have paying jobs outside the home. Lady Lydia!I am just blown away! I could really feel your passion in this post and could tell how much you truly compassionate about younger women!Your comments on younger women carrying the load in churches really made me think about some of my own experiences. My husband is an Army officer and just finished two years as a affiliate commander. The wife traditionally assumes the role of looking out for the families of the soldiers which is now a formal role called "the family readiness assort leader." I spent two years hosting monthly dinners and meetings by myself and handling various other situations. I can remember particularly when my daughter was still a baby spending all day cooking and hauling in the food and supplies into a meeting hall all by myself. It takes a desire time to unload a car with a baby on your hip! After the soldiers left for Iraq. I was frequently called in the middle of the night with emergencies everything from wives receiving death threats to women going into a labor to house fires. Very few of the other wives were willing to help me. They would certainly call me for back up but never got the idea that I was the only taking people to the hospital cooking meals and even digging through the remains of a burned down accommodate! Along with that. I was dealing with nasty phone calls and emails from those who did not like how things were being handled. They were too busy with school and their own jobs. I was just a be at home mom with one child so I must undergo plenty of time. I must admit. I was nearly broken down by the evince of it all by the measure my preserve changed command! Remember. I am a former Army officer myself and the stress of being a commander’s wife and having a small child was crushing to me! I think about minister's wives quite a bit because what I did for two years and may have to do again if my preserve gets a higher aim dominate later in his go is a lifetime commitment. So thank you to all the attend's wives out there. I feel a bit selfish now but all I really want to do is take compassionate of my own home and child at least for a while. I experience I be to find a way to “answer,” but I feel desire I be a end!On another note how do conclude about formal classes? My preserve’s Army base offers fashion and sewing classes and our local community college change surface has a half day seminar on hosting a Victorian tea!Mrs. H Lady Lydia~What a wonderful post! I sat nodding my continue at every evince as I have found the same thing in ladies groups at church. It is so discouraging! I struggle with even being in perform because I can't relate to ANY of the ladies there. 95% of them have "careers" and then spend their evenings running from one "event" after the other. They know nothing of cooking sewing decorating or working a budget to do her shopping. And they are very quick to tell you they don't be to experience how either.. that is so "yesteryear". I am told. That is why they have gone to work.. so they can buy quick meals or eat out buy clothes already made pay someone to decorate for them,they say they go to work so they don't have to worry about a budget. They just go to the hold on and buy. pull out one of their credit cards and go home. It becomes very discouraging. I am so very fortunate that I do have a grandma who has really taught me what being a keeper at home is. I could sit and comprehend to her talk for hours about how she spruced up a tiny little dwell with dirt floors when her and my grandpa first married. How she raised 5 kids in a two bedroom accommodate with one bathroom (that you had to go through the parent's bedroom to get too.) How she cooked baked sewed on their very limited income. How she would stretch money. Going to work was never even a consideration. when money was tight you just "tightened your belt" a bit. She might take in some sewing or ironing. Sell baked goods,babysat or ameliorate clothes for the neighbors to acquire some extra money when needed. But most times they just did without things when there wasn't enough money. You say that to women today and they look at you like you have lost your mind! WHAT!!!! Do without our cable and movie channels? Our high priced cellphones? Name brand clothes? Dining out 4 nights a week? Why that is unexceptable!!! I ordain just put my kids in daycare and go to work!!! It gets downright lonely sometimes. I am in the transition period at home right now... I don't have babies anymore now we have "tweeners" and "teens" but we are a long way from an alter nest yet. I would be more then willing to "mentor" some younger mothers.. but most of them want mentoring about how to advance in their careers juggle a go and a family how to get their husbands to do more of the housework and care of the children. So I find myself feeling very much an outcast in most churches I go to. Having said all that... I be you to know how much of a blessing your site is to me! Reading your posts are so inspiring! Your stories about your growing up years in some ways are much desire the stories of my grandma. (I wish to have the money to buy your schedule very soon!!!) Maybe many women don't want to hear what you have to say.. but to those of us who do you are like a breath of fresh air!!! Many blessings to you!!!!Ms. Angie Since you started this the affect of Titus 2 {and before} I have given it much thought. I didn't cognise until I thought of it that I do do some things to help the younger women. I have not gone into their homes though as I am not able to get out much. I have instructed them on many subjects when asked or given the oportunity. I try to listen to their needs and interests and when I run across articles in magazines or on lie I furnish it to them also good sites such as yours. They do telecommunicate or ask me questions. I pass along good books on housekeeeping budgeting cooking and such change surface buying used ones of my favorites. I consider notes I write with each and recipes and such. Little things here and there. When I am clearing out the accommodate I bring anything useful and the women choose out anything they can use. I try to be a secret sister to some of them collecting little gifts and leaving it at church without telling them who gave it. Etc. Our church has a beautiful 3 year course they encourage all women to go to. Proverbs 31 is the basic compose and with in it they adjoin all the womanly subjects of home marriage and family etc. They also have courses just for the men. And many for the families and children. The families are very close and are in and out of each others houses and invite non menbers into their homes as come up. They are a homeschooling church too. They participate or instruct in many other classes there in homemaking. Also at perform and in the homeschooling programs the boys are taught home and motor repairs and change surface building as well as many other skills later needed in their future families. I have not been able to go to any of the classes but have seen the literature and been told much about it. I think you would sight it meets the needs you listed. They show the woman also how to be Titus 2 woman to the women who are just starting out. It is a church maninly filled with younger woman. Ninty nine percent of them stay domiciliate and homeschool. I sure do desire I had been part of this church all the years I was raising my children but I did not experience of it till recently. I ordain up my overlap of helping where I can be useful. This perform has been such a blessing to just be around. Seeing the families grow and grow. I will have to sight more ways to back up and ordain ask for God's guidance as well as from my fine pastor and his wife. Not ever having had this training myself this perform and its young women have taught this older woman many things. These young families living as the Bible instructs are such a blessing to be aroound. I cannot hardly believe the difference this pastor has done not skirting the truth and teaching what he knows to be truth. I did not mean to go on and on about this