Women Against Women (conclusion)

Here is the conclusion to my series on feminism.

Women Against Women (Part 4)

Here's Part 4 of my Women Against Women rant.

UPDATE: Melody left such a nifty comment on this post that I felt I had to bring it forward so it wouldn't get buried:

I learned how to lie in self-defense in kindergarten. It went something like this:

"Melody," said the teacher, "what do you want to be when you grow up?"

"I want to take care of a pretty house." (Keep in mind that I was only 5 years old.)

"But you can do anything you want! What do you want to do?"

"I want to take care of a pretty house!"

"Sweetie, you can be anything you want to be - you don't have to be a (insert derisive tone here) house wife."

"But I want to take care of a pretty house!" (cue tears)

So, in self-defense, whenever asked, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" I would answer, "I want to be a lawyer."

It took a while, but I finally reached my dream - I get to take care of a pretty house, teach my children, take my time to cook nutritious meals and pamper my husband. THAT'S truly "having it all."

Whoo-hoo Melody! You rock, woman!

Women Against Women (Part 3)

Here's Part 3 of my Women Against Women rant.

Women Against Women (Part 2)

Here's Part 2 of my Women Against Women rant.

Women against women

Here's my latest posting on RegularGuy.com called Women Against Women.  It's Part 1 of what will be, I dunno, maybe four or five segments.

The Social Skills of Woodlice

Here is my latest RegularGuy column, this one on homeschooling, called The Social Skills of Woodlice.  Enjoy!

May the Force be with you

Here's my latest Regular Guy column entitled "May the Force Be With You."  Enjoy!

My Secret Shame

Here's my latest posting on RegularGuy.com called "My Secret Shame."  Chew on this one!

The cuteness factor

Well, I'm weeks overdue for a column on The Regular Guy website, so here's my latest, entitled "The Cuteness Factor."  Not especially brilliant, but hey, I've been busy.

Send me your ideas

As you all know, I've been writing a weekly column for RegularGuy.  Somehow it became my platform for country humor (don't ask me how).

Trouble is, especially with my brain-dead status during our busy season, I'm having a hard time coming up with ideas about what to write.

A reader just posted this comment:

Hi Patrice, I was reading some comments about some article this morning, someone wrote that she was "going to move to a farm, get off the grid, have a garden and a hammock" ...and I thought of you, I bet you could set her straight on the hammock part! Your blog is a great lesson on country living. 

Voila!  My next column!

Which gave me an idea.  How about if you, my beloved readers, send me your thoughts about some aspect of rural life (especially if it can be contrasted with urban life) that would give folks a chuckle?  Post your thoughts as a comment on this blog entry so we can all enjoy them, and that way I'll be able to harvest a wealth of ideas from your intelligent contributions.

Thanks!

Clueless in Seattle

I have a new column posted at RegularGuy.com called Clueless in Seattle.  Enjoy!

UPDATE: Before anyone gets too annoyed at my friend Janet, please keep in mind that "Janet" doesn't actually exist.  She is an amalgamation of numerous people I know.  I've received all these comments at one time or another from different people and decided to roll them all together into one mythical friend.  So don't pummel Janet too hard!

The bare necessities

I have a new post up at the RegularGuy.com site called "The Bare Necessities."  Warning, it contains some yucky photos.

Blender dogs

I have a new column up at RegularGuy.com!  This one is called "Blender Dogs."  I apologize in advance for the millions of readers I will offend.

Dust to Dust

I have a new column up at RegularGuy.com entitled "Dust to Dust." That's one nice thing about this blog and these columns - whenever an issue crops up that makes me want to blow steam, these outlets let off a little pressure.

Enjoy!

Armchair quarterbacking

I have another Regular Guy column up, this one written through painfully acquired experience with "armchair quarterbacks." Enjoy!

Another Regular Guy column is up!

I have another Regular Guy column available!



This one is called Cheap Charlie. It's not my most brilliant column, but it's late and I'm tired.

The (cough) Simple Life

Well, I skipped posting an article at RegularGuy.com last week because I was screamingly busy living the (cough) simple life. So this week, just to illustrate how (cough) simple our lives are, I decided to write about this most popular misconception about rural living.



Come read about my thoughts on the (cough) simple life.

(By the way, feel free to leave comments at the RegularGuy.com site so they know I'm getting read! - Thanks!)

You Might Be a Redneck If...

Here's another post I just uploaded to The Regular Guy entitled "You Might Be a Redneck If...

And yes, the accompanying photo was taken on our front porch.

The Color of a Cow Running Away

I have a new column up at RegularGuy.com! This one is called "The Color of a Cow Running Away." I enjoyed writing this one. I hope you'll get a chuckle out of it.

Another RegularGuy.com column is up!

I've got a new column up on RegularGuy.com called "Sex and the Country." Go take a look!
