OK I'M NEW ET TU TU?

Well the action/event continues, this time i want to see who if anyone bring up THE HOUSE, but i must bring up what we will do with the money and food that is left here after the action/event is over,so how to do that. One of the new wimmin asked what was the purpose of the group,one of the wimmin who had been here before explained that we were a group of wimmin who got together in wimmin-only space to deal with what we saw to be dividing factor between us particularly the 3M's men meat and money, and how we could demise the divide if we consciously made a decision to do so and that we felt that would make our own lives more meaningful and also the lives of those we love. She asked if wimmin were the only ones we were concerned with since the group was for wimmin-only. Another womon answered that at the moment we were concerned with wimmin-only and particularly lesbian, although every womon there was not a lesbian. She said she was not a lesbian and did not see at this time what meaning the group would have for her and she thought perhaps she would not be back. Many of the wimmin there made an attempt to convince her that she should come back for at least one meeting to see how it felt for her, i said if she thought that the group had no meaning to or for her then she was very wise in making a decision not to come back, i heard someone say o don't say that, however it meant nothing since i had already said it, and meant it sincerely. Why should anyone be here who does not want to be i asked, i would not be here if i did not want to be and i said so. Well some of the wimmin were very upset at what i said some were not. I asked if we could talk about the food and monies that were left here after each event. I mentioned that a womon had called me and took me to task because i gave some of the food to someone and spent some of the money for food,water, and paying a light bill, and that she thought that some discussion needed to be had about what happens or what should happen to the foods and monies left over from our events/actions. One womon said she thought the money and the food should rightfully be left wherever the action/event took place and the money should be used to pay for the cost of the action/event, for lights water and some applied to the rent of the building, she also said she thought this was a fair deal to whoever gave up their place for the actions/events. Another womon said she thought that at the end of the evening the amount of money should be announced and the amount of food left over should also be announced, and then a decision should be made about what to do with it. Another said no discussion should be made about any of it since the meeting are held where they are held and whatever was left should be left in good faith to the womon who was having the meeting. Another suggested we leave the food to be used as used and the money be put into a bank account to be doled out for use whenever necessary. Another asked what account should it be held in and in whose name? Another suggested we use the money to buy stock in some company, and the food to be used as the womon whose house the action/event take place saw fit.Now i noticed the discussion about food was a very short one the discussion on money seem to take up a lot of time (my alter said isn't this interesting?) As so the discussion on money went on and on ad nauseaum, till some one finally said can we come to a conclusion on this money thing and get on with something else, she said i wanna talk about the move to THE HOUSE. The response to this was, we must put this money thing to rest before we go any further. So back to the discussion on money. Suggestions on money use put it in a box and once a month we will make a decision on how to spend it, bring utility bills to the meetings pay them from the money we have and put the rest in a box till the paying of bills time again, in the meantime, who will keep the money or where will it be kept, G..... has a safe in her home, get a safe deposit box, again open up a bank account, leave it with the womon who is having the event/account, hire a bookkeeper or accountant,buy e bonds, and on an on. I said to myself they talk as though we have a zillion dollars it is all of 85.dollars. So i said so, i said hey y'all we are talking about 85 big ones, so could we talk as though we have 85dollars and not a zillion. One womon said we must think big in order to be big, i asked who said anything about being big i thought we were talking about the use of some money. One womon said since we seem to not be able to decide what to do with the money, why not leave it like it is until we can come up with something and at the end of each action/event we see what we have left and then make a decision on what to do with it. Sounded good to me let's see what the others think. O no here it comes a lets vote on it. WE or i should say they voted i did not, one womon said well if you don't vote on it you have nothing to say on how it is spent, i said that is definitely not true, i do have something to say on how and i have a choice not to vote or to vote, so i choose not to. Anyway they voted on it and decided to leave all foods and monies with the womon whose home/house that the (LESBIAN HOUSE DINING-in-wimmin-only-space) event/action occurred, and decisions would be made on what to do with it at each event/action. I could have suggested that in the beginning o but the discord that would have caused would have been to much for me to take. But finally a decision.WHEW. We still haven't discussed THE HOUSE,i guess that's next but now it is time for a break, i gotta pee.