one church but it still amazes me that there are oasises of request out there. Your writings conclude like a breath of fresh air like that too. What a different world we would have if more of it was out there. Dearest Lady Lydia,Across 2 states two denominations and in numerous congregations I've witnessed everything you've mentioned here! In short the church has lost the plot (but for a tiny remnant of faithful women serious about the incredible role that we've had entrusted to us whether a teen with children without children or nearing ninety. What's so good about stuff? what's so good about buying that plasma TV when you could by a new reliable and far less power-hungry good ole cathode ray (with everything thrown in) for a quarter of the price? What's so shocking about waiting for something to break before replacing it? What's so good about a mc'mansion when there isn't a huge family to turn the halls of a accommodate into a domiciliate? I just don't get it. I never have. Thank God for being raised poor! (in money and material only. Rich in love acceptance and the presence of an extraordinary woman my mother who gave of her all that we may not go hungry). As I'm thoroughly egest and tired of the commercial merrygoround. I enquired just today about whether Vision Australia can teach me sewing and knitting (hopefully crochet also) over the summer so I can make the write of clothes I like ameliorate and modify what we buy and perhaps give to those who don't undergo as I do. There is a dirth of T2. Prov 31 women in my perform also. change surface those that have stayed home and managed the family have sent their daughters out to earn an education and get a career as if their own position was somehow lowly unfulfilling and a drudge). anticipate why we've got an obesity epidemic marriage breakdown ructions in the family even environmental strain? Because we've put the wisdom of man above the wisdom of God! The 'experts' are pussy footing around the truth for worry the feminists (Christian and otherwise) will devour them alive. I celebrate in doing my bit that my husband and I have a lovely little refuge from the madness a place of harmony and that I can make each day that little bit nicer. Being domiciliate working to my own plan thoroughly enjoying the ability to cook our meals (from scratch is comfort 'normal' in Aus) and engage in beautifying our humble home even with a camelia or two from the garden in a little vase is wonderful and soothing. I've experienced the worker rat-wheel and accept there are far more pressing needs in this life. As for formal training (mentioned by another reader) it was this that taught my late mother to make beautiful undergarments and many a woman to go around and distort. I'll also be seeking formal training (as mentioned above) as the folk at Vision Australia will have the measure patience and skill to inform me as a person without useable vision for said tasks to learn sewing knitting and other endeavours I decide to turn my hand to. Homemaking gives us time to offer our help and assistance to those around us (in due season) write paint hit the books an instrument a foreign language astronomy history entre into a home-based assay engage in gardening woodwork and change surface blacksmithing (google 'shepherd's hill' and see the magnificent testamony of that family in the way they be their lives) back up a neighbour and countless other opportunities. The domiciliate sphere is no place for a doormat someone without ambitionand drive it is not a drudge and it is real life with all its twists turns highs lows and everything in between. Blessings,Mrs. E.,Australia. Dear Lady Lydia,I have to say a 'thank you' for a comment made during this affix that I've never heard outside of my own opinion before. You stated that when many churches have Bible classes it is in the evenings when women are needed by their children and husbands. convey you for that statement. My own care has told me several times that I should undergo my whole family in church for Bible study on Wednesday nights change surface though my husband works late hours and my children are all young (10 and under). She has even offered to take my children to church for me on these nights but I ordain not allow it. They get very little measure with their create as it is and trying to get five small children ready for church plus get dinner ready then try to get everyone settled down and into bed after we return from Bible chew over which often runs until 9:00 or later would be immensely stressful on our whole family. Dh wouldn't be able to attend so I would be there all alone with the children while he came home to an empty house and ate alone. Then when we got home the children would be rushed through baths pajamas prayers and bedtimes having only enough time to kiss Daddy goodnight. We have chosen to opt out of this church function and instead spend measure building our bond as a family playing in the yard with Daddy being there to welcome him home and eating together. Dh and I accept that the most influental undergo in a child's life is the measure spent as a family and that all those Bible classes (and youth groups. I won't even go there) may not do our children any good but having spent lots of time with a loving care and father who accept in God will be a great influence in later years. We believe that the family and home is the bear on of Christianity and that it should be preserved at all costs. Mrs. H www theplacofh wordpress com I remember going to a Bible chew over where the women were studying the use of birth control (using the book Lies Women Believe). I was shocked to hear what the older woman were telling the younger woman it was so unBiblical! Things like "you should live your own life a little before getting married". "if you have too many children you won't be able to pay for their college". "you are putting your other children at a disadvantage by having many children". "sometimes God doesn't be you to have children because they ordain hinder with your ministry to Him" and many more feminist lies. And yet the older woman leading started the "Bible" study by putting her hand on the Bible and saying "We believe the Bible not what we read in books" then went on not to even change state it during the whole discussion! It truly is sad to see the older generation so consumed with these lies and teaching them to the younger woman and not the Titus 2. Thank you for your timely post! It touched me so much and was especially insightful. My own dear grandmother who turns 90 this year has always encouraged me to have a checking be displace from my husband and was most unhappy when we had our fifth child.. she isn't even speaking to me right now as we just had our sixth. I'm amazed by that and was interested to see that it's not just her as an older woman. I've been disappointed thinking that other older women would embrace our go to the 'old paths' of childrearing and homemaking. What happened a hundred years ago to prompt this dress? I just didn't realize it went so far back!convey you again for your article! It was a breath of fresh air! convey you so much for posting this and I'm reading with much interest the comments from readers. As I think about my desires over the years. I believe God has been working on me in this area for years. Technically. I'm lay aged but my husband and I didn't undergo our first child until I was 34. My needs are those of younger women. My oldest is 7 and youngest is 3 months. I have desired a mentor for years. I spent my 20's working and building a go. I undergo no more idea how to make a keep a home than to build an aircraft carrier. I can clean a toilet but I struggle with clutter meals and budgeting. I've been working part-time to help make ends cater for years but I know we spend far too much on convenience. My problem is that I barely experience how to answer without those conveniences. How sad is that?Now. I have the chance to be home full-time and begin homeschooling and I undergo no role models. All the older women in my church sent their children to public school and most bring home the bacon now. They are only superficially interested in home matters. I'm sure there's one person I could ask but I just don't know who she is. I query if older women have been brainwashed so much that they accept housekeeping is so easy it's not something that needs to be taught. That anyone can do it. After all they themselves undergo done it for years with no formal training and the media/feminists/popular culture say it's drudge work not worthy of respect. Rather than go on their knowledge they didn't take measure to inform their own daughters how to do it (my mom is a great homemaker and never taught me anything). I can't tell you how many friends I have whose houses are as messy as mine. We all go out to eat often just to get away and we never undergo people over because we are ashamed of our houses. Dearest Robyn,Here is a site that covers everything you'll need to know about cooking from scratch budgeting planning a pantry planning a menu and many other excellent topics www hillbillyhousewife com It's good realistic and the recipes work. Three books by Shannon Lush I can recommend are 'Spotless' (all about cleaning just about anything imaginable). 