  1. When you set your computer to bring up the fMh blog every time you log on. And it refreshes that page every ten minutes throughout the day so you don’t miss posts like this!

  2. What if you think the folks at M* are just kind of lame and so totally 2006?

  4. Emily U-

    If you come back tomorrow, you will find a bunch of stuffy conservative, orthodox Mormons who like to blog at M* (short for Millennial Star). 😉

  5. Thanks, Brian. I’ll have to leave my sheltered liberal world and go check it out!

  6. Thanks for stopping by Numi and Emily. Come back and visit us another time.

    Wm Morris- If you have no sense of humor, you might be a Feminist Worman Housewife COMMENTATOR 🙂

  9. Oooh, I got one:

    You might be a Feminist Mormon Housewife if you feed your baby with one hand to leave the other free for typing.

  10. By the way, I don’t think you have to be a feminist for #1 to apply to you – I think it applies equally well to feminist-sympathisers, non-feminists, and anti-feminists. Shoes = good. Complaining about PMS = watch out, because it might not be lemon that is giving that meringue pie its nice yellow colour.

  11. You might be a Feminist Mormon Housewife if you feed your baby with one hand to leave the other free for typing.

    Even better, doing so while in a public place, like the mall. 🙂

  13. fMhLisa,

    As long as they enjoy what they do, I don’t think it should matter. Should it? I’m not much of a dancer at all, but sometimes wish that I were.

    Wm Morris,

    I’d love to keep it pink, but I think Artemis doesn’t want to keep M* as a sister wife site forever. It’s been a lot of fun, but I’m ready to be back in black tomorrow.

  14. FMH Lisa,
    My oldest son (the one on deferment from the military to serve a mission) is a fabulous dancer and took lessons as a young boy. I based most of the top ten from either my life or my friend’s lives.

    Thanks to everyone for being great sports.
