National Women's Friendship Day is Sunday, September 21
Debba Haupert, on the other hand, is someone that you'd definitely want to be friends with. She values her friendships so much that she created a website in response to being blessed with great girlfriends. Girlfriendology.com is the online community for women she founded in 2006, and it's based on inspiration, appreciation and celebration of female friendship.
When Debba told me that National Women's Friendship Day is coming up this weekend, that was news to me. Since I'd never heard of it before, I asked her to write something for me. And like a good friend, she did exactly as I asked:
Sunday, September 21st is National Women's Friendship Day. Founded in 1999 by Kappa Delta Sorority, it is a day to acknowledge the importance of female friendship, celebrate the women in our lives who bless us with their friendships and to remind us to be grateful for our girlfriends. Around the country, women are getting together to celebrate this day and the sisterhood of women. According to Kappa Delta, groups are meeting throughout the week to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer, to gather items for military women serving overseas, and to have dinner and reconnect with their female friends.Most women don't need a special day on the calendar to nudge them to spend time with their friends. But I'm not one of those women. It never hurts to be reminded of the value and importance of female friendships. If, like me, you needed a wake-up call to reconnect and spend some quality time with your friends this weekend, well...this is it.Take a little friendship inventory of your own. What situations have your girlfriends helped you get through? When have they surrounded you with support or made you laugh when you really needed to? How has female friendship made you a better person, feel prettier or relieve stress? How have you repaid the kindness, either back, or forward to someone else?
Make a plan. Get together with your girlfriends on Sept. 21st. Capture the event in photos or video. Experience the joy for friendship. Don't let this opportunity to spend time together pass without sharing, caring, and making memories. Then, in ways big and small, keep the celebration going every day of the year.

Happy Women’s Friendship Day, Linda!
Linda – I know your friends still love you, even if you’re busy!
Thanks so much for inviting me to write about National Women’s Friendship Day and for just honoring me with this opportunity.
Have a wonderful weekend – and maybe even sneak in some girlfriend time!
Thanks –

This is not exactly about women’s friendships. Women have much more serious problems with their families. For reasons.
let’s put the blame for the personal unhappiness and heartache of young people where it belongs to make sure they get out and vote. It’s not hard to understand. First turn off Dr. Phil, a castrated propagandist who has enough money to buy a trophy wife to cover up the fact that his fast talking is as cross wired as his face is goofy. The problem of the breakdown of love and happiness in America is not a mental problem.
Rule #1: The ruling class has the power to do whatever they want to do.
Rule #2: What they and their managers want to do is dominate all the women, which they do in the workplace and in the schools in various ways.
Rule #3: If you want to keep your job or get an A on that term paper, honey, pull up your skirt, as happens as often as folks drink coffee in the morning.
Rule #4: Every woman comes to know these rules.
Rule #5: No woman talks about them.
Today’s women are a harem for the ruling class. The owners and bosses and the worst teachers and priests get to toy with the women (and with the kids) while the men who fall in love with the women are DENIED ACCESS, crowded out by the creepy lechers whose taking advantage insults the women and destroys the self respect and emotional integrity necessary for successful courtship and love, with the problem made all the worse with the cockeyed morality spouted on corporate run TV. And men being made obedient fools out of by bosses, also as common as morning coffee, doesn’t improve their attractiveness to women. It’s time for a revolution and electing Obama is the first step.
We make the case for what we say, as taboo as these truths are in an America where lies rule by swift condemnation of truth tellers as evil or crazy, on http://www.matrix-evolutions.com , where we use a compelling scientific argument based on a mathematical understanding of evolution and information.

Linda, I AM your friend in real life, and proud to be so.
Yes — arranging lunch or even a phone call can be a challenge! But good friends like you are worth it
Happy Women’s Friendship Day, my friend!
