Whoami | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 02:06 am     Wouldn't you know it, they have a website. Red Hat Society |
Tess | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 02:15 am     Cyn, I have no idea how they all got to know each other but I know they have fun no matter what they do. Who, that was an excellent find on their website. I didn't even think to look for one! |
Northstar | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 02:17 am     OMG there are 4 flippin' chapters in Anchorage (it's a small city). So maybe my friends and I were drinking cosmos with some Red Hat ladies. All I know for sure was that at one point in the evening, my friend Sue was wearing this big hat with a long feather sticking out of it. Too funny. |
Car54 | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 03:01 am     Get a copy of the book "When I Am An Old Woman, I Shall Wear Purple"....great poem...goes on to say...with a red hat.... They are based on that |
Bakerygirl | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 04:12 am     My mother in law is in the Red Hat's Society. I had lunch with her group once, but I didn't wear a red hat. I beleive its for women over 50, but there are younger women who wear purple hats. They also wear purple dress' with the red hat and usaully gloves and feathers are in there somewhere. They go to lunch, movies, have tea, and usually are in organization in their town. I thought it was something they made up, but guess not. They all seem a little wild and crazy, but atleast they have fun!! |
Squaredsc | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 06:23 am     ooh an aubergine group. i can get with that. |
Weenerlobo | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 06:32 am     lol Square! You sure are good at finding any mention of aubergine! A true Aubergiophile! |
Squaredsc | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 07:37 am     weenerlobo, its a sickness.  |
Moderator | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 07:47 am     This thread has undergone an identity modification. (The name was changed at the request of Whoami and others.) (22) |
Squaredsc | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 07:51 am     nice change in the title mod 22. could we have aubergine titles? lol. |
Wargod | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 07:59 am     I love these question threads. If you don't know the answer, then you learn something very interesting. I've never heard of the Red Hat Society, but they sound like a hoot. |
Squaredsc | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 08:07 am     thanks mod. you have rendered me speechless. |
Moderator | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 08:10 am     No offense, squaredsc, but I doubt that! Besides, it's not a bad idea anyway so people will notice the title was changed but still has the original 'theme'. (22) |
Webkitty | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 08:14 am     I have all sorts of dumb questions that were never asked. <be back later> (nice touch on the aubergine title mod 22! |
Squaredsc | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 08:15 am     yeah, but it sounded good  |
Sia | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 05:08 pm     There's a Red Hat Society chapter 10 miles away from me. Their requirements for membership are that members (women only) be 50 or over and cottage owners at the local vacation community. There's a photo in the newspaper from November (yeah, I just found that issue today while cleaning the house!) of about 15 ladies! Most look 65 or older. They wear purple clothes and red hats, and honorary members who are younger than fifty are made to wear lavender clothing and pink hats! They say they thrive on disorganization, do nothing for anybody, but do not discourage their members from supporting charitable causes. |
Abbynormal | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 05:13 pm     Wow! There are chapters all around me. I want to be a Red Hat lady when I grow up! |
Squaredsc | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 05:46 pm     they are all around me too, 12 of them. wow. |
Crazydog | Friday, January 10, 2003 - 02:21 pm     OK, I moved my question from the Ask a Question thread. Do any of you use the whirlpool at your healthclub/gym? I've often wondered how sanitary it is. On top of that, at my gym, the whirlpool is inside the men's locker room so all the guys go naked. I'd have to think that there has to be bits of unsanitary matter floating around. Do women wear suits if the whirlpool is inside their locker room? Women seem more conscious about being naked in front of other women - I've heard they have individual shower stalls. Whereas guys generally don't care and have the big old gang shower. If you wear suits at least there's another layer of fabric between you and the seat in the whirlpool. And forget about using it on Saturday or Sunday, when people bring their kids to pee in it! |
Twiggyish | Friday, January 10, 2003 - 02:50 pm     I think if the place is clean and they treat the water, it might be ok. If you have any reservations about it, then don't do it. I'm sure you can wear a bathing suit, though. |
Webkitty | Saturday, January 11, 2003 - 03:55 pm     I have a question: I'm on webtv, What do the pc users see here: Crazydog: I would NEVER walk around a locker room with no clothes on! Although I have seen other women do it and I don't see the reason for it, there are private cubicles for that. (and shower stalls) Most of them that do it are senior women, my eyes! I wouldn't use the whirlpool that way either. Actually, I've never heard of a whirlpool being inside the locker room. I would imagine that the chorine would keep germs to a minimum, but still, I wouldn't use a public pool or whirlpool, I'm phobic that way, but that's just me. Hope this helps. |

Curious1 | Sunday, January 12, 2003 - 01:06 am     thought this was funny and I just had to share titled; clueless http://www.despair.com/demotivators/cluelessness.html |
Cyn | Sunday, January 12, 2003 - 03:21 am     Who, Tess, Bakerygirl and Sia thanks! Car54, I saw that poem posted here somewhere at one time and it is cool. That's neat that it is about them. I am so glad that the Red Hat Society is real and having fun. |
Squaredsc | Monday, January 13, 2003 - 10:48 am     quick question. i was scanning the games thread and read the topic moderator question. which says that if you want to save some of these discussions to save it to your hard drive. ques, how? do you just cut and paste the msgs that you want? or is there another way to do this. i was just wondering because i would like to save the msgs in my members folder. thanks in advance  |
