And even more sexual freedom for the more daring.<br /><br />I always associated the leap year with being the Olympic year. Then when they separated the Summer and Winter Olympics with the Summer Olympics only. Now I'll have a new association, the Leap Year marriage proposal by the woman.Sue A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01254019921532593363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908284284859079079.post-51813103286349758162016-02-27T10:36:10.809-08:002016-02-27T10:36:10.809-08:00Wow, Linda.

I especially like the vintage post card on the subject. I have family situations where it was the woman who finally asked "Are we getting married, or not?" Sometimes those men assume there is an understanding, and they are often attracted to women who want it spelled out in no uncertain terms.Zina Abbott Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07702876632509821510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908284284859079079.post-88041306148753878212016-02-27T07:20:52.643-08:002016-02-27T07:20:52.643-08:00I love to read and write about the twenty years af...I love to read and write about the twenty years after the Civil War, because that's when my ancestors moved to Kansas.
