Thanks for the reference to International Women's Day (8 March).  For the past few years I have been living in post-Soviet era Ukraine where International Women's Day is a huge event with more punch than Valentine's Day and Mother's Day combined!  Woe to anyone foolish enough to show up without an offering of chocolate, flowers and "shampansky"!  

FYI: this is also Women's History Month. 

It is god to pause and reflect on our accomplishments and to celebrate the joys of being a woman.  Here's to all you wonderful dedicated women in this forum - you are working to make a difference and I applaud you!

Life is good...
