Womens Strength

My uncle died last week & I started thinking about strong women. My aunt had taken care of him for a long time & now she was "unemployed". So I was thinking about how much women have to put up with emotionally & physically. Of course I can't lift a cinderblock but I can deal with almost anything. Men used to leave for war( now women do too) but women had to stay & deal with everything.I know this isn't anything new but I was just thinking about all the strong women I know.The women in my family are very strong women.My grandma, my aunts, my cousins, my nieces & sis-in-law are all very strong women. I am in awe when a woman does a" mans" job. Police, Fire, Military,Automotive were all traditionally a "mans" job.But it's also the quiet ones like my aunt who take care of men & continue to live on that I think of. Many women I have met online who have stories of strength to tell. My sis-in-law who lost her daughter last year, my grandma who is 98 yrs old, my other sis-in-law who's hubby has been out of work for over a year, & my aunt who just lost her hubby.These are strong women.Love to All.

Passwords!!!!!

I am soo annoyed with passwords! Everything I am trying to do on the computer needs passwords. I have forgotten every one I have so I try to make new passwords & am locking myself out of everything. Why can't I just get a coupon without joining a website & making a new password? A certain bookstore whose e reader I have is always wanting a password. What is so secret about what books I read? ARG! I want the same password for everything & anything. One secret code is all I want. Something easy that I can remember. Something like "Password", or "Secret". That would be easy. How about no passwords unless I want a password? My choice. I have to go & call a customer service # for a certain bookstore. The password is Barnes & Nobles!

100 yrs from now (or 50)

I was looking for new craft ideas the other day & it occurred to me that crafts are way different than 100 yrs ago. People always did some kind of crafts but now with the computer it's all online. What will our crafts look like? Blogs are journals.Scrapbooking is almost all digital. Atwork is also online. I was against e books at first. I like the fell & smell of books. I like holding a book. But I finally bought a Nook. What will become of books, paper? Like the Twilight Zone episode of the obsolete man, will libraries be obsolete? But is that a bad thing? There is so much knowledge on the computer. There are so many resources available but what will people think when they see our crafts in the future? I like the old pictures & reading old diaries. I like my Nook, I like computers, but I will always like books.
