Just got back from Vespers at Smith. I think it was the sparsest, most pared down Vespers I have seen at Smith. No other schools participated this year and the decor was scant. Anybody else go?

The mox was pretty under the weather but toughed out dinner and Vespers. She just has to stop associating with all of those cootie ridden sick people! :s

Lovely weather out there tonight. I’m so not an ice fan (the slippery stuff or the drug). I would so prefer a lot of snow over a wee bit of ice.

Hope all are well

1, S1

I was there. (But you probably figured that.) :)

The first thing my friend said was that it was barely decorated. I'd never been before, so it looked pretty to me! I think my favorite parts were any time the handbell choir played, and also the last soloist in Stille Nacht. Gorgeous! Now I really, really want to join a choir again. 8-|

Hope everyone's enjoying their delays and/or perilous commutes. Rt. 9 was NOT pretty at 7am. (n)

I'm going to do my very best not to gloat or mince too much, but you should know i've left our godforsaken ice-encrusted town and i'm currently sipping a sparkling water poolside in 76F <---gloat/mince/gloat> and contemplating how i might crash what looks to be a seriously shi-shi-posh private party being set up on the beach.

and there are queers everywhere i look.

the spf, that is! sheesh. dontcha know i'm a (a)?

anyhoo--i love the toddy myself, in fact, i am enjoying one *this minute* with my favorite maker's mark, honey, and almond tea.

(c) toddies make colds and flu quite bearable--pleasant, even.

nothing like a nice, old fashioned homecure. chicken soup daytime, toddy at bedtime.
i once had a colleague who referred to histussin hc (cough syrup with vicodin in it) as the nectar of the god's. to which i replied, only cuz you're sober. if you weren't, you be swearing by the toddies. a nice virgin substitute is lots of fresh lemon, oodles of honey, and water, like hot lemonade. (in fact, honey is better than most over the counter cold medicines. save your money. now that's sweet.)

isn't the light snow marvelous tonight? all sparkley and gorgeous?
speaking of which, LadyC, come home!

have a fantastic trip to FL, MF!!

essentially, toddy equals hot booze.(c)

if you like that sort of thing, put a bit (a teeny taste, a splash, a shot, whatev) in a hot beverage, generally tea.

my mom made them with hot ginger ale and blackberry brandy.

I like lemon-ginger or almond tea with a lot of honey and (plain) brandy, bourbon, or irish whisky.

some folks like rum.

whatev.

cheers and nightnight. (ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ) mox

I have been schooled by a couple of femmes and now know that HK= Hello Kitty. I've also been taught that joking around about HK can get a butch into serious hot water.

I don't understand the phenomenon that is Hello Kitty, but I respect its power.

Oh, you don't really owe me any apologies. The Kitty tends to arouse strong opinions in people, LOL. I will admit I probably wouldn't spend the money on a diamond-encrusted Hello Kitty, but I might feel differently if I were rich and had millions just burning a hole in my pocket. Besides, I really think pink plastic shows HK at her best. :o

You have learned well, grasshopper. (x)

I've noticed that even the most kitty-hating butches usually refrain from making fun of Hello Kitty when I am wearing a glittery fake tattoo on my cleavage. 8-)

that's because the power of the cleavage is even more powerful than the power of HK to a butch. Cleavage revealed trumps anything else as far as I'm concerned. I've been known to be mesmerized by it.

lol I think the name "hot buttered rum" probably sounds better than the actual drink. I'm not much of a drinker, but I think I'll give it a shot (pun intended) one of these days and make some hot buttered rum. I found couple of recipes online that look good.

my parking lot was sheer ice of the type you could ice skate on, i couldn't even get a foot hold (despite being in un-cute boots) my wool trousers are soaking wet from leaning against my car while trying to chip ice away ......precious little makes me more irritable than wet wool...and now i'm cold & damp & itchy. 8o| 8o| 8o|

i must now call my expensive mechanic to talk about the fixing of the heat/defrost function on my car :$

I am with you Lady C S!! I love snow and winter but I detest ice!!!!! After all, how Sophisticated does it look when one is slipping and sliding and contorting to stay up right! Not to mention falling on ones back side! 8o|. Plus, I do think that I have turned into my mother when walking on ice taking those tiny I-know-I-am-going-to-fall steps!! Ooo I hate that!

The Irish coffee, like the company, was divine! We should do it again soon.

Ms.Sparkle,
If I may be so presumptuous...
If you find it convenient to do so, cover your windsheild (or windsheilds) prior to snow or "wintry mix". And old over-sized or beach towel should work perfectly. Make sure to either cover the wipers, or lift them into their upright/vertical positions. Or you can lift them vertically, lay down your towel/tarp and then place the wipers on top of the towel to keep it (hopefully) from blowing about.
When you need to scrape thick ice from a windshield or any glass, take the sharp edge of your hard plastic scraper in both hands and CUT through the ice, like a knife, in a rough grid. THEN begin scraping with the scraper (wide) side. The small pieces should scrape easily once you have made the cut.
What is wrong with your defrost? Is it the rear window defrost or the front/blower heating element itself?
Best to you. And remember: only 3 more months of winter! We got a late start this year...
Oh, also: If you obtain a 25lb bag of sand from a hardware or home supply store and leave it opened with a coffee can in it on your porch/foyer. When you leave the house in icy conditions, take a can full of sand and sprinkle it ahead of you as you walk to your car to increase traction- you can keep some in your car too. Good luck!

Warning naturalist/environmentalist sometimes interpreted as curmudgeon ahead! Lol

Well, honestly, I am not a fan of the remote car starter because I think it is just another unnecessary gadget of convenience that removes us even further from experiencing real life. I am not a fan of freezing to death, but a little cold never really hurt anybody, it is just a bit uncomfortable, such is life. Being able to go from a warm house to a warm car just isn’t worth the money, technology, idle time CO2 spewing price you pay.

