We started with four and now have more. Honestrosewater never attended any sister meetings, so I really never got to know her. Moonbear and Tsu are really missed. Sisters have to be active lounge lizards, with a size 8 shoe. Only 2 exceptions were ever made, size 9 & size 6.

Thank you, Lisab! I was wondering why I was absent from the list. Likely because my shoe size it outside of Evo's parametres. We'll just have to add more shoe sizes in, I think.:smile:

I call BS. Half those people haven't posted in a long time and have possibly been captured by the North Koreans.

Their numbers are dwindling. The perfect time for our assault to begin is NOW.

True you have to be a lounge lizard to get noticed, but watch out there may be spies about.

I enjoy having you ladies in here as well as the other less-visible females that may pop in here. You are after all a source of strength and at least the biologist in here . . . admire strength.

I was racking my brain last night. OMG, how could I forget Georgina, Lacy, fuzzy, and Monique? Others mentioned don't normally post in GD & the sisterhood really means that you are part of the GD goofball group, so not any female member qualifies. I know, I know, this means respectable, serious members may not qualify. Originally the sisters were the "Nuns with Guns", I see humanino remembered.

Evo, you have a short memory (it matches our short bodies). Originally the sisters were just you and me. "Twins separated at birth". Remember? :biggrin:

Well, there's Zenith8, the other Bohmian along with Demystifier. She's definitely around and worthy of your sisterhood.

I'm surprised, when you list it like that. There are actually quite a few women on this site, aren't there?

Spiffy cool.

Do you have lady parts and a strong desire to be a core member of the community? Ahhh, I'm kidding, I have no idea what I'm talking about! :biggrin:
