Things that frustrate us all

@Kilana2 : have you tried magnesium suppliments? They worked decently for me, back when I still had "monthlies."

latest complaints : got my test results back. I have degeneration in my neck and arthritis in my right shoulder. :sigh: So I am being sent to an orthopedist and my GP wants me back to talk about pain management.
 
They made a mistake at the bank and later wanted to CHARGE ME for that mistake. I called them to protest and met there with a counselor who canceled the thing but it's still a lot of time and energy lost for nothing! I should be the one charging them for wasting my time!

I have magnesium, but I forgot to take it.

My commiserations. Don't let these test results discourage you, though. It's really amazing what a good orthopedist can achieve.
Sounds gaga but is a trusted and reliable remedy against all joint pains caused by any type of inflammation: a poultice with thick plain yoghurt or cottage cheese. Far better though is something named Quark - if you have a German or Scandinavian community or shop in the vicinity you might get it there (if they are Austrians, ask for Topfen).

Irritating female problem:

Getting fat during my monthlies due to wateriness. Makes my belly look pregnant. Hormones always prevent me from getting a flat belly.

...same here, girl. It's the most un-sexy time of the month.
Plus... the pain. It's why I missed work yesterday (though that doesn't happen very often). :scream:
 
Big bottle of Baileys Irish Cream, purchased yesterday on special offer in advance of Christmas, and tucked away to be enjoyed during Scrooged, Die Hard or some other festive flick by the light of the Christmas tree as the hours tick down. Rolled off of the fridge shelf and smashed on the floor.

A smaller bottle wouldn’t have smashed. Maybe there’s a lesson there, I don’t know.

I once had some extra cash to spend and as an impulse buy, I got a bottle of O'Mara's "Irish Country Cream," which is made with wine instead of spirits. It was in a box set with a couple of nice little serving glasses. I wasn't in the mood for the stuff, so I thought I would just save it for later, and I put it on a shelf and sort of forgot about it. Sometimes I would come across it, and I still thought to myself, "later."

So, "later" became several years. During a spring cleaning, I finally figured it was high time that I use it up. When I opened the bottle and tried to pour it, nothing would come out because the cream had become solid! :eek: After much effort and lots of warm water, I finally managed to dump the contents out so I could recycle the bottle. But there went my wine-based Irish Cream. :(

Quark makes everything better.

I've had guys try to tell me having sex during my period isn't a big deal, because he's not bothered by whatever mess happens. And I'm thinking like "Um, do you have any idea how unsexy I feel right now?", but as long as he's okay that's all that matters, right? :rolleyes:

Hell, I have a big, tough military cousin that, if you even mention the word "period" he goes all noodly, squirming and screaming for "it" to stop.

There's some kind of irony in that... big, tough, military... nevermind. ;)

No offense, guys, because I love (some of) you and we couldn't exist without you, but sometimes I think you may be a different species than us women. :lol:

Don't be so quick...I've heard that some scientists are working on female-female reproductive methods. :D

Soon, lesbians could have it made while gay men will still require at least one woman for biological children.

It doesn't matter as robots are the future of mankind anyway.
 
^ How unfortunate! Hope you find something else nice to eat! :)

It’s interesting that some find it so hard to talk about.

A while ago I took a break from work to study. Among my circle of friends at school was this young guy in his twenties. Extremely shy and rarely spoke. Now and again we started talking about our periods and he would slump down and all of a sudden he was gone without any one of us saw him go. He was extremely stealthy in such situations.