I guess I am not a fan of most things if they are simply for convenience sake. I am a clean your own house vs hired help, shovel the snow vs snow blower, push mower vs ride on, gas or electric mower. I really hate the heat but I am still not a fan of air conditioners and if I have to get a little cold while getting to my car and scraping it off and heating it up, oh well, it is winter after all. My own personal viewpoint is I’d rather experience it all than get all soft and spoiled possibly at the expense of others or the environment.

I think being continuously and overly comfortable is often not at all what is cracked up to be. It is just not what I aspire to be.

no?

blavatsky, thanks for the tips...i think my experience would be better were i to replace the motor-blower that keeps my heat/cool/defrost from working. but i definitely will use your slice and scrape strategy in the future. i was quite certain i was on the verge of bashing my windscreen to pieces this morning...i also have an extreme height disadvantage....

alas, i called my mechanic today about replacing the long overdue defunct motor blower. so perhaps i shall have both heat and defrost soon.

also, i detest winter. stupid winter. meh.

S1--you're kidding! i crave one on a daily basis this time of year. i had no idea. the things you learn about someone...online no less. (f)

blav--great towel idea--i hate those accordian things that people use--they seem so awkward to me. (right. and the slip-sliding-swearing of ice scraping is NOT awkward?)
i might just try it.

chance-- friend of mine went RUNNING in the ice in those spiky things yesterday! now those i need to buy. (or get. hint. falalalalala. *someone* says one must not buy anything for oneself this time of year. i wonder if they color coordinate with a remote starter?)

i am so shameless this morning. hee.

in other news, I have had buttered rum, and I do not like it. i do like the lifesavers, though. also, i like eggnog. i did not have a snow day. i did ok in the lot. i love my abs awd subaru in the ice and snow. and i took care a a kazillion people with ice-falling injuries. stoopid campus could have at least sanded and salted. harrumph.

dear steve lewis, if i plug your dealership and the buru, can i please get a free car?

happy tuesday.

dear S1-

please explain to me any remaining argument you might have regarding the remote car starter issue. i just do not see it. since i am garageless, i'll gladly take this particular convenience. besides, with the remote, the car stays locked, thus diminishing the risk of hooligans lurking about to steal my running buru while i am applying my mascara and donning my cotton socks, multitasking as always.
yes. perhaps. this may well be *that thing* :o

LOL No, no I'm not kidding.I think, if I had to choose, I would rather get up two hours earlier than I need to, go start the darn car for you and go back to bed, than purchase a remote car starter for ya babe.

LOL no good Lady, I had no idea your were a Merrymaid! Were you merry when you were thus employed?

What does it matter for me personally? Well, quite simply, it’s my stuff, its my responsibility. Yes the energy out put is quite the same no matter who does it, but I’d rather it was my energy attending to my own things. That part is, I suppose, more about my own personal view on the inherent value of caring for my own things myself than it is “environmental.”

I too used to do other peoples work for them as well. I used to landscape for people who owned large fabulous yards. While they simply had to have the property, they would never dream of personally caring for it, they were after all above that. They were too important, too busy, too interested in other things. Yet they HAD to have a large fabulous yard. It is like “I simply must have it…but I also must have someone else to take care of it all.” ^o) Personally I think if ones yard it too big for them to care for themselves, (barring injury or other physical impairments) ones yard is too big.

Anyway, blah, blah….

As for your chariot, tis true, it is far more energy efficient when it is running properly. Perhaps it is time for a little red Mini Cooper with an excellent defroster and oh I dunno maybe a MC boi to wash your car, do regular maintenence, scrape the ice and snow from your windscreen and warm up your ride on cold winter days. They may come with car, rather like the trunk monkey --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkZcG_pgp0Q

I saw half dozen ambulances on rt 9 when I was out there....

Apparently there was an 11-car pile up on 91S. Which is why the on-ramps were backed up - which is why the bridge was backed up - which is why rt 9 was backed up 10-miles east into Amherst....

King St is still bumper to bumper.

That and the brilliant folks who decided to wait to close things down & then did it all at once - unleashing 1000s of cars in all directions at one time. The collective intelligence of our oh-so-academic-community sometimes astounds me.

I do believe msmox is this side of the river. :)

...and the snow is still falling....

Morning Noho (nearly afternoon....but who is counting...)

I hope everyone was safe and sound the other day and is preparing for Round Two!
This storm looks a bit more of a misery with snow being followed by sleet and freezing rain. :| (au) (um)

I'm off to see if I can fix my wiper fluid resevoir, and to find one of those tarp thingys for my windscreen (the old towel idea doesn't fill me with confidence, i have a vision of terry cloth superglued to glass under 3in of ice). Also I clearly need one of those scraper thingy-s that has a retractable handle - as my height is proving to be a disadvantage in ice removal pursuits.

And then I'm off to navigate the crowds downtown ~ in an attempt to finish (or nearly finish) ~ my holiday shopping. **sigh**
Text me or flag me down ~ for a coffee/cocoa stop, if you're in town later.

Anyone have a clue where I might find 'cool' (read: 'teenage boy cool') ski apparel?

[Sophisticated1]

Hope everyone survived the first real snow. While the remote car starter wasn't needed, I did play the part of remote shoveler, scraper and auto relocator for plow access, handy-boi at 6AM though.

YES. Now comes the nasty part. I hate sleet and rain! The mox has to work Sunday and is not looking forward to that commute!

Be safe

I just finished laying in supplies for round #2. The plows came down our street for a second time this morning and we finally have some suitable parking spaces. I am SO over parking bans and getting plowed in. Took me an hour to dig my car out yesterday to move it ten feet down the road. That makes me cranky. I need a snow boi.

good gracious. after a few days away from the site i see we've all been kvetching about the weather. (and catching up on my former wife, the lovely jodie foster. *sigh* but she is happy with her other love, and i with mine, so i've let that dream go and we've parted amicably. i do miss kit and charles, but the boys are loved by all three of their moms, the lucky fellows.)

allow me to join the conversation. (ahem)

i've spent the last 24 hours strategizing how to get to work tomorrow and each time i've come up with a plan the damn report changes.

however, i am so very pleased to report that my remote starter/scraper does double time as a tarp and sand bag supplier. make sure when you place your ad in the advocate you specify you need a boi who's willing to get dirty on top of the roof as well as the windshield, and in the backseat of your car, ladies, mkay?

