I sometimes have a problem responding to stupidity with love. I guess I have to remind myself that it's usually just ignorance and not malace.Kenni Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00043742713964680508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449051049141540270.post-14781056453161060592007-06-07T15:25:00.000-04:002007-06-07T15:25:00.000-04:00Great re-enacting pics!

As for your hubby's comment on being one of the "important" people, it takes a LOT of time, money, research and effort to be one. It's much easier to be an average joe. When I first joined, I wanted to be an aristocrating lady. The problem is, I just couldn't pull it off! So, now hubby and I are basically butler and lady's maid to our "aristocratic" friends. We get to dress almost as fancily as they do. We live in a well accomodated tent (see my blog) we eat great! Most people think we're indentured servants, but our positions in the 18th century would have been a paid career and we would have been free. We wouldn't have been considered aristocratic, but we would have been higher up on the social ladder than most people. Of course, hubby and I also do the Turkish thing, too. <BR/><BR/>Another thing....even though the "important" people get to live in those nice tents with all that nice stuff, they don't have servants in real life to do the setting up and taking down. We have to do that all ourselves! My friends have a HUGE tent(you can park 3 truck side by side inside and still have room) and all sorts of fancy furniture, silver, etc. It takes them 4 hours to set up.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05961614872895512970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449051049141540270.post-86540747460628480272007-06-07T12:46:00.000-04:002007-06-07T12:46:00.000-04:00Yup, I am on the QF list - I guess I need to pay b...Yup, I am on the QF list - I guess I need to pay better attention to those types of conversations - I've only been a member for a little while though.<BR/><BR/>My friend in CO, who never could conceive, adopted three - all very close in age. When she got the "Boy, you sure do have your hands full!" comment - she ALWAYS responded with, "Better full than empty". And she *really* meant it, she had felt "empty" for 9 years.<BR/><BR/>~LoriAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12295189090047887816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449051049141540270.post-91068636785895358472007-06-07T12:35:00.000-04:002007-06-07T12:35:00.000-04:00Are you on the Quiverfull digest?

Besides "All they all yours" the most popular is "Don't you know what causes that?" or "Boy, are your hands full!"<BR/><BR/>To "Are they all yours?" I usually say "Yes, I sure am lucky!" To the hands full one, I say "Better full than empty!"Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16120027058653022897noreply@blogger.com
