POD Parties
“It’s easy to impress me. I don’t need a fancy party to be happy. Just good friends, good food, and good laughs. I’m happy. I’m satisfied. I’m content.” —Maria Sharapova, tennis player
Peas grow in pods, whales swim in pods, why shouldn’t Boomer Chicks gather together in PODs? When it comes to us Oldies but Goodies, the term PODs wraps itself around and hugs the concept of Precious Old Dames, a friendfest of aging, saging women.
In Care and Feeding of The Aging Human Male: A Sassy Primer, you will find a complete, chuckle-filled Party Playbook to hosting your own POD party (Zoom instructions included for the techie challenged)! Here is a shorter guide to help you get your party on, including a downloadable party invite you can email to PODs, the *official* POD Party Toast, party gab guides, and more. Bring on the shared laughter, tears, trials and triumphs—all while Depending on your Poise!
And we’d love to hear about your Precious Old Dame Party. Share photos and stories to irene@sassyprimer.com or by tagging #sassyprimer for those few among us who know that # is not just a number sign! And this doesn’t include the authors!
Precious Old Dames (PODs) Parties womansplained
What is a POD?
A POD is a gathering (online or in person) of Precious Old Dames.
Precious. Adjective. Has great value and is well-loved, such as precious gemstones like sparkling diamonds.
Old. Adjective.Used affectionately to describe both “old” as in aging and “old” as in longtime friends. Sometimes the bond is only minutes old; connections happen fast when time is precious!
Dame. Noun. As in “Mae West was a Dame… an ambitious woman of authority—one that pushed the limits without fear… [a] confident, desirable, and witty woman with mischievous sexuality.” (TRUTH, Ash Pariseau, “Dames That Know,” damesthatknow.com.)
We Aging Human Females hold our Precious Old Dames close, like peas in a pod.
What is a Pee Pod?
Like peas in a pod, a Pee POD is any gathering of two or more Precious Old Dames who laugh so hard they pee their pants.
The Pee POD Mission Position (NOT Missionary Position!)
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all Aging Human Males and all Aging Human Females are created equal. They are endowed by their Creator/Spirit/Goddess/Source with certain unalienable Rights, among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness, even with Crow’s Feet, Muffin Tops, and Hair Loss. We mutually pledge to each other our shared Wrinkle Cream, our Medical Apparatus and our Memories, as well as our Wise Support and our Sacred Compassion. We gather as Precious Old Dames to sanctify our commitment to strengthen our wishbones, backbones, and funny bones.
What is a Pee POD Poise Party?
A Pee POD Poise Party (affectionately referred to as a Pee Party) is a scheduled gathering of Precious Old Dames—old friends and new acquaintances—who laugh so hard they pee their pants. A Pee Party is centered around sharing survival strategies about life with AHMales, and sharing stories that nourish hearts and souls. Just like SNL’s Mike Myers (aka Linda Richman), Pee Parties encourage PODs to “Talk amongst yourselves.” Feelings abound, laughter happens, tears and cursing are welcomed! Throughout it all, every Precious Old Dame “Always Depends on her Poise.”
Party of One, Anyone?
These Pee Party activities can be used by the lone she-wolf, solo flyer, shy-pie, or off-the-grid gal in a self-contemplative mood wanting her own private laugh, cry, or inspiration. Enjoy your Party of One.
