Shoot...my dad used to come home, whip out his plans, and go to work with his t-sqaure and slide rule until very early morning hours. Being a daughter, I wanted to be "Daddy's little girl"...so, I would sit and watch him. I did want to learn. LadyS...it still produces anger, with you, yes? Me too. Shoot, I could have been the "garbage princess" of the world, if my dad had been as smart with his business sense as he was with his drafting and designing. Ya know...EVEN if he had foreseen enough to put in a small, little clause giving us the rights to the recyclebles, not to mention, a real estate clause for dumping, charging, and then turning it into a landfill, where a low income community, or shopping mall can be built. (We did get one of those low rent shopping centers...but, the money ran out on that one long ago.) I would not be working hard, if at all.