(a)worked for me.

in other news, we too saw a kazillion ice and snow related injuries and continue to do so. YEESH. that combined with the last hurrah weekend between the end of classes and finals, the umass campus is truly um, nutty. and the xray dept closed early just when all the hobbling wounded and fractured were advancing on us in droves. umm...where were these folks gonna go--cooley? how were they supposed to get there?! ARGH.

(thinking8-)) perhaps the ad in the advocate can specify ability to take on ( that is, overtake) the campus plowing and sanding, for extra special *credits* since the physical plant surely is doing a wretched job of it. :@8o|:@ not only do they make us pay to park, they don't care properly for the lots and walks, and we have to walk FOREVER to get to our respective buildings.

(wow. i feel so much better now.)

pssst--i learned this the hard way--square envelopes require extra postage. if you are mailing bushels of cards out, um, i hope you already know this. i keep thinking i am so popular when i see cards in my mailbox...until i realize they are the ones i sent, returned for additional postage.

hahahahahahaha. sometimes, ya gotta.

miss robin--so nice to see you back. hope the poodles have thawed out and are happy!!

sweets, do you need to get yerseff one of them thar amuricin cars, you know, a ford, so the boys in the autoshop can get it right?

my commute was actually quite fun. it was beautiful and so silent! no one was on the roads at 645, (not even a plow!) and i blazed a trail all the way with no difficulties at all. my tarp and sand boi did quite the job of supplying me with stuff and so i tarped up the buru last night and voila, no scraping at 630 am! my life has changed. i will never go tarpless again. *sigh* i adore that boi. *swoon*

anticipating that half the staff would not be able to get in or out and some of us would be stranded for the day/night, i prepared for armageddon. i had a sleep roll, blankets, an overnight bag with a change of clothes, cheese and crackers, and a mass of chili i had made the other day complete with tortilla avacado and cheese....and made a reservation at the campus center hotel. someone else could sleep on the floor. not me! hee hee.

the shine wears off quite quickly, luckily for me, this time my most versatile boi took care of most of the work for me.

My condo group uses some guy named ROCKY.

Say, MF, do you have the number for terminex? Rocky can't seem to figure out how to keep the mice outta my walls. Those little creatures sure do know how to ruckus.
Maybe if the butches from terminex are so scary, the mice will go "OMG. She said ooga booga! " and panic and run for the hills.

Maybe we could get one of them to relocate, stay on your couch or your backseat and double as plowshovelsandscrapeboi?

my mother's gift will not make it in time - due to general warehouse & customer service fuckwittery at Ann Taylor. 8o|

still awaiting 3 more packages today. sigh. ...for all my unsuccessful buy local attempts i am still at the will of the navigational skills of dhl/ups. :s


i have a gazillion and one things still on my to-do list, to be done after work & before bedtime tonight...:|

i'm sick to death of the holiday traffic. and there is so much more to come. 8o|

AND i have a long stretch of no-sleeping-in in-sight, in front of me....

Oh and mox, you'll appreciate this...the barely 20-something downstairs had a raging party last night. it reminded me of the raging party M. had in the same apartment a couple of years ago, just a week or so before i moved in.

i felt O.L.D. laying in my bed listening to the drunken chaos and cursing them. :|

i may have ~temporarily~ lost my holiday cheer.

Lord knows, we can not have mice living in your walls. Damn Rocky.

ps. I'd like to put my order in for an exterminator/snowboi too.
I will gladly pay for expedited shipping. or perhaps we can timeshare?

I am sure he was sad. It was so long ago that I don't even really remember my cousin's reaction, just that it happened.

How did your mom enjoy her picture of cashmere? :s Damn those folks at Ann Taylor.

MF--can't wait to hear more gran stories! hee.

Christmas Eve my mom, Gram, and I were sitting on the couch visiting. My grandmother turns to us and says "There's a man in a red suit outside the house." My mom and I just exchanged a look like "Yep, she's gonna need to be commited soon." We were giggling because she says some crazy stuff sometimes. But she got all angry and INSISTED my Dad go outside because there was a man in a red suit on our front porch. Turns out, it was a DHL delivery guy in a red shirt delivering a late package. We thought the poor woman was having delusional visions of Santa Claus! LOL

Hello snowy noho! Happy New Year :)

[msmoxie]

HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!
may we all live long and prosper with more glee and less glum.

and especially to you cicibird, as you are the last poster--though i've never seen you glum! i chose the word for the alliteration effect, you know. :)

we must all be busy or have frozen fingers since all is quite on the noho front.

S and i just returned from a wee getaway to the frozen tundra of VT, where we enjoyed escaping the subfreezing temperatures in our divine personal castle...and ventured into fr-fr-fr-fr-freezing and sweet little towns such as D'OH! Springfield, VT, home of the giant donut holding homer hand and the Simpson's movie.

too damn cold to actually break out the snowshoes.
YES--it's true, layers are good.

alas, it's time to ring in the new year by returning to work and the old grind.
auld lang syne and all that jazz.

HEE. I can't think of that song without thinking of when harry met sally. "all my life i've never known what that song is about. should we remember that we forgot them, or foget that we remembered them? i don't get it." and of course, the recently departed dan fogelberg. oh dear. should i ever meet my old lover in the grocery store, i'll be sure to cry now, for sure!

Cicibird great weather huh? :) I was a little freezing butch up in VT and it was wonderfully fun! I love bundling up in warm clothes, venturing out, getting shivery and coming in to toasty warm beverages!

Oh well holidays over. The grindstone beckons. Off to de-decorate the abode. Happy New Year to all!

