Dennis  thank you for the kind words sir X0    seems to me all those words( not infuring mountain men do)  men use to describe women-eg, mean, devious, hard hearted,money hungry, manipulative etc etc. would lead you to think they never met a real woman who is kind hearted, loving, caring, tolerant (and that covers alot of territory-strange things in freezers,stinky clothes and other things!,) and last but not least she learned from her mam and grandmam that the secret to a long lasting relationship is to let the man just think he wears the pants and makes all the right decisions!
hey guys and gals all kidding aside I really do enjoy the forums and all the loads of info and stories. just wish had more time to explore them all.  I know I tend to get log winded on these but is is so nice to just relax,  chrrs I get a lot of sage advice and stories working in  hospice but this is such a nice change and I do want you all to know how much I appreciate you,  bulldog lady

Ok, I voted for Come Outta Hiding.  But then again I wasn't (hiding that is)... bunkr

I think a women's section is a good thing.  Keeps us from cluttering up other areas with all that chatter about hoop skirts and petticoats (like I would be caught dead wearing such things).

I know this is kinda silly but I don't think of myself that way...I just go out and contribute what I know as a person and I agree with Bulldog Lady that we should be able to participate on the site as a whole. That being said, I know alot of women don't feel comfortable saying their piece "in front of" men.  I don't know if they are afraid that they will be incorrect and be embarrassed or what.  I, obviously, will speak my mind whether I am correct or not. hahah!  So, I am willing to try to set up the ladies thread and see how it goes.

You know the men will be reading it anyway.............ok so I'm changin my vote to "who the heck needs a seperate board".

Dryball

Come on Hon! If you fine ladies would all come out of the closet I can set it up so that the only ones who can read your posts are women. But I need to know who is female.

I think that would be a wise Idea! that way there should be no hesitation on the ladies to share their information...

Heather agree, If I want to speak my piece or make an arse out of my self- that's just the way I am,  I don't care about hoopskirts and such,  as was mentioned, we are in the minority but that doesn't mean we can't offer some good suggestions, and still apprecite some of the finer artistic things in life, fine linen, china and all those things that didn't exist in the mountains devel  Serious wish more ladies would comment, sometimes we have skills that make some of these mountain chores easier, wether it be cookin, sewin, or what ever else is is these men think is so secretive.  strpot  Bulldog Lady

Wish you wouldn't include me in that group Bulldog Lady...I know women are better at many things then men. We're supposed to compliment each others skills, not compete.

I don't care one way or the other about a women specific board, but I see no need at all for it to be set up so that it's hidden from the men.   What have we got to hide?  If you did that, you'd have to set up men specific boards too, and then what would I have left to read?  You don't have a men only board..... do you? 

Dryball

No Micky..we don't. The reason being men will talk there fool heads off, whereas women need encouragement to come forward and post anything, as if they are afraid of being noticed. I know you and some others aren't this way...but we have over 40 women on this forum..how many post?

heatherhistorian

Maybe they just don't get on here often...

Bulldog lady

If 'in you can't hold your own or run with the boys then stay on the front porch or however you want to put it!!  Guess overlooked it was for women only!!  Come on "gals" put on your big girl panties and learn and contribute to this great forum, don't need a special secret place!!!  Bulldog (maybe should just drop lady cause lordy know I ain't one at times).  Lets all learn and share and joke but first and foremost is to further and continue the skills the mountain men and women and muzzleloaders sos not to loose them to all these new fangled ideas and ways. and we see who survives in the end devel   Bulldog?
