Reflections on the history of women ...

Mineral Wells Index

By Sue Seibert | sue_seibert@att.net

One thing I have never been, nor do I intend to be, is a women’s libber. I think women had it so well before all that nonsense. I like the door opened for me. I like the tip of the hat and to be called “sug.” I like a seat given to me by a man or boy. I like being Mz. Sue and Mrs. Seibert! I don’t want to do a man’s job. I was a tom boy, but I never wanted to be a man!

I am proud to be a woman. As the song from Flower Drum Song goes, “I Enjoy Being a Girl.”

I feel there are certain things women should have no place in. The priesthood is at the top of my list. How many women do you know who could play NFL football on par with men? How many women do you know who could actually do all the rigorous training of the Green Berets or the Navy Seals? And, how many women do you know who could father a child!

  • reflections... on Proper Usage

    That phrase was made into a graphic on Facebook by someone who was as tired as I am of the lack of proper spelling, grammar, punctuation and the use of language in general.

  • Reflections on local attractions we don’t know about

    Last weekend, along with our friends, Jim and Louise, we went down to Coffee Creek RV Park to attend the “Sisters on the Fly” camp out, with their displays of various campers that were hand painted and decorated. If you’re interested in photos, go to my blog at http://siouxsue.blogspot.com.

  • Reflections on Keeping a Diary

    Many of you knew my mother, Rose Ficke Sparks. In fact quite a few of you were taught by her, either at the old junior high that used to be the first high school or at Houston Elementary School.

  • Reflections on Patience

    I had a person whom I don’t know well at all tell me what an impatient person I am. My goodness, I didn’t realize it showed so much to those who do not know me very well; but, of course, she is right. I am. They say patience is a virtue. It is, but, sadly, it isn’t one of mine.
