The summer that nearly forgot New York is heading out and I'm clearing my desktop for fall business. I have quite a selection of thought provoking articles to offer you in this update, as of 7 September, 2000. I have changed the message on the front page to alert readers of what I feel Women's Journeys is all about. After 3 years of crafting this site, I have finally published a couple articles by men because I think their political messages about the upcoming USA election are so important, I hope to spread the word with them. There's a little bit of everything, (minus glamor tips which you probably will never find here) with a great computer tip for your kids, (and you), a concert review, black bear warning, planning a party, women bikers, a sex article, a beautiful poem about a woman's love for her father, cleaning tips and the very popular quotes section has been updated. Enjoy!

Thanks for stopping by and your continued support.
Have a great Autumn,

Rochelle

GOOD VIBES

Close to the Edge with Yes
By Rochelle Jourdan

I'm only 36 years old and the Close to the Edge "album" came out in 1972, when I was a mere 9 years of age, to see them perform it now was such a treat!

HEALTH

Delegating sex to where it belongs
Anonymously submitted

I believe that whatever you want is normal – whatever your attitude towards sex, at whatever time of day, or life. It's normal, because it's what you want.

HOME IDEAS

Bird Feeders are Invitations to Hungry Bears
By Rochelle Jourdan

Sleepily, I went to see what the commotion was all about, lo and behold, I saw Mr. or Ms. Bear, (I couldn't examine it that closely, y'know) eating bird seed from the demolished bird feeder in our back yard.

Clean that Tub with this great tip!
By Kt Van Meter

Clutter
Arthur unknown

"I am Clutter," the mass answered, "and I am here to confound your life. I am the things you refuse to throw out though you haven't used them in six years, the miscellaneous papers, phone numbers, business cards, and chatckas you accumulate and don't put away. I am the inevitable manifestation of your sloppiness. I am Clutter."

JOURNEYS

Good Girls Gone Bad
By Barbara Waters

I attended workshops aimed at helping women overcome barriers, physical, mental, etc. - encountered upon entering the motorcycling life. The theme of the conference was "The Road has been Paved - Let's Ride! There are approximately 375,000 women motorcycle owners in the United States, which is said to be a conservative estimate.

POETRY

My Inner Voice
By Michelle Duncan

There is a little voice inside my head
that echoes words of wisdom said.
"Honey, listen to your heart" you'd say
What do Dads know anyway?

QUOTES

As of this issue, I have started putting the updated quotes in the main quotes section as well distributed them accordingly within the section. There's a lot this time, keep sending them in!

RANTS

YEAH! No Chicks on theTix!
A Letter from Michael Moore

Women put up with a lot of crap, but this year's Presidential farce has to take the cake.  If you are one of the awake ones of the American Public, (you could be if you're reading Women's Journeys) YOU can make a difference by learning more about the alternative candidates and voting your conscience this November. Let's Rock this Nation by not electing either major party!

The Anti-Nader Slogans of Fear
By Steve Krulick

If you've been reading campaign editorials, or watching the beltway pundits, or even if you've merely hinted to people that you're "thinking of" voting for Ralph Nader for president, you've been exposed to the "slogans of fear."
