I am here. Just had way too much life (reality) in my face this week.

Quickly drives in with my half a car and lifts up Flygirl's face

Cindy, I wanna gooooo with ya! Gawd I miss the days when I could just take off for months at a time!! I wish I was still free and easy ( don't start!!)

Sal, ya sound down. Oh how I wish that clock could be turned back, for all of us. If wishes were horses...sigh.

DM- I want roast beef on my sandwich, with hot cappicola and sandwich pepperoni and cranberry hot mustard and fresh garden tomato and pepper jack cheese please!!

Shoot! Now I have to go make a sandwich!!

I hear ya' RW, but girl, be so careful about what you wish for!!! This trip was supposed to be 6 months backpacking Europe 10 years from now.

I think you've been eating at too many bridal showers.

Make her a real sandwich dm, shaved roast beef w/Swiss, mustard, lettuce, maybe a little horseradish. Throw a huge dill pickle spear on the side and send her packing. Fru-fru food has its limits.

Whut up witchu, FG?



You guys, I have to be honest. I think my hormones are raging out of control. I'm 44 and pre, off the pill, with a fickle calendar these days, but everything sends me into a meltdown anymore. I'm waaaaay overreacting to everything. Some of my friendships are in transitional phases and every single thing totally sets me off. I'm sick of living this freakin' gimpy way too, and between the two "M"s I'm going out of my mind. Someone just shoot me!!!

Ooooh!

Backpacking in Europe!!

I was perusing the new National Geographic Adventure Mag and reading about a guy who went to Alaska because of a Robert Service poem. His report was about the ANWR oil drilling debate. They hiked and rafted from one edge of the ANWR to the Beaufort Sea. I could FEEL myself out there and I almost cried.

I am jealous that you have the big M!! I want it so bad that sometimes I go outside and scream COME ONNNNNNNNNNNN MENOPAUSE!! ( I wait til the neighbors go home for the season ) At 48 I expected to see some sort of sign that the torture would soon be over but NOOOOO...39 years of the cramps and heavy flow and no kids to show for the torture...I am READY TO BE DONE WITH IT!! I am seriously considering ending the whole thing surgically but still hold out hope that it will just hurry up and end already!!

Shoot, RW, I offered my gyn $25k in cash to do the deed when I was 30 and she scoffed at me! I'm not a candidate for surgery and it just ain't right.

I never wanted kids and I've never been pregnant, so WWWHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY??????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????? ??

I HATE IT!!!!!!!!!

Ha-ha! (paid my gyn off a couple of years ago!)

Hag.

Best thing I ever did!
(of course..it helped to be in pain and to feel like I was dying at the time!)

Honestly, I saw what my mom went through and I'll stick it out over dealing with that.

My grandma just stopped point blank one day. I look like her, so here's hoping... tomorrow would be good...

Well...nah, you don't want to know.

RW - I already gave you bad time about your half car on that other forum, so I will go easy on you!

As for the other "M"...neener neener neener....got rid of that issue when I was 34! Best thing I ever did! And yep, right there with you Miss Taffy...thought I was gonna die before they took all the parts out. My gyn left me on ovary at the time so I didn't go through menopause until about 1999...started having symptoms, had that ovary removed -- dang it had some grapefruit sized cysts on it, and got me some of those little green pills...gotta love 'em. HRT is my friend. Ranks right up there with Topamax.

I be doing fine now...yep! Me and my pills.

DM! I am sorry you are under the weather again....we gotta get you fixed up girl.

Help is on the way!



Was looking for that airplane....hmmmm....
