I'm pretty much into feminism but I love chivalry and manners in a man - but only if done with sincerity - I see through insincerity from a mile off nowadays - I hope
Equal rights simply means that we dont want to spend the rest of our lives chained to kitchen sinks and thought of as unable to use our minds - ok, we may not all have the physical abilities to do some of the stuff that men can, thats no problem - we have leverage and machines these days
Chivalry is amazing - when it isnt being used to promote a false impression, when it is a true measure or a man - wow - nothing better
In my experience - OBE's dont work like predictions or premonitions, they are a very pure source of truth and enlightenment - a way of moving on - and so hard to explain - curiously though, lots of people report similar experiences
I was 38 when I first became a Granny and was having none of such words He grew up calling me Trish and still does at 15.
He has since acquired 5 cousins and they are all growing up calling me Trish too - its so nice to just be their friend.
They know I am their Gran but more importantly, they know I am their friend and they can get away with more with me than their parents - we laugh and play and its amazing.
If his memory is anything like mine it can be selective at will, not work when I need it to mostly and for some bizarre reason, right in the middle of serious situations I remember funny little scenarios - I can only say "love your fish cos he probably has a heart of gold" - keys, coats and dates may pose a problem but the love will be as deep as an ocean - good luck Hun
PISCES: Hey you're not afloat this week, Phew! You're almost able to stand up once again, but you know it wont be long before you grow gills again and have to head back to your emotional ocean. A happy crowd awaits you however, you'll be feeling kind of like .. well Nemo and yes there will be a Dory, one innimable and brain scattered fish trying to lead you in your right but her wrong direction. I know this makes sense to you.
So right once more Al, it all makes perfect sense I love my emotional ocean
