If we use FUUSM’s plates and silverware, somebody—the hosts, I suppose—are going to be stuck with a ton of dishes while the dishwasher runs a load or two. If a lot of women attend, and check-in lasts a while, it could be a late night for the hosts. I don’t mind doing dishes or running my dishwasher. But sitting around waiting for the FUUSM dishwasher to finish… not so much. I don’t mind bringing my own place setting—and taking it home dirty. I stick ‘em in my own dishwasher when I get home. It’s no big deal. But I would mind hanging out at FUUSM waiting for the dishwasher to finish. I guess Chris and I are different that way!!</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I do plan to offer my house for Women’s Group one of these months (<b class=""><font color="#e32400" class="">didja hear that, Cindy Brown??</font></b>) and I’ll be happy to do the dishes afterward.

If everyone on this list attends every meeting, they’ll all have to be at the social hall. So, let’s keep up the variation. Those who strongly prefer meeting in homes can skip those held at the SH. Those who prefer the SH can skip those held in homes. Those who who have weak preferences can go or not go to whatever they feel like. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">—dawn</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Nov 10, 2022, at 6:11 PM, Teresa Hayes via Women <<a href="mailto:women@fuusm.org" class="">women@fuusm.org</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div class=""><div class="ydpc353e997yahoo-style-wrap" style="font-family:Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;"><div class=""></div>
