My journey at FR is much like yours.
I love the sharp wit on the fun threads. I lold at your frustration about threads with pages of good mornings and goodnights because I share it.
Im amazed at how many women are on this Q quest. Are we more open-minded? Are we more fascinated with mystery?
I’ve beenn on FR for a lot longer than 2.5 years but I won’t go into it. My experience is much like everyone elses. I was became “aware” elsewhere but found this thread and never looked back. I don’t participate in the other threads much but do read them.
I honestly can't think of one woman here who thinks that she rules this roost. We all have our parts to play. We keep each other not so much in the same lines, but at least on the same page.
I've had a steady journey of awe and admiration as I've participated here and learned -- one-by-one -- how very many of the posters whose intellect, analytical ability and ability to communicate I admire most are women.
Without the brilliant, talented -- and persistent -- women here, I daresay these Q threads would have vanished long ago.
This old octogenerian chauvinist readily admits: when I'm on the Q threads, I truly know I'm surrounded by female greatness!
I hope y'all will forgive my antiquated Southernness when I say,
"Ladies, I'm genuinely blessed to be working among and with you on this world-changing journey!"
Most sincerely,
TXnMA
P.S. I expect there must be several more active FReeQs here who've yet to reveal themselves to me as women. And, I know this old memory has neglected to recall several others I should have pinged. Please consider yourselves "ThanQ'd", as well!
