Hang on a second. Joy...i have no idea where that came from. and quite honestly, it sounded like you are responding to the Swine flu updates. but in response to some of your questions, i would rather have a healthy immunse system. and in response to house of mirth... i still stand by my idea to have a "sugar daddy" i am a huge independent woman, who demands respect, especially from men, but women's rights wasn't our smartest idea ladies... we still today want men to pick us up, drive us places, and pay for things..but that's not independence, (it may just sound like gentleman qualities) but in a sense we are depending on guys to do those things for us. Lilly was a beautiful woman, who was brought up thinking she deserved the best. she didn't compromise herself, by having seldan (although i am a huge fan) she thought she coudl do better. taking that chance, just as if she had taken a chance on seldan, ends badly, but none the less. she took a chance, and failed. miserably. but at least she's consistant. she hadn't succeeded yet, and at least she didn't end up succedding int he end. so in summery....i'm still looking for my sugar daddy to open my doors pay for things and keep me entertained. i mean... hey...a girl can hope right? i may turn out like lilly, but i won't compromise either.
peace out class!

Ah, consistency...Emerson said that "a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.... Speak what you think today in hard words and tomorrow speak what tomorrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict everything you said today."

Your underlying point here about wanting equality but then expecting to be pampered is an important one, I think. But don't be too quick to knock feminism. After all, if not for feminism, Lily's extremely restricted options might be yours as well. The fact is, if you don't find a man to take care of you, you have other choices.
YES! i basically live my life by that statement. speak in words as hard as cannonballs and speak the tomorrow thing. i loveeeeeeee that!