I'm a big fan of the ever-so-slightly opaque wink*wink-nudge*nudge innuendo, dontyaknow! :D

A fire, some hot apple cider and rousing hand (or a zillion) of Apples to Apples sounds like a brilliant winters' eve agenda to me!!!!
A-to-A *may be* my new favourite game!!!!

[musicfemme]

*also chiming in*

Happy New Year, Noho-ites!

I played Apples to Apples for the first time recently and thought it was fabulous as well. We really should have a Winter Hot Beverage and Game Night.

[JayCee]

Hello all! Just wanted to chime in that I am a NOHO-ite as well. Freezing along with the rest of you!

[Sophisticated1]

I have never heard of nor played Apples to Apples. 8-) Im wondering if the mox would even allow it... She gets so touchy when it comes to me having anything to do with apples... ever since that exciting visit to the ER for that little ol allergic reaction to apple cider I had last Thanksgiving...

I think if it is apple free apples to apples I might be able to play lol!

I think a winter hot beverage and game night is a capital idea.

1,S1

[musicfemme]

Is capital a good thing? LOL

As far as I know Apples to Apples doesn't involve any actual apples. And really you ending up dead would just ruin the fun of a game and hot beverage night, so we will be careful.

Ok, so who's a good party planner? <:o)

[Sophisticated1]

Oh good. Your'e right after all, I would hate to put a damper on the evening for everyone else lol.

[Sophisticated1]

Ya.... thats me ... always thinking of others. Plus, at the moment, I have no idea what one actually wears to their own dieing ... it really brings home the expression "Oh! I wouldnt be caught dead in that!" So, as I have nothing appropriate for such an occasion, I am entirely glad that it is an apple free event, for you miss musicfemme, and my ego as well.

the old lady dance at divas time is upon us once again?

and soon comes the WF For the Love event.

i must get out the shoes of death...er...or not.

surely it would be difficult to hustle in those, or if dead.

i'll wear a dress to the dance, and my birthday suit to my death. i mean really. my dad always said, you came in it, you leave in it....of course, he only said that when i was threatening to run away.

oh dear, i might not want to hustle naked in death shoes.

what ever shall i wear? 8-)

I am mastering (mistressing?) the dance, which has proven not to be the death of me after all....but the heels well may be.

Good Morning Everyone,

I was browsing through the thread topics and saw this one. I used to live in Arlington Heights and Franklin, MA in 1999. I miss living up there and coincidentally, my boss is from Boston to. So her and I put on our Pats gear when they are playing and have fun rooting for them.

Have a good day,

[miss robin]

Hi Funlunvin'! The Old Lesbian Dances are so underattended. There's also this kind of low energy in the room and everyone moves slowly or stands in one place and doesn't budge. I don't know if I can handle it again though I love to dance and especially early in the evening (though most of my early evening dancing is in my kitchen while Chef Bone cooks).

Where is the WtF dance this year? I liked the Hotel last year for convenience but it was really packed! Maybe packed is good. It needed a bigger dance floor though.

MsMoxie, you have some practically impractical shoes that I like. They're sort of like tap dancing shoes with a strap across the top and a low curvaceous heel. Am I imagining these?

Miss Robin

[Sophisticated1]

I am all for bigger dance floors! Whatever happened to actual ballroom sized dance floors? Dancing on a postage stamp, or half carpet have dance floor, while all of the "standers and talkers" have copious amounts of elbow room seems a bit backwards!

Sheesh, I mean, if you are going to call it a "dance" at least have a substantial dance floor. If it is going to be a big party with music, food and a small square upon which to gyrate rhythmically in one tiny spot... just call it a party or a social gathering (or, if you are like me, you can call it dancers hell)

so any ideas on fireplace finding for our game night?

...it looks as though I'll be attending the ForTheLove Event this year..the past two years I've been unable due to work/travel commitment...yay!!!..any excuse to buy a new pair of shoes (*and a dress to match, of course)! :)



**enjoy the balmy weather while it lasts**

[msmoxie]

umm--did i imagine what i made big?
oh. such irreverence.

she might serve me a tini of death otherwise.
and i must not leave my dear S1 quite so soon.
why, we've barely just begun our courtship.
and besides, i most certainly can not leave this world without a proper death outfit.

DIAB, surely you must have a bag bigger than a bread box...that would qualify as a mere tote. i expect you have at least a carry-on to stow safely in the overhead compartment.

looking forward to seeing you again.

For your same dress dilemma: The Brown Dress Project (http://www.littlebrowndress.com).

Why, yes, I do - but I prefer to travel through the world as lightly as possible. I once did a ten day trip throw three climates and a wedding in nothing more than a carry-on and a bag for my laptop. I'm a ruthless packer.

It'll be swell to see you too!

please, DIAB, please. teach me how to travel light!

Just a reminder that the 2008 NYC April Dance will be held the weekend of April 4-6, 2008 and tickets are being sold through the BFSNYC website. There is a link on my signature line if you are interested in more info! Hope to see you all there!

LOL LCS, that is exactly what I said! After all the right LBD is but a can a canvas waiting for the perfect accessories and shoes! The canvas is course the framework of the picture but the shoes can make or break the outfit. ;)

All this talk of appropriate couture for the evening and I am now myself pondering what to wear. I remember the first few events seemed much more formal (um.. well, formal-esque anyway) then they have seemed in recent years. Something about wearing a tux to an event while others dash about in khakis and the quintessential ‘lesbian vest’ that in a small, way takes some of the fun out of it for me. :( (w)

LOL but really, clothing aside, if I had my druthers, I would settle for a huge dance floor, and the ability to enter the event without being greeted by a drum line pounding and banging away. The first time that happened I thought I had made a mistake in my directions and arrived instead at a Holly Near concert! :|

However as I see the list of certain attendees growing I am becoming convinced that the evening will be a fun party! :D:D Still, I am not breaking out any of the tuxes this time around. I suppose a simple black suit will do. It is the butch equivalent to the LBD. Accessorized with the all new shirt, tie, and cufflinks I suppose it’s a new outfit.

