pearl Report post Posted May 8, 2009 You are perimenopausal. According to the fount of all knowledge (Good Housekeeping) - you have had the menopause when you have gone a year without a period. So, logically, you don't know you are menopausal till its all over! I'm liking that ... And whilst I'm being so positive - you save a bunch on central heating bills (fans self with Good Housekeeping mag) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My mum, gawd bless her, told her 'I don't know whether to be shocked or proud'... When my nephew had his first relationship he and his girlfriend disappeared upstairs to 'watch a video'... the video was 'the hand that rocked the cradle' with Rebecca Mornay... after about three quarters of an hour of increasingly loud headboard against wall noises i shouted up a warning that the cradle rocking was getting a bit out of hand and they should 'turn it down'... BOY did they look embarrassed! Bid - My plan, had I had any daughters, was to lock them in their bedrooms between the ages of 12 and 21... i would only let them out for school and doctors visits, and then - whatever the weather - they would have to wear long, shapeless raincoats.

My son is told he has no social skills but the ones who do come and harass us all the time, throwing eggs and putting hatred letters through our letter box. The world is upside down. As for your doc, I hate docs. Over the past 10 years I have had to go on several strikes, i.e. I refuse to leave your room until my son is referred. That was the ONLY WAY saddly enough. Good luck.

Mumble Report post Posted August 3, 2009 :angry: Stupid woman on the bus today decided to let me know what she thought of me sitting in one of the disabled priority seats. I really needed a seat coming home from my medical appointment today, I have a disabled pass in recognition of the fact I have additional transport needs. There are several priority seats on the bus and I was quietly occupying one near the front as I had got on the bus at the beginning of the route. This woman got on later and sat next to me - the stupid thing was that there were plenty of other available seats on the bus including other priority seats. She then proceeded to stare me in the eyes and look me slowly up and down several times before leaning right over me (and touching me - BIG mistake) to underline the words 'Priority Seat - Please give up for disabled passengers' with her finger several times whilst staring at me with a very odd expression on her face. She then stopped and just faced me with a fixed stare. I did look round to check there wasn't anyone else who might have needed the seat but there was no-one standing and there were other empty priority seats behind me, so I was a tad confused. Rather fed up by her constant staring and tired and stressed I asked her if there was a problem. Well she started with a 'people like you' (i.e. in her mind non-disabled, lazy students) speech but I was too fed up either to let her continue or get away with it, so rather crossly I interjected, "I'm sorry, people like me? What do you know about me? As a matter of fact, not all disabilities are physical or visible in nature and I actually have as much need for this seat currently as the people you seem to assume it is for. Additionally I do not see anyone else who needs to sit down at all and if I did, I would be the first to give up my seat. I suggest you look at your attitudes careful before treating someone and giving such an awful attitude to others in future. Is that alright with you?" She didn't answer. So I asked her again. She still didn't answer but squirmed greatly clearly desperate for the bus to get to her stop so she could get off and avoid the loony me and the other passengers who were also staring at her for 'picking on the disabled person.' I'm not entirely sure where that all came from in me, I normally wouldn't say boo to a goose (they bite ). In some ways I'm glad I did it and if it educated either her or another passenger in hidden disabilities then it's worth it but it does upset me that people still hold such attitudes and see fit to challenge without thought. I'm a bit upset now because I really did need the seat from a disability POV and to be challenged on that in such a horrible way (if she really felt that strongly she could have politely asked if I knew the seat was intended for disabled travellers) makes me feel like I was doing something wrong. I shouldn't have had to tell her I had a right to the seat and it felt like I almost had to put myself out there as a freak show exhibit simply not to be abused, let alone to be able to travel with the same rights as other passengers.
