Just went over to the mens forum and I find it much more offensive to women than this site has been towards men

I agree with that njbb. Thus, I would get rid of the Men's Forum altogether for that reason and others I have noted above.

To answer ssmom's questions about assumptions, yes I do assume women know less about sports than men (in general) and that is why the Ladies Forum seems appropriate. If you (at least ssmom) think that men and women are completely equal in their "general" knowledge of sports, then I cannot for the life of me figure out why we would have a Ladies Forum in the first place

In general, I would put the majority of Mom's opinions I have read on the hsbbweb against any man I know Smile

Wow! So much for tee heee giggle giggle!!

It is my opinion that the ladies forum is kinda like a bunch of girls at the hair salon or wherever we might end up as a group and we are here to support each other, laugh, and sometimes cry together. We love our men, both husbands/sons/or significant others. We also love laughing at their "man-ness" and appreciate the vast differences in the way that they do things differently from us. Similar to the way that men love us but still can't figure out why we all have to go to the bathroom at the same time. It is part of our lives, both online and offline. All women also know that the men in their lives laugh at what we do too.

Unlike our (terrible) years in junior high, there is no competition between us girls. We may not always agree on things, but we don't post to offend.

So, I think that any man brave enough to come here is very welcome. BUT, please appreciate our good natured comical insights into "man world" and don't take things so personal. Most of us have ventured into the men's forum and have chosen not to take personal what we read there. (gotwood caught me last time!!) AND, like my momma used to say, if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all. If you want to discuss something further with any particular poster, that is what PMs are for. (but remember that PMs is VERY close to PMS!!)

Finally, I hope we can all shake cyber-hands and get back into the peace we enjoy here in the ladies forum.


Bathroom update: The walls to the shower are up, he got the greenboard stuff to make the first layer of the ceiling, and I'm hoping to have that bathroom functional in another week or two. But, he has to start tilling the garden here while the weather is dry so it may slow it down. We finally had a nice day here with no rain and it wasn't too cold either. A beautiful 75 degrees, sunny, and with a nice breeze. I planted a few new shrubs and moved some flowers around in my flowerbeds. Smile

Perhaps the original intention for The Ladies Forum was for woman to talk amongst themselves about the ins and outs of baseball, but if you go back and read in this forum over the past several years, it is very rare that we bring our technical baseball questions in here.

What you will find is a cozy, supportive spot where woman share common interests, and sometimes those interests branch out away from baseball.
Although we physically live all over the United States, many of us have found that our lives spin in many of the very same directions. It's a unique situation and one that I have found to be of great value.
Friendships have developed and a baseballmom sisterhood of sorts, ( if you will ), has been born. We laugh, cry, cheer, and support one another.

ClevelandDad,...if truth be told, I am truely an old fashioned kinda gal and I appreciate a gentleman any day of the week.
But I also try and make it a habit to make few assumptions these days.
The world has changed and so have the typical gender stereo types.
There are plenty of woman who know alot about sports and there are plenty of men who know alot about cookin'. Wink
As long as we all keep sharing what we know with one another, I think things will work out fine.

I for one am gonna do just what Its has suggested,....gonna go wolf down a ball of mozzerella in a nice balsamic vinegar/olive oil/mustard based dipping sauce - with about 3 big glasses of red wine - and get ready for some more baseball.

Gentlemen and Gals,...there's plenty for all. I welcome the company.

Geez, a girl is away for a few days (to watch 7, yes 7!) baseball games last week, and what does she come back to.....AN INVITE TO A SLUMBER PARTY!
YEAH! I'm in! Seeings how I'm from Cali and all, I feel it my duty to bring the wine, and, eh, (more chocolateSmile

p.s. If TR was not an old timer around here, I am sure I would have mistaken him for a TRoll.

No need to apologize shortstopmom...'you know who' doesn't go for that apology stuff. Wink

And FutureBack.Mom...thanks for the invite. I'd suggest you keep plenty of those Snoreclipse© Hi-Tech anti-snoring devices handy...they'll definitely help cut down on the noise. And I'll need a ride home after breakfast...my folks can't pick me up...may they RIP.

And now I know why ClevelandDad is never around the Men's Forum...I guess we changed the locks for nothing! Wink

Here's what we all need to do to relax...set aside a good half hour or so, grab the sports section or a copy of Baseball America and, one at a time of course, head for mom of 2 catchers' swank, new bathroom and catch up on some reading.

If you think it necessary you might take a book of matches with you just to be courteous or mom of 2 catchers may be able to convince us of the powerful quality of the new ceiling fan making the matches unnecessary.

So let's get reading...make someone proud!

play baseball ...

Several years ago ... trying to remember the exact year and am thinking it was '05 but so much has happened since then I can't remember ... 6 of us from HSBBW got together for a wonderful week-end in San Francisco. Two of the moms had sons playing in a week-end series 'against each other', so we decided to make a fun week-end of it.

