*A man that can cook. A keeper
*A last Thursday birth. Don't worry. They are awake at 2am and think it may be a bad time to call. Things will straighten out and you will hear from them eventually when they get some sleep.
*Yes, yay you!
*I'm sure you can find something to do. (read LJ?)
*Yeah, schedule another one. BTW, can I join the MGA?
*Keep on singing, one way or another
*Well, my long term women's group is called the "Wives" People often think we are a female swingers group. But the "Wonderbras?" Were you at the naming meeting?
*There's allergies and there's sensitivities. Maybe you are sensitive (but not allergic) to certain cat dander. It is NO LESS ANNOYING AND UNCOMFORTABLE. Believe me.

The naming thing went out on email and the rest of them LOVED it. I kept my mouth shut. :)

You're a better person than I; I don't think I could have kept my mouth shut.

BTW, my garden club is named after the Dutch common name for Vinca minor - namely Maagden Palm or "Virgin's Palm". When I was in charge of organizing events I dreaded introducing myself on the telephone as "Garden Club Virgin's Palm"...

I don't think I would have kept my mouth shit. On the other hand, it is sort of hillariously campy.
The "Wives" sounds super tame and ultra conservative, until you know (which you already do) that it refers to wives of each other (long term commitment), not our respective states of marital bliss.
I agree with one of the other commenters. You gals need a theme song.

Oh, and I forgot to comment on that last bullet. The apology one.
*no apology nessasary. I love these sound bite posts, with a bit of newsy this and that and some hilarity, and even a little philosophy and reflection.

I think The Wonderbras was hysterical! Ha ha!

Those blood test allergy tests can vary in sensitivity so I've heard. Have you had a scratch test?

Not recently, but I've had more than one over the years, and I have ALWAYS been allergic to cats in them.

I think it also depends on exactly what you are allergic to in cats. It's like the bee sting tests test for a specific enzyme in the venom, however, people can be allergic to another component.

Thanks for the birthday wishes Liz :o) Maybe you're allergic to cats because you thought you were allergic to cats, the mind is a powerful thing. It'll be interesting to see how you react to the next cat you meet.

As far as choir goes, unless your friend became chairwoman on the condition that you would stay in the choir, you're under no obligation.

The friend with the new baby is probably just completely strapped for time. Do you have another friend in common with her who can confirm everything is fine?

I think there's a flaw with that allergy test.

The Wonderbras eh? I say someone needs to write a theme song for you guys. ;-)

Great, informative and fun entry!

Apart from a couple of modern parody songs, there appears to once have existed a true Wonderbra theme song played on the TV commercials up until the 1980's. I can't find a sound clip though.

Speaking of the unmentionables, yesterday I happened to stumble onto an online underwear store which has a sports bra called Superwoman bra. Maybe I'm naïve, but wouldn't Superwoman have powers enough to not need a bra, at least not for support? Or at least the suit/dress would have one built in. On the other hand, Superman's briefs (or are those hotpants?) are famous, but he wears them on the outside of his tights!
