Eureka moment
I have been so busy with another class, blackboard, reading for this class, and dealing with some personal issues that I have not had time to consider an eureka moment. Gender brings to mind, however, that sometimes being treated differently is not so bad. For instance, a couple of weeks ago I went into a convenience store to get 6, 1/2 gallon drinks for a classroom party we were having that afternoon. I came to the counter carrying all 6 containers and both cashiers were waiting on two other gentlemen. They turned around and saw me and one man quickly moved his things out of the way so I could put some of my drinks down as the other approached me and took a couple containers off me and placed them on the counter for me. As I was leaving they opened the door for me and even asked if I needed any help. I do not think they would have done this if a were another male.

I think it is better if you live with a person first. I know from my previous marriage I was more concerned with upsetting my mother instead of living with him and found myself getting married, yet again, way to soon. I really wanted to make this work, but discovered his ego boundaries did not extend much further then his shoes. So, I am now divorced because I was more concerned with pleasing other people (which tends to be a female trait) and am starting a new life at the age of 50.
