Will Aunt Flo be thwarted by a tampon?
Are they going home @ lunch?
Where can I get myself a drink like that?
Are those front or back pockets on the drawing?
(I hope they're not boobs- grandma, I'm talking to you)
Did Josh get over the chain text?

I wish the paper was longer so we could have
closure.

Ooops...at first reading I thought "you smell really strong" was a response from her friend, meaning that Aunt Flow made her smelly. It does sometimes, my best friend in HS smelled of raw meat (blood) on those days. It was very noticeable! But now I see that it's some kind of incensy, smelly perfume.

Interesting note (well, to me it is): Katherine Mansfield, one of the best and most neglected writers of the early 20th century, referred to her period in her journals as "Aunt Martha," or sometimes in French, as Tante Marthe.

Ew, yikes. Another note between two girls! Who are a little more... raw... than the girls in the other Find.

She must have been drinking coffee or soda pop-- caffiene can make Aunt Flo extra cranky (crampy).

I believe think this is the actual flow -

Girl1: Aunt Flow said Hi to me this me this AM!

Girl1: Your smell is really strong!

Girl2: Your wearing white and I didn't do anything different than any other day
(referring strong perfume)

Girl2: I know! Nice huh? Smell really strong of perfume like incents

Girl1: My insides feel raw that drink hurt

Girl2: I won $50 for reg.cc and will get you a tampon

Girl2: Are you going home @ lunch?

Girl1: Are you?

Girl1: Just think if I didn't notice AH!
(drawing about white pants and no tampon)

Girl1: I gotta drop kids @ the pool

Girl2: I sent Josh a chain text and he got pissy LOL

(what's the deal with the drink hurt part and what is reg.cc?)
+ October 09, 2008 08:29 AM +
LASH in hysterics....

I'm with BABY BASIL here...I thought the sentence: "You smell really strong!" was referring to the girl's period blood...and you're right...some girls even though they shower, they still have that *raw meat* scent.

This FIND is kind of *GAG-ME* but...that's a part of life!

Notice how, most womens' problems start with the word *MEN*? Or have the word *MEN* or *MAN* in it?

1. MENstral cramps
2. I'm a woMAN
3. MENapause
4. Hubby makes me MENtal
5. MENstration
6. I'm MANic today

I could go on and on.....no offense, just an observation!

@ScenicView

I've always heard "dropping the kids off at the pool" used as a euphemism for when a male masturbates in the shower -- never for taking a dump.

I know this makes me sound "old school" but I never cease to be amazed by how both males and females can now talk so openly about periods. This actually could be an exchange between a girl and a guy. Maybe a girlfriend/boyfriend who live together? Perhaps he needs to “drop the kids off at the pool" because she got her period.

I use to work with a woman who announced to our whole department when she started her period, gave us status reports on her flow, let us know when she was going to the bathroom to change her tampon, and actually sent an email once to let us know she had finished! Too much information if you ask me!

The same is true of this find. Especially the illustration -- YUCK!

Who the hell wrote what?! This is excruciating to read. Not the subject matter, just trying to follow the course of the dialogue. What the hell is "reg.cc"? Did she win $50 for that and a tampon? That's what the arrow seems to imply.

old school public speaker in my college days
@ Cotton, I AM "old school." A couple of centuries ago when I was still in school there was a euphemism for a mentrual period that was used by students on campus for people of all genders and orientations who were acting cranky or out of sorts.

I used that euphemism during a public speaking session.

Later a couple people told me how sort of bold my presentation was.

And it was later still that I finally figured out that 'on the rag' didn't JUST mean 'cranky'. OOPS! Too late.

@baby basil: "Tante Marthe" is in fact German. (I don't know how they call it in France.) In German you could also say "Tante Rosa" ("Aunt Rose")...

That period/poop girl is really into sharing her personal details.

She wrote 2 or 3 times for the other girl writing once. Seems like the other wasn't really all that comfortable with the conversation.

@ Baby Basil, my first thought when I read the 'smell strong' part, too. I used to hang out with a gal who had a sensitive smeller, and she had a hard time with coworker when they menstruated.

Anyway, I'm with Librarian: TMI

Nice drawing.

"Your smell is really strong."
"Thanks. It's my new incents perfume, Aunt Flow(er)."

Hey, here is one for you all: I attended the wedding of a very weird, but good friend some years ago. He didn't want a wedding cake, but instructed everyone to bring cherry pies.
No kidding.
He hadn't had sex with his wife-to-be and wanted to make a statement.
It was wild, all the chatter about it.

