Same mechanism that causes the bends in divers who come up too fast when they've been down longer/deeper over a certain amount of time. Dissolved gasses come out of solution and want to invade all the crevices of your body. Ouchie.

We had nuisance snow over the weekend.
Also - my joints are also protesting the weather.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Oh, good. The bends. That makes sense, and also makes me feel better about downing Advil. It's not all just in my head! Well, it is in my sinuses.

Yeah, I have cysts in my breasts, and low pressure systems mean they start aching. Sadly, I'm rarely in company where when someone says, "My knee's really aching in this weather," I can reply, "Dude, you should feel my tits."

Can I have some ~ma for a friend that is currently very pregnant with twins? The hospital is refusing to take her early for a C-section (she is due to have one in 4 days), and she is worried about going into labor and not being able to get to the hospital in time in the storm. One of the babies is breach, so she has to have a C-section.

So that's why! I was just putting it down to menopause.

Can she maybe just go "visit" the hospital coffee shop for a while? And if there are problems she's already there?

Connie, that sounds like a good idea to me.

Our wings are not tired.
Oh my word, sj. How upsetting for her. My sister was late in a single child pregnancy during a blizzard and we watched her like mad. She said she hoped to go to the hospital on a snowmobile, but I imagine if she really had to she would have felt differently. I hope she is able to stay comfortable and safe through the storm.
