Because Life is Short
Because life is short, we should sometimes write about the little things that amuse us, that might amuse others. Rather than doom and gloom all the time.
So, this week I have been introduced to a new term for when a woman has her period.
I like the IT Crowd reference to Aunt Irma. If you are not familiar with the show, you just got homework. Wonder if my male followers read to this point.
The term I’ve been introduced to this week is called “Shark Week” I mean, on this topic in general, men can be such bastards. Oh, they think we blame everything on our periods, but if they had crazy hormones once a month and had just one full on menstrual cycle, they would bite their tongue and be much more considerate.
Where was I? The other name I’ve heard, this one Oprah uses, “You Know where Aunt Flo visits.” Oh Oprah, so love her… Then theirs “I’ve got the Decorators in.” What? That person also explained ‘You know the painters?’
What term do you use?
I’ver heard “that time of the month” “B*#ch week” “on the rag.”

I will probably cry when the bloody messes are over because I never was able to have children. But, then, I’ll be happy that I won’t have to bother with the mess. I don’t get ‘cranky’ with my periods just very low just before they happen.
If men really had to experience for themselves how it’s *really* like to be a woman they’d be shocked for sure.