I thought the last part said "I sent Josh a chain text and he got PUSSY" when I first read it. I can't think of any logical way those two incidents could be linked, but the whole note seems so confusing that my mind just accepted it.

@Flargy- I bet these girls work at a bank, because Reg CC is a banking regulation having to do with holding funds from deposited items. They probably had a contest or a quiz at work and she won $50.00, although I usually just give away movie tickets or something. Funny find!
+ October 09, 2008 12:55 PM +
wishing I was still in utero
I love how she's all wiggly and excited, evidenced by the exlamations on "Aunt Flow said hi to me this am! You smell really strong!" Then her nonchalant friend is just like 'yeah whatever, ain't nothing different, look around your own caboose - I gotta go take a crap.' Then the exhange continues between ants-in-her-period-pants and Ms. Indifferent Grouch till they get back to what's really important, text messaging. Eeeeesh. Kids these days...

I think that sometimes our senses are more sensitive during Aunt Flow's visit. That's probably why girl #1 thinks girl #2 reeks.

And why doesn't girl#1 go get her own tampon? Maybe there are no machines in the ladies' room, huh?

I have never heard "dropping the kids off at the pool" as a euphemism for anything. I've led a sheltered life. Hell, it took me three read-throughs before I figured out who Aunt Flo was.
+ October 09, 2008 02:21 PM +

I think she was asking "are you going home at lunch?" so that she could bring her a tampon...perhaps she didn't have one on her.

and the tampon machines at work always freak me ou a little bit!

LASH seeing RED...

*reg c.c. = regular credit card??*

Instead of a Gold or Platinum C.C....maybe there was a contest or Jackpot to be won from your Credit Card provider if you spent so much or didn't spend so much?
I'm thinking the latter of the two!
Otherwise, if you did NOT spend the amount they had stated, how would the Credit Provider make profit and be able to give away a jackpot of $?
$50.00 is nothing...really. Compared to what they charge in interest. Unless you pay your whole balance off at the end of every statement. Then they don't make ANY $ off of you.
That's how I do it...I know it bugs them!!
Just my opinion...

Lash, see my comments above. I work at a bank and Reg CC is a very specific banking term. Of course, I could be wrong, but I used to give my employees quizzes and make up contests for them for "motivation". I'll bet they had a contest at work to see who knew the most about Reg. CC and she won $50.00.

@mlm

So tell us! Tell us! What is Reg CC? We want to know! Oh please please please please PLEASE! Don't keep us in suspense!

And what is mlm? IS that a specific banking term like "more lost money" or "making lots of money"? From what I've read in the news this last week, it's probably the former and not the latter!
+ October 09, 2008 02:54 PM +

Pastor Z- I know you are waiting on pins and needles waiting for an explanation and you probably won't be able to sleep tonight if I don't fess up! See, I can be sarcastic, too. :)

Regulation CC (Expidited Funds Availability Act) requires that financial institutions follow specific procedures to make sure customers have use of money deposited into their accounts within a reasonable length of time. Every financial institution must make funds available within the time frames designated by the regulation. These designated time frames are the same for every institution in the United States. (copied and pasted from literature at my job)

Whew! Aren't you glad you know that, now? The world of banking is SO exciting!! I just couldn't think of anything else that Reg CC could stand for and my reply to Lash MAY have been a bit snotty, I now realize. Sorry, Lash!

mlm are my initials, btw. (creative, I know) I WISH it stood for "making lots of money".

mlm -

Thank you thank you thank you! Now I can sleep tonight.

I used to be married to a girl who had worked in a bank as a teller. Whenever she told me about the business of banking, it sounded a lot like your explanation of the Regulation CC. ANd like before, I still don't understand, but that's okay because I have no money anyway.

sweetie pea lost in the old days
Back when I was a fair maiden in jr. high, there was, in a certain girls' bathroom, high on a shelf that was hidden behind the door, a metal lockbox. And in this secret metal lockbox was...a supply of sanitary pads. (The kind that took a belt, which shows you this was a few years ago.) Since all the junior high teachers were male, word was passed among us girls that if we found ourselves in need of a pad we were to go to the 3rd grade teacher, who was designated holder of the key to the secret sanitary pad box.

These ladies need a designated holder of the key to the secret sanitary pad box.
