Its a CULT!!!!!
What a great thread!!!!!! Yikes, I gave all my pads and tampons away, what will I bring to Denton?? I will start the search through old purses and pockets there must still be some hiding somewhere, ahhh the glove box in the car, ohhh the pockets in the backseat, a treasure trove. Now if my DH could just hurry home with the stash I have in his car I'll be set!!!!!
This is just the best cult!!! Who else but women could come together like this from all walks and backgrounds and have this one thread that makes us all sisters in a common bond and understanding??? Ohhhh those poor outsiders, they will never quite get it until they are the ladies in waiting for their trip to the castle!!!!
Long live the princesses, see ya in Denton, Marsha

Recruiting???
I knew there was a reason that I keep checking in on this board! (I'm 4 mo. post op now). GREAT ideas!
I always wondered what being in a cult was like! I should have known! Those middle of the night site visits --- those bills for extra internet hours from my internet provider.... It was the mind control and brain washing! I never gave the naked dances around the monitor a second thought! My DH just thought I'd gotten a little kinky!
Maybe that's why I've been trying to recruit new sisters lately! No wonder people were looking at me funny on the street corner last weekend in my Hystersisters coverup with house shoes and a pillow holding my sign "Having a period? Get a hysterectomy!" I didn't get any takers -- although 3 women screamed at me for blocking the left turn lane (they must have been premenstrual -- waiting for an extra light cycle wouldn't have hurt them any) -- I quickly stuck "Hystersister flyers" with the web address on their door handles as they drove by. Others just kept trying to give me money -- The cops were not amused -- If I'd only known I'd been brainwashed and absorbed by a cult, I'm sure they wouldn't have written me that ticket.
Any body having any success recruiting others for "the cause"? I keep looking for successful strategies. I'll happily share my flyer with anyone (tho' it hasn't worked yet--or maybe we have new recruits and we don't know it!!!)
Also, I think it's time for us to form a committee to counter the "de-programming efforts" that are sure to start rising up after Oprah gets ahold of this. And a public relations team to present our "real" reason-for-being to the public.
I'm in Austin and can be in Denton for the bonfire(or dinner) in just hours. Name the time and place, and I'll be there! I still have a bag of tampons and napkins in the trunk of my car -- waiting for drop-off at the women's shelter......Hummmm, the women's shelter.......maybe a source for converts......
Love you all!
Cheryl

Hi everyone, I am planning a bonfire in Indiana. If you Texas gals can let me know the the date of your fire, I'll plan mine for the same night. Just look east, that glow on the horizon will be me. No those aren't falling stars, those are my flaming tapon missiles.

Everytime I come back to visit this thread I end up rolling around with tears dripping down my face. THis is particularly embarassing if I *happen* to sneak a peek during class.
ANd then I imagine the bonfire scene here. We have the most wonderful longhorn cattle herd grazing in their ranch here at the entrance to Denton Texas. I imagine helicopters chopping overhead, news crews, bonfires blazing with missiles rocketing through the night air, just as NASA sends the space shuttle overhead. I might have to contact the longhorn ranch to move the herd to the back forty. They might cause a stampede.
Then, if you listen to the crowd, they are singing that song about the hysterectomy cult.
BTW, Oprah may not understand.
Shocking, isn't it?
I do think the medical community would gain much from a study. Perhaps the military might learn something too.

This IS Incredible!!!
Oh Yeah, if you doubt that the story is true.. Let me assure you that, that's not the only one I have in my Book of strange things.. Let me just try and remember some and I'll have you all in Hysterics.. Oh, BTW the most recent: The time Kaatie and I planned to meet for dinner, and there she is in the Lobby of Red Lobster, wearing a pair of Mickey Mouse Leopard ears, and I looked right past her, as if this was the most normal thing I'd ever seen. I also love practical jokes, and use them on my DH anytime I get the chance.. Like the time I waited for him to get into the BR, and just settle himself upon the Royal Throne, when I remembered that we had a blow horn, my FIL gave my kids, to play with... Well, anyway, I got the horn , opened the door, to find him engrossed in the Newspaper, and the fan was on, so he couldn't hear me coming, and I stuck the horn into the crack of the door, and let it blow.. Well, if you want to see something hysterical, he must have come off the seat about 3ft! Needless, to say he wasn't too happy, but I was LOL, the rest of the night.. Or how about this one... One night I got a squirt gun, and filled it with ICE COLD WATER, and got on the upper landing of the staircase, and kept ever so gently, squirting him, just a bit at a time, and he's looking up at the ceiling, trying to figure out how the Living Room ceiling could be dripping!!!! I HOWLED at that one.. I also love to mess up his eye glasses.. I'll take a stamper marker and stamp Lips all over the lenses, and wait til he puts them on.. Hope you enjoy these.. i've got so very many more... Stay Tuned. Roz.PS, Do ya think I missed my call as a Comedian?

Roz the Carjacker
I wish I would have been in the parking lot when you got in the wrong car!!! That's my favorite of your stories. Wonder if the owner saw this? You probably scared the person in the passenger seat to death.
You should have said, "So sorry, this is just part of what goes on in the hystersister cult. Wanna join?"

Why did we have so many hiding places for our tampons? I have found them everywhere! My husband moved my office a week after I had surgery and he got cracked up, he found them all in my desk, he cleaned my car - must have a car stash, I am embarassed to say how many I've located. I will need a U-Haul to bring them to the bonfire. Denton is a great place, can hardly wait to lead the TX Panhandle caravan. BUT I feel no one should be allowed to back up to the fire, safety first.
I sure wouldn't want to ride with Roz, after yesterdays ordeal. That was way too funny, and to tell on yourself is RICH. That poor little old woman, all you needed to do was to mention hormones and she would have to understand.
Power to the Cult

Maybe these bonfires will make Oprah take more notice,and that may just spark a new understanding of what exactly a woman goes through in every stage of the hyst.From just making the decision in the beginning, to the HRT and every thing, big and small, in between! All Northeast and New England ladies... ROLL CALL!
