[progmom]

:shrug:

[DS1]

:loveya:

[sleipnir]

3. What is important is what this man thinks

[progmom]

5. yes.

i think he's in favor. :toast:

[Misunderestimator]

31. He looks like that serial killer...

[progmom]

33. that one guy?

i have no idea what you're talking about....again.

[Misunderestimator]

36. That BTK guy...

:scared:

[progmom]

39. yuck yuck yuck

you had to go and ruin my perfectly good bodily function thread with a pyschopath, didn't you? :rofl:

[Misunderestimator]

43. Hey YOU asked!!

[progmom]

45. i'm incorrigible

:shrug:

[Misunderestimator]

47. But come on... look...

Right???

[progmom]

48. yeah yeah

you're brilliant. and um...you notice stuff. :loveya:

[Misunderestimator]

50. LOLOLOLOL

:spray: :rofl: Thanks!! :loveya: :rofl:

[babylonsister]

4. It is

comforting. :think:

[progmom]

6. belching women are comforting?

[babylonsister]

60. I am a belching woman who is comforted

after I belch! :shrug:

[Viking12]

7. I married one

and this one ain't bad either

[Zuni]

8. I am not fond of anyone belching

but it happens to all of us :hi:

[Floogeldy]

9. With my face and hands.

}(

:rofl:

[Wapsie B]

10. About the same as with women who fart.

;-)

[progmom]

18. but...everyone farts

don't they?

[WCGreen]

23. No, by allmeans no. A Lady let's Fluffy out.....

[spacelady]

26. OMG, I did not know anyone else used the Fluffy word!

[Wapsie B]

72. i meant to say farts openly

without excusing themselves just like a guy would. I was trying to be funny but it didn't come out quite right.

I've seen women belch in bars before and I think it's kinda cool.

[Beware the Beast Man]

12. Man, that really sends me!

:P

[progmom]

16. where have you been sent?

[DuckFan4ever]

13. Time and place.

If they belch in a place where it will bring embarassment, that is uncool. If it's hanging around the back yard having a bar-b-que, no problem. Belch away. No complaining if we out-belch you though.

[progmom]

15. so like...in the living room, alone with her

it's ok?

[DuckFan4ever]

17. absolutely ok. Just don't start something you can't finish.

Hey, if she's comfortable with you like that, then that's really cool. But not at church or at the parents house.

[leftofthedial]

19. depends on the context

is it sexist to feel differently about belching women than about belching men?

or should we all just live and let live when it comes to eructation?

[progmom]

21. pick pick pick

:hi:

[leftofthedial]

32. grin grin grin

:hi:

[wtmusic]

20. As long as it's not when I'm around nt

[texas1928]

It is a natural reaction.

I can not stand people who act like it does not. It is a part of human body functions.

[spacelady]

22. Burp burp What?

[progmom]

27. glad we agree

:hi:

[WCGreen]

24. The only place I draw the line....

Is in church...

There is nothing like a belch sandwiched between a few heart felt Oh Baby's

[progmom]

25. once again

you made me laugh out loud. :rofl:

[Misunderestimator]

28. I've never known a woman who didn't belch...

:shrug:

[progmom]

30. exactly

:hi:

[Misunderestimator]

34. Yay! What do I win?

[progmom]

35. what would you like?

[Misunderestimator]

40. Oh no... you are not going to trick me with a question like that...

this late at night... after a few beers... uh uh...

[progmom]

44. ...

:evilgrin:

[enigmatic]

29. Doesn't bother me in the least

It's a natural occurance; I just get a little nervous if they light a match while they do it:)

[burrowowl]

37. Belching, farting

spitting, etc. are the bodies natural defenses. Holdind it in is not good for you. Woman have higher bronchitis rates because thay don't spit out th phelgm but swallow it, etc.

[leftofthedial]

38. with my hands usually

:evilgrin:

[progmom]

41. see now

that's a better answer. thank you for playing.

[leftofthedial]

51. I still am curious about the sexism question though.

another one of those troubling "where is the line" questions.

It does seem that society accepts a double standard when it comes to belching and farting.

Why?

I always figured that everybody--male and female--has biological um, forces, at work. One should just usually be discreet and everything is fine.

Sometimes, though, the context calls for disinhibition.

[progmom]

55. i never belch loudly in front of anyone but my husband and close friends

but...that's not what you asked, is it?

i'm too tired for the deep stuff tonight.

[leftofthedial]

68. around my house, everyone kind of expects Daddy to belch

but if Mom did, it would be big news.

(I know first-hand that she belches plenty.)

If the younger daughter belches, she invariably makes a big show of it and the belch disintegrates into a fit of giggling. (She seems to aspire to join the Maddy McCall class of belching.)

[progmom]

69. heck - I aspire to the Maddy class of belching!

:D

[Maddy McCall]

42. The same way I feel about men who belch.

It's rude if done in a loud way.

[progmom]

46. oh

:yoiks:

[Maddy McCall]

54. I have an 11 year old son.

I'm trying to teach him a few manners. Loud burping is one that gets him sent away from the dinner table. :D

However, I can sing the ABCs in one belch. :D I guess that makes me a hypocrite. :shrug:

[progmom]

57. it may make you a hypocrite

but it makes me love you even more!

[Maddy McCall]

61. LOL!

:loveya:

[leftofthedial]

63. you rock, woman.

:loveya:

[Maddy McCall]

77. LOL!

:loveya: too! :D

[CaliforniaPeggy]

53. Hi, Progmom! OK...

belching and farting are of course, natural bodily functions. BUT there is no reason to be loud or obnoxious about them...I try like hell to let all of mine out quietly, unobtrusively...like that...How do you like my $20. words? LOL

This is my take on the subject, and I'm sticking to my views!

:loveya:

[WCGreen]

62. I agree......

If at all possible, let it slip out and then walk away leaving someone else to take the blame.....

[CaliforniaPeggy]

73. Thanks, CG!

I appreciate your support on this important topic! LOL....

[Misunderestimator]

64. You are so damn funny, Peggy!

I just wanted to say that.. :loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

74. I try, MisU...I try....

Isn't freedom of speech wonderful? :loveya: back atcha!

[progmom]

65. those are very nice $20. words

and usually i am with you. but every once in awhile - and much less frequently now that i have to be a great mom and role model, but every once in awhile the occasion calls for a really loud belch. especially when one is drinking beer. :shrug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

75. When in adult company, then that is different...

Of course, when you drink beer, and are feeling just a little bit high or whatever, then of course, really loud belches are appropriate!

I don't drink beer; therefore I keep my belches under wraps, and that's just fine with me!

:loveya:

[texas1928]

70. AW Come on

Doing it like you are being judged at a contest. That is the best way.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

76. Maybe for a guy, tex....

But not where I live...You do what and how you want...it's OK by me!

:hi:

[Robeson]

58. Whether men or women, I'd say they weren't taught manners while...

...growing up.

[progmom]

59. well it's not like i do it at public functions..

:shrug:

[Robeson]

66. What you do in your home is nobodies business, except...

...the head of Homeland Security. You may want to check their website and see what they have to say about it. My guess is, they'll say something about duct tape....:D

[progmom]

67. and plastic sheeting

:hi:

[leftofthedial]

71. what a waste of opportunity . . .

:-)
