I fear Trump has a lot to answer for ?

OMG am I to suddenly become ghostly hairy hands.

Unlike Father Jack I have a tip your granny out chair which resets at a sedate pace but other than the speed I must admit that whenever I see Donald Trump on the TV I'm inclined to shout 'Feck! Arse!' and you never know he may drive me to drink.

merlot! I almost spat my restorative sip of white out.

vampire, my view is the menopause is a bit like your first baby. You can read about it, talk with friends about it but nothing fully prepared you for the reality, especially not NCT classes or all those people who tell you to chew black ash or similar to cure your menopausal symptoms. Best of luck -
On reflection, it may be that merlot is spot on, I'm afraid my language and sense of calm/mindfulness went wotsits up due to the menopause and its aftermath

what about your feet - are they becoming Hobbit-like?

the things I didn't know!
Now, I must go and pray to St Barbara.
St Gerald recommended Rozex

Hairy hand syndrome? I used to be quite fond of the blonde hairs on my arms but they have disappeared completely! and appeared on my chin.

Does that also mean you suddenly jump out of your chair shouting, 'Feck, Arse or DRINK?' grin

What is it with the menopause? I was told it would just mean I could have sex without babies and perhaps the odd hot flush. Didn't sound that bad

So why have I joined St Barbara (patron saint of bearded ladies) and St Gerald (patron saint of acne sufferers)? Now to crown it all I've developed hairy hand syndrome just like Father Jack. Time for me to move to St Clabberts.
