Uppity Women Unite!

cycle-path

The BCO moderators have asked that politics stay off the boards as much as possible. Therefore I invite you to join an-off BCO email list where politics can be discussed: http://groups.google.com/group/uppity-women-unite

Cycle-path ... it looks like fun!  Not sure if I signed up correctly or not.

Thanks,

Looks like a lot of fun!  Hard to get away from politics when we have idiots in Washington making decisions about women's healthcare.

Good idea cycle-path!

I always enjoy the company of Uppity Women!  Having trouble with my Google password but will try to get that fixed and come visit you.

cycle-path

Actually, you can join via email by sending a blank email to uppity-women-unite+subscribe@googlegroups.com

See ya'll there!

Thanks cycle!  I understand why the Mods want to keep this site free of politics (I joined BCO in 2008 and it did get pretty hot and heavy -- oh my, that's an understatement!) and so I really appreciate that you've set up a site for us "uppity women"!  See you there!

cycle-path

When you join the discussion list, I have to approve you.  I had to choose that option in order to keep the discussions from being searchable. But anyway, if I don't approve you right away it's because I'm off having a Real Life. I'll get back to you soon.

I don't have a Google account so thanks for the info on how to join.  You'll be hearing from me! 

See y'all there! 

Bren-2007

Beesie .. I didn't have a google account either .. it was really easy to sign up.

See y'all later,

just went to your page and I ADORE ADORE ADORE your self description of being a Born Again Feminist.  Even tho I've never "lapsed" I'm gonna STEAL it.

In exchange, please enjoy the little wall hanging, next to my Purple Satin Gowned Kitchen Witch:

"If the broom fits, ride it."

If we "join" Google, doesnt' that mean they have that new non provacy program where they can "follow" you all over the web?????

spendygirl

I lean pretty far to the right....can I still join??  Love political conversations.

pupmom

I "applied" to join. Hopefully I did it right. I definitely belong in that uppity woman category!

Just love that name!

Notice that you and others who posted here are from stage 0 to II  I was dx stage IV from the start last summer.

Also I'm 65,but have been very uppity and opinionated since my teens.

Thanks,Cheryl

Sunflowers: If we "join" Google, doesnt' that mean they have that new non provacy program where they can "follow" you all over the web?????

Honestly, I don't know. But you can subscribe to the list without getting a google account. If you don't know how, just ask.

spendygirl: You're very very welcome to join, as long as you understand that you're going to be completely outnumbered! I actually find that if everyone in a group is in agreement about something, the discussions are pretty boring. So I think it will be good to have you there. As time goes on we'll see how it works out.

CLC

Hey there!  I clicked the "contact manager" or something to that effect...I hope that was the right way!  Looking forward to joining your conversation!

cycle-path

Hi CLC! I just approved you. A moment before I emailed a long introductory message to the group.

Anyone who thinks they're subscribed but didn't get the email I just sent, let me know and I'll see what I can figure out.

catbill

Sounds like fun, but I cannot figure out how to join.  Guess I'm an idiot.  Can someone help?

ProudMom_Wife

Sorry, I am a little confused.  If I don't have a google account I just send a blank email to the email you provided above and then I can join, or do I need to create a google account to join?

spendygirl

I'm not sure if I signed up right??? 

1Athena1

I joined....I think...hope to hear from you soon cycle-path. Thanks for the idea.

cycle-path

catbill: I'm willing to bet you're not an idiot. Here's what you do. Create a new email message in your email program. Address the message to uppity-women-unite+subscribe@googlegroups.com

You don't need to write anything in the message. Just press send.

ProudMom: I don't think you have to create a google account, but I'm not sure. I think you're ok just sending the email. Try it and let's see.  

Spendygirl: I just approved a couple of new members, maybe you're one of them. I'm reluctant to post anyone's email address, but are the first two letters of your email address "ch?" If so, I just approved you. 

Proudmom, are the first two letters of your email address "dr?" I just approved that one too. 

Athena: yep, you joined. 

crazy4carrots

cycle -- I tried the email address and it came back!  Then I tried something else (at the suggestion of one of us) and it didn't come back. Wondering if you got it okay?

ProudMom_Wife

Thank you for approving me

1Athena1

Hey, I'm still pending. :-)

RetiredLibby

I'm on. I joined with my hotmail addy.

catbill

Well, I sent a blank email.  Hope I did it correctly.

Thanks cycle-path, but political discussions on BCO got so contentious, and at my advanced age, I have no tolerance for what the Republican Party is "preaching" - so I'll just keep my uppity Liberal ideas offline ;-))))

Still don't get how you can do it without having a Google account...

CLC

Thanks cycle-path...see you there!

Oh my gosh, years back, in the 70s, one of my friends was wearing a button with this phrase. Have been looking for that Uppity Women Unite button for many years! I LOVE uppity women.
