Hello Country Gal,
Thanks for your response to my post, you might recall that I stated that there are extenuating circumstances in some instances....my husband lost his first wife leaving him to look after a 6 month old baby girl, and he managed the role exceedingly well.
I managed to be a tom-boy myself, more interested in cars than frilly dresses. But the nurturing really kicked in with a vengeance when I had my first and second child.
Glad that you were on the receiving end of a nurturing father :)
Cheers,
Noisy Scrub Bird

I am sure your eccentricity endears you to your family and friends? :)

GG is unfortunately (as Ammonite put it) fodder for the media and many of her other achievements and writings go ignored. But she certainly is a mixed bag of eclectic opinions.

Houlley as a bit of a character yourself I thought you would relish those who are different from the pack. Charles Manson was a little TOO different and psychopathic sociopath is not the same as eccentric.
