CORRECTION: My information regarding the number of Seats gained by Women in the last Election in my comment @01.55 was quite incorrect. They landed twenty five. Sorry Girls!

Laura, I really am pleased you seem to be happy now but it makes your post @10.58 all the more puzzling. Please don't label all men by your own experience - afrer all, I bet they built the home you live in and invented and probably made the Batteries you put so much faith in! As for the Irishman in your life: We are noted for our love and command of the English language: and if you speak it as well as you 'write' it; I am not surprised he lost the will to live! Stay happy!

DON'T BE A LABELLER, Laura! a whimsical tongue-in -cheek comment intending to lighten the subject, is not hating! ~ The snapshot of your life and love experiences, does seem bleak, and I wonder how you came to be so unlucky with you men. Never Mind! ~ Keep trying ~ improve your offer ~ and you will find there are stacks of strong spines and billions of balls just waiting for your loving attention! ~~~ The stamps won't show images of any unwashed children,dishes and floors,or pictures of the wealthy English non-working women who began the Movement for female voting rights, which later spread to Ireland. ~ ~ ~ Anyone interested in this subject will note with some sadness that despite the Women of Ireland being allowed to vote freely in the last Election ~ they did not Return one single woman to a Seat in the Irish Parliament!

Dont be a hater, women DO IT (ALL) have babies & work full time & cook & clean etc: why you ask?? because the weak/failure men in our lives NO BALLS & NO SPINE so guess women ROCK!!!!!