I just received an e-mail from my lesbian book club that there is a Ferron concert in VT this coming Saturday. If anyone is interested in the details, I can post them here or send a PM.

The location of the show is Hartland, VT, which is about an hour N of Brattleboro, so maybe 2 hours from the Noho area. I have no information about any MA shows, but can provide the e-mail of the VT organizer and she may know of any other dates planned in the area.

I'm not even sure what kind of music she plays, but I know there are several musicians that post in this thread and thought it might be of interest.

Are you and Bruno up for a trip south on the 9th Feb? Come down for the Women's Fund 'For The Love' Fundraiser? http://www.womensfund.net/newsevents.html

[guitarboi]

I am a huge fan of Ferron's work and have had the honor of co-billing and opening for her a couple of times. I highly recommend you see her if you have the opportunity. Unfortunately I can not attend this Saturday.

Best to you and Bruno

I just received an e-mail from my lesbian book club that there is a Ferron concert in VT this coming Saturday. If anyone is interested in the details, I can post them here or send a PM.

The location of the show is Hartland, VT, which is about an hour N of Brattleboro, so maybe 2 hours from the Noho area. I have no information about any MA shows, but can provide the e-mail of the VT organizer and she may know of any other dates planned in the area.

I'm not even sure what kind of music she plays, but I know there are several musicians that post in this thread and thought it might be of interest.

Hi MissSnow! What I like even more about Ferron than her music is that she is a terrific performer. She is so funny (totally rare among lesbian folk singers) and has a gift for mixing song with commentary about all sorts of things. Part Vegas Lounge Act; part Lesbian Folk Singer.

And yes to what LadyC said -- come to the Women's Fund dance.

Miss Robin

[msmoxie]

Cheryl Wheeler and her crusty crankiness cracks me up every time.

I am eager to go through my shoes now!

How many more LBD meanings can we suss out? I soooooo prefer the Little Black Dress to Lesbian Bed Death. Particularly because LBD1 comes in so many more options than LBD2. (shudder. I mean really. don't we all need some variety?)

Miss Robin--LOL. your bed does not identify as a dead lesbian.
So, how does it identify?

mine is queerfemme and adverse to sharing TMI.

did we just start a poll?

Drvn and Bruno--see you at the gay-la!!

xx mox

WHAT praytell, is the ultimate accessory??

Please share with the rest of the group or I might be tempted to drum you.

I want us all to sit together at a table at the WF gay-la and be announced as we sit.

Now, who will be the announcer? Shall we have one, who also is a chair-puller-outer, or shall we announce and seat one another?

LOL! Ah, grand so!

(....ya.... drummed in.... :s....)

So, here is another for you:

As long as the announcer doesn't sound like a ring announcer. That would be bad:

"And in this chairrrrrr........ wearing an LBD with Prada clutch and shoes ...... weighing in at nobodys f*cking businessssss......frommmmm Northampton Mass-a-chu-settssssssss ....MS "nurse of the thread and around nice gir" MOXIEEEEEEE!

:| Ya... ^o) funny, but bad. LOL I keep hearing bugs bunny in the boxing ring announcing "Da Crush-ahhhh!"

1, S1.... (8-) though I do want a boxing or werestling name just for the fun of it. 1, the something, S1...)

What is the accessory? is it FRAGRANCE??

Oh, my darling. You sooooooooo opened yourself up to being named....
I can't wait to see what glib names the thread might come up with...particularly our most clever and resourceful Milady and Miss!

your most adoring and irrevent mox

[msmoxie]

the lovely musicfemme in that list of clever femmes (besides myself and others, too)
who might be eager to come up with your wrestler name, though i do think i might know your (ahem) skills more intimately.

on another note--I FOUND A LBD TO WEAR!

yay.

Hello back at you all! I skimmed that there was a dance in Feb and for some reason keep calling it the what-the-f@#% dance (in my head) because I thought it was abbreviated as WTF, right?

Anyways, will scroll back to see if there's a linky or something for more details. It would be fun to dress up!

Enjoy the warm weather while it lasts...Bruno and I are doing pagan dances under the moonlight to bring back the snow. (6)

Oh that would have been me on my bad behavior calling the WF (Women's Fund) dance the WtF dance. (a)Lady C posted the info a few skips back. It's Feb 9th at the Clarion Hotel in Noho.

I'd like to see you and Bruno do those pagan dances! I'm a pagan kitchen dancer.

[Stone_to_bone]

Hi all

So what's been happening on here? Aren't we way overdue for one of those martini things where us butches end up coming by after you femmes have had sufficient time to gossip? ;) What night works for you all? {{{S1, mox, Lady S}}} (I'm no good at arranging these things).

Anyway, the real reason for my post, aside from saying hello, s the welcome a young butch who's new to the site. theGraduate, are you around yet? When you make it here you'll find this is a great group of folks.

[JayCee]

I'm down with a martini night! Anyone interested in a gathering at the Tunnel???

[Sophisticated1]

Hey Mr. Bone

I think of you every day that I drive but the brand new RC building. Love the red. Seems there will be plenty of room for your stuff huh..

I am terrible at planning these little gatherings too, but that does not at all mean that I am adverse to them! :D

S1

[musicfemme]

I was just saying last weekend that we were way overdue for some sort of martini gathering. It's been a year or more since I have seen some of you and that is just ridiculous. Let's do it! My evenings are pretty damn flexible at this point, so who are our difficult people we need to work around?

I have never been to the WtF dance, but with so many of you fabulous people going I would consider it this year. If someone would just remind me when it is so I don't have to go searching back through the thread. *hint* *hint* *hint*

My alive bed identifies as Queer Femme and absolutely loves TMI.

I so far have nothing brilliant in the way of a wrestling name for S1, but I am working on it.