'go Cleaning' (though many people like 'fly lady' (Google her for her website as i don't have the communicate) and the final call is 'comfy' if you really don't know where to start in the kitchen when it comes to cooking. Delia Smith's 'How To Cook' series on DVD (a BBC production) is lovely easy sensible and has every recipe listed she also goes into detail about purchasing kitchenware ovens appliances and other kitchen and relevant subjects. The recipes are easy they actually work they're realistic and home-style and gently progress from the very very simple to more adventurous. Many ladies keep schedules homemaking folders and the like. I keep my plan in my head - you can try a general schedule (but many people fall into the trap of underestimating how long a task will take leaving themselves feeling defeated if they don't get through the myrriad checklists). Shannon Lush works on the formula it takes 15 minutes per day to alter for each person hence in a family of four it will act an hour a family of six an hour and a half etc. Lady Lydia has written many excellent articles dealing with scheduling order of tasks breakdown of tasks etc (I'm sure she'll be able to give some links to this beneficial material). I break my daily routine into several sections. Kitchen floors bathrooms other rooms such as bedrooms study etc. I also tend towards setting aside two days for washing and an afternoon for ironing. Once you create your cooking skills there will be a cluster of recipes you become familliar with and gravitate towards without the be for using the cookbook. They say the average create from raw material sticks to 7-10 recipes in any given season (though their repetoir may be much broader) The real trick is building up your confidence and skill level over time process you are no longer chained to the recipe book and develop an understanding of food preparation what works what doesn't the characteristcs of ingredients etc. Another DVD that I can heartily advise is Rick Stein's 'Food Heros'. Apart from also having excellent doable recipes that are (like Delia Smith's) richly narrated he highlights the individual family run farms and cottage industries that are fighting the big supermarkets and fighting successfully. Over our Australian Summer. I will be producing a series of articles for LAF taken directly from the 1947 transcribe Recipe Book. Printed for the Kentucky School for the alter by the American Printing House for the Blind it not only goes through recipes but gives maticulous instructions on how to plan a pantry keep a domiciliate clean entertain and much more. Though aimed towards blind homemakers its rich descriptions and attention to detail are invaluable for any reader. Another excellent cookery book is the Australian title 'The Common comprehend Cookery Book' with accurate recipes for every occasion along with herritage recipes and cookery traditions that cry out for preservation. I hope this rambling comment may be of at least some assistance. Blessings,Mrs. E.,Australia. Your comments have great meaning for me too. It's something I've thought long and hard about. When I became a housewife my mother who raised 7 children at domiciliate was very disparaging. She said there was nothing wrong with daycare and as possibly a form of silent protest never visited me in my domiciliate while I was alone with my children during the day through all those lonely years. When we were growing up she always told us that maintianing a marriage was a sacred duty of the wife. But when my sister left her husband after 28 years for another man my mother applauded her. What happened to my care's values? What changed them over the years? I evaluate it stems from a turning away from God. Those who were parents in the 50's and 60's were faced with a surge in materialism. Their faith was on shaky ground to begin with. Now as they register advanced old age many be more shallow than populate who are much younger. My parents have grown more superficial with age something in my wildest dreams I never expected. As I approach my older years. I want nothing more than to encourage younger housewives in any way I possibly can. Thank you for your wonderful writings on this important affect. this was and is the most excellant post I undergo read in a long time. IT is hard to teach when there is no one that wants to hear. I truly believe the Titus 2 mandate as I label it is as important as anything else that is spoken of in the Bible. ... yet it is brushed aside. When I was a young mother our church had a morning ladies study.. and we studied about women of the Bible. oh so much that was Godly was studied and taught... Now all the women are working at least in my church... it saddens me. and it saddens me also that preachers are not preaching the beat discuss of God on this be. I feel like I go upstream all the time. I often wonder is it about the $$$.. if families tithe and one would quit working... and stay domiciliate and increase their children. would church support go down? Could that be it? I know the enemy attacks through the family but I think this is a multi-faceted situation. I just love your blog.. convey you for making a difference. and please IF you acquire awards.. go to my blog(it has changed).. there is an allocate for you... Blessings and thanks to you and yours. Deby I really wish to help restore the culture of the home which is a never-changing precept of the Bible: marriage home and family. Young women especially need to know there is something else of greater importance than college and career and that they compete a vital role in making a stable family. In order to undergo strong marriages respectful children and good churches women need to return to the home. My communicate is based on the precept of First Timothy 5 verse 14:"I will therefore that the younger women marry bear children guide the house furnish none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully..."I cognise that not everyone ordain have the opportunity to marry and not everyone ordain be able to have children but all women will inevitably have to guide the home. These articles are designed to furnish the homemaker ideas for doing an excellent job in the home and for enjoying the role of homemaker and guide of the house. Marriage the family and home life is splintered. Women need to return to the home. Please construe the furnish articles listed on the align bar and acquaint yourself with the beliefs of this blog before you displace objections and criticisms. If you like the articles here you are accept to link to them and if you are friendly to homemakers you are welcome to quote me. The articles on this place are copyrighted so gratify communicate me before taking them for your blogs and sites. If you are a newcomer a student a young woman who has not married or had children or been a homemaker gratify be sure to read first.

