In reply to: Thank you. It was an enjoyable rant. posted by Catherine Cartwright JOnes on April 23, 2001 at 03:53:10:

it sure beats the "dazed and confused" label i had heard before.
almost makes me proud. thanks, i really like that and i have to admit
that was the way i was raised here, mostly, in sunny california.
i remember only one incident that irked me about my father. it was
after he met one of my best friends from my school and tried to tell
me to be careful that "they" didn't live like we do. innocent that i
was i said "your right, her mom and dad are both lawyers and man you
should see her room and house!!!". my dad was real quiet and then
just walked away. i laugh about it now but my mom's influence and
just the generation that i lived in taught me to accept people and
their differences as interesting and not threatening. i didn't really
know about racism until much later in life when it happened to me.
i will remember that "label", i like it. thanks, jennifer

Henna

: tantric yoga and nails wife for hours" (does she have a lot of
spare
: time?) or "Gonzo $ Fabboo $ New $ Highly $Profitable $ Deeply $
: Spiritual $ Cosmic $ Body $Art" or "Ancient Spritual Sex Henna
Secrets
: Revealed!"

: friends just after Diwali "gee did that hurt?" or "Thousands of
: American kids get curious about curry, hummus and henna at backyard
: parties while the other lot try BBQ chicken wings and pizza."

: Getting into media doesn't make something true......... it just
means
