Go to Life in the fast lane--where's the on ramp?

- Go to 'THE CURSE'
I always had rotten monthlies; often felt I was sitting on the edge of a black hole. I learned to feel rage against something that didn't matter, something like the lack of world Peace and how the hippies were dismissed because they were just drug takers. I mean yes they mattered but I could mutter and rage but not fight with my loved ones. Menopause was such a relief for me; I sailed through smiling just as calmly as I still do today.

A woman who was a bit of a pain in the ass, would say things like 'men have it too
you know.' I suppose she was a bit of an expert she would book herself into the
Oxford Hospital when she felt she was getting worse than usual.

What can I say? The curse got me too and was just a bother. That was long ago. Now I have chin whiskers to pluck and my hair is falling out bit by bit and that's a bother too. Life is interesting to say the least.

My mom was one who usually kept her emotions inside. You rarely knew she was sad. Though when we were little that was a whole different story!

Good morning
I have never heard it called that before. I always enjoy your stories, and I never fail to learn something new. That pattern of nature or "the curse" was kind to me for the most part. The curse didn't get me until I was 16, and menopause didn't get me until I was 53. Both were not very big issues for me. I heard all of the scary stories about cramps, moodiness, and hot flashes, but for whatever reason, I was spared most of those issues. Menopause came quickly and left me just as fast.
