1. Elitist. You could have been giving lipstick woman quarters.

Glad you had fun. I think she's wonderful.

3. She gave a fantastic speech! The conference was

"Women, Wages, and Work" She gave the luncheon keynote address, about women's retirement security. :)

I do too.

2. why doesnt she use kerry any more?

[bicentennial_baby]

4. Here's what she said:

"My legal name is still Teresa Heinz. Teresa Heinz Kerry is my name... (only) for politics. Just so people don't ask me questions about so and so is so and so's wife or this and that. Teresa Heinz is what I've been all my growing-up life, adult life, more than any other name. And it's the name of my boys, you know?...So, that's my legal name and that's my office name, my Pittsburgh name."

5. She's sounds great

But yikes that still seems cold.

7. teresa heinz is awesome. her speech when kerry won the dem nomination

was so uplifting

8. Why?

I didn't change my name when I got married. :shrug:

[Gormy Cuss]

10. You're cold.

j/k

I didn't change mine either. Also I know two women who like Heinz kept their prior marriage name because that was the surname of their kids and the one in use when they established themselves in their careers. Their current husbands had no issue with it, so why should anyone else?

11. My Impression is she dropped the Kerry after he lost.

And in my book that is cold.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

12. nope she only uses it to help her husband. which is pretty much the opposite of cold.

[Texasgal]

15. Were did you get that impression?

[Carnea]

16. She was called Teresa Heinz Kerry during the campaign?

Not trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill here.

But speaking as someone who pees standing up. If I lose the big job and my relatively new wife goes back to her old name (not maiden mind you but last husband) I'm going to feel a breeze.

[Texasgal]

17. I guess it's all how you look at it.

I tend to have the "impression" that she used the "Kerry" last name to HELP him during the election. She never took teh name legally so she reverted back after the election was over.

:shrug:

9. It makes sense to me.

My kids will always come before all else. I will always keep their daddy's name. It's who I am.

13. Hey, you keep your hands off of my mother.

This is your only warning. ;)

[bicentennial_baby]

14. I love Mama T