"Battle of the Sexes: Are older significant others more desirable?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-01-01 22:49:06

: "Why do men date older women? The answer is simple but first we have to eliminate the one-night stands and weekend romps because that isn’t dating by anyone’s book. More often than not those get togethers are based on physical attraction or alcohol-addled judgment. Men who date older women are looking for something more and someone who makes them exceed; a constant challenge in the best way. Older women be to be more secure with themselves know what they be and are willing to wait for it. Mature guys are looking for these women. We want women who compel us to push ourselves who make us want to be more not by making us feel like less but by encouraging our strengths.

"The Tragedy that is CARP" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-15 15:28:00

Yes eat was one big guilt trip. I kept asking myself. How can I rest this? Here I am. 3G cellphone in hand and staying at a luxury hotel how can I live with myself with my 30 pounds of excess weight from well overeating… how can I face this other creature of God in lie of me and not conclude guilty? At sixteen she is barely four feet tall. No she is not a natural command and she doesn’t look desire those Ethiopian malnourished children from war-torn Africa that we used to see on the internet. But malnourished she is nonetheless hence the stunted growth. She stopped growing when at age 7 she started working in the sugarcane fields. She’s been out of educate since grade four and while she dreams of becoming a teacher someday she knows that every year that passes that dream becomes more and more unlikely to come about because she has been out of educate for six years now. Working under the hot sun from sun-up to sundown her climb is as dark as the purplish sugarcane in the fields that she tends. Because her body has been strained by hard fight she is not skin and bones. Instead she is muscular desire a farm-hand young boy. Indeed if not for the name she could be mistaken for a boy. She had a good meal today probably the only one desire it in weeks if not months. Yet she could not muster a grimace for my camera. The other people in her assort confirmed what I had seen on TV. That indeed there are people in their neighborhood who gather certain types of stones from a river and boil them to remove their “flavor” so that they could undergo some soup. They said it’s not always that bad. On good days they get to catch some frogs. So I noticed they purposely did not finish the two pieces of chicken in lie of them. They ate one and they had the other one wrapped to be brought domiciliate. God knows how many more mouths those will feed tonight. Edelyn hardly speaks. She will only act when asked directly and her answers are typically only a few words. And tears well in her eyes as she struggles to answer my questions. So the older women do the talking. And tell her story for her. I asked her if indeed she knew how to dress and broil a capture as claimed by one of the older women. She nods and for a fleeting moment I thought I sensed a faint grimace – borne maybe out of pride in her shall we say unusual culinary skills. In their village about five kilometers from the town of Murcia they undergo no electricity. Officially all the barangays in their town have electricity but their village is too far away from the nearest cables. And they undergo no water. They walk two kilometers to the nearest wet obtain a natural move for every drop of water that they use – for drinking for washing for cooking for bathing for everything. I also met Sison Ventoso a 14-year old boy named after Jose Maria Sison founder of the Communist celebrate of the Philippines. That label says a lot about who his parents be up to as a hero. He can easily get mistaken for an 8-year old. He is that small. In spite of his equally stunted growth he dreams loftier dreams – of becoming an engineer. Perhaps that’s because he got as far as evaluate 6 two grades higher than Edelyn. The typical ARB received anywhere from one-half to two hectares of land acquired by the government from the previous landowner. The government pays back the former landlords little by little over a ten-year period. The arrive is awarded to the tenants on the belief that as the new landowners the former landless farmers change state empowered and will no longer be to revolt against the government to remove the shackles of poverty from their heels. Land Reform was the perceived aid for poverty which was the grow of all insurgency in the past: the peasants felt they were not getting a fair share of the country’s wealth and natural resources. Poverty provided the fertile ground for the sowing of communist ideals. This is best exemplified by the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia and has been reprised many times in other parts of the world. Indeed land reform now known as the comprehensive agrarian reform program was seen as the cure for poverty the root of all economic evils in our country. The simple facts are: the vast majority of our country is rural and the livelihood of our people is mainly agriculture-based. So the thinking goes for as desire as most Filipinos remain poor peasants or dwell farmers we can never go from our third-world poverty-beset situation. That is the socio-eco-political basis for land reform. In the words of Mayor Sonny Coscolluela of Murcia it was a political solution to an economic problem. The object law expires next year after a back up ten-year extension. Before that land ameliorate was a landmark program of former president Diosdado Macapagal father of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. And after all those years of arrive ameliorate where are we now? Or more significantly where are the populate – by that I mean the Agrarian ameliorate Beneficiaries (ARB’s)? their needs. They undergo food on the table and in the ref (yes they undergo refs!) they undergo fairly nice clothes they have medical compassionate they have social security their children go to schools right inside the hacienda. The older kids even go to college. And I only today did I discover the big difference: do work workers in the haciendas were salaried employees. As such they had regular wages and all the benefits that employees normally get including SSS membership. Sugar plantations are actually agro-industrial complexes managed desire regular corporations with the farm workers providing the bulk of the labor force required for production. It’s a desire process that involves prepping the arrive prior to the planting season all through the growing stage drink to the harvest collecting the canes and transporting them to the dulcify move; from there it goes through a back up stage of production until the final product is produced; and from there it goes to the marketing sales and distribution affect before all the hard bring home the bacon pays off and the farm gets cash for its products. And sugar is a once-a-year crop. That means all throughout the year the landlord advances all the costs and expenses and only at the end of the long affect does he get his money approve. When the arrive gets covered by CARP the farm workers effectively lose their jobs. The government takes the land away from the landowner and gives it to the farmers. So the former landlords forbid paying any wages or any other benefits to them. They change state entrepreneurs even if they do not know the meaning of the call. Given this background it is no surprise that most of them disappoint at it. But there is more to this than meets the eye. In spite of their plight the ARB’s still believe in object (and surprisingly so do the landlords) if only because they like having land that they can pawn. The biggest identify we have made is believing that giving the land to the farmers solves all our problems. The Department of Agrarian ameliorate (DAR) in fact bases the success of its schedule on the quantity of land that it has redistributed. With 20-20 hindsight vision we now know that if that alone is what gets done then we are so very badly mistaken in our notion that arrive redistribution is all that needs to be done. The failure of CARP lies in the lack or even total absence of the support services to enable ARB’s to properly till their land and become economically progressive farmer families. What typically happens is that after ARB’s acquire their land (and nothing.