I drove up from So Cal, another mom (whose son was on the home team) drove up the next day, another gal flew in from So Cal, the mom from the Bay Area (son on the visiting team) arranged the hotel in downtown San Fran for us and the piece de resistance (please do add the necessary French accent) was the arrival of two good friends ... one from Eastern Pennsylvania whose son was going to be playing in the Fresno area the following week (she came out early to party hardy), and another from the Sacramento area whose son would be entering a So Cal D1 program the following year. We had a blast, to say the least. We all had become good friends on the HSBBW, have a little 'group' we call the LOBBY (little old baseball babes yo), and communicate on a regular basis. I had already had the opportunity to meet the gal from the Bay Area, and had been friends with one of the So Cal moms for years (our sons played ball together in high school etc), so it was wonderful to meet the rest. We were missing three of our LOBBY friends but had a great time nevertheless.

So, it is indeed possible to have a sleep over ... and if anybody snores badly, do as our Bay Area buddy did (since she snores) ... be the one to bring the ear plugs !!! But I must admit, my hubby doesn't mind if I attend a sleepover, however, it cannot be co-ed (sorry CD WOODY) unless the boys have their own room

FB.M,

I have had the absolute delight of meeting actually a fair number of websters, both men and women. What a hoot, as they say. And it's funny, with only one rare exception because I didn't know her at all, it was as if I had known the websters forever. We truly were friends.

I do recall a couple of years ago, someone suggested a webster convention and of course, due to logistics it didn't happen. But wouldn't it be great if it could? I bet that so much of the bickering and nastiness would end because we would actually know that there was a real live person behind the screeen name......And this year, with gas prices and the economy in the condition that it is, probably wouldn't be the time to suggest it..... cry

Woody,
Do you think that vacuum cleaner has ever been used?
Geesh, they better "pool their dimes together"..bigtime.

SSM,
No apologies, especially from you. You try really hard and do a great job of trying to make us all happy and feel good, stay that way. I happened to think your topic for discussion was funny and right on!

I did a Google search on that particular vacuum. Turns out that it is called an upright type with a disposable bag. Supposedly it cleans stuff. None of us over at the Men Only forum have been too interetsed in doing much of that.

Mostly we use it to drape stinky wet socks or smelly mildewed towels over before we decide it's just easier to throw them out.


We did pool our dimes together...bigtime. We bought a replacement cannister of compressed air for our airhorn. We use that to rile up the neighbor's three-toed sloth...that guy really doesn't like having fun with compressed air. For as dumb as he looks and for slow as he moves he has learned, after several encounters with us, to convey his feelings with one of his middle toes.

I was up late last night working in the Men Only forum's Claymation craft shop (essentially a cat litter box that we have never, ever cleaned out) and I fashioned a rather lifelike rendition of the neighbor's three-toed sloth giving us his annoyed wide awake opinion.

I couldn't show exactly how he had that middle toe displayed, this is the Ladies Only forum after all, but considering it was only one toe he sure mustered a lot of slothly energy to pack into it.

I don't know much at all about three-toed sloths' communication abilities, but what he gave us was without question what was on his mind.

It's the best I could do...keep in mind that it smells much worse than it looks.

Be careful of ethinic slurs

Can I please borrow your reading glasses, or your eyes if you don't wear glasses to read, TR, 'cause I see nothing in my comment to imply/infer/whatever anything of a negative nature about any ethnicity. Many of us, especially those of us from back east, have grown up in towns with a great variety of ethnic enclaves and are familiar with some of the more colorful hand and arm gestures of our Italian friends. That is in no way a slur or an insult. And if you are reading that into my comment, then you are presuming a lot about me and my intentions than you should dare presume ... after all, as you so often tell others, you don't know me (and therefore you cannot presume to know what I am thinking when I am posting).

I am beginning to wonder why you make some of the comments you make, other than to stir up a hornets' nest and take over a thread. In one post in this thread, you state
quote:
We come looking for good discussion if that is ok
but I do not see where any of your comments in this thread would lead to any good discussion. So it is difficult to understand where you are coming from and why you even bother ... other than to prove that "TR is TR" and the word 'rude' is not in any vocabulary you would apply to yourself, no matter how intrusive and rude you can be. I wonder sometimes if you treat (real) physical strangers the same way you treat some of us virtual cyber-strangers on HSBBW.

And if you were intending to be humorous, as you intimated about your comment on the sleepover and 'sexual innuendo',
quote:
Will you ever learn to laugh?--
then I suggest you check your humor at the door 'cause you are just not being funny anymore (if indeed you were funny to begin with). You accuse ssm of having no sense of humor and it makes me think of pots and kettles and the names they call each other.
