Well sorry, I would have gone first and told Mr Yeti to get the f*** out of our way, and he would have listened because you DON'T mess with my Gemini Mars, but I was loaded down with all the camping gear.

Sorry, us Libra Marses, always plotting plotting plotting hahaha but it seems a beautiful friendship is possible here hehe

Too late, I think Sven dragged us here for the pleasure to fire us.

I seem to have loved you in numberless forms...

No, please wait a sec; please!!

I mentioned I was bringing a solar shower

like this one:

Dr. Bronners soap is great for cleaning just about everything (even camp pots and pans) and not harmful to the environment. My favorite scent is Almond.

Bathing can be done in rivers and lakes.

I actually have tiny shoulders

But I hauled my kids in Ergo Baby carriers for so long, this just feels like my calling, to piggyback people and things. Also I have broad hips.

Come to think of it my husband, who is strong with broad shoulders, tires easily when carrying the kids...I wonder if having a low center of gravity is better for hauling stuff, and that's why women have traditionally hauled the water and firewood (....didn't they?)

I once got thrown into the bay by my prankish, neanderthal boyfriend and the water was so cold I was temporarily paralyzed and feared drowning. This is where being thin just sucks.

"moose-killing skills"

I wouldn't go that far.

I sometimes forget that this place isn't all a bunch of females. I'm uncomfortable with a guy who is uncomfortable hearing about a womens menstrual periods.

Anyway, i'm tired now and i realized earlier that most people don't know me here anymore or my style of humor. I think it falls flat especially over the internet. I hope everything I said earlier was taken how it was supposed to be and people don't think i was being completely serious I was mainly trying to get a laugh.

I thought men love it when we talk about our periods. Anything that has to do with "down there"...they should be glad to hear about.
Right?

Yeah I think so.

And T, this thread got a little wonky because it's half jokey, half serious! Like if you actually could make weapons to kill something bigger than a squirrel, and we were starving...that would be epic!! Nothing funny about it!

It's just funny as a story that seems improbable and like a joke. But if it IS probable...then it switches over to amazing.

We'll just have to camp and see.
