ROFLMAO Gary.

Sothat's what she calls 'it' your blankity blank?

lol I call my husband's 'Harry' :D

Uh oh. Ummm, I hate to be the bearer of bad news...well not really :D ... but this can go on for 10 years. :dizzy::dizzy::dizzy:

it could be worse...at least you had your kids at a normal age. My friend is going through menopause AND weaning her child at the same time. :o

ROFL, Yep Gary that is pretty much how DH learned I was starting menopause. Sorry you had to waste that little blue pill. LOL.

Hint, our new king size bed was a good investment cause he got tired of me throwing his arms and legs off of me. He loves to snuggle and I just want my space. LOL. Being the sweetie that I am , I did buy him a huge body pillow for him to snuggle to. LOL.

I am so screwed ..I'm already hot all the time, have hot flashes, night sweats etc....have had all of that since hitting puberty. I sneak out of bed every night and go sleep in the downstairs room because it is cooler.

:lol3: I almost died reading this, from laughing!!!!

This post is the best- hilarious, but oh so very true!!!! :lol3:

Anything to cheer us up KERRY as the baseball season gets nerve racking.

I hope that isn't "dirty" Harry.

Thanks BIMBO...reminds of the M.A.S.H. song ~ Suicide is Painless.

ENNAY at NO time have I ever been normal at my age. Get away from that friend of yours while you still have the chance.

You are much sweeter than Angie ~ she just bought me a body pillowCASE...to put over my head!

Well ENNAY, you could always do your fantasy league trades then...did I mention I dropped Lindsay Lohan from my fantasy team?

That's great STEELSLADY but ANGIE read this thread today and I'm not so sure she felt the same humor WE did :no:

But she did say ENNAY'S account of the ordeal hit it RIGHT ON!


Thanks gals for helping me move on with my life without :woohoo:

Gary, I'm glad you were able to "take matters into your own hands" LOL, that's what DH would do. As a matter of fact, I think he's better at it than I am. More practice I guess. LOL

BTW, I had DH read this whole thread last night and he laughed so hard he about fell out of his chair. ROFL.

As for Angie just buying you the large body pillow case to put over your head, at least she didn't use it to tie you to your own side of the bed. LOL.

Still is. It means you gonna go through **** fore play. :D:D:D

I love it BIMBO....LOVE IT!

Hey - this is an amusing thread and I hope I don't screw it up by being serious here! But first to give hope to the younger ladies -- it is not inevitable! Not everyone gets these awful symptoms! I am post-menopausal now for three years and I have never had a hot flash, or any of those other jekyll-hyde things I hear about! I just don't have a TOM anymore.
Second - maybe a suggestion that will help those who get hot and sweaty at night, I don't know..... but I have a water bed and I am never hot and sweaty in it. When I sleep in a "normal" bed I do notice that I get uncomfortably warm. It is as though in a normal bed I control the bed's temperature with my body temperature. In my waterbed the thermostat is set to 83 degrees and it regulates itself to stay there despite my 98.6 body temp. So maybe a waterbed or other temperature controlled bed might help? Just an idea.

Oh wait, let me back track about differences after menopause. I do notice one difference. I feel like a kid again. And that means that those insanity hormones that kick in at puberty are done taking their effect. So, now I'm back to that kid-like "eeeeywww,, they're kissing....gross." Which is fine for me because I am mateless. Some might find it disadvantageous though!
