Beyond my sheltered experience. Sad that anybody is put in a position where they have to allow their body to be exploited and a stain on our society (or any society) that it does happen. I daresay there are some who would say it is their choice and their right to make that choice and, fair enough, it is if it is truly a matter of personal preference but I can't see that it would be a choice for most to live such a dangerous way of life.It is not just women! Or heterosexual!!
I agree with that!Beyond my sheltered experience.

If they are really ripe you can get them out but they tend to build up again and the 'cheese' that comes out is really smelly. Best done after a hot shower.Congratulations on your 39th wedding anniversary. Your feast sounded wonderful.
Mr K is on the mend as his temperature has already dropped back to normal. He still feels under the weather though. Hopefully he will be sensible and rest today.
The nurse has warned me that I will still probably need the cyst taken out and wrote some very lengthy notes for my doctor on my online record.
I spent a bit of time in Antwerp, and of course we used English. But those who lived in that part of Belgium and of course the Benelux countries, Netherlands, Germany. Even the eastern Europeans, are multi lingual. I worked with some on the production side, who could be fluent in up to eight different languages. And one engineer who was educated over here from twelve on, had as many as twelve, I think! He was a natural! It came easy for him.A cousin of mine left school with several language A levels and worked as an interpreter in Brussels for several years kind you he and his sister grew up speaking three languages their mother who was Italian could speak and write in 13 languages and was a Professor of English sometimes when visiting their home when they had a number of visitors it was like being in a meeting of the UN I was at a loss often seeing as I was not multilingual like everyone one else there it could be quite interesting though as often not all those there spoke the same set of languages.
Oh I didn't know not being pliable was being a prejudiced person.I like Neil's way of thinking but recognise context is all. Language usage doesn't bug me that much. Halloween as it has become is a whole other matter. Some big differences in family P. The boys know my thoughts - I think they felt hard done by as children although they remember a sleep over in the church as a good alternative.
It just came to me - VOCATION was the word I was searching my memory for.You're quite right. I didn't get the reference to working girls - didn't enter my mind. I get it now that you have explained it though. I did say I didn't have the wit for word games. Actually, now that I understand it, it's pretty funny.
It's a matter of supply and demand, I suppose. Or rather, demand and supply. I don't imagine that many of the girls involved particularly feel a commitment to a career in the sex industry. (There is a word I'm looking for, but due to my memory slippage, I can't think of it just now.)
Ah well - that's the French for you. Proud of their language and determined to see it respected. Can't say that my French is fluent any more since I haven't used it in years. Last time was when I applied for what turned out to be a non-existant job on the European Desk at the Western Isles Council in 1999. (They were only trying to put pressure on the existing staff member to apply for his own job at a lower rate of pay.) The interview was partly in French and partly in English, with which I was quite comfortable. I would probably take a while to get it all back now. Not that I am likely to be in France ever again, nor working for the Council.I found it difficult getting by in French when we drove down to the Pyrenees when the kids were at school, I could ask questions but I did not understand the answers. It compounded it when a large open wheeled lorry broke our windscreen with a big stone and we had to go from the Pyrenees back up to Toulouse to get it changed. Helen had got the school prize for French so we got by ok.
But not many in that area spoke English or wouldn't let on.
That's come up once or twice on our travels.It is unbelievable that English is the second language in most non English speaking countries in the world.
And spoken by more people than any other language. Even Mandarin.
And we can't be *****, learning another, have trouble learning English.

Thats what Helen had.. She gave four years of her life to being a doctor to asylum seekers.It just came to me - VOCATION was the word I was searching my memory for.
But not so easily in France!And as I mentioned, being the first other non native language most can use around globe, to get by if stranded in a foreign land.
Helen deserves a medal for her efforts. It must have a severe emotional effect dealing with all the horrors those people bring with them when seeking asylum in a land so far away and so different to their own. Four years is a long, long time to keep going in that situation.Thats what Helen had.. She gave four years of her life to being a doctor to asylum seekers.
Many of the women had seen members of their family murdered and they had been gang raped. It was recommended she should not do the job for more than two years but four years was too much and she got vicarious trauma.
People suffer a lot in this world of ours where we are but pawns to be used and compassion is lacking. Thank God there those who will help.

At least it can be said he didn't have a Twerpish education.I spent a bit of time in Antwerp, and of course we used English. But those who lived in that part of Belgium and of course the Benelux countries, Netherlands, Germany. Even the eastern Europeans, are multi lingual.
