Women are NOT really evil.... they are similar to men in many ways ................ just 'different' - as long as you don't try and understand what makes a woman tick you'll be ok..... I KNOW what makes a woman tick - and it's normally a time bomb waiting to go off![/quote] Well, like the other thread that got pulled? (Overexposed)
True, I missed those and many others. Hi Steve nice to see you.
A night I should have just stayed with Homework.
Have been studying all week end just wanted a little breath of fresh air.
Guess I should have read a light book. But my light reading tends to follow things like Einstien's Therory of Relativity or the work of Others, like Professor Kip Thorne in that arena.
Wow. Talk about insulting. Here you go: Inventions By Women The following is a partial list of the many ingenious inventions by women.

Mystery Inventors We'll probably never know how many women inventors there were. That's because in the early years of the United States, a woman could not get a patent in her own name. A patent is considered a kind of property, and until the late 1800s laws forbade women in most states from owning property or entering into legal agreements in their own names. Instead, a woman's property would be in the name of her father or husband.
For example, many people believe that Sybilla Masters was the first American woman inventor. In 1712 she developed a new corn mill, but was denied a patent because she was a woman. Three years later the patent was filed successfully in her husband's name.
It is the most revealing and powerful thing we can do as human beings is to talk to another and allow them to see the truth behind all our words by letting them look deeply into our eyes... :yay:
RE: What's in a name??
Esp when they don't even know you or are writing for the first time.
