i've been off of cigarettes for almost a week now.
i'm chewing nicotine gum like mad, but i can still feel myself melting down inside.
the world seems like such a crummy place to be right now.
That's so true Sherry. PMS I remember is like going w/o a smoke. Now through menopause and just feel like I'm crazy half the time. No wonder we get a few more years tacked on our lives. We deserve it for all of this crap that we go through.
I've always said that men should have to go through a year of periods. But then again can you imagine what a mess the bathroom would be? Tampons and pads all over the place. Lovely thought. Juni
great balls of fire, i get so angry at myself when i get like i am today.
i realize that everyone at some time or another gets overwhelmed.
it's how we deal with that situation that is the reason for this thread.
Isn't that the greatest!!! Aren't there days you have to hold yourself back? You just feel that feistyness building in ya. And at my age - 56- there are times I could care a flyin flip. TOWANDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Juni
LOVE YA LISA - HANG IN THERE AND TRY NOT TO KILL SOMEONE TODAY!! lol
Heh snarfy rat,
I'm w/ Emo on this one. Say some stupid things, but my heart is in the right place. Juni
yesterday (monday) i was off school and work, and i told my mother i would go out in service.
so monday morning i got up, got dressed, drove to the hall, and there was no one there.
i fell asleep in my car while i waited, woke up to wave at a brother, then fell back asleep, and then woke up, looked around and left.
Heh Richie,
You tell your Mom that at MANY halls monday is not a good day for service. Usually ones already have studies set up for that day and the person that they want to take w/them. They don't meet at the Hall. For many too it's one day they don't have to go anywhere, but can get caught up on their other duties. If you really are serious about going out that day - monday - then I'd suggest you make plans w/someone before hand. I speak from experience. Juni

Heh Lisa!
Consider the ages of the ladies that are answering you. We are all going into, or in, or through w/menopause. You do get very emotional and a little crazy at this time in your life. Try to laugh at yourself. It helps. Forgetfulness is my biggest thing. Before I'd get all pissed off; now I try to laugh it off. If I had a drink in my hand I'd make a toast to all of us "TO BETTER DAYS AHEAD and in the meantime TOWANDA!!"
You should watch Fried Green Tomatoes. Kathy Bates in it dealing w/menopause and Jessica Tandy. Wonderful story. Juni~~~~~~~~~

That's great Dave that you are trying to quit. Take one day at a time. I've tried to quit so many times and tried replacement things like licorice and tootsie pops. I was told by a help group to dring a lot of water and have a water bottle w/you when you go out. Sucking on the straw helps mimic sucking on the cig.
I guit and then the shit hits the fan and back I go. I have an anxiety disorder also which makes it very hard to quit. I admire all who are trying to kick this awful habit. Good Luck to you!!! Juni~~~~~~~~~~
hi all on this thread.
i am very new here quite excited to finally make the move and register.
i have a very long story but i would like to leave that for another time perhaps.
Good Morning Mercedes and husband,
Welcome to this board. I'll be looking forward to your different questions and comments. Juni~~~~~~~
i haven't been posting so much recently, but it's not because i've had enough of you all.
actually it's for a good reason.. my firm enrolled me on a home study course in a field similar to my current career but slightly more advanced.. ironically, several weeks after me enrolling on the course, they announced my department is being outsourced to india and we are all to loose our jobs at the end of march.. strangely enough, i'm not too worried about that, it's happened to me 3 times before with the same firm and i always found something else.
in fact, i might not even bother.
Heh Ballistic!
Never can have enough education especially at this time of job uncertainty. Best to you and enjoy time off if you can swing it. Juni
a friend told me about the latest p.o.
talk.
he said that women seduce men into fornication 9 times out of 10 - they are jezebels he stated.. that pompous ass!!!!!!
Thanks to all of you for your observations and personal experiences. Seems like the opinions are divided down the middle with women on one side and men on the other with a dash of humor thrown in.
If a woman wants to dress immodestly, I don't feel that a man can say she made me do it. Where's the self-control and moral conscience?? Saying that a male adult can't control himself and acts out like a raging hormonal teenager is a cop out.
One cop who gave talks to women on how to protect themselves against rape stated that every man is a potential rapist. I felt that was an unfair statement. I feel like there are good men who have set moral values for themselves and choose not to cross the line even though the temptation is there. Juni~~~~~~~~~
i had a conversation (debate) with my disfellowshipped husband about "the truth" that he tries so hard to protect.
me: hey, babe, can you tell me again why jw do not celebrate birthdays?.
hubby: well, only two are mentioned in the bible, and on both, men were killed.. me: well, herod and pharoah killed men whenever they felt like it right?
Fairmind -
Do you live in a closet? You're 59 yrs. old? Yeah. Just keep talking about sex. That's o.k.