Yeah musicfemme. Last time I saw you was back in…. hummmm …19… wait, no no it wasn’t quite that long ago…

Oh! I can’t wait for the naming! Lol

Well if you have never been to the WtF aka Women’s Fund “For the Love of Women” dance you should go. It is on Feb 9 @ the Clarion Hotel in Northampton. It is $40.00
(I would give ‘em 45 if the promised no drummers! Lol)

[Lady C Sparkle]

Fast&FrenzyToed (SophisticatedOne) ???

musicfemme, I too have been struggling with 1,S1's boxing announcer name...........

my glibness escapes me....(sometimes)

In other news, I've had a day filled with fuckwittery! Hooorah. and Quell Suprise!

This morning...
I was personally immersed in a far-reaching-funk of electrical failure..
ya know...one of those mornings when everything you touch turns to utter shite....

My car wouldn't start! Hello click*click*click*click! What IS that about...
Simultaneously my cell decided to put me on permanent MUTE!!! ARGGGGGGG!!!!

:| 8o| :| 8o| :| 8o| :| 8o| :|

thank the goddesses for diesel femme diva, who came to my rescue, tripleA card in hand...(random fact/did you know: in the UK tripleA is called AA!) (..the irony..)

I was jumped (not in a good way) & told it was likely my battery... the AAA man said..."uh...........(*blows off 10years of dust from battery*) how old IS this battery?"
Me: "uh.............. no clue. why? how old should it be?"

Luckily for moi, it appeared said battery death was the worst of my troubles...(today)

Soooooooooooooo after being jumped and then stalling the car and promptly losing the charge (AGAIN) - diesel femme diva managed to jump me again (this was a better jump)... though i feared for her life!!!

we then proceeded directly to autozone and bought me a new battery! Yay!

AND then began the fun experience of trying to peddle my battery and non-stopping/won't-stall-it-again-but-i-only-have-a-1/4-tank-of-petrol-audi at various fuckwittery-shops around town....

Ernies: "no! i wouldn't take hamburger meat to mcdonalds and ask them to cook it for me, now would i?" Midas: "no" Firestone: "no" Pro-lube: "NO!"

Have expensive new battery, will travel.

I had to resort to Femme-in-Distress (+ name-dropping + tearful look) at Brake King.
And et voila (even sans lippy and cleavage) I managed to find a nice boy who agreed to install my battery. (and change my oil, thankyouverymuch!)

so fellow Northamptonites ~ I will resolutely (sans reservation) recommend Rio's Brake King on Pleasant St.!!!!! Bless their cotton socks.

I also managed to get my phone working in the interim after a factory reset. Hail-A-fucking-ooo-yah!

8o|

[Lady C Sparkle]

addendum::::

re: a martiini gathering.

name the date, and i will try to be there.

one word of note: the tunnel bar, though a personal fave, is no good for groups of more than 4! they don't allow you to reconfigure their seating - so its rather awkward trying to accommodate a large group. plus, smith shall be back in session soon making it more than normally sardined.

my suggestion would be a bishop's gathering.
good cocktails - more room - less jockeying for sociable space (and just cross the street).

musicfemme ~ the Women's Fund dance is Sat. Feb 9th.
I've still not found a dress, we could co-shop! :)

Hi JayCee. Do we know one another? If not, it'll be nice to meet a new Northamptonite.

So who is really up for martini night? I can do it anytime next week except Monday.

Miss Robin, are you referring to the good-looking butch who smiled at my mother when she came to visit?

I really struggle with wit on demand. I still got nothing. Maybe it will come to me in a dream. One cannot rush a good naming, after all.

You bought me that coke two prides ago. It's definitely been a while. :|

Good point about the Tunnel. (y) I seem to recall being reprimanded for chair moving last time we were there. :o

I will most likely be recycling a dress for the dance. BUT, would be happy to be a shopping partner if you need one! And I could always use new accessories and shoes and...


So who is really up for martini night? I can do it anytime next week except Monday.

I am totally serious about a martini night! (d) What do folks think about next Wednesday or Thursday?

[Stone_to_bone]

Miss Can-smell-a-butch-a-mile-away, the butch you saw was a while ago. He is now an FTM named (still) Rio. And he's at Brake King. I've introduced you to him a few times.

I could do Weds or Thurs for martinis or are us butches playing pool and meeting up with you later? Either way's ok for me. I agree about the Tunnel--too crowded.

Goodness, me it's been a while!

Lady C--OMG. I love reading of your adventures with DFD. Yay for the P'OP!
Glad the car is better. YAY! And gladder still, the fuckwittery with all things electric is resolved. My buru up and died last week and I had a very unpleasant AAA boy (with a Y) come and jump it. I almost had him tow it, too, just cuz he was such a jerk...I wanted to inconvenience him! I still have no idea of what happened.

I am rebelling against the little voices in my head telling me to get offline and go vaccuum....

How did I miss all that tini talk? Am I too late? Did it happen?

I did share a lovely few hours Fri at the hotelnoho with some of us!
But a whole group of us must gather soon--perhaps again--as in, before the WTF.

I vote for hotel noho, where there is space to sit and we can actually HEAR one another as opposed to lots of other places about town. How about this Friday?

I found a dress--in my closet no less, yippee! Now I just have to find those shoes Miss Robin tells me I have. Maybe she should come over and find them for me.

:-* Miss Robin and msmoxie are in the closet together....I can hear it now:-*

Mr STB--I just love what you're doing in your new wing, by the way. Where will the other folks sit?

MsMox, it was great to see you and S1, and I'm glad you found your cell phone! You have shoes I love but I think the ones I mentioned are sexy grown-up maryjanes owned by Lady C. I need a trip into some closet. I don't know what the hell I'm going to wear to the WtF dance. I wore everything somewhere where you all saw me at some time in the not too distant past. god.

Who mentioned being able to have drinks on Wed or Thurs? Both Mister Bone and I can make it either of those nights. Shall we say Wed night?

I prefer Lady C's suggestion of Bishops (though, where is that again? Is that downstairs in the back of what used to be Mulino's across from the courthouse?) The hotel is a little staid and bright.


