Maxine's take on Halloween
I just turned the porch light off and pretended I wasn’t home.

And The #1 Reason Companies Don’t Want To Invest in West Virginia Is…
Or, the #1 reason why West Virginia cannot find reputable companies who don’t have morons drafting job postings, is due to the description I found while browsing HotJobs.com. Take a look at the listing, copied as it was posted:

What? Me Tarzan. You Jane. You work for me. Grammar, spelling, punctuation skills unnecessary. Me drag you by hair to get work done. I can’t even get an interview at Wal-Mart, yet the management, or human resources department of the above mentioned company hired an incompetent, bird brain to basically run an office. I’m taking a wild guess here, correct me if you think I’m wrong, but I think he/she posted the requirements for his/her position. Perhaps the person made mistakes on purpose to get back at the company for getting the boot. But, I’m highly doubtful. Go apply at Wal-Mart, no grammar, or, punctuation skills needed. I came close to sending my resume, then reconsidered. The ad gives me the willies.

Joe Tech Is Having A Mega Contest.
Joe Tech is one of the few I “met” via EntreCard, whom I respect not only as a blogger, but as a person as well. He has always held a high regard for integrity on his blog and with those of us who read his posts. Not to mention he’s a geek and I always promote geekness. At any rate, he announced just the other day, that he is holding a the “Joe Tech New Media Super Contest,” and to quote him:
Sponsors in the “Joe Tech New Media Super Contest” will enjoy a ton of new RSS and email subscribers, site traffic, product/blog/website buzz and brand name recognition. I will be working very hard to promote the contest and in turn, the sponsors.
Yes, I am a sponsor, (I can’t tell you what I’m giving away yet-secret squirrel stuff), but I’m not participating for the reasons he listed. He shares the same views on blogging as myself- give kudos to those who deserve it, interact with readers of your blog and appreciate the blogging community as a whole. As bloggers, we’re all a tad narcissistic, it’s a given, but I have always believed in the social aspect and tried to “convert” others as well-after all, why bother blogging if you aren’t going to engage with your readers?
If you are interested in becoming a sponsor, or would like additional information, read his post, Joe Tech’s New Media Super Contest.

Married Women With Children Should Stay Home To Save Money?
Barefoot and Pregnant?
I will link to the blog I am referring to, Abstinence-Is-Sexy.com, because I want to ask, “What in Sam Hell are you thinking?” What is even more troublesome to me? A woman is behind the statement-and I am quoting,
“Married women with young children should stay home because doing so benefits themselves and their families. Plus, you’ll save money too. How cool is that?”
I respect her opinion. I am the daughter of a mother who did not have to work outside the home until my father passed away and she had no choice but to go back to the workforce when I was 16. Did her staying home all those years benefit me? I’m sure it did -but I grew up in the 70s and 80s, completely different times compared to today’s world. (We were considered upper-middle class then, now we would be lower middle class). She does state that a mother staying home isn’t right for all, but this is the only moment of clarity in thinking at all.
Let me ask you something. Have you watched the news lately? Do you live in an area where parents don’t have a choice but to work, some two jobs, just to keep food on the table, (barely), and the bills paid? Tell me, what would happen if the mother, in such a family, stayed home? The family would suffer, the children would go without the basic needs and the already confounded welfare system could not keep up with the demands. (Some abuse it, some need it- this is another topic). These people are not living lavish lifestyles where they could give up a vacation, or two, a Mercedes and stop attending cocktail parties. No, the women, who sacrifice time with their children are doing so, not because they want to be a man’s equal-they’re working in the hopes their children will have a better life, food in their stomachs and a roof over their heads. In an Utopian world your idea wouldn’t be an idea at all- it would be a reality. Unfortunately, reality today is a frightening place to be.
Am I a feminist because I disagree? If anyone wants to label me with the term, I’m perfectly ok with it. I admire the women who are able to stay home with their children. I also admire the women who are able to balance a career and be the nurturing mother every child deserves. With your post, though, I feel as if you have a skewed view of the world. June Cleaver doesn’t live here anymore. And yes, women can and do have it all-by their own choices and not at the expense of their children.
