10 Nov 09 - 05:28 AM (#2763285) Subject: RE: BS: Divorce Fair in Paris From: Sandra in Sydney good one, Susan When I was working I used to love watching the folks & dealers who took part in the annual Wedding Fair that took place in the next building & the square between our buildings. Gi-normous tent full of luxury cars in the square, young women & their mums scurrying about with lots of lovely large bags from wedding retailers full of lovely ideas to take their money! As I was dealing with Govt stats all day I never saw the fuss without remembering the number of marriages that end in divorce. Same on weekends when I saw fancy bridal parties drive by in fancy wedding cars, or wedding groups being photographed in our lovely harbourside parks and around the Opera House. sandra the cynic |

Poem 88 of 230: FROM 20TH-CENTURY SEXUALITY From One Lover to Free Lover to Fee Lover, For children's sakes, let's fashion back to One Lover: In public-life there are - guess what - women and men; Thus, upbringing's best by a woman AND a man - Not by one or two men, or one or two women, And not in a tug-of-war of women and men.
