Forrest ,'Conversations with Dead People'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Nilly, you made an adorable little person!!!! Yay!
I had another radio interview for roller derby this morning. It truly helps to have an on-air personality on the team. She makes sure we get lots of air time to advertise our events.
I also had an interview with a newspaper reporter yesterday. I have another radio interview on Friday morning and am trying to pin down a third for Saturday morning before the bout.
Cute Nilly-Baby!!!
Go go Spokesroller!
Bob's niece has to do a report on "five women who have promoted equality." I'm trying to think of some who maybe aren't so well known who might be interesting for her to include. Any ideas?
I love a yawning baby Although from the look of his hands, I'm not sure that it's not a kai before he goes medieval (cause the criss cross onesie, kinda looks like a gi. With teddy bears on it.)
Ida B. Wells.
Good one, Erin!
lisah, Alice Paul?
Helen Keller, who is equally as fascinating for all of her socialist/pacifist/suffragette stuff as her physical stuff, which unfortunately is what she most well-known for.
lisah, there is a great woman actuary named Ruth Salzmann. She was successful in the actuarial field starting in the 1950s. Don't know how much biographical data is out there for her, though. She lives here in Stevens Point, though. There may be some useful info in DH's company library.
Lady Godiva was a freedom rider
She didn't care if the whole world looked.
Joan of Arc, with the Lord to guide her
She was a sister who really cooked.
Isadora was the first bra burner
Ain't ya glad she showed up. (Oh yeah)
And when the country was falling apart
Betsy Ross got it all sewed up.
And then there's Maude.
And then there's Maude.
...
Joan of Arc was "a sister who really cooked"? Damn, I never noticed that line before.
And the whole "bra-burning" thing is a myth, right?
