[QUOTE="Star*, post: 535503, member: 4964"] I liked what Mutt said - because if we (meaning the BOARD) all had the same VIEW - what a boring bit of advice our own little world would be. AND Nancy I do agree with your observations as well; however (and this has been just within the last few years for reasons that I'll share) I'm now "an older woman" and things that I think NOW? About younger women? Have come out in those slap my hand over my own mouth attitudes that I NEVER, EVER thought I would hear out of my own mouth, BUT having blazed a trail, or lived "the life" Do even "I" get an attitude about some things? YOU BETCHA. Do I deserve to get an attitude? (twists mouth up, shrugs) Meh - I don't know - with my own kids and family? Certainly sometimes. With others here? (really draws face lol) Ohhhh (exhale) I guess I remember when I first came here and needed help and I don't think anyone pulled any punches with me - and I appreciated that because during the roughest times? I could picture each and every one of you standing behind me giving me the old 'stink eye' about WHY ARE YOU DOING THAT? In her own way? I guess maybe when you live as long as BW and do the things that she's done, and blaze the trails that she has for women in journalism? She's entitled to a few winks of stink eye.....and chalks it up to professional wisdom, and not attitude per se. But is it? Yeah - probably so - and I think if you were her friend? You'd say "Barbara - KNOCK it off....." We just have that luxury here of great friends that she probably doesn't have. She may have more money - but I have classier and better friends. Life is a give and take. - I wouldn't give anything for the friends I have here to take her money, job or righteous attitude. [/QUOTE]
