Altweiber Day is the day that women are in charge in all ways naughty. They run with scissors - and if that's not naughty enough, they use those scissors to cut off the ties of unsuspecting (or quite expecting) men. They steal patches, they kiss boys. They throw out the rulebooks and just do what ever crazy women do during the Carnival days. And the boys usually are pretty excited that this day, unlike any other, they're pretty much guaranteed success. Everyone gets drunk and they call it a party.


Well, like many villages, the base also has an Altweiberball - a big party with dancers at times, a band, lots of alcohol, and crazy people in costumes. Last year I went and had a great time dancing with the husbands of a few of my friends. It was safe and innocent, therefore, quite fun. This year I went, hung out with some friends, had an ok time, but it was pretty mellow on my end. Love to dance, but didn't want to dance with the guys there because they were all a bit creepy. Still, had to go. This was my last year. So I went, I danced a little, I met some great people and chatted with old friends. And then I went home and spent time with Kirk who is much more fun than a big drunkfest anytime.

Quotes to consider...
"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."
-Albert Einstein
What the heart has once owned and had, it shall never lose."
-- Henry Ward Beecher
It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped. -- Anthony Robbins
We don't stop playing because we grow old; We grow old because we stop playing. -- George Bernard Shaw
An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered. An inconvenience is an adventure wrongly considered. -- GK Chesterton
The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
For most of history, Anonymous was a woman. -- Virginia Woolf
A friend is someone who will help you move. A real friend is someone who will help you move a body. -- anon
The only reason some people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory. -- Paul Fix
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge you’ll never walk alone … The best thing to hold onto in life is each other. ~Audry Hepburn
I am a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it. -- Thomas Jefferson
