Suzan says - I read somewhere that studies show that Menopausal women are more likely to poison their husbands.
John says - Really?  I read somewhere that Menopausal women are more likely to be drowned by their husbands..........

We don't have a pool
I'm safe for now......................
But there's a teeny tiny bit of poison in the basement ......................


I know it will pass......................it WILL pass........................Dear God it HAS to pass lol
I mean people pass kidney stones - this should be a piece of cake...................
Have a great weekend all
Hugs,

  3. Oh no. I'm right behind you. It seems very unfair to be a woman sometimes.

  11. God, I'm already such a b*** each month during PMS, I wonder if my cats will just decide to leave me around menopause... Good thing they can't drown me, tough.
    Dear John, a medal is going to be sent to you, I bet!

  12. Girl you are hilarious-My sister and I have made it through so it is doable-not pleasant-but definitely doable (with cocktails).

  13. John is a champion just for not going fishing for months a time!!!!! But when the ice melts, do encourage him to go fishing....or something....just to give him a break.

    When you come out on the other side, you both will be so glad to see each other again.

    Other than that, eat more chocolate and get thee to the doctor for Gypsy Heart's Rx: HRT, temporarily. Better than standing in the dock waiting for the jury to come back in with a verdict.

    Hugs.....

  14. I'm thinking the 12 months part is wishful thinking at best. You should probably start writing some more months' worth of verses. Or you may want to call your client with the wine bottle back over.

  15. It's strange how differently women deal with this stage of their lives. My mom and aunt have been dealing with it for more than 5 yrs and My grandmother thought it was all a bunch of hooey. She said she never had it. I was around her all my life and I don't recall any period of time that was different than another. Mom on the other hand... I'm happy she is 200 miles away. haha.
    You seem to deal with it using humor. That has to account for something. Keep the poison handy and hide any bucket that will fit your head.

  16. Aww Suzan, I hope it gets better for you, soon. I'm older (just a bit!) and don't suffer as bad as you seem to be. Well, I don't think I do...I imagine Larry will disagree with me, but then it's all his fault anyway, really it is! Isn't it always?
    Thinking of you, take care.

  18. Too funny!!!! You nailed it, Suzan!!

  19. You poor woman!

    A lot to look forward to for me! I've had my first migraines ever this year at the "tender age" of 41. Nightmare! So debilitating.

    I use passionflower and L theanine to sleep.

    I'm so impressed that you were able to put menopause to 12 days! Very creative!!

  20. Hi Suzan!!!

    I HATE MENOPAUSE!!!!!!!

    Being a diabetic and going through menopause is something else!! Yesterday (Sunday) I couldn't eat enough to bring my blood sugars up. I kept going really lo after a hot flash. Now, I'm exhausted from yesterday and all the lo's. It was driving my husband nuts because he just couldn't believe what was going on. I hope I'm not one of those women who in their 70's are still suffering with menopause!!

    At least we're going through it together!!
