School of the Civilian
At recent get togethers I've been engaged in conversations on everything civilian, from hairstyles and jewelery to occupying children at events. So I got to thinking. There are currently ten ladies registered on the board. But with few exceptions, we rarely see posts from them. I remember my own start on here and how intimidating some of the forums and topics seemed. So I thought I would put this out to the board. Would it be possible to create a new forum for strictly civilian topics? So that ladies could come forward with questions and suggestions that can help improve our impressions? Not to offend the military. I love you boys but some of you don't know a corsett lace from a musket strap. There's a wealth of information to access, we just need a way to get there.

I agree it is a good idea,
I agree it is a good idea, maybe a special topic for Civilian's will entice of of those registered to post.

As Usual...
Miss Patti,
You have the best ideas! I would find a civilian area a valuable tool for me to learn more, since I am a complete amateur.
Thanks Miss Patti!
The Missus
It is done
As Miss Patti shall request, I shall make it come to pass...

Do the ladies require an off topic area similar to the Campfire Chatter as well? Perhaps the Parlor? :)

Expand a GREAT idea
Greetings Dear Ladies, Men divert your eyes!
Ladies of hope for this peculiar hobby. I am hoping
to encourage the Ladies to gather (Oh,
my...) and consider forming a Homespun Living History
Guild that could meet during encampments to educate
the public and possibly recruit for our different
units.
The Homespun Living History Guild could present
civilian demonstrations. Activities may include an
assortment of every day crafts from the 1850-1860s
era, including sewing, spinning, cooking with
discussions of period foods and food preparation, rug
hooking, and much more. The Guild could furnish a large
tent with items contemporary to the Civil War period.
This is only an idea... I would never presume to give
direction to our Ladies of hope... GRIN.
Your Obedient Servant,
Pvt Young

Lambh Deargh Erin Abu!
Most importantly we are free. Free in thought, body, and soul.
It is no longer the blood, but the spirit that makes us what we are.
We are Celts!
Thank you Mike!
I would kiss your brogans but I can't really bend in my corsett.:-)
Hopefully this new forum will get a great deal of use by all the ladies as well as some gents.

Bet all you guys thought I had been captured by a band of Yankees and held until release was sought. Nope I am alive and well in my cave of satin lace and wool. Great idea Patti as always you are the number one with me. CopperHeadAnnie
Finally!
I thought this would drag you out into the open. Welcome back!
Seamus, I most humbly apologize. I had no idea you were lending that Irish persuasion to the cause of a civilian forum. I kiss your Captain's boots. MWAH,MWAH.
