It's that time of the
year for our annual Christmas party. Contact Merrilee and let
her know what you plan to bring for our dinner. Also bring a wrapped
$20 "personal" item for our "Exchange Game".
Charitable Donations
We decided at
the November meeting to give $100 to CASA (Ruth's contact) and
for us to bring to the December meeting items for that Haiti orphanage
that I e-mailed people about.
Here is a list:
Formula, baby bottles, nipples, bottle brushes, cloth diapers
in good repair, plastic baby/toddler spoons, plastics cups, sippy
cups, plastic plates, wooden spoons, large lighter weight pots
(shipping is expensive), small toys, school items for ages four
to fifteen (our teacher speaks English), pencils, pens, crayons,
educational coloring books, and things of the like. We have
many clothes already for this shipment, but will be shipping again
in January and April.
Try to bring what you
can and I will get it to the lady who does that charitable work.
Thank You! Randi
:-)
Saturday Coffee Clatches
Continue
Meet your Las Madres friends for some coffee and conversation
at the Starbuck's at White and Aborn on Saturday mornings at 9am.
Every third Saturday is a field trip. We'll decide at the Christmas
Party whether to have a field trip or not this month.
e-MAIL TIDBIT
WORDS WOMEN USE
FINE
This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right
and you need to shut up.
FIVE MINUTES
If she is getting dressed, this is half an hour.Five minutes is
only five minutes if you have just been given 5 more minutes to
watch the game before helping around the house.
NOTHING
This is the calm before the storm. This means "something"
and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with "Nothing"
usually end in "Fine".
GO AHEAD
This is a dare, not permission. Don't do it.
LOUD SIGH
This is not actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often
misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means she thinks
you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing
here and arguing with you
over "Nothing".
THAT'S OKAY
This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can
make to a man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to
think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay
for your mistake.
THANKS
A woman is thanking you. Do not question it or faint. Just say
you're welcome.
Send this to the men you know to warn them about future arguments they can avoid if they remember the terminology!
