It is that time of month again,
When I am not myself,
And find that I have changed once more,
Into that someone else.

I find that I'm more sensitive,
During these few days,
I have so many ups and downs,
In many different ways.

One minute I'll be laughing,
Then crying 'cause I'm sad,
Then singing songs of happiness,
Then yelling 'cause I'm mad!

My husband stays, out of sight,
Until this time has passed,
And dreams of the final month,
When I'll have had my last!

This is such a story of womanly truth, Linda...
and written so well, with so much sensitivity.

Bill, your response elicited a big guffaw out of me...then I wanted to hit you over the head with a giant zuccini! Just kiddin'

P.S.  I've mellowed out over the years. Now it's just my feelings that get hurt---not other people!  Ha! Ha!

(big hugggssssss) Oh Linda, though I am not a woman, I understand how sometimes women have these tough times and my heart goes out to you and know it is natural and you are always special to us all! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Noah, you are so empathetic and understanding. I'd never hit you over the head with a big zuccini. I'd bite my lip before I'd bite yours! Ha!Ha!Ha!

Yeah Yeah,  sure you are nice and composed..
And you certainly are a much more enjoyable
person NOW than you were back then...RIght?

Zu what?  Boy, that could hurt.....THUD!

And Linda exits the scene,  Magnus lying on
the ground....moaning....PMyes or PMS?  
What was it????   OH Yeah,  I know... but
that wasn't me, and that was a long long
time ago....back in the dark ages when it
wasn't called that....

And....BTW...I do believe you...No one else
may (that you are a more calm person)  BUT,
I DO!!!

Dear Magninamous

Yes 'tis true, I'm mellow
I'm just a bowl of Jello
And just as sweet
As a tasty treat
You're my kind of fellow!

I love your sense of humour! Thanks for believin' in me! Now try and convince everybody else! Ha! Ha!

This is a rip.

Yes, just think of the money you'll save, at least for awhile. But, then again "depends"...

Dixie, I went 6 months once. Thought I was just going to perish.

Linda, you touched upon something all women can relate to. I am the PMS queen and now Menopause too. I'm just a monster 24/7/365.

WhiteRose---Somehow I find it hard to believe that you could be a monster at any given time----well, perhaps I can imagine the possibility during those 6 bloomin' months! LOL
