The Girls Only Thread

[keeshonjohnson]

My girlfriend was involved in a 5-day bachelorette party last year. Her biggest bit of discovery was finding good package deals. They went to Thunder Down Under and got a package that ended up including dinner, drinks, a limo, and vip access to whatever club was in that hotel for something like $130/person or something. they got a similar package with a cirque du soleil show. They also rented a villa or whatever they're called at the MGM pool for a day or too and she said it was awesome having a homebase to just lounge about all day.

Cabana day is planned for Aria.
Do you know where they bought their Thunder Down Under package? Did they get it ahead of time, or somewhere once they arrived?
Thanks again, I am in charge of this crazy event, have never been to Vegas, and live in Canada!

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

it was ahead of time. i feel like it was on the phone with the actual box office, if memory serves correctly. You can get a lot out of vegas by talking directly to people. they want to give you stuff because they want to keep people in the presmises of the hotel as long as possible because it promotes spending money in their casinos.

Also, a REALLY awesome place for a group dinner is Jaleo in the Cosmopolitan. it's a tapas bar so you guys can get a whole bunch of small plates for sharing. It's REALLY good. Also, the Chandelier bar in the same hotel is awesome for cocktails. i also recommend the thai restaurant in the Aria while you're there.

I really would like to check out Cosmopolitan the next time I go to Vegas. I want one of those rooms with the balconies you can walk out onto and watch the Bellagio fountains!

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Heather and I are totally in love with the Cosmo! The rooms have been really cost prohibitive for us though, like starting at $300/night. but it's an amazing place to hang, such a fucking awesome, well put together hotel. Everything there is really nicely designed and well-curated.

I wanna book a trip to Vegas now! I blame all of you!

Yeah the rooms definitely aren't cheap, which is annoying but expected since that hotel is so new. I have heard nothing but great things about it from every person who has stayed there or visited it. Next time I'm in Vegas I'm definitely stopping there.

I LURRRVE the Chandelier bar at Cosmo, it is amazeballs, I went with a group of girls about a year ago and we did a whole photo shoot in those crystal beaded curtains. Lol. Also the club there is really nice, the outdoor patio (where they have the vip/bottle service) has a gorgeous view of the surrounding skyline, great romantic lighting, the inside part of the club is a decent size and nicely designed. The music was a pretty good mix there as well. At least when I went. Definitely my favorite club we hit that weekend.

I only just realized all the girls gals first & last names start with the same letter, HH, JJ, MM, SS. Haha.

[ENluv12]

Enluv, I'm sorry! It sucks to have someone tell you that you're unapproachable or need to change, because a workplace shouldn't work that way. However, it's like Robin said, the way you present yourself at work can make a big difference in your career.

Thanks, Casey, I appreciate it. I know I am probably taking it too personal, it was just kinda like a slap in the face. Funny though, the first thing I wanted to do was come here and tell you ladies about it, because I feel like you guys offer more support than anyone in my workplace etc. Thank you all.

[keeshonjohnson]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Love the ideas. We are staying at the Aria and I love thai, so we will definitely be trying that out! Jaleo sounds like it might make the cut too

[scenicworld]

you ladies are going to have a blast!

[chairmenmeow47]

ARGH, i am on the shot, second round. i have been bleeding off and on for WEEKS now. i'm due for my shot in about a month, so i'm going to just wait until my next visit to talk about this but i am SO ANNOYED. i feel so bloated and gross. why won't my period just fucking die?!?!?

[locachica73]

I think they eventually will. I think I may have spotted after my first round and then just never had another period for however many years I was on it.

In the next few days it will be my crazy time. Ugh.

[Robin]

Which shot?

I get spotting about every other shot of depo I get.

[ENluv12]

Depo is the WORST for me. Does it work alright for you guys?

[locachica73]

It kept me from getting pregnant, it also kept me from wanting to have sex and sanity, it's not worth the trade off IMO, throw in the 20lbs every 3 months of weight gain and the answer is NO. But I have heard it effects everyone differently.

[Robin]

I don't have sex very often, so I wouldn't know if it prevented pregnancy. I actually weigh less now than when I started the shots. I do get a little bloated after each shot, but I quickly lose that weight. The spotting sucks, though. When I do spot, it's usually for 3-4 weeks. I'm hoping that will cease soon. I've only been on it for a year.

[chiapet]

I was on Depo for a long time when I was younger (8? 10? years) and never had side effects from it. Different for everyone though. I'm tempted to go back on it because I've had terrible luck with oral contraceptives in the past few years. (They work, they just for whatever reason seem to cause a lot of respiratory problems for me. I tried switching pills 4 times. Bleh.)

[ThatGirl]

I have a friend that got pregnant while on Depo.

[chairmenmeow47]

i do too.

and if i wasn't on a ton of cymbalta, there is no way in hell i would not have committed suicide by now on the shot. i absolutely hate it. it's just frustrating because this makes my endometriosis worse. the next option to completely stop my period involves either a mirena (sp?) IUD or taking breast cancer medication that can make your bones hurt and your hair fall out. i'm also out of dilaudid

[ivankay]

Hey girls. Like Paper doll cut outs? How about Girls' ones?

[locachica73]

Man, I use to love paper dolls as a little girl. I had forgotten they even existed.

[ENluv12]

i do too.

I have the IUD. LOVE IT! I highly recommend it.

[locachica73]

My daughter has the merena, she hasn't had any problems with it. I do not recommend the paraguard though.

I Laughed so hard at this episode with her and her tights.. I do not want to say much.. so I wont ruin it for those who haven't seen. But it was definitely one of my favorite scenes..

LOVE These! Obviously Hannah's character is the worst dressed of the 4 of them but is so adorable in her own way. I am pretty much obsessed with this show after the last episode.

[casey]

Audra (and any other moms in here), I need parenting help. Is there a parenting thread or group? I did a search but couldn't find one.

[locachica73]

Man, I don't know that there is one, there should be though! What's up?

The last episode was really great. I love Marnie. The whole speech she gave about being the uptight one and hating it...that is me, they nailed it.

I'm a mom too, what's going on?

[casey]

Thanks ladies. I made a new thread so as not to clutter up this one.
