Okay. Tough, I have to confess. I am NOT HOT!! I'm only 5'9". You can't tell in pictures. Kind of like Mel Gibson and Tom Cruise, haha. I wish I was 6'3". I played all sports my whole life, and just stopped growing in 9th grade. What a bummer. I don't have small man's complex though. haha. My anger stems from deeper things. I got into boxing when I was younger because size doesn't mean anything. You can box no matter what, cause you are going against the same competition. Wanted to play football. Wasn't bad, but like I said, stopped growing, so that bummed me out. I do keep in pretty good shape for a drunk though. Wanted to play cornerback for the Skins, so I could intercept your Dallas QBs. I told you before I liked the Skins, remember? Hope it doesn't hurt our friendship. Heehee. Oh, Bear is gonna be out here, and I know he is a large man from all reports, so I figured you would find out I was a short bastard anyway. Haha. My brother really got all the looks. 6 foot tall, dark and handsome. Great at sports, and a great musician. Oh, but I'm good with Math. Haha. Thanks God. What a fucking tradeoff there. Haha. Just gotta laugh at stuff like that.

Hey Molly. Welcome. Can't answer the question, but just wanted to :welcome: you. Oh, and can you do me a favor though? I'm Irish, and I just don't think your screen name is Irish enough. Haha. Stick around, and you'll appreciate our smartass ways around here. Again, welcome to our very unique family.

Ok I have something long to post. Please take the time to read it. This made me think of the girls here on our thread and the whole MWO site for that matter.

The Invisible Woman

By Nicole Johnson

It started to happen gradually. One day I was walking my son Jake to
school. I was holding his hand and we were about to cross the street when
the crossing guard said to him, 'Who is that with you, young fella?'
'Nobody,' he shrugged. 'Nobody?' The crossing guard and I laughed. My son is
only 5, but as we crossed the street, I thought, 'Oh my goodness, nobody?'
I would walk into a room and no one would notice. I would say something
to my family - like 'Turn the TV down, please' - and nothing would happen.
Nobody would get up, or even make a move for the remote. I would stand there
for a minute, and then I would say again, a little louder, 'Would someone
turn the TV down?' Nothing.
Just the other night my husband and I were out

at a party. We'd been
there for about three hours and I was ready to leave. I noticed he was
talking to a friend from work. So I walked over, and when there was a break
in the conversation, I whispered, 'I'm ready to go when you are.' He just
kept right on talking.
That's when I started to put all the pieces together. I don't think he
can see me. I don't think anyone can see me. I'm invisible.
It all began to make sense, the blank stares, the lack of response, the
way one of the kids will walk into the room while I'm on the phone and ask
to be taken to the store. Inside I'm thinking, 'Can't you see I'm on the
phone?'
Obviously not! No one can see if I'm on the phone, or cooking, or
sweeping the floor, or even standing on my head in the corner, because no
one can see me at all.
I'm invisible.
Some days I am
only a pair of hands, nothing more: Can you fix this? Can
you tie this? Can you open this? Some days I'm not a pair of hands; I'm not
even a human being. I'm a clock to ask, 'What time is it?' I'm a satellite
guide to answer, 'What number is the Disney Channel?' I'm a car to order,
'Right around 5:30, please.'
I was certain that these were the hands that once held books and the
eyes that studied history and the mind that graduated summa cum laude -but
now they had disappeared into the peanut butter, never to be seen again.
She's going, she's going, she's gone!
One night, a group of us were having dinner, celebrating the return of a
friend from
England. Janice had just gotten back from a fabulous trip, and
she was going on and on about the hotel she stayed in. I was sitting there,
looking around at the others all put together so well. It was hard not to
compare and feel sorry for myself as I looked down at my out-of-style dress;
it was the only thing I could find that was clean. My unwashed hair was
pulled up in a banana clip and I was afraid I could actually smell peanut
butter in it. I was feeling pretty pathetic, when Janice turned to me with a
beautifully wrapped package, and said, 'I brought this for you.'
It was a book on the great cathedrals of Europe. I wasn't exactly sure
why she'd given it to me until I read her inscription: 'To Charlotte, with
admiration for the greatness of what you are building when no one sees.'
In the days ahead I would read - no, devour - the book. And I would
discover what would become for me, four life-changing truths, after which I
could pattern my work:
* No one can say who built the great cathedrals - we have no record
of their names.
* These builders gave their whole lives for a work they would never
see finished.
* They made great sacrifices and expected no credit.
* The passion of their building was fueled by their faith that the
eyes of God saw everything.
A legendary story in the book told of a rich man who came to visit the
cathedral while it was being built, and he saw a workman carving a tiny bird
on the inside of a beam. He was puzzled and asked the man, 'Why are you
spending so much time carving that bird into a beam that will be covered by
the roof? No one will ever see it.' And the workman replied, 'Because God sees.'
I closed the book, feeling the missing piece fall into place. It was
almost as if I heard God whispering to me, 'I see you, Charlotte. I see the
sacrifices you make every
day, even when no one around you does. No act of
kindness you've done, no sequin you've sewn on, no cupcake you've baked, is
too small for me to notice and smile over. You are building a great
cathedral, but you can't see right now what it will become.'
At times, my invisibility feels like an affliction. But it is not a
disease that is erasing my life. It is the cure for the disease of my own
self-centeredness. It is the antidote to my strong, stubborn pride.
I keep the right perspective when I see myself as a great builder. As
one of the people who show up at a job that they will never see finished, to
work on something that their name will never be on. The writer of the book
went so far as to say that no cathedrals could ever be built in our lifetime
because there are so few people willing to sacrifice to that degree.
When I really think about it, I don't
want my son to tell the friend
he's bringing home from college for Thanksgiving, 'My mom gets up at 4 in
the morning and bakes homemade pies, and then she hand bastes a turkey for
three hours and presses all the linens for the table.' That would mean I'd
built a shrine or a monument to myself. I just want him to want to come
home. And then, if there is anything more to say to his friend, to add,
'You're gonna love it there.'
As mothers, we are building great cathedrals. We cannot be seen if we're
doing it right. And one day, it is very possible that the world will marvel,
not only at what we have built, but at the beauty that has been added to the
world by the sacrifices of invisible women.

Love you guys

Good stuff Bear. As always. I was always a jerk to my Mom growing up. My dad too. I hated them both. We get along great now. Sometimes we take things for granted. I do forget sometimes that there are amazing and beautiful women in the world. Sadly, we are inundated with the Paris, Britney, etc. And, that is not fair. Wow, just thought of my gram who was probably the most amazing person I've ever know. Died at 95, but very much like the story you posted. Strong as hell. Maybe if I wise the hell up, I'll actually be worthy of a women like this. Oh, and Bear is right. All the women on here are just amazing. I should say it more often, but, I'm still not fully recovered from my assoholsism.