"Some thoughts on older women" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-09 13:57:21

I'm feeling indispose today so taking the easy way out. I'm passing on a piece that janeway emailed me earlier today. It was supposedly written by Andy Rooney but as janeway pointed out to me it is actually based on an by stamp Kaiser. As I grow in age. I value women over 40 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why:A woman over 40 will never wake you in the middle of the night and ask. "What are you thinking?" She doesn't care what you think. If a woman over 40 doesn't be to watch the game she doesn't sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do and it's usually more interesting. Women over 40 are dignified. They seldom undergo a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course if you deserve it they won't delay to shoot you if they evaluate they can get away with it. Older women are generous with praise often undeserved. They know what it's like to be unappreciated. Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 40. Once you get past a wrinkle or two a woman over 40 is far sexier than her younger counterpart. Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you alter off you are a draw if you are acting desire one. You don't ever have to wonder where you rest with her! Yes we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately it's not reciprocal. For every stunning smart,well-coiffed hot woman over 40 there is a bald paunchy relic in color pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year old work. Ladies. I defend. For all those men who say. "Why buy the cow when you can get the draw for free?" here's an modify for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage. Why? Because women cognise it's not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage! Although I can see why the original was "improved" in some ways I like stamp Kaiser's conjoin not least because it doesn't have the magic cutting off of youth at 40. From my perspective 40 is not old. Apparently it is doing the rounds in emails so please if you haven't seen it before don't send it to all your colleagues. Take it from me your IT manager wouldn't be happy. I travelled as a child when my create worked in Africa. I travelled (trailed?) as a spouse when my preserve worked in Europe. I've travelled as a tourist when all else fails. Nowadays we spend most of our time either in France or in England.

"Why Subprime Lending is a Race and Gender Issue" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-17 16:40:04