Or the ones at the Jiffy Lube? :-*


Miss Can-smell-a-butch-a-mile-away, the butch you saw was a while ago. He is now an FTM named (still) Rio. And he's at Brake King. I've introduced you to him a few times.


Uh, Mister Bone, excuse me, but Holliday remembers -- it's the Jiffy Lube butch on Rte 9 in Hadley. I don't remember Rio, though it's a good all-around Butch-to-Ftm name. Is Brake King the place with the bear on the logo? (Who knows from these places?)

Miss Robin

[Stone_to_bone]

Hi mox ;)

My social planner had it right--I am up for Weds (after 7:30) or Thurs. Who else can make it? theGrad?

Miss Robin

Ah, miss. I'm sure you're right. Although in my defense I will say one does sometimes require the use of a calculator to keep track of your wee crushes.

Bear? on the logo? Honey, that's a whole other kind of king....

STB

[msmoxie]

AHA! Now *those* are some shoes, and yes, they are the Lady's.

Wed is better than Thurs for me, and yes, the hotel is bright, isn't it? But that was a good tini that nice bartender boy (who could never find a break in the conversation)made!

Is there a bar in the nether regions of Wiggins at the hotel where the fireplace is, anyone, anyone?

Bishops used to be downstairs from where Mulino's used to be across from the Iron Horse, which has stayed put. (thank goodness, because I don't know the name of the street. I call it the horse street or the police street) Now Bishops is above from where Mulino's is now, which is in between Eastside and Pearl Street.

:s Or wait, is it what used to be Pearl Street?!

I went to Jiffy Lube on King St not too long ago....there were at least 3 women working in the pit. I didn't ask them how they ID, though. ;)

Just saw ATONEMENT. brilliant. an absolute mustsee. (and a mustfeedkeiraknightly)

Mox, off to rent a certain movie starring a younger man and a classy (?) broad.

yay! we're having tini's and costumes.
i can hardly wait.

i am sure it will be ok if you just wear sweatpants and a visor. no need to wear shorts and a sweat band. besides, these days, the younger players, at least, wear those super skinny they can't possibly be effective pseudo-sweatbands.
ahem. and by younger i mean the high school and college aged players.

c'mon, i once wore a football jersey...and learned to throw and catch the ball.

I might be going buck wild with the "late night crowd" because I'll be coming from ... uhmm ... this is sort of uncharacteristic of me :| ... a women's basketball game between Smith and Springfield Colleges. I'm writing an article about a coach who will be there and I feel I should smooze. I don't know the first thing about basketball or any spectator sport but I can assure you all that I will not show up for martinis wearing a sweat band and nylon basketball shorts. (n)

Geeze, now I'm thinking I should wear sneakers and bring my football.

[nhplowboi]

To the noho crew.......it was nice meeting you all last night, now I can put faces to names. STB your wax story was VERY funny. Hope I get a chance to see you all at another venue where I can stay longer and have my girlfriend with me. Regards from NH.....nhpb

[msmoxie]

the morning after...
that was fun last eve. it was really nice to put faces to names and lounge and chat and laugh a bit. my goodness, we DID stay out past 11! Although, I admit, I was nearing pumpkin-esque about 930-ish, per usual.....and then, LO! there appeared a disembodied hand from above delivery a can of moxie, and as quick as it appeared, it was gone, to return a bit later with a whole person attached, and a second wind.

those of you who did not make it were missed.
xx mox

[miss robin]

Plowboi, thank you for the candy!! It was very nice to chat with you. Come visit us again. The way these get-togethers work is someone says Let's Get Together on This or That Day and This or That Time and then we (meaning femmes usually ;)) pull it together from there. We can't do any of that lesbian whining: Where should we go? Can't go there, they're not scent-free. When? No, I have yoga and then have to have my EST rolfed.

And yes, MsMoxie, we stayed out so late! I liked that place. The fireplace was nice (thinking of Mister Bone's quip about the multiple pianos, fireplaces, and bars) and the bartendress was a sweetie.

Lady C, you were missed!

Miss Robin

[Lady C Sparkle]

It sounds like you all had a lovely time!!!
I'm sorry I missed out!
Besos! (l) :)


Did you say: fireplace???

Is this a possible locale for our apples2apples fest??? or would that be too rowdy for ol'hotel'noho???

[musicfemme]

It was great seeing all of you last night! :D

I will never for the rest of my life forget the disembodied hand with the can of moxie snaking by my head and then turning around to see NO ONE THERE. :o I think nhplowboi is very, very sneaky.

But, I did very much enjoy the candy cigarettes, the catching up, and the laughs.

I think if we snagged the chairs and sofa by the fireplace it would be perfect for a game of apples2apples. (y)

It was great to see you, Miss! I agree about Apples2Apples by the fire. That's a good spot. It's far enough away from diners and other drinkers. What a fun game! I first played it at Holliday's (hey, where were you and your beau last night??). Mister Bone brought it over the other night when both my kids were home. We played until everyone had to go to bed (well, me).

My daughter is back at college now and I just heard from her and our very own b/f.com member, Selenay, that they have a class together. When world's collide!

Miss Robin

[Sophisticated1]

I agree, last night was nice and I enjoyed the venue! Nice fireplace, friendly bartender, not crowded or loud... I approve :)

I didn't remember it was going on until around 11:30. Next time!

[nhplowboi]

Again.....nice meeting everyone and I'm glad you all turned out to be the "rowdy crowd", staying way past 10:00 PM. Sorry my stealth mode was so alarming but you all recovered nicely. I think the smokes helped settle mf's nerves. I'll keep watch for future events.

[Stone_to_bone]

Hi, all. What a fun night that was. And thanks to nhplowboi for coming from far away and listening to my rambling tales; it was nice to meet you.

LadyS, Holiday et al, where were you? I hope we can get together again soon. As I watch miss r vacuum, a terrible task, I am thinking that maritni night should happen at least as often as vacuuming does.

Cici, I hope you made it home ok and had a good day. It was nice to catch up.

