the catholic church made it the "feast day of st. joseph the working man" so that catholics could have parties of there own-- that happened sometime in the mid 50's-- other wise i would have ended up as josephine-- and since i dislike names for women that are really men's names-- words too, Actor's all--no more actress's and aviator-- forget aviatrix, it's just as well.
but try as i might, i can't force the end to such sexist words! some have even shown up on this board!
St. Helena feast day is some time in the first week of may-- 4th or 5th i think...
(but it took my parents long enough to agree even on that-- my birth certificate notes that my first name was entered into the record on June 6th!--goodness knows what they called me for the first few days!)


my other obsession
