Ok so am I the only one who suffers ... I mean sufferrrrrrrr from PMS. A girl in the office gave me this today and with some minor editing I thought it was pretty funny :D

Things PMS stands for

Pass My Shotgun
Psychotic Mood Shift
Perpetual Munching Spree
Puffy Mid-Section
People Make me Sick
Provide Me with Sweets
Pardon My Sobbing
Pimples May Surface
Poppy Mood Syndrome
Pack My Stuff
Potential Murder Suspect

[collegegirl]

HAHAHA!!! :rofl:

Perpetual Munching Spree

That is Totally me!

[SisTrev]

rofl!!!!

how true it is....

[marichino_freedom]

i love the potential murder suspect!

[redeemed_lizzi]

Lol so true

[azurity]

Ah, the power of being a woman!!

At least, that's what someone once told me it was. I still remain to be convinced!

[Libby]

Pack My Stuff
i don't like packing my stuff lol

[AlanaH]

I Looooooooove the Potential Murder Suspect....that's awesome!!!!!

[LittleLamb]

Pair My Socks


i hate having to find the pairs of my socks!

[God'schild]

Ah, the power of being a woman!!

At least, that's what someone once told me it was. I still remain to be convinced!

That's true.
having 2 older sisters and 1 younger, i know that it's true.

[AlanaH]

I love being a girl. It's just awesome. We get the cool clothes, the long hair, the testimony when we go out because we tend to stand out more than a guy would...
It's awesome.

[Ann]

yes but a girl has to bare restrictions. like trimming of the hair, and certain tops and etc...
and not to mention when swimming have to be soo aware if when wearing a top and skirt its not see through! oh i hate that! a boy can just take his shirt off and jump in without fuss

but i enjoy being a girl anyway.

my dad and me were having an interesting discussion the other day trying to prove weither to be a boy or girl is better.
I said one big reason why i 'd hate to be a boy is you have to work all your life!!

at least girls can escape that they can get married -stay at home with a cute baby and have fun shopping for the baby and house
taking the baby to the beach and parks just spoiling the kid.


while the poor hubby has to be away all day and work!

lol, so you dont consider cooking 3 meals a day, doing laundry, changing diapers, making beds, scrubbing floors, driving 28 hours a day between soccer practise and kindergarten work? I sure do :D Not to mention making time for your realationship with your kids and husband.
In any case, I chose a job I can do all my life, even if I have kids. All I need is a small room in the house. :)

The only way swimming would be such a problem is if there were guys there... and if there are, why are they taking off their shirts?????

I love being a girl though... we do have stricter 'guidlines' if you want to call them that, but it's also easier for us in a way. Guys have so many wasy they can 'slip-up' without anyone knowing. Harder for them to stay in line quite often.
We also get to wear way better clothes!!!

[EllyMae]

Our clothes might be cuter... But their clothes are a lot more COMFORTABLE! lol For those of you who never wore pants (which I'm sure is most of you), you wouldn't know that. It was a hard transition for me going from wearing pants everyday to wearing skirts everyday. I'm still having a hard time finding ways to stay warm in the winter. But, I believe this is about my 3rd winter wearing skirts, so I'm getting a little bit better. :D

Personally, I'm very happy being a girl. The hardest thing for girls I believe is that with the increase in beauty in women, the world puts a lot of pressure on us to look that beautiful.

But, to me that is just ABC's compared to what men have to go through. I give a lot of credit to the genuine Christian guys, who live holy lives, because there isn't a whole lot of them out there. Men have so much on their shoulders. They are the head of the household, and have so much responsibility. They have to be able to work and provide for their family, be the best father and husband they can possibly be, and still put Jesus above it all. Being a husband/father is just like pastoring a church only in a smaller degree.


*applauds to the sisters on YQ who display true beauty, humbleness, and live pure, holy lives that is fit to be a wife and mother*

*applauds to the brothers on YQ who work hard and serve Christ with all their heart, and would make a wonderful husband and father*

Actually I didn't really like wearing pants... I had one pair of jeans that were comfy, but for the most part I preferred skirts. But I was raised in skirts, so I was used to them.

[EllyMae]

You obviously didn't wear sweat pants then, did you? lol

Now that I've wore skirts everyday for almost 3 years, I'm used to them by now. I can't even imagine myself wearing pants. Skirts have become a lot more comfortable to me than they did at first. They're especially comfortable in the summer when it's really hot outside. I guess it's easier for guys in the winter, and easier for girls in the summer. :D

[Ann]

Skirty! you painted a negative picture on a girl staying at home. you must have seen bad aspects of housewives.

i havn't. you don't have to cook 3 meals a day - sometimes get a takeaway expecially if u have one child! with one child its the best.

anycase i agree with EllyMea about the hard thing about being beautiful according to the standards of the world.
we can't but the innner beauty counts the most and you want to attract the right sought of person anyway

I didn't mean to paint a negative picture, it's true though. Sure you can have take-away... but not every night. I wasn't complaining about it either, I was just saying it is work to be a stay at home mom. Not a fun, shopping filled holiday with cute babies :)

And I did wear sweatpants, they were comfy. I forgot about that :) They were a little too casual for what i usually wore though. lol. Now I'm always casual.

