I should have known better than to post something thoughtful when women are discussing their menses.

hahaha

I admit I hate having to throw you out with Randy. I just don't want Randy here in my safe place.

[locachica73]

Sorry Tom, I read your post and am now googling the author so I can read one of his books. That will of course be after I read 50 shades of grey, I want to read anything the library considers so filthy it has to be banned.

I read what you wrote and wrote the name of the book down, if that makes you feel better.

The girl who sits next to me at work got that book for her honeymoon. You'll have to tell me about it when you're done. I don't really care to read it but I just might out of curiosity someday.

[locachica73]

I haven't read a book in years, stupid DVR, but I figure it might be something that will catch my attention while Nick's watching baseball or family guy. I will let you know!

[amyzzz]

It's a sexytime book, right? I'll probably have to get it. For my one day a month.

[locachica73]

Yeah, its apparently flying off the shelves. One of my bosses just showed me the Saturday Night Live skit they did on it where all the women were masturbating.

You're on a bunch of drugs for your allergies though, aren't you? I can imagine some issues with various drugs not interacting well together.

Nope! I have daily medications for my asthma, though. There's no getting around that for me, at this point, though thankfully I'm doing so much better these days that my pulmonologist will be stepping down my doses once I'm back from traveling

Let me be clear that I'm not discounting taking drugs when they are needed and when there are not other/easier options. I just don't like to be dependent on them or their effects.

[amyzzz]

Whoops, asthma, sorry.

Believe me, my drugs are needed.

[chiapet]

Okay, hold on. That book is: 1) a spin-off of Twilight fanfic; 2) about a master/slave relationship; and 3) is being made into a mainstream movie??
Really???

[chiapet]

Believe me, my drugs are needed.

I know, and I'm not saying you shouldn't take them. I just think it's reasonable for people to explore other options before they turn to prescription drugs.

I hadn't read that much into it, I just figured it was the female version of porn, I watch enough porn directed at men that I thought it might be a nice change of pace.

This lady supervisor told me it looked like I had put on weight recently.

[ThatGirl]

I've read the 3 books in the series. It definitely has its moments.

[ENluv12]

Amy, that is fucked up.

As to the book, my mom told me to read it because it started off really good, then the next day said not to because she was too embarrassed. I guess it was realllllly graphic.

[amyzzz]

No, she was complimenting me. I've always been underweight, and they lady who said it is underweight and trying to gain weight.

[locachica73]

OK, I am sold, I am going to the book store on payday... do those still exist?

[amyzzz]

Barnes n Nobles. And we have a Half Price Book store in Mesa -- there may be one in Paradise Valley too.

[locachica73]

Now that you mention it I think there is a half price books by PV mall. I use to spend hours roaming book stores, I miss that. I need to cut some of the shit tv I watch out and start reading again.

[ENluv12]

Well in that case, congrats! I was always underweight in college, but since I quit playing vb I don't seem to have that problem anymore

[Originalbob]

(Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers).

.. the number one indicator is do they have a support network (friends, family).

yeah, about that. I've mapped out my circle of Best/Close Friends, Casual Friends and Aquaintences before and it's pretty pathetic.

Chia: So your one time hypnotherapist/mediation coach rubbed off for years? Or is there basic steps to start on your way of a lifetime of calm living?

[RotationSlimWang]

Randy, you don't belong in here.

And you do? Face facts, Amy--the only reason it's assumed that you're female is that we're taking your word for it. At a glance I'd say your aesthetic falls way closer to a lonely 13 year old boy whose parents can't afford food, and your personality would lead any reasonable individual to guess that one of your parents was probably an ottoman.

[RotationSlimWang]

This lady supervisor told me it looked like I had put on weight recently.

She's probably just saying that because you're bloated from retaining water. You'll be back to looking like a tent of human skin pulled tightly over a medical supply skeleton.

Well, yes, but but with lots of follow up work on my own. She had me "practice" meditating on a daily basis (even when I didn't feel I "needed" to), so that it's pretty easy to call up when a really stressful situation strikes.

[amyzzz]

The supervisor was telling me how she used to weigh 180 pounds, and I swear she does not look like she weighs more than 90 now. She said she preferred being overweight to underweight. I kind of wonder if she's sick, now that I think about it.

[ENluv12]

On a different note, my gf is coming over tonight and we are drinking a bottle of wine, watching bad tv, and doing a moisturizing treatment on our hair. I am trying to figure out what to cook for dinner. I need girl time.

[Originalbob]

chocolate cake sounds like a good dinner option to me

[ENluv12]

mmmmmmmmm that DOES sound good. I think I shall make one!

[BROKENDOLL]

Your menstrual cycle is not something to apologize for, it's a thing that happens. Embrace it. It's not like your period makes you into a completely different person, there's no reason to be sorry for things you say and do just because you're hormonal or in pain.

Well, you may be able to embrace your period, but mine makes me grow these baby goat like nubbins out of top of my head, and trying to embrace that is like trying to grab a bull by the horns.

Mine makes me a completely different person, I call her Fern. She's a raging bitch.

LOL Mine is too busy calling everyone else names to have one for herself.

I was making a joke. I'm trying to make the boys leave. Although it is true.

All I have to do is expose my nubbins and Pete suddenly remembers something he forgot to do at the shop. And I swear there's been a few times where he's actually forgotten where we live once he makes it out the door.

It's a sexytime book, right? I'll probably have to get it. For my one day a month.

Wait, Amyzzz... So, what you're saying is that on the one day each month that you let your stuff quiver, you'd rather read a book instead?
