We chose Super Bowl Sunday with the idea of enticing women out of their houses while their significant others were watching football. It seems to have worked well.

It's about women helping women and women doing things together and supporting each other.

We're number one in domestic violence homicides. We also have a high rate of alcohol abuse and drug abuse and there's a high lethality rate when you get those factors involved, so the shelter has 52 beds, certainly it is never empty.

I doubt if there are many normal women who can resist looking at houses. I believe, in fact, that when a house is up for sale more than half the people who look over it are not prospective buyers, but merely ladies who cannot resist exploring someone else's house.

Women with clean houses do not have finished books.

The partitions of the houses were so thin we could hear the women occupants of adjoining rooms changing their minds.
