Yeah, me too. I guess her mom was quite horrible to her about it, saying, "Are you trying to tell me that there are NO moving trucks in the ENTIRE city of Boston?" Um, YES!

Labor Day weekend, and on the first of the month? I don't doubt it for a minute.

I was going to SAY - this person knows nothing about Boston, does she?

Don't worry, it's not much of a college town.

Hence my comment yesterday that the streets are littered with Freshman.

Hi Frank! Sorry I didn't meet up with you at North Station. I was in a daze, and a rush to get to my commuter shuttle.

No worries; I figured you'd be gone. I got buried in a middle seat in the middle of the next car so it took me forever to get out of there.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

How to dice an onion the true and proper way. Learn it! Love it!

I embraced the Rio theory of Don't Be Cheap When Buying Glasses a few years ago, and never looked back. I figure, I'm basically buying a face -- buying one really nice pair of frames every three or four years just makes more sense than buying a cheap pair that I'm going to get sick of or break every 10 months.

Robin, I don't have anything to add except I hope the doctor has some answers and you feel better soon.

I don't care how my husband chops onions, but I find it necessary to re-fold every towel he's just folded. Fortunately, he laughs at me instead of emptying the laundry basket over my head.

We don't really separate for girls/boys night out, but we do have times when we just want to spend time with someone sans spouse. I think we both make an effort to have those evenings when the other person is tied up with something else -- I work one night a week, he has a frisbee practice or I have yoga, etc.

IOW, Daisy Jane, I hope things are looking better this morning.

Robin - the same thing happened to me when I first started (to my best estimation) perimenopause. It lasted somewhere between 6 months and a year where they were totally unpredictable, except that I had to make sure I had coverage all the time. Things did go back to normal, more-or-less, after a while. I don't know if it will be the same for you, so I'd still do what others have suggested and call your doctor. But, that's part of the problem with perimenopause, there is no set schedule of: you can expect X to happen first, you can expect Y to happen second or how long each phase is going to last. I just know that I will be very, very happy when I reach full menopause.

Robin, soaking through once an hour was exactly the criteria I was given for suspecting hemorrhage and going to the ER when I was having bleeding issues. It may be a normal development, but that's a lot of blood. At least call someone.

Huh. Good to know! (That's not how S does it. I think I may have to lecture her in my head the next time she dices onions).

Thanks, Aims!