STB

ps--miss r is concerned that I have suggested vacuuming happens infrequently but of course that's silly. Her house is spic and span.

(Well I'm quite sure that Mlle.s house is always shiny clean)

And I concur! All vacuuming should be rewarded by a well made martini!

I have been vacuuming on and off for the past week. And then some more... *sigh*
I bloody hate vacuuming.
I am now willing to sacrifice my latte-a-day habit in exchange for a miracle-person who dusts/vacuums & mops weekly.
My aversion & malice for vacuuming ~ have no bounds

Have a fabulous weekend, Noho! (*)

Pleasant St. Theatre re-opens this weekend! Wahey!!! (~)

I'm up for a game of A 2 A by the fire anytime!!!

[cicibird]

Miss Robin's house is indeed clean and shiny, and I did get home ok, thanks STB. It was nice to see familiar faces and meet lovely people as well. :-)

[musicfemme]

I think the smokes helped settle mf's nerves.

I fake smoke a couple of stallions and I calm right down. :o

[nhplowboi]

Should I bring a carton next time?

[ardentfemme]

Greetings to everyone & thanks to STB for the Martini call! Sorry I couldn't make it but try me again sometime (with a little advance notice perhaps?). Yes, I've been MIA from the thread but I have been going dancing & there seems to be a weak B-F presence on the dance floor! Miss dancing with Robin & hope to see folks soon.

You are too funny. I'm glad you sent me a note because otherwise I would have been racking my brain! I always tell everyone to come even if they haven't read the book because there's always discussions (philosophical, moral, etc.) that result from these stories we read and everyone can contribute to that.

This one was good turn-out and good discussion. Next month's book is The History of Love by Nicole Krauss. Any of the Noho crowd that would like to carpool to our little village book club is welcome. We have members from VT, NH and MA; or maybe someone should start one there? I would come whenever possible. I think it would be even more fun if there was a book club meet-up with martinis. :D

[MsCK]

GREETINGS!!! From everyone's favorite Chef!!

I have been traveling in Florida since the beginning of the year. A little RV with the fam. A cruise with friends, and some hot times in Key West...winter!! I love winter in Florida!
The weather is finally getting nice again. I am in St. Pete Beach... and I don't think that I want to leave for a while.
Does everyone remember (ip)(ip)(ip)? Look closely...Yeah, that's me on the lime green surf board with the big blue daisy that says... SURF DIVA!. So... while I am away maybe you all could think about me when you are playing games in front of the fireplace and sipping martinis. Please share a toast in memory/ honor of the new SURF DIVA of Northampton. HAHA!

Hope you are all doing well and keeping warm. If anyone wants more details... PM me.



Love to all....

i am all about starting a book club. i have a friend who wants to start one with me, and we've yet to get it going.

i am all about introspection and expansion at the start of every new year and so am thinking about living with intention (i hate canned terms, but it fits.) and have read "give it up" about one woman's giving up one "important" thing each month of the year and see how it impacts her, for better or worse. not so well written, but it did give me pause--which was my hope. now i am onto "this i believe" from the NPR folks. just reading the foreword blew my head up and made me cry a few times. i have a whole list of things to read. i can't wait. but what really sucks is that the older i get, the less i remember of what i read--i think it's because life is so hectic that i read in bed when i am already sleepy. i need to make more room for reading and thinking.

omg. maybe i need to replace threading with reading.:|

ok, i can do wed--but if your deadline is tues, wouldn't be oh so fantabulous to celebrate the end of it on tuesday night?! or maybe, you'll need tues eve to crawl under a rock and recuperate revive and replenish?

congrats in advance for meeting your deadline tomorrow.
now if you are reading this, you are procastinating.

so, everyone--wed? who's coming?

Drvnsnow--I don't think I'll make the drive up, but I was really moved by The History of Love. I'd be curious to hear what other folks think about it. My advice is start a family tree right off the bat.

Msmoxie, have you checked out the two (that I know of) "This I Believe" threads on here? I like seeing what folks on the b-f website "believe." Here's a link to the one I started: http://www.butch-femme.com/portal/forums/showthread.php?t=30463

thanks. i clicked, surfed, and subscribed. :)

Weather and time permitting I hope to make the trip, if only to find out what Apples2Apples is, or is that are?! Miss Robin was that a subliminal message for me to bring a tray of Ice Cubes?

[msmoxie]

someone please take my dell away.

a day off in which to do chores has turned me into a posting fool.

still, i've been productive. my living room looks like the ENRON headquarters because I've been shredding ten years (no lie) of stuff for days, and my home office is taking good shape, i am reorganizing my files in my new desk. but i am going stir crazy. i never got to the DPW with my shredded history and i must go to staples to get more organzing tools. OOOH. my adventure for the day.

(whine) why can't we have tini night noooo--owwww-oowwww?????

i am pulled to this damn site like a magnet.

out, damn site, out!

When you actually try to play a game it says they're working on making the site more efficient, but there is a lawsuit against them by Hasbro and Mattel so I'm thinking they had to put the site on hold until it's resolved. I'm really sad.

A tray of Ice Cubes! :D<:o)(h) One is fine. It took me awhile to eat that slippery chocolate thing.

It will be nice to see you again. I hope you can make it. Here are the details:

Booze, Babes, Butches, and Board Games

Book club? I like book clubs...

[drvnsnow]

Today I'm in MA but tomorrow I'm in northern VT so won't be able to join the fun (unless something changes). Keep me posted about the book club though! I'll keep up with whatever books you choose and if the meetings are during the week I think I could make it.

I belong to 2 book clubs in VT - one through the library that focuses on literary fiction and the lesbian book club that I recently started heading up which focuses on women writers only. I read a lot and I love book clubs.

Hi Bri

Sorry you can't make it tomorrow night. The History of Love is one of my all time fav novels. I read it on a plane headed to Europe.

So I'd love to have you and Bruno join us for one of this shindigs. Say hi to him.