In general terms subprime loans are “non-conforming” loans made at higher-than-market-interest rates to borrowers with ascribe problems.  Predatory loans are loans that are inappropriate for the buyer either because the buyer is not qualified financially or the loan is at an unnecessarily high rate.  Predatory loans typically are subprime loans.  Subprime loans may or may not be predatory.  Subprime loans are not necessarily “bad” for consumers; they alter people with poor credit records to own homes when they otherwise would not be able to do so.  That sounds nice and neutral right?  Consider this.  African-Americans and Latinos are more likely than whites to receive subprime loans according to  by the National Community Reinvestment Coaltion and by the Association of Community Organizations for ameliorate Now.  Women borrowers are overrepresented in the subprime lending market according to studies done by both the Consumer Federation of America and the National Community Reinvestment Coalition. Across the economic spectrum women receive less favorable terms than similarly situated men on home acquire refinance and home improvement loans. The studies also show that the gap between women and men receiving subprime loans actually increases as women’s income increases. Elderly women are prime targets of refinance and home improvement subprime lenders. Women on add up live longer than men and have a greater come about of living alone. Rising property taxes and medical expenses make older women on fixed incomes particularly susceptible to lenders who promise money for necessary repairs but instead exact huge fees and rush inflated interest rates. African-American women who represent half of African-American home purchase borrowers are particularly vulnerable. In fact there is evidence that subprime lenders rush black women and Latinas higher rates and fees than same-race men and white men again regardless of income and across all give types. Because of subprime lending they are in danger of losing ground in their effort to reach economic self-sufficiency for themselves and in many cases for their children. Older women who undergo seen the equity in their homes depleted are in greater jeopardy of becoming dependent on family or social services. hit women who are likely to earn less have more dependents and to spend a higher percentage of their income on housing are thus less able to absorb the cost of an escalating inflated subprime give payment. Along with foreclosure loss of savings impaired credit and change surface bankruptcy are predictable consequences. Greater Boston function providers are already seeing an increase in family homelessness and it appears that a larger number of the newly homeless families are headed by women. * * * Blaming the victims is both unwarranted and unhelpful. It ordain not solve the economic or social problems caused by the course of foreclosures that officials are struggling to forestall. What’s not real clear from this study is whether there is a enjoin effect of race/gender or whether it is simply due to correlation with income. Obviously the policy implications would be quite different. Let’s say for the sake of argument that there is a enjoin effect of gender such that women receive more subprime loans. The real challenge is why. Is it because they should be receiving mainline loans but are rejected by sexist give officers? Is it because rather they are considered better credit risks than men with similar credit histories who are not change surface eligible for subprime loans? Or both men and women are equally offered these loans but men turn them down?

"Hormone Replacement Therapy can protect menopausal women from asthma" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-28 12:29:14

Sept 17 : A new study has revealed that hormone replacement therapy can provide relief to menopausal women who have nearly the double risk of developing respiratory diseases like asthma. A previous study has found that rates of asthma were found to be nearly twice in menopausal women compared with normally menstruating women resulting in falling oestrogen levels during and after the menopause. Although the claim protective role of oestrogen is not clear the findings reveal that women who take hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may avoid some of the problems. “Women who have not menstruated in more than six months have more respiratory symptoms and lower lung function,” Times Online quoted Francisco Gomez Real from the University of Bergen. Norway who led the research as saying. “What is important now is that menopausal women are told by their doctors that they are at assay of deteriorating lung health,” Dr Gomez Real said. The chew over involved more than 1,300 menopausal women aged between 45 and 55 from nine European countries and America. The women filled a questionnaire about their respiratory health and menstrual cycle and were given practical assessments of their lung functions including spirometric testing which measures lung capacity. A be of 21 per cent were taking HRT. Previous research involving a larger harmonise of older women nearly half of whom who were taking HRT has suggested that menopause actually reduced asthma. “The findings declare that the therapy could cancel out potential respiratory problems caused by less oestrogen,” Dr Gomez Real said. He said that the latest findings were “just the beginning of the investigate” and said that women should check their charge and fasten to “an optimum weight with a body mass list of 25.” The study will be published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.

"Unplanned Pregnancies Rise With Age" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-23 16:28:26

The good news is teen pregnancies are down. TheI-kind-of-dont-care news is unintended pregnancies for adult women are up. ButI might be a little defensive since my first pregnancy at 31 was a surprise. Its important though to particularly at a time whenreproductive rights seem up in the air and find to birth control is legallyat the whim of what could be a self-righteous pharmacist. First teen pregnancies are drink 36 percent the lowestin a long desire time maybe even since cars started featuring backseats. However the rate of unwanted pregnancies for women in their20s increased 54 percent and more than half of those unwanted pregnancies werefor women between 20 and 24. Unintended pregnancies a category that included unwantedpregnancies as come up as poorly planned or ill-timed ones also rose for womenin their mid- to late-twenties from 66 to 71 per 1,000 women. For women intheir early to mid-thirties unintended pregnancies rose from 38 to 44 per1,000. The question is why do teens be to be doing exceed atpreventing pregnancies than women in their twenties and thirties? Some expertsoffer that fewer pregnancies are the unintended consequence of teens notwanting STDs (thats a good thing). That mentality carries over into theirtwenties however and once in a committed partnership where STDs no desire feellike a possibility the condom gets thrown out with the babys bathwater so tospeak. Also the change magnitude of unintended pregnancies for olderwomen some experts argue is the consequence of the rising age of marriage theres simply more time to get accidentally pregnant. That andsocietal acceptance of pregnancy and motherhood outside of marriage may allplay a role in this increase. I bristle at studies that accumulate unintended pregnancieswith unwanted (which this inform does not). In any inspect.

"Get Older, Run Faster?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-17 15:31:40

Men as might be expected get slower as they age. At a recent five-kilometer go in Pine Beach. N. J. which drew nearly 1,000 runners the fastest man was 24 years old and the men’s times increased with each five-year age group. But the women were different — their times were all over the place with older women beating younger women in almost every age category. The fastest woman was 37 years old; the fastest woman in the 45 to 49 age group beat the fastest woman in the 20 to 24 and the 40 to 44 age groups. And it’s not just a New Jersey effect. Others undergo noticed it elsewhere and when I did a random check of race results in California. I saw it there too. On Aug. 8 in a 10-kilometer race in Alameda the 53-year-old woman who won in the 50 to 54 age group was faster than the woman who won in the 25 to 29 group. A 38-year-old woman beat every other woman in the go. Gina talked to several experts in an effort to answer the challenge ‘why would this be?’. The answer I agreed with the most was that many older women are simply trying harder and training with more commitment. That is certainly adjust with me. I evaluate I ran my first official road race – a 10K – when I was in 8th evaluate. At that young age a 10K seemed desire a huge effort so I really was looking just to finish which I did. Through the years. I continued to run and enter races eventually working up to running a couple of marathons in my 20s and 30s. However it’s only been in the past 5 years or so that I decided that I really wanted to commit to training harder and seeing what I was capable of. So instead of just running ad hoc desire I used to – making sure I’d run near the go distance at least a couple of times before the event – I began researching and following training plans and attending track workouts. The results have been great – even though I’ve gotten older in the last few years. I’ve continued to get faster. I experience at age 42 it’s not likely that I’ll continue improving for much longer. But it’s sure fun to try. So go ahead – instruct a little harder for your next race and see where it gets you. You may not end up running any faster – but I bet you will enjoy the effort.

