NOvo,relax
Sit down and open a bottle of Newky brown.
The Forum is enriched by the opinions of our housewife friends not cheapened.
They may have different priorities to us, but haven't we all .Could you imagine me loosing sleep about unemployment in the north?or other such frivolities.

Here are some suggestions I thought of that might help.
1. What role did economics play in the downfall of the Roman Empire
2. Translate this entire thread in to latin
3 Can civil disobedience have any effect on tyrannical regimes.
I have no idea about any of that stuff, so all there you go all you smarty pants have fun, I'm gonna check the gossip sites to see if Angelina has popped yet, heard its gonna be twins! And to all you who have gone out of their way to impress the OP, don't bother, not worth your time.

OK - an interesting Topic for discussion.....from a not dull housewife...but my day job is...confidante, accountant, catering manager, project manager, teacher, diplomat, groom, nurse, tailor, negotiator, conflict manager, crisis management executive, matchmaker, chauffeur and mother....so interesting question of this thread....

If Noah bought only 2 of every animal onto the Ark, wouldn't subsequent generations of animals been increasingly inbred....

Frankly, it never used to bother me....I could eat which ever way round, just depended what was on offer and what I fancied.....If I didn't - used to go wander round the kitchens and cupboards till I found something - usually Borsain and crackers....

soooooooooooooooo just to add my 2 cents worth - who's HWP then??

BTW - Im not a houswife, Im a nursing manager working fulltime in substance misuse - oh and I have a degree. I'm also a mum, with a child that has her own pony and competes at weekends, attends pony club twice a week a son that skates and competes throughout the UK and is currently in training for the British Championships, has to be at training every morning at 6am for an hour and half before school and after school 2 nights a week also ( alt to my daughters pony club) He also trains at weekend.

My life is FAR from boring or dull, infact it gets rather stressful at times - I love coming on here for some general chit chat and a laugh in an evening, nothing heavy, dont have to worry about my spelling, great support for my move to Canada without the added stress I can actually have a laugh about it with friends ( laughing is a great way to ease stress so thats what i do) - somewhere i can vent, have a laugh and drink my glass of wine without feeling like i have to 'perform' or be on my 'best behaviour'

The Susan thread is great for that purpose - I hope it doesnt go away- I get very little time to chat on there but i like catching up with what the others have done / said.

Novo - Im sorry your friend has decided she is too intelligent for all us 'dull housewives' on here. Personally i find that rather arrogant. She obviously has a different way to 'relieve stress' in her life - whatever that may be, but it seems very spoiled and childlike to 'throw her dolly from the pram' just because of one thread she could easily ignore. Bit of a spoiled brat maybe?? or am I being as presumptuous as she is by making that comment?

Well said Tanah :thumbsup:

Why does 1 thread annoy the others so much i just don't understand, its not compulsary reading, sometimes its posting just to chat to like minded people with the strains of everyday living,

The problem is like Steve666 said the forum has become boring, but thats not down to that one thread, its because there are lots of relatively new people that haven't found there feet yet,

Lots of the regulars just don't spend as much time on here now and why should they they have achieved what they set out to do They are in Canada :thumbsup:

My life is far from boring and maybe i am dull ? does it matter we aren't hurting anyone with our thread and its giving a lot of support to people that need it, everyone is welcome as we keep saying, its only called a man caloled susan because i posted about the emails i receive daily about mail enhancement not a pop at the guys and it grew from there.

some come on everyone live and let live eh :thumbsup:

Or don't we do proper debate on this thread then?

I think you need to expand the question and explain what kind of answer you want.

'A bigot is a person who is intolerant of opinions, lifestyles, or identities differing from his or her own, and bigotry is the corresponding ideology.' (Courtesy of Wikipaedia)
