I Enjoy Being A Girl — Page 41

I was too young too drink in the 70's! LOL!

So I'm bringing Zinfandel and Smoked Gouda. We were each assigned a wine and a cheese that is supposed to go with. The last time we tasted them together for like the first 3, and then we just started eating and drinking whatever. HAHA!

And ewww, on the blood drinking!

---

Totally unrelated to anything, but I could so go for some fondue....

(I think it was the cheese + 70's reference that made me think of that)

---

That's so weird that you say that, because the fondu cheese was right next to the smoked gouda at Wegmans and I almost picked some up. I love cheese fondue.

---

To the vampire thing...WTF? That's cah-razy. I've heard of it, but that's always my reaction.

To the period thing- That's quite a sore spot for me right now, because I just finished my third period in just over a month. It's about week and 1/2 maybe two weeks in between. Arghhh. See I have a pituitary tumor and it makes my hormones crazy. Sometimes I lactate, sometimes I act like a whacko, and sometimes it affects my periods. Although my doctor said he doesn't think that part is related to the tumor. So now I'm thinking it could be polycystic ovarian syndrome. I don't know. I'm trying to get into Johns Hopkins right now, because they have a whole division dedicated to pituitary tumors. We'll see.
But I'm SICK of periods! And I can't take birth control anymore, because of this, so the controlled periods are long gone. Now it's constant cramps (although I have a high pain tolerance, so they're definitely not as bad as what some of you have described) and I bleed like somebody shot me for a lot longer than it was when I was on the pill. BOOOOO. Oh and it attacks my skin like I'm in puberty again...lovely mess of zits during that time. BOOOOOO.

That really sucks, luscious!

Have fun!

There is a Melting Pot restaurant near me and I just have to get over there. Cheese fondue to start and chocolate fondue for desert.

Ok Danmag, that's soooooo not cool!!! Tempting me like that immediately after I've worked out?! Cripes!!!

I want chocolate so bad it's almost humiliating. If I had zero self respect, I'd lick someone elses fingers after they'd had a Hershey's Almond bar. Sheer desperation at its finest. I'm trying to wean myself off of sugar and it's killing me!!! So right now Splenda is my CRACK. (mostly free-basing except for the occasional syringe) YAY!!!

No chocolate fondue, but I did have a 3 Musketeers for dessert.

btw am I the only one here who HAS to have a dessert after both lunch and dinner? I don't mean like pieces of cake every day, but I need a few cookies or something.

That candy bar hit the spot.

I don't want to seem insensitive here, Schmerg, but I find it somewhat amusing that you had period problems during Macbeth! I mean, that's like Shakespeare's big "Bloodbath Play."

LL, thank goodness you have a hospital like Johns Hopkins to go to. (The hospital ranked #1 in more treatment areas than any other hospital in the USA.)

THIS is hilarious: "If I had zero self respect, I'd lick someone elses fingers after they'd had a Hershey's Almond bar. TOFU, you go, girl!

Dan, are you talking about the Melting Pot in Germantown? That's where we always used to go. Oh, and that thing about having something sweet after lunch and dinner must be a "Philly Thing" because I am now that way because of my husband. Before I met him, I never ate dessert! (It's so nice to have someone else to blame this on. )

Just remember that all the things we, as women, have to endure, contribute to our being the stronger sex. My husband says, "I'm DYING!" when he has the flu. (I'm not kidding.) He could never deal with a period, let alone childbirth!

I think that's what it so awful! I was so nauseated by all this blood spurting onstage, while... you know..

---

Lucious that's awful! But you are lucky to be near John Hopkins. I can't really relate to any of you girls with the whole period thing cause I don't get one. I have this thing called MRKH Syndrome where I was born without certain female organs, so I'll never get a period or have kids. It kinda sucks sometimes, but that's life.

Blondebaby, I'd never heard of MRKH before, and I had to go Wikipedia it! That must be really weird for you, especially hearing people talk about all of the girly bodily stuff. I'm sure you'll be a fantastic adoptive mom someday, though!