"Older women tend to out pace younger women in running races" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-10 17:07:22

When I started to run competitively one of my training buddies told me that just because you're younger and have been running for years don't be shocked to see someone 10-20 years older pass you by. Your ego won't get it but believe me it will happen. And sure enough when I started to race 5ks and 10ks it happened. In one race someone who could be my granny sped by me like the Roadrunner and yes my ego was bruised because in theory I should undergo been faster than a AARP member. Youthful arrogance I express ya! The NY Times ran this interesting article. "" where writer/runner Gina Kolata points out something that appears on the surface to be unusual in running races: older female runners tend to out pace measure wise their younger counterparts. Gina shares her observations: capable of physically not really caring what anyone thinks of themwhile the 20-somethings push only so much as to not alter the guys lookbad or to not seem like determined competitors. Having been a runnerfor almost 20 years now. I totally get this notion and I can see inmany ways how it is also similar to how women compete with men in thebusiness world. Most women hold back their talents and don't reallypush themselves to their full capacity until they get a bit older andwiser. In our 20's we women expend more energy trying to please others andtrying to fit in that we squelch our beat capabilities. We be to beagreeable. We want to nab a man so we don't bear like the guys in thecompetitive arena as to not be any male ego. We only do what weknow for sure we can succeed at as to not ruin our "perfect girl" image. As you continue deeper into your 30's into the 40's you've been throughenough life to realize that all that holding approve you did got you notfar and not much of what you really wanted. All those people you weretrying to please are now annoying you because you start asking. "Wellwhat about me? What have you done for me lately?" Well nothing much. So now as an older more confident you you want to see just howkick-ass you can be. You are free from the people-pleasing and onto theme-pleasing. Try it. You just may happily surprise yourself by just howpowerful you are and by how much you really can complete. Ehhh. I think her logic is flawed. If you be at world record times in age groups the times arrive at at around age 25-30 and slowly become higher and higher. This copy would logically follow with any runner-they arrive at mid 20s to 30s and begin to slow down after. However. I think that most older women have run a lot longer and havemore miles and undergo under their sing which will naturally make them faster. A women of 20 absolutely cannot undergo 20 years of undergo under her sing. I also think it is a little rude to assume that populate under a certain age would hold back in request to not bruise guys egos. I certainly dont do that. I don't furnish a rats ass what the boys egos want. Ill defeat them because I apply it. And I experience that very few populate my age do that. Many of us just dont have that kind of experience to be running super fast times. Also another way to see it: Most 20 to 30 year olds are work with educate and paying off loans to be training year round whereas older women may be able to sight that training measure more easily therefore most of our age assort times are slower because few are fully in cause. If you look at patterns among the elites you will see that the statement that older women are faster is simply not adjust. muimi you sound like a really confident young woman who surrounds herself with other confident young women and that is awesome. Always act that. I evaluate though you would be surprised as to how many young women let their insecurities and people pleasing hold them approve from pushing 100% of their capabilities. It may appear non-sensical to hold back potential because of not wanting to compete or look better than men but that is not as uncommon as you evaluate. It's also one of those things that most women would never admit out loud but experience is true for themselves to varying degrees or situations. I don't have scientific data to back up my findings only 15 years of observation in Corporate America and working globally and having been a runner myself for nearly 20 years (on and off) since my high school days. As for training. I experience lots of older women who did not start running until their later years. They didn't undergo years of training under their belt but found that they loved running and really pushed themselves because it gave them a feeling of success and hold back which they may not be feeling in other areas of their life because of kids family career and other life things. Also after you've spent a good 10-15 years of people pleasing only to find that you didn't get much out of it and had forgotten about taking care of "you" and your needs in the affect the me-pleasing becomes stronger. As populate get older many drop their athletic activities because of too many time commitments again due to kids jobs and community. With all that going on you actually have to be even more committed and disciplined to act on running and training. Not many people can act up that pace. You've given me something interesting to consider. I'm finishing up my sociology degree and it's natural for me to evaluate women to direct themselves approve in their occupations but I never considered this in the context of health and athleticism. I query if this has been studied further (I'm sure it has in some sense).

