It used to be quite strong, but i guess as the members get older and wiser
the links break, it is a shame as i used to enjoy their antics, may be a new sisterhood will arise from the ashes.

Where do you get such ideas, Wolly? Don't you know we are doing Spring training right now? We just got the new rifles in last week, and that's been keeping everyone pretty occupied. Plus, we're trying to decide on some new habits for the summer.

What's wrong with the old Kevlar ones you've always used ?

Are you changing your slogan as well (from "These old habits are hard to break")?

We need something more lightweight for summer. Like this:

I have been reading that females should be good sharp shooters, something to do with upper body mass absobing recoil, although the science escaped me.
 
The Sisterhood is as strong as ever!

Tsu's just been busy burning all those trees down. We do need to spruce up the Supersonic RV and go for another ride. We need Recon though. That girl needs to get her nose out of those books for awhile.

I remember this trip... Knock, knock, knock

Gokul -:smile: :smile:

Oooh, MIH, I vote for that one. :smile:

Oh I thought all of them are since they don't accept young girls in hood!:confused:
 
Well the sisterhood is a whimpy shadow of what it used to be, i bet you can not field more than three or four members?

Can I be the cross-dressing "aunt" who smells of booze and is avoided by everyone?

I am bringing Larkspur and TheSwerve to the next Sisterhood "Rush" party. It would not be bad to add a couple of photographers to our group. They would make excellent spies. :approve:

Agreed. Clearly we need a new Cosa Nostra-esque clan to take over. They've grown weak.

Do I have to tell you again that quality is more important than quantity? :devil:

I think we might be able to groom SimplySolitary for nomination soon enough too. Have to check on their shoe sizes to find out if they'll qualify for full membership or as nieces.

Times are tought, maybe in a bazillion years you fems will have reached,our level :smile: :smile:

Let's not forget our Mother Superior, Nereid. Then's there's Adrenaline.

Monique and Kerrie qualify due to their shoe size, (IIRC).

Yes, I think that one would do. Though, perhaps with a strappy sandal rather than those pumps. I don't want to have to wear stockings in the summer. Is the bikini wax party planned for Rush week? :biggrin:

And I've got a seesaw, which can also be used as a catapult or even as a mode of transportation.:-p

Ha! Such a naive girl. You'll never make the sisterhood with a seesaw. Our sisterhood is more fond of acitvities like this: Surely these people will do a good deed for the nun

Woo hoo! See, Woolie was all worried for nothing. We just press the alert button, and the sisters all return. :biggrin:
