It's a good profile. Plenty of pics and to the point.

Good luck with finding your love.

Hi Jeff. Thanks for taking the time to read it.

Only if you fail the test.

Darling, I think you are simply sleep deprived.

This is the story of our Grandmothers and Great-grandmothers, they lived only 90 years ago.

Remember, it was not until 1920 that women were granted the right to go to the polls and vote.

~Night of Terror' on Nov. 15, 1917~

These women were innocent and defenseless, but they were jailed, nonetheless for picketing the White House, carrying signs asking for the vote. And by the end of the night, they were barely alive. Forty prison guards wielding clubs and their warden's blessing went on a rampage against the 33 women wrongly convicted of obstructing sidewalk traffic.

They beat Lucy Burns, chained her hands to the cell bars above her head and left her hanging for the night, bleeding and gasping for air. They hurled Dora Lewis into a dark cell, smashed her head against an iron bed and knocked her out cold. Her cellmate, Alice Cosu, thought Lewis was dead and suffered a heart attack. Additional affidavits describe the guards grabbing, dragging, beating, choking, slamming, pinching, twisting and kicking the women.

This unfolded when the warden at the Occoquan Workhouse in Virginia ordered his guards to teach a lesson to the suffragists imprisoned there because they dared to picket Woodrow Wilson's White House for the right to vote.

For weeks, the women's only water came from an open pail. Their food, all of it colorless slop, was infested with worms.When one of the leaders, Alice Paul, embarked on a hunger strike, they tied her to a chair, forced a tube down her throat and poured liquid into her until she vomited. She was tortured like this for weeks until word was smuggled out to the press.

So, refresh my memory. Some women won't vote this year because-why, exactly? We have carpool duties? We have to get to work? It's raining? Our vote doesn't matter?

It is jarring to realize that Woodrow Wilson and his cronies tried to persuade a psychiatrist to declare Alice Paul insane so that she could be permanently institutionalized. And it is inspiring to know the doctor refused. Alice Paul was strong, he said, and brave. That didn't make her crazy. The doctor admonished the men: “Courage in women is often mistaken for insanity.”

We need to get out and vote and use this right that was fought so hard for by these very courageous women. Whether you vote democratic, republican or independent party - remember to vote.

Those pre-recorded messages are annoying. I think one would have to be living under a rock, to not know that there is an election. BTW, anyone have any idea what the election is for?

Hello and welcome.

Yes, the site is for real. Hang out in the forums, have fun and good luck.

I know it sounds very cliché. But you will feel better, it just takes time.

Ruth, Don’t you dare be intimidated by theses so called “Christians”. Don’t make me smack you around with my crucifix. LOL!

I’m a Christian, my MOTHER is a minister. I’m sure that goes right up the asses of some “Christians”.

To you, “Christians”: I ask, would you send hateful e-mails to the Buddhists, Muslims or Jews on this site? I doubt it. This thread was created for people of Pagan spirituality. If you don’t like it, don’t read it and further keep your ****ing right-wing bull**** to yourself.
Your insane over-the-top ideals are giving the rest of us Christians a bad rap.

I am...sort of.

Be nice guys. He's new.