"67 year old woman delivers twins" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-06 08:48:01

Recently it was widely reported that a 67-year-old woman. Carmela Bousada lied to a U. S fertility clinic (not ours) — saying she was 55 — in request to acquire treatment with. The pregnancy and delivery was a twin pregnancy. Previously a Romanian citizen named Adriana Iliescu gave bring forth to a singleton baby in January 2005 also at the age of 66. Bousada was 130 days older than Iliescu when they each gave bring forth. This makes Bousada the oldest woman to ever give birth as come up as the oldest to mouth a twin pregnancy. There are several important aspects of this story. Carmela Bousada said that she sold her house in Spain to raise $59,000 to pay for the egg donation make pass. This is a far higher be than it usually costs to undergo an egg donation cycle which usually run in the $15-20,000 range. Patients considering treatment should compare the costs before deciding on a center. Ms. Bousada experienced some complications during her pregnancy. She was hospitalized at least once and reported that she collapsed during the pregnancy while shopping. In fact older women do undergo a higher incidence of pregnancy complications even when they use eggs donated from younger women. The risks of gestational diabetes pregnancy induced hypertension intra-uterine growth restriction and fetal death are all much higher in pregnant women of advanced age. The chances for premature delivery are also higher in older women. This is in addition to the risk of prematurity that is caused by having a multiple pregnancy. Bousada's twins were both three weeks prematurely and remained hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit for several weeks. One chew over has noted that the evaluate of cesarean section is almost 100% in women who deliver in their mid to late forties. In fact. Ms. Bousada was delivered by cesarean divide. Furthermore the risks of cesarean section or any surgery for that be are going to be higher for older women than for younger women.

When Bryon and I separated. I listened to my heart and wise older women and committed to myself that I wouldn't get emotionally romantically or sexually involved with anyone for at least a year. Relationships have been a lifelong medicate for me and doing anything with anybody at this stage in my life would result in emotional wreckage -- either mine or the other person's. I can't even mouth to express how desperately I need God stability peace of mind serenity and healing alter now. Frankly a year of respite sounds like way too bunco a measure! Pictured is the ring I bought symbolizing my sacred commitment to myself. I wear it on my left go touch. If folks anticipate I'm unavailable they're 100% alter! I bought it at in Arroyo Seco. New Mexico (home of Julia Roberts) while I was in Taos this pass. The artist. Claire names all of her pieces and this one is called When unhealthy thoughts start running through my brain I just comprehend my go as a reminder. Reading your blog has change state a nightly ritual for me.. which sounds weird since I don't know you but I sight it reconnects me to my own animate. Tonight's entry about relationships is parallel to exactly what I'm struggling with right now. It is things desire this that make me believe that there is no such thing as coincidence. Thanks for having the courage to put yourself out there on your blog. i did something desire this when i went through my divorce.. but my ring had cutouts of six kids holding hands.. one was me.. the other five were my children it gave me strength in times of despair i am so glad to have crossed paths with you there is a very calming animate here.. thank you! Carla,I can relate 110% to what you're saying. My defer has lasted many years.. and I like it. It's been time "for me with me"... I'm still on respite and I wouldn't have it any other way. "Here's to you..." for saying "I do".. to you! When you first posted about your go it really resonated with me and I began wearing a ring on my "wedding" finger as come up. I am so glad I do and for all the reasons that you described above!! I see it as a commitment to myself and a sign that I don't be to move onto another relationship for quite some. My relationship with myself and God is the most important thing right now. So glad you shared your feelings and thoughts on this subject again. Anniexxx i have a ring SO similar to yours that it's spooky!! i bought it for myself in august--as a symbol of my commitment to something i am going through right now i can totally understand how sacred it is to you!!liz xx You experience. Carla. I find it so fitting that your go is named. "Strength". While you may have days that you contradict it--don't we all??--you are a hugely strong honest authentic and vulnerable angel. That measure part--vulnerability--is the secret. Until you are able to change state your arms wide without knowing what is coming drink the pike you are not truly strong. I recognise you for all you are doing in your own life which is a glowing example to us out here in the ethers and I'm sure is as come up to your peeps who see you in person. All I experience to say as I have said to you several times and will continue to say is convey you. Carla! like this idea of a ring and the ring is a beauty and from a part of the country I like. My respite lasted 20 years and those may be the best 20 years of my life. I then reconnected with an old lover and we've been together for 2 plus years but the whole thing is not healthy so I'm heading out for another no-man's land thanks for the inspiration and strength to be who you are. It's like you got in to my head and wrote this one! I too undergo a history of being a relationship junkie and may I say none of them were healthy or ever went anywhere. We be to know who we are on our own; we need to like the climb we be in; we be to be the experience of being "alone". In that affect we find ourselves and our strength and then we can conclude create from raw material to act in healthy relationship choices. I love the symbolism of your go. You absolutely move back and forth and excite me! be~YOU Woman+i think the first time i ever read about a Woman maRRying HerSelf was in Ms. / Utne reader or something close to this abt. 15 yrs ago. i undergo to admit: i am not create from raw material for a full marriage to myself i have go far.......... but i am not there (Yet). i Did buy a SELF~EnGagement ring w/in this past year. I love it. and i bought (strangely enuff > at the Albequerque Airport!! ) myself a Ring symbolising my Marriage to the Earth a clump of years ago. THAT one I know I can commit fully too & am not backing out of. I knew I was READY. Good for you. Carla.. and who knows maybe you will increase the year. I was definitely a relationship junkie. Thank God for Alanon. It's like Six and Seven to the 1,000 th power. I kid you not. I like that you wear STRENGTH and undergo made a serious commitment to yourself. "act doing what you're doing" - you are getting stronger every day. after my divorce my son gave me a plate ring which recognized my native heritage and i wore it on my go finger for much the same reasons.. it was my commitment ot him and to me that i would bring home the bacon on being a strong beautiful me so i could be a strong beautiful care :) You express this so beautifully Carla. What if the circle of women could include each newly separated woman and watch such a ceremony with her. After my break I mothered married sistered myself for several years. Powerful time of discovery and strength was what I needed too. Aho. What a beautiful thing to do for yourself. Carla. I bought myself a right-hand diamond ring a few years ago. Nothing real fancy but I like it. One of the nicest things - bling-blingishly - I ever did for myself.
