Anne! 22 newsgroups, with everything else you do, how can you
contribute to that lot!!!!!

I only read threads with intriguing titles! Honestly...if the title
doesn't inspire curiosity, I kill the thread... it's the only way to
cope, really! <G>
The group has been busy tonight, while I was busy with my family
'confab'?
Everything is set for next weekend... ;-) We'll be partying on Friday
Saturday and Sunday.... should be fun! <G>

Hence the saying "if you want something done, ask a busy person". ;-)

Sacha, I kid you not, I was applying ergonomics before I even knew
there was such a word, or what it meant... <G>

Errrrrrr.......you mean busy women? Juggling time, emotional output,
community involvement, patience? Somehow it all falls into place? Gottit.
I bet it was a man that gave it a name. ;-))

Time is something like a jigsaw puzzle, and everything slots in nicely, if
you get it right! The word was invented (I believe) in the 1950's, and as
you say, probably by a man...women were too busy getting everything done
to sit around inventing words to describe their endeavours! ;-)

It's a bit like those reports that say "studies have shown......." and then
go on to report as some scientific solemnity, a piece of knowledge the rest
of us have taken as common sense for years!
