Any females in the forum?

This hobby suffers slightly from a grizzeled old man with a long beard stereotype. I'm currious if there are any females that view the forum.
I'm sure there are at least one or two.
Go ahead ladies, debunk the myth.

I'm different to you guys in a lot of ways, but my sex is the same

Well, I know we have at least one "fiestyoldlady", and this new lady from australia (welcome, eden(?)).

But other than those two, it's a giant sausage fest. I mean, the fest is giant. Not necessarily the sausages.

Looking for a new girl friend possum,LOL.

Who says the sausages aren't giant? I mean just to participate in this hobby you have to have some sizeable balls, at least...

I'm a young man who prefers to shave the beard as I find the ladies don't like them much. I am growing a bit of the mullet lately though

Look, it's not the size of the column that counts. It's the speed that the vapor travels through it and...um...shit, I had a good metaphor going there and lost it.

As long as you don't drag the metaphor into barrels and leaky bungs, I think we'll be OK

I've been seen in a dress, does that count?

Do you eat Haggis... the question is one of plumbing, not orientation, but thanks anyway...I'll mark yours as a no.

good sport

giant sausage fest .. size of the column .. barrels and leaky bungs

Gee, why haven't any of the ladies responded to the invitation to join the discussion? Certainly is strange ....

That kind of stuff is saved for different forums.

I did ask a question about this in my first post. We'll soon see

Funny, I was just thinking about the fact that this forum is a big sausage fest. I was gonna post something like this, but here it is.

Women dont need to make 'panty dropper'.

KatoFong · Post by **KatoFong** » Tue May 30, 2006 11:54 am

Good point. So what we need to do, see, is us men need to start holding out on the women. Then they'd need to start making "boxer dropper" and they'd come to this forum. Ready, men...stop putting out!

Stangas · Post by **Stangas** » Tue May 30, 2006 1:48 pm

LMFAO....

another sausage here.... "how big rodney?"

the women just want the fruits of our labour...

KatoFong · Post by **KatoFong** » Thu Jun 01, 2006 11:49 am

It's probably for the best we don't have any ladies around here. We'd probably all have to start wearing ties and combing our hair. And putting on pants and such. I can't deal with that much stress.

Kato...back to that metaphor...

I think what you meant to say was:

Look, it's not the size of the column that counts. It's not the size & power to the boiler. It's not the speed that the vapor travels through the column or the packing you use. It's the REFLUX RATIO that makes it last longer & come out stronger.

PS. No kidding... I make panty remover, but I never heard of boxer dropper, but I suppose anything could be called boxer dropper... we are so easy.

Bump

Women have equal rights with aussies - unless they live there.

Packwidget · Post by **Packwidget** » Sat Nov 11, 2006 9:31 am

Now, wait a minute guys....as a woman I don't expect a man to do for me. I don't expect the fruit of his labors, nor do I expect him to put out. I like a man who wants an independent woman, not one who insists she "fetches" the beer and beans. And I do like men, unless they expect me to hop to it and obey, or try to put me "in my place." I've divorced two guys for that. Third time is a charm, they say. And it's true. Found the right guy the third time around.

Just a newbie here - this is my first response.

Greetings
Packwidget
You are the first female to respond to this thread.
I have a semi old fashoned copper rig, but I haven't found a way to post pictures anonomously(spell?).
If ya don't get any good hootch (at first...practice makes

perfection), at least you can make some good paint thinner.
Welcome to our forum

Packwidget · Post by **Packwidget** » Mon Nov 13, 2006 3:16 pm

Thanks for the welcome, possum. I sure would like to have some hootch. My dad's uncles used to make it, but that was long before my time. Right now I'm writing a book about 4 feisty old women who make moonshine and grow the other kind of high. The latter I can have, the former makes me jittery. It just isn't fair. Stupid hypoglycemic body.

So I'm in the process of painting a bookcover for my old ladies' story. I think it's time some old women teach us life can be for the fun of it. I've distilled their personalities from old women in my family.

I thought I could learn some things from this forum.

If you know how to send pictures by email maybe you could send a picture of your still. How would that be? - or do you have big brother concerns, like we all do.

froglet · Post by **froglet** » Mon Jan 14, 2008 4:04 am

Hello again everybody

Froggy has gone off for a shower so finally I am able to sneak a turn on the computer.

Stoker suggested I introduce myself so here we go:

My name is Froglet and I am a Learner Distiller! Dragged into the trade by Froggy, I am now secretly beginning to enjoy it and my current mission is to try and have an actual conversation with Froggy about the more technical side of stilling. I am a bit stuck on the old offset head design but I think we will get there.

I am enjoying reading the site but I'm not surprised there's a distinct lack of females on here... you guys can be a bit scary! And as previously mentioned it's not a very feminine hobby.

Having said that, Froggy's excitement gradually wore off onto me so that I even got a bit giddy when he showed me his new copper bits today. Maybe you boys should be on a mission to expel all your excitement onto surrounding females too??!!

now that sounds gross so I'll finish there

I hope to be able to contribute properly to the forum soon.

Thanks!

Some truth to that.

And I am DEFINITELY not touching THAT one!

You already have. Typical female, as soon as she moves in to a new place there's some urgent redecorating going on, a new colour scheme, etc.

Seriously, enjoy yourself. We are really a pretty friendly, helpful bunch, underneath that gruff blokey exterior, and this is a great hobby.

P.S. Great signature.
