I was tempted to crash the men only party early on, but they seem to have a nice dynamic going. So I think the women should have a party of their own. :smile:
Just to get things going, I've been thinking lately about if, when, and why I might have children. Or, I've also been thinking about if, when, and why I might get a tattoo- and of what. I'd appreciate other women's perspectives on either or other issues. :smile:

Get a tattoo of a baby and kill two birds with one stone? Oops, I'm not even supposed to be here. Sorry.
 
CALL HIM! If he doesn't want to date you because you're a klutz, then it's better to find out now. If he really does like you, this little incident will not matter. CALL HIM!

Just a bit of party-crashing..

Men have that nasty habit of slipping into places where they absolutely don't belong.
Positively horrid creatures, really.

If you're a man, and you're in here, you'd better be wearing a dress*. If yours are at the cleaners, you can borrow Smurf's.

*Current exceptions to this rule:
Astronuc.
 
Pulling out..this wasn't my place really.

I have a better idea for a topic: penectomy.[/size] Partial or total? It's practice throughout civilization. Thoughts? Pictures welcome.

yeah. The bummer about having kids is that you aren't supposed to drink when you're pregnant. Really cramps your style, you know? I mean, what I like best is to sit around belching moosepiss and coors light. Getting plastered, falling down, passing out, and not remembering it the next day. Of course, tattoos are easiest to get when you're drunk.

Man. that's the best. And you can't do it when you're pregnant. Tattoos either.

So, what's the men's party about? Needlepoint and cooking?

Hmmm. I'd have to vote for enhancement, myself.

I also thought we could start talking about women's toys after a few more drinks. Any good vendors for that? Maybe one of us could host a house party.

Okay, wolram is on the dress exception list too. It's up to everyone else (so that would be, um, 1, 2, ... yes, patty and myself). Patty?

Sounds like a blast. The men should all be passed out by then.

Oh OK. He doesn't have to wear a dress. But he has to help with the dishes.

Okay, I guess if you're washing dishes, that's fine. Just watch out for the garbage disposal- I hear it isn't what it seems. You might lose more than an arm. :wink:

Wolram: you'll find the dishes in the kitchen sink. Please be careful with the pans, they have a non-stick coating so do not put them in the dishwasher and do not use a scouring pad on thiem.

The casserole has a lot of baked on gunk around the rim. I expect you to get that off, completely. The fine crystal goes in the buffet. Please hand dry and for God's sake don't chip any, it belonged to honestrosewater's great-grandmother. It's irreplaceable. (I cannot believe you were drinking beer out of a 100 year old wine stem.)

Geez, you know, men-only and women-only parties are boring. :rolleyes: Well, at least I grabbed some of iansmith's homebrew while I was over at the guy's place and brought it back for us. Don't think I'm going to sit here sipping tea and talking about having children.

Now, what was that idea Patty had about toys? Men have no idea how quickly they can be replaced by just a few of those and an electric blanket. :devil:

At least they didn't try to crush it on their foreheads when finished. :wink:
 
  • #31
Gordon bennit, that Pattylou is a hard task master, how can you have non stick
pans with stuff stuck to them, and if those glasses are so old its about time
rose got some new ones, scouring pads?? i will get my wire brush, this lot will
only take five minutes if i have some help and drop a few.
What was that other lady talking about, replacing men :smile: :smile: :smile: oh
my you poor thing, i think she had one sip over six, where the electric blanket
fits in i have no idea, and she rabbits on about toys, well it is just good
fortune that us guys are here to keep the dear things feet on the ground.
Ok washing ups done, and i need beer.

I've been told tattoo artists recommend avoiding the 3 B's (butts, boobs and bellies). All three are prone to, um, shape-shifting with age. Better to pick a place where your butterfly's wings won't be drooping after a few years.

what's this about tatoos and child bearing?

I AM PREGNANT AND I HAVE 2 TATOOS!

How's THAT for perspective! :-p

Ladies, childbearing is truly an experience that can give you a new perspective about being a woman and having some real strength. So you can't drink, big deal, there's plenty of time in life for that. I plan to have a big glass of champaigne within hours of giving birth for this one! (maybe not, i might be a little bit tired).

As far as tatoos, get one that expresses who you are, have been, and will be...not one that is just for the moment. I have my astrological glyph right under my (growing) belly button, and a yin-yang between my shoulder blades. It doesn't hurt, even when you are sober.
 
  • #36
lol at my age, things are settled pretty much where they will remain. But maybe it should be on my lower back so that when I'm 90 it will of sagged to by bottom?
 
  • #37
There is one that gives you even more prospective then giving birth to your own children. Watching your first grandchild being born.
 
  • #38
I love the color of that butterfly.

I've thought of getting a small tattoo just reading Remember me. Somewhere inconspicuous, on my back, shoulders, neck, or foot. The placement would need to fit with the meaning.

(I was just commenting on certain activities being discouraged during pregnancy. You're not supposed to have your hair colored, for example. The dyes that are used can theoretically get into your system and that's not good for a gestating fetus.)
 
  • #40
See, this is what happens every time the women get together for a party. The topic of discussion always gets stuck on pregnancy and childbirth and children and grandchildren! Gaahhhh! I'm going back over to the guy's party, and I'm taking the nachos and chili with me.
 
  • #41
NO! NO!

Come on, Moonbear. They're all blotto over there by now anyway. Find someone that's passed out, bring him back, and we'll give him a makeover. That'll be fun. I'll plug in the curlers.

To go with your beer, I brought you guys an assortment of nuts as a truce offering; I figured you were running a bit short on them here.

I stole some afgans and cucumber and watercress sandwiches with the crusts cut off from artman's house, I thought you girls could use them over here. Now Artman...we've got to talk...