[marichino_freedom]

i used to live in jeans! i loved them. i owned maybe 2 dresses....and they werent very appropriate.

i love the way i am now.....and i cant imagine going back to the way things were.

i agree though, i want a job i could keep my whole life, too.......all i need is the garage in the back!!!!! :D

and if being a vet doesnt work out, there are so many more options for me.

and our clothes are DEFINATELY cuter! :yay:

[Ann]

did you notice dresses are coming back to fashion? well at least in Australia. thet are sooo cute and i wanna get one but most are low-cut,sleevless and too short :012: maybe God will help me find one

[AlanaH]

I agree with a lot of the posts on what being a good wife and mother would be like. I guess though, if you know that's what you're supposed to do...and that would become a normal way of life in not too long of a time too, right...so I guess it all depends.

[vpiper]

I found that sweaters work to help with the sleeveless and low cut tops, I button the top button or few to cover the bare area and then I'm good. the other thing I do for my daughter is find a cute shirt to put under the sleeveless top.

[marichino_freedom]

i was reading a book at borders the other day, and it was a bunch of ideas and tips for deconstructing and reconstructing clothing! like, putting a totally different top on a sleeveless dress.....or adding sleeves! i cant wait to experiment!

[leahmb]

I want a cute dress, but I haven't worn a dress in so long, that I feel sort of weird trying them on. I don't feel that they are very flattering on me :) But you could always wear a shirt underneath if it is low and sleeveless, then it would be more like a jumper. Or wear a tank or even just put a piece of fabric for the neck and wear a cute sweater/shrug. For the length....there are several ways to add-on.

*just a few ideas*

[countrygurl]

I have 4 or 5 dresses that are sleeve-less and low cut. I just wear a nice dressy shirt underneath and/or a sweater/ shrug over the top.. It works out just fine. I have one that the lining is shorter than the overskirt(but its a dress so not really an overskirt, but the top layer, does that make sense?) but found a slip that looks the like lining so it's an appropriate length.

[Ann]

yeh, i'm shopping for tank tops at the moment so..we'll see.

[azurity]

Yeah, it's so cool how dresses are coming back in fashion! I'm yet to find one with sleeves, or a decent necklines... I can't work out why they're called necklines when they're no where near the neck!

I don't mind wearing t-shirts underneath them, but I can't find anything that looks good on me. I'm really tall & thin, so everything is either too short, too fitted, or too lumpy, and makes me look like I've got a big tummy!

[NeedGod]

lol, Alysa, to true, nowhere near the neck. gee, you people spend all the time shopping dont you. Can i come shopping with you all, ehhhhhhh,, i'll do the picking fitting and wearing and owning, i'll leave you with one simple job............................wait for it............................. the paying hehehe

[marichino_freedom]

get a spandex-y shirt to wear underneath......that helps

But if the shirt's underneath, isn't it ok that it's tight...then it won't be lumpy.

[SisTrev]

if i need a shirt under something i usually get the shirt to fit a little tighter then i;d normally wear it so it wont bunch up. No one can tell and it looks lots better that way.

[vpiper]

I have to agree it's okay to wear a tight shirt underneath something, no one can see it and it doesn't get lumpy

[marichino_freedom]

i have a few. i like to wear them under dresses, but also under tee shirts

one is awesome...its for "cold" weather for when i'm hiking....it goes great under a vest or sweatshirt.

nice and toasty

[vpiper]

Mary check your messages

[leahmb]

Back to the original topic....in my law book, I read that women commit a higher percentage of crimes during that 'special' time, than during others.....so, I guess we warned to keep yourself it check. You don't want to end up in jail. :)

*I thought that was kind of interesting*

[marichino_freedom]

it is, but it makes sense i suppose......girls can get pretty crazy then.

[AlanaH]

I don't get crazy...a little more jumpy maybe, but I don't have irrational mood swings like some people I know.

[marichino_freedom]

it depends.....sometimes/sometimes not for me

[AlanaH]

I'm glad I don't get mood swings. Not sure if I could keep up the kind of life I lead if I did.

[blessed]

I do get mood swings sometimes and then sometimes I don't.

[marichino_freedom]

i find it helps to drink extra milk/eat extra dairy before hand.....more calcium in your body helps you physically and mentally. (i also read that somewhere)

[blessed]

Intersting.... a couple months ago I thought I was dying.. but it was only a very low blood count coupled with that time.. so now im on Trihemic.

[AlanaH]

It's crazy...I don't cry a lot or get mad really quickly. I'll usually wake up grumpy or whatever, but I won't be happy one minute and a monster the next.

