Women have strengths that amaze men. They carry children, they carry hardships, they carry burdens but they hold happiness, love and joy. They smile when they want to scream. They sing when they want to cry. They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous. They fight for what they believe in. They stand up for injustice. They don't take "no" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution. They go without new shoes so their children can have them. They go to a doctor with a frieghtened friend. They love unconditionally. They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards. They are happy when they haer about a birth or a new marriage. Their hearts break when a friend dies. They have sorrow at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left. They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all sizes, in all colors and shapes. They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you. The heart of a woman is what makes the world spin! Women do more than just give birth. They bring joy and hope. They give compassion and ideals. They give moral support to their family and friends. Women have a lot to say and a lot to give.
A Chemical Analysis
Element: Man
Symbol: Ah (short for Arsehole)
Quantative: Accepted at 7 inches, wavy brown hair, 6'0 & qout; in length, though some isotopes can be as short as 4 inches.
Discoverer: Eve
Occurance: Found following duel element Wo, often in high concentrations near a perfect Wo specimen.
Physical Properties: 1) Obnoxious when mixed with C*H*-OH (any alcohol). 2) Tends to fall into very low energy state directly after reaction with Wo. (Snore...zzzzzz) 3) Gains considerable mass as specimen ages, loses reactive nature. 4) Rarely found in pure form after 14th year. 5) Often damaged as a direct result from unlucky reaction with polluted form of the Wo common ore.
Chemical Properties: 1) All forms desire reaction with Wo, even when no further reaction is possible. 2) May react with several Wo isotopes in short period under extremely favorable conditions. 3) Usually willing to react with whatever is available. 4) Reaction rates range form aborted/non-existent to Pre-interaction effects (which tend to turn the specimen bright red.) 5) Reaction styles range form very slow, calm and wet to violent/bloody.
Storage: Best results apparently near 18 for high reaction rate, 25-35 for favorable reacton style.
Uses: heavy boxes, top shelves, long walks late at night, free dinners for Wo....
Tests: Pure specimen will rarely reveal purity, while reacted specimens broadcast information on many wavelengths.
Caution: Tends to react extremely violently when other Man interferes with reaction with particular Wo specimen. Otherwise malleable under correct conditions.

Can cause headaches. Handle with care! 5) Found in various states; ranging from virgin metal to common ore. 6) Yields to pressure applied to correct points.
Chemical Properties: 1) Has great affinity for gold, Silver, Platinum, and many of the precious stones. 2) Absorbs great quantities of expensive substances. 3) May explode spontaneously if left alone on dates. 4) Insoluable in liquids, but there is increased activity when saturated in alcohol to a certain point. 5) Repels cheap material. Neutral to common sense. 6)Most powerful money reducing agent to man.
Uses: Highly ornamental, escpecially in sports cars. Can greatly improve relaxation levels. Can warm and comfort under some circumstances. Can cool things down when it's too hot.

Symptoms of Inner Peace
Be on the lookout for symptoms of the inner peace. The hearts of a great many have already been exposed to inner peace and it is possible that people everywhere could come down with it in epidemic porportions. This could pose a serious thrreat to what has, up to now, been a fairly stable condition of conflict in the world.
Some Signs and Symptoms
A tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than on fears based on past experiences.- An unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment.- A loss of interest in judging other people.- A loss of interest in interpreting the actions of others.- A loss of interest in conflict.- A loss of the ability to worry. (This is a very serious symptom)- Frequent, overwhelming episodes of appreciation.- Contented feelings of connectedness with others and nature.- Frequent attacks of smiling.- An increasing tendency to let things happen rather than make them happen.- An increased susceptibility to the love extended by others as well as the uncontrollable urge to extend it. :)
Life Questions
By Oriah Mountain Dreamer, Native American Elder
It doesn't interest me what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting you hearts longing.
It doesn't interest me how old you are.
I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive.
It doesn't interest me what planest are squaring your moon.
I wnat to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain! I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it. I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own; if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, be realisitc, or to remember the limitations of being human.
It doesn't interest me if the story you're telling me is true.
I want to know if you can disappiont another to be true to yourself; if you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul. I want to know if you can be faithful and therefore be trustworthy. I want to know if you can see beauty even when it is not pretty every day, and if you can source your life from God's presence. I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand on the edge of a lake and shout to the silver of the full moon , Yes!
It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have.
I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone, and do what needs to be done for the children.
It doesn't interest me who you are, how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand in the cenetr of the fire wiht me and not shrink back. It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied.
I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away. I want to know if you can be alone with yourself, and if you truly like the company you keep in empty moments.
Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart. To handle yourself, use your head; To handle others, use your heart. Anger is only one letter short of danger. If someone betrays you once, it is his fault; if he betrays you twice, it is your fault. Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people. He who loses money, loses much; He, who loses a friend, loses much more; He who loses faith, loses all. Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, But beautiful old people are works of art. Learn from the mistakes of others. You can't live long enough to make them all yourself. Friends, you and me.... You brought another friend..... and then there were three......We started our group..... our circle of friends...... and like that circle..... there is no beginning or end..... Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is mystery. Today is a gift.
-Eleanor Roosevelt
The Female of the Species
When the Himalayan peasant meets the he-bear in his pride,
He shouts to scare the monster, who will often turn aside.
But the she-bear thus accosted rends the peasant tooth and nail.
For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.
When Nag the basking cobra hears the careless foot of man,
He will sometimes wriggle sideways and avoid it if he can.
But his mate makes no such motion where she camps beside the trail.
For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.
When the early Jesuit fathers preached Hurons and Choctaws,
They prayed to be deliveredfrom the vengeance of the squaws.
'Twas the women, not the warriors, turned those stark enthusiasts pale.
For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.
Man's timid heart is bursting with the things he must not say,
For the Woman that God gave him isn't his to give away;
But when the hunter meets with husbands, each confirms the others tale--
The female of the species is more deadly than the male.
Man, a bear in most relations-worm and savage otherwise,--
Man propounds negotiations, Man accepts compromise.
Very rarely will he squarely push the logic of a fact
To its ultimate conclusion in unmitigated act.
Fear, or foolishness, impels him, ere he lay the wicked low,
To concede some form of trial even to his fiercest foe.
Mirth obscene diverts his anger --- Dougt and Pity oft perplex
Him in dealing with an issue -- to the scandal of The Sex!
(go to next column)
But the Woman that God gave him, every fiber of her frame
Proves her launched for one sole issue, armed and engined for the same,
And to serve that single issue, lest the generations fail,
The female of the species must be deadlier than the male.
She who faces Death by torture for each life beneath her breast
May not deal in doubt or pity -- must not swerve for fact or jest.
These be purely male diversions -- not in these her honour dwells.
She the Other Law we live by, is that Law and nothing else.
She can bring no more to living than the powers that make her great
As the Mother of the Infant and the Mistress of the Mate.
And when Babe and Man are lacking and she strides unchained to claim
Her right as femme (and baron), her equipment is the same.
She is wedded to convictions -- in default of grosser ties;
Her contentions are her children, Heaven help him who denies! --
He will meet no suave discussion, but the instant, white-hot, wild,
Weakened female of the species warring as for spouse and child.
Unprovoked and awful charges -- even so the she-bear fights,
Speech that drips, corrodes, and poisons -- even so the cobra bights,
Scientific vivisection of one nerve till it is raw
And the victim writhes in anguish -- like the Jesuit with the squaw!
So it comes that Man, the coward, when he gathers to confer
With his fellow-braves in council, dare not leave a place for her
Where, at war with Life and Conscience, he uplifts his erring hands
To some God of Abstract Justice -- which no woman understands.
And Man knows it! Knows, moreover, that the Woman that God gave him
Must command but may not govern -- shall enthral but not enslave him.
And She knows, because She warns him, and Her instincts never fail,
That the Female of Her Species is more deadly than the Male.
