The Bluestocking: where conversation should supersede cards

[MyrtleLion]

The Blue Stockings Society was founded by women emphasising education and mutual cooperation. Men could attend as invited guests, but in this Women's Pub, they are only welcome to peer enviously through the windows.

All women welcome!

All tastes catered for.

All food containing calories will not increase waistlines.

All drink containing alcohol will not intoxicate beyond the mildy merry and slightly inhibited stage. Guaranteed no hangovers.

Don't mind the gerbils, hamster, capybaras, quokkas and other assorted rodents. They're all female, all staff and very accommodating...

Nailberry Glamazon 😍😍😍Must. Not. Buy.

😂 probably not 😂

Evening all.
I've been out to a non-virtual pub tonight, which is a fairly rare occurrence. Good conversation and a modest amount of beer.

I can't do magic eye pictures either. One of my eyes is quite dominant over the other, I wonder if that's why?

Colin has washed the greasy gerbils, they're just a bit dog-licky now instead.

I tried dolphin flag. And got...

I've AI'd you a unicycle flag but I'll have to send it to you via snailmail. I'll try a magic eye one but they might not fit in the same envelope.

Funny? Welcome to the Bluestocking - you ain't seen nothing yet!😄

But it's funny in a nice way in here, unlike....... Out There😨

Nailberry Glamazon😍 You definitely should buy that...shouldn't, I meant, shouldn't buy that. The Nailberry Raspberry is actually really pretty too.

Don't worry about the magic eye one. I probably wouldn't be able to see it.

I'd like to be a Glamazon

Sorry i have to interject i identify as a non nail painting person, not least because i am not ambidextrous.

Good, because the AI's had 12 goes at it & they're all cr^p.

Me neither - I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous😄

Having seen the state of my nails, I don't think I am either. But I carry on regardless because... colours! shimmer! metallics! iridescence!

Nail painting is a rare occurrence. I think I mislaid my ladeee nail and face colours in lock down

But i used to love iridescent

I'm not sure if you're commenting on me or DSD.

I have ASD as do my siblings and nephew, probably my DF who died some time ago. I need to try and get another diagnosis as the first one in 2013 said it was borderline but I probably wasn't. This was way before they understood that women show it differently. However it's glaringly obvious to DH.

He has been an absolute blessing and my meltdowns have been much reduced since we got together. But I was forced out of my job in the autumn and it's really set me back because it was so unjust. And it's been difficult finding a new job, hence me freelancing by testing AI models.

DSD was brain damaged at birth because she was a super premie (two brain haemorrhages, one in each hemisphere). She may have ADD or ADHD but isn't autistic. I suspect it's all brain damage.

I can't do my face because I use eye drops every couple of hours & doing that removes eye make up surprisingly effectively. I've been told there's no eye make up that can be used with that health issue, so I go all out on the nails - well, as long as I can do it at home without too much bother.😁I layered some polishes this week & ended up with blue nails that flashed pink & gold & were quite 'wet look' which is a phrase that takes me back to my teenage years...

I'm currently wearing Grape Nectar. But I pay someone a lot of money every nearly four weeks to do it for me.

Ooo i like evolutionary theories is it to do with being erm a bit fem scary?

Blimey you lot can't half talk! Meanwhile we have around 5" of snow to deal with. And when I say 'we' I mean DH, who is valiantly out there in the dark with the snowblower while I have been making some lovely chicken and veggie and lentil soup for supper. But I'm getting hungry...

There a female WWE wrestler called Glamazon, possibly ⬆️. My youngest came back home from uni for a week at the end of January and was suddenly a big fan of WWE. I've never seen it before, will never, ever watch it again.

It's so camp 🏕 🏕 🏕 🏕 🏕 🏕

Kept expecting the announcer to introduce MICK...MACK...MANUSSSSS!!!! But he never did.

Looks like dried blood Myrtle. Been catching your own prey again?

Might be the colour settings on my tablet.

The one benefit to being short-sighted is that I can see magic eye pictures.

But I can’t see the dolphins.

I prefer hearts, anyway.

Like the giff

Gosh - what a fine ...ribcage that young woman has!😉
