Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Last night I missed out on a fun time, but oh well. Instead of gathering with The Hot Flashes (a group of women from church who gather for fun)I was helping my husband find a private duty nurse for his mom. Pity, pity... The women gathered to have a cook-out and watch Calendar Girls. Sounds fun, huh? Thought I'd throw it out there for any other women who occasionally gather with friends .

The women would gather in the garden or kitchen and thats where I wanted to be. In high-school I had a big group of girlfriends and we did everything together, as I got older I still preferred a night out or in with the girls. Theres something so close and comforting about real women friends. Today is no different I have a small group and we do everything together almost! Oh hey, men are okay and we need to have them around too for this and that but its not the same, never the same, never will be the same.

Tkae note when you're out and about. We must enjoy one another's company. I think it's great for our mental health.

jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	This post and another one talking about co-workers got me to thinking. Have you ever noticed that taking trips with other women, or just going out to eat with them, is usually more fun than going with the opposite sex? Now, I don't mean ALL the time, but since this is mostly true, then why is it most women cannot work together in the same environment? I use to be a supervisor years ago and had six women and one man under me. Those six women gave me more headaches than the one man...go figure. JJ

I had a lot of doctors working for me and at first I hired several female doctors. They made me insane. Eventually I made the male doctors hire their own female nurses and supervise them cause that also made me nuts. It might be that you hire the whole dysfunctional family. And though you sympathize with bad relationships, sick kids, housework, etc. there is work to be done and someone has to do it. smile

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	Well ladies may I interject my 3 cents here. As a once trainer and supervisor of women I found out the answer, I think When you go out/socialize with a group of women you are all preceived to be on the same level. Once you have been elevated to a level they feel is above them(even if they are your best friend away from the office) it stirs up feelings of competition and upmanship. They may truly love you as a person yet feel inferior and even fearson of your position. I once wrote an article on this for The National Association of Women Executives.