[marichino_freedom]

everything irritates me sometimes and then i cry all the time. its bizzare, because i dont mean to.

[AlanaH]

I'm happy today...quite happy in fact. But that could change by tonight. Just depends on how things go with church and the practice I suppose.

[marichino_freedom]

i'm crabby today simply because of all the driving to school and work i had to do, and then fight for parking spots at school! i've driven twice to each place, and i'm about to go to school again to work out! grrrrrr :chris:

[Chelles]

I cry....and I don't know why (the rest of the time I am a perfect German) then I laugh cuz I don't know why I'm crying....then I cry harder cuz I have lost my mind...

You should have seen my brother's face the first time he saw me in this "situation" He's like....."what is the world is WRONG with you???!!!!?" :)

[EllyMae]

You know when my mom is about to start.... :peep:

I hope I don't become like that. :D

[marichino_freedom]

mine too....she is beastly.

i cry at the drop of a pin. and i get really "sassy"......sarcastic, because everything irritates me

[AlanaH]

I get a little snippy, but that's nothing new. Everyone always sees me in a snippy mood, so they think it's perfectly normal for me.

[vpiper]

When I was away for College I would call my mom once or twice a month and when I was complaining and depressed talking to her, she would give me the reality check and tell me to calm down I was just about to start. Mom's know best.

[Skirty]

I'm moody, but I'm pretty good at hiding it.
The last time I cried in front of someone was a year ago. I don't think I have ever lost my temper at someone outside of my immediate family... I get sarcastic when I'm grumpy or just really quiet.

Moms do know bets though :)

[leahmb]

I don't think I have ever lost my temper at someone outside of my immediate family...

I seem to remember witnessing something pretty close............

I hate crying in front of people, but seem to never manage to keep it together when I'm talking about certain things.

[countrygurl]

I don't like crying in front of people, I have this horrible memory of having like 6 inch's of snot dangling from my noise while standing at the front of the church..I know no one else noticed (I hope) and I didnt really care at the time..but now it's kinda gross...

[marichino_freedom]

how attractive!!! :D

[leahmb]

Nice visual-NOT...I think you were pretty safe, because you were one of the last people in church still and from where I was I didn't see anything.

[vpiper]

you could always have a tissue with you like in the old days and then you can whip it out when you need it.

[AlanaH]

I never can keep tissues in my purse. They always end up nasty before I even use them.

[vpiper]

my husband has me buy those tissues in the little plastic bags, they come 10 to a bag and fit nice in your purse, they cost more per tissue than buying a box, but they are worth it for the car, guy's pocket, purse or anywhere really

[AlanaH]

I bought some custom ones a few months ago that have little music notes and staffs on them. I can't bear to actually use them though, they're too cute.

[vpiper]

they make just plain white ones, you can find them at walmart

[AlanaH]

Mom won't buy them for me and I'm too cheap to want to get them myself. Isn't that pathetic?

[marichino_freedom]

lol......no. i'm all for using the sleeve, so why not be cheap in that department?

[vpiper]

you could put some cheap ones in a zipp lock bag and then they will stay nice

[AlanaH]

Or if there's a box handy, which at home and at church where I always am, there always is, so why should I bother? But that could work though...

[Babyruth]

Mom won't buy them for me and I'm too cheap to want to get them myself. Isn't that pathetic?
BGO has them for free most of the time, and I think Deals has them really cheap.

[AlanaH]

BGO has them free? Since when? I've never seen them free there...but we get the Mistys ones there all the time.

[Babyruth]

Yeah, my mom always gets a few when she goes. They are the small, 10 tissue packets. Maybe they started charging, my mom hasn't been there in a while, but I know they come in huge packages for less than $2, which is a super great deal! Even cheaper than Wal-Mart.

[AlanaH]

Hmmm...I'm going to have to check then. I haven't been there in forever.

[vpiper]

problem solved, maybe. . .

[marichino_freedom]

i got an individual pack for like 50 cents at walgreens

[vpiper]

i got an individual pack for like 50 cents at walgreens
do you realize you just paid 5 cents a tissue, and when you buy a box of 7o for a $1 you pay 1.3 cents or something a piece. That's probably what Alana's mom is talking about.

[marichino_freedom]

hmmmm...guess i didnt do the math :D

[vpiper]

it's great deal if you only need 10. . .

[marichino_freedom]

i did!!!!! it was perfect!!

[vpiper]

lol and now you never need to use a tissue again

[marichino_freedom]

eh....i got my sleeve :D

[vpiper]

so what was the tissues for again?

[Skirty]

so what was the tissues for again?
When she was wearing a t-shirt? :D

[marichino_freedom]

pretty much yeah...... :)

[AlanaH]

do you realize you just paid 5 cents a tissue, and when you buy a box of 7o for a $1 you pay 1.3 cents or something a piece. That's probably what Alana's mom is talking about.

Lol, yeah. She doesn't care too much for the price change between the two, so we live without.
