IF IT IS TRUE AND I'M NOT SURE THAT IT IS...

THAT MEN HAVE "XY" CHROMOSONES AND WOMEN HAVE DOUBLE X'S COULD THAT MEAN THAT WE ARE DOUBLY AS GOOD AS MEN? OR, COULD A MAN BE ONLY HALF AS GOOD AS A WOMAN, PERHAPS...BUT ALWAYS REMEMBER...VIVA LA DIFFERANCE! OOO LA LA! ***** I AM ONE OF THE LUCKY ONES - A SURVIVOR OF AN UNMENTIONABLE WAR WITH CASUALTIES HUGE IN NUMBER AND WAY TOO INSIDIOUS THAT YOU DON'T REALIZE THAT YOU ARE IN DEED ONLY ONE AMONG ITS MANY CASUALTIES. I REALIZED TONIGHT THAT I SHOW MY STRENGTH WHEN I RESIST CRYING, CERTAINLY FOR MYSELF. AND WHEN I START TO FEEL MYSELF STARING TO INDULE IN SENTIMENTAL TEARS - I STOP - AND QUESTION,"WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM WOMAN?" AND ULTIMATELY I FIND THAT USUALLY I AM THE ROOT OF MY OWN CALAMITY - AND THAT TOO IS AN INDULGENCE. REMINDING MYSELF THAT I AM ALIVE AND I HAVE NO UNSOLVABLE PROBLEMS, EXCEPT FOR BEING TEMPORARILY HOMELESS WITH NO MONEY TO SPEAK OF, BUT THAT WILL BE CHANGING RELATIVELY SOON. ***** I MUST THAN FRANCIS FORD COPPALA'S DAUGHTER FOR BRINGING ME FOOD TWICE WHILE LIVING ON THE GRASSY KNOLL...DECLICOUS EGGS SUNNYSIDE UP, WITH BACON, HASH BROWNS, PERFECTLY COOKED BACON AND WHEAT TOAST BUTTERED TO PERFECTION. THE SECOND TIME MY FRIEND THE SHERIFF FROM PLUMBER PARK BROUGHT ME A CONTAINER OF SPICEY NOODLES WITH GOOD SIZE PORTIONS OF DELICIOUS SWEET CHICKEN THAT SHE HAD BOUGHT ON MELROSE...I WONDER IF THE AMOUNT OF TALENT ONE HAS BEEN BLESSED WITH IS COMPARABLE TO THE HUMANITY THAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR HEART. THANK YOU AGAIN. ***** I HAVE TO GET USED TO NOT CALLING MY SON, "SON"...IT'S AN ADJUSTMENT, BUT WE'LL SURVIVE...I MUST RESPECT HIS WISHES BECAUSE IT PROVES THAT I HONOR AND RESPECT HIS WISHES, VERY IMPORTANT, PARTICULARLY BETWEEN PARENT AND CHILD, AT ANY AGE. ***** IF IT WERE REALLY TRUE THAT "NOTHING IS REAL" THAT WOULD MEAN THAT LOVE DIDN'T MATTER, AND WE KNOW THAT'S NOT TRUE.
