I got this in an email yesterday. I know it has been 'around the block' before, but today is an especially estrogen-related day.
I just wanted to interject a little humor into this nasty issue we have to deal with, and I hate to say it, but in the last year, each of these things could apply!

10 WAYS TO KNOW IF YOU HAVE "ESTROGEN ISSUES"

1. Everyone around you has an attitude problem. Mad

(Not you, of course, the problem is EVRYONE else, and why can't they just see that?!?!?!)

2. You're adding chocolate chips to your cheese omelet. Embarassed

(Well okay, not to your omelet, really, but come to think of it, it's sounding kinda good.....)

3. The dryer has shrunk every last pair of your jeans. Wink

(I keep trying to tell him we need a new dryer but does he listen?!?!?!)

4. Your husband is suddenly agreeing to everything you say. Shocked

(Because he might truly understand you ARE RIGHT!!!!)

5. You're using your cellular phone to dial up every bumper sticker that says: "How's my driving - call 1- 800-". Confused

(Honest-to-Pete I had my phone in my hot little hand just yesterday!!!! WHO on earth taught that bozo how to drive?!?!?!)

6. Everyone's head looks like an invitation to batting practice. Shocked

(I would never be this violent....honest!!!!)

7. Everyone seems to have just landed here from “outer space". Rolling Eyes

(What IS this world coming to, anyway?!??!)

8. You can't believe they don't make a tampon bigger than Super Plus. Embarassed

(Need I say more? But wait...now that I think of it, it's been a few weeks...hmmmmm....))

9. You're sure that everyone is scheming to drive you crazy. Evil or Very Mad

(HA! I KNOW they are!!!)

10. The ibuprofen bottle is empty and you bought it yesterday.. Surprised

(They make really cute decorations on a "diet freakin' cookie"!!!!)

Have a great day... Exclamation

LOL ~ Good one maryloulou... here's another.

The Hormone Hostage knows that there are days in the month when all a man has to do is open his mouth and he takes his life in his own hands! This is a handy guide that should be as common as a driver's license in the wallet of every husband, boyfriend, or significant other!

DANGEROUS: What's for dinner?
SAFER: Can I help you with dinner?
SAFEST: Where would you like to go for dinner?
ULTRASAFE: Have some chocolate

DANGEROUS: Are you wearing that?
SAFER: Gee, you look good in brown.
SAFEST: WOW! Look at you!
ULTRASAFE: Have some chocolate

DANGEROUS: What are you so worked up about?
SAFER: Could we be overreacting?
SAFEST: Here's fifty dollars.
ULTRASAFE: Have some chocolate

DANGEROUS: Should you be eating that?
SAFER: You know, there are a lot of apples left.
SAFEST: Can I get you a glass of wine with that?
ULTRASAFE: Have some chocolate

DANGEROUS: What did you do all day?
SAFER: I hope you didn't over-do it today.
SAFEST: I've always loved you in that robe!
ULTRASAFE: Have some more chocolate.

My dh could never offer the ultrasafe route. I'm not a chocolate fan. And,most of the safest comment would not work.

"Where would you like to go for dinner?" " I don't have anything to wear (you should have known that)"

"Wow, look at you" "Why are you patronizing me?"

"What did you do all day?" Now that's dangerous. I use vacation time to run errands and get things done.

lol. This thread is cute. Thanks.

This IS a fun thread. Hey - we have to be able to laugh about this stuff or we'd go nuttier than we probably already are...

Another one that might fit on maryloulou's list: "You sell your home's heating system at your yard sale".

I read a low carbers signature line a couple months ago and it went something like this: What is I find out that this isn't my hormones after all, but really is my true personality?

Eeek!

I told my pharmacist (my pharmacy has 4 pharmacists, all females in their 50s!) that my husband has "gently, very gently hinted" that perhaps my estrogen RX needed to be tweaked a bit. She laughed and said husbands are good with those kind of suggestions! LOL

I always have to stop myself, and say inside my hea - is this me, or is this "it"?

LOL!
I loved reading the responses to my thread!
(Not able to imagine someone that absolutely doesn't want chocolate, but hey...fill in your ULTRASAFE answer!!!!!)
I myself only am bitten by the chocolate bug during those tense few days...er...weeks....er.....months right before the next Period!

I am in such a state these days, that I am afraid to think that this time it will be the real menopause and not just an imposter!

SO, just remember...

we are WOMEN!
we are powerful....
and we are not having HOT FLASHES
we are having PPOWER SURGES!
