We all know using a list is the best way to stay on budget! :ld:

We've learned that shopping while hungry is the path to failure.

Well today DW went shopping and came back with a whole pile of frozen treats that needed to be crammed into the freezer.

I, carefully, ;) inquired as to her logic to buying them.

DW: I saw the sign: buy 1 get 1 free just as I got a mega-hot flash
... Do you have a problem with that!!! :eek:

Me: Ummm, No, of course not dear. :meek: :cringe:

To be fair, she has a point. :D We need to take care of the present needs as well as the future.
Oh and I applaud you on your response (just don't let her see that you posted a thread about it). :lkick:

:) BTDT, including the "You gotta problem" response. roflmao

There are not enough frozen treats in the world to help.

Guys, it's like this. Imagine you hit your thumb with a hammer and someone tells you not to be such a wimp.

Imagine being in an ofice with three women all in their 50's, flashing at different times. Imagine the fights over the thermostat. Imagine the fans blasting at each desk and sweaters when we're not. Imagine the poor boss of said women who isn't at that point yet. Imagine.....:popcorn1: Menopause is such fun. :whistle:

ps...don't ask me when you're at the store and a bunch of women are standing with the freezer doors wide open just smiling and standing. :smkd:

I can only remember having 3 hot flashes....

in my whole life - that would have severely limited my "frozen treats", so I just check for sale items any time I am at the store. I feel I was deprived during menopause, so yesterday I found 50% of all frozen desserts as the store was renovating and needed to clear the freezer.

I got 8 chocolate volcano desserts for $6.49 - a real "explosive" bargain :whistle:

It is said that for some women, menopause goes until they are 70......so keep that space open in the freezer.

We used to have a male friend who would stand so long in front of the open frig. door choosing what he might like to eat, that his nose hairs would freeze up.:popcorn1: Maybe that is what these women were doing.......

I carry my Grandmothers Japanese fan everywhere I go now. As a child I was puzzled why she used it so often.....not any more. :D

I vote with Amazed best to keep this post under wraps. :xpnd: :xpnd:

Laurane---Three hot flashes! Three? Oh, you poor thing, lol.

I've been having them for ten, count 'em, TEN years. I'll go for a while without any and think I'm done, but no.....

I always buy more if I'm hungry when I go shopping. It's a rule I have to follow to not do so. I also have to hold my wife's hand grocery shopping so she doesn't go over board, possibly because of hot flashes sometimes.

Honest, I was just asking why she bought the treats, she done it twice since we've been married.


Some friends call them "Personal Summers"

Y'all made her night with your comments.

Thanks, happy to share :whistle:

This too shall pass.
I started having hot flashes about three years ago, just in time for our trip back East for middle daughters wedding (July 16, hot and raining the whole time we were there!). What I have noticed since then is that I have them mostly during hot weather. In the winter, when I could USE the extra heat, nothing doing! What gives with that?!? :confused:
