    As its Friday, thought I'd pass this on to all you ladies out there:

    Did you know that it's Beautiful Women Month? Well, it is and that means you !!! Below is a wonderful poem Audrey Hepburn wrote when asked to share her 'beauty tips.' It was read at her funeral years later:

    For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.
    People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.

    ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

    And on a lighter note:

    Now I lay me down to sleep
    I pray the Lord my shape to keep
    Please no wrinkles please no bags
    And please lift my butt before it sags.

    Please no age spots please no gray
    And as for my belly, please take it away.
    Please keep me healthy, please keep me young,
    And thank you Dear Lord for all that you've done.

    Five tips for a woman....
    1. It is important that a man helps you around the house and has a job.
    2. It is important that a man makes you laugh.
    3. It is important to find a man you can count on! and doesn't lie to you. 4. It is important that a man loves you and spoils you.
    5. It is important that these four men don't know each other.

    Foot Note

    If we don't get some support soon, people will think we're nuts.

    When is "Praise women for something other than their appearance" Month?

    This was meant as both inner and outer beauty, and that doesn't necessarily mean how you look, ALL women are beautiful beings.

    I'm very sorry but not all women are beautiful beings. There is not a women on the planet who would say "all men are wonderful creatures". I have seen women do some pretty unspeakable acts in my time.

    "Beautiful Women Month" , please.:rolleyes:

    I'm beautiful, inside and out, every month.

    Crabby moods muchly in this thread? C'mon, it's nice to see some positivity. However, but.....don't know what Audrey Hepburn was on about having kids run their fingers through your hair - she must not have spent much time around the Mucky Fingers variety of child.
