The only good thing I can say about them is that they do seem to be on the decrease.Snowbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436087215476479042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-75152489589883757242014-03-17T16:16:52.255-05:002014-03-17T16:16:52.255-05:00Oh god.

One never really considers the changes which will occur and frankly, I don't think that people talk about them enough. Women. You know. We don't really discuss them a lot although we should because dammit- we all go through them, perhaps within a range. All or some. <br />I think about the women who lived in this house a hundred or more years ago and the heat and the woodstoves to cook on and the clothes they had to wear and not so much as an electric fan and I don't understand why they all didn't turn into murderers or commit suicide or both. <br />Ms. Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776404747858099919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-87389170562021888702014-03-17T15:28:23.656-05:002014-03-17T15:28:23.656-05:00Alright, I made it to the period thing.

I went menopausal at 39; I still gloat. I skipped the hot flashes, somehow, too, but none of the rest.

It's been an icky rollercoaster ride and I'm still not sure what to think or how to be. I wish I could fine the humor in this, but I get alternately pissed or sad about the situation.<br />I could have written all the things you did, so thanks for sparing me the struggle to make sentences. And misery loves company. :)Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10114884092474969555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-27058339248959632512014-03-17T12:57:15.127-05:002014-03-17T12:57:15.127-05:00turquoisemoon - oh yeah, that too.
