Guest guest Posted November 13, 2000 Report Share Posted November 13, 2000 , Sorry to hear that you're having a rough time right now hon. *hugs* It made perfect sense to me when you said that you knew what you had, but not the problem. I think everyone can relate to that! I can also really relate about christmas and a kiddo who doesn't know that there actually are toys that cost less than 80.00. It's really a bummer, I have to tell her no so much anyway, I like to at least be able to say " yes " on special occasions like christmas, but I don't know if that is gonna happen this year or not. Hang in there, hon. Feel free to vent anytime! I can understand not feeling like posting, but check in with us every now and again, won't you? That way we won't worry about you so much. *hugs* " D.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2000 Report Share Posted November 16, 2000 , Thanks for the note it really helped me out during a hard time. My son just can not get it though his head that when he does something bad, it stresses me out and makes my condition worse and with all this holiday stuff it is really depressing me. Hopefully it will get better (positive thinking). Am doing much better now, still have some times when I do not feel like doing anything at all and everything gets on my nerves. Am trying some things that may help me out. Actually started back on my cross stitching and am enjoying it again. Before did not even want to look at it, so I guess that is an improvement. Take care and Thanks for all the support Re: Hi all > , > Sorry to hear that you're having a rough time right now hon. *hugs* > It made perfect sense to me when you said that you knew what you had, > but not the problem.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2000 Report Share Posted November 18, 2000 , *hugs* hon. I know it's so hard with little ones that just can't yet understand that the whole world doesn't revolve around them!! (*giggles*) At least that's how my 8 yo is. She swears that the sun rises and sets on her little behind. I'm glad that you've started enjoying your hobbies again, though! I love to cross-stitch, but I usually don't have the time. Hope that things are going a little bit better for you today, hon. *major hugs* This time of year can be so hard. love, " D.

It's great that you were able to find a support group to reach out to. It always helps when you can talk about things, I really don't know why, but it does. I'm glad that you love your home. I'm sure that you're settled by now. Does your family like it? Have a great night! Love, Liz ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2000 Report Share Posted December 2, 2000 Hi Karma, everyone, I remember my 40th was not easy like 30th was. So many of my friends had a hard time with 30, but i thought 30 was great. I wasn't expecting 40 to be difficult to swallow, but it was! I don't think i look that different, but that NUMBER i did not like, lol! And darned if that number doesn't keep going up, LOL.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2000 Report Share Posted December 3, 2000 Hi all you youngesters, 50 was a hard one for me and at 60 I didn't care anymore! By the way if there are anymore "older" ladies out there I found a real benefit from this deep breathing. Cuts the hot flashes by about 50%. This is the first year I can wear bulky sweaters since I went off the hormone pills without wanting to rip them off in the middle of a hot flash! Can anyone tell me what a "pelvic tilt" is? Love this group, you are all so helpful! Iva lagniappe5@... wrote: Hi Karma, everyone, I remember my 40th was not easy like 30th was. So many of my friends had a hard time with 30, but i thought 30 was great. I wasn't expecting 40 to be difficult to swallow, but it was! I don't think i look that different, but that NUMBER i did not like, lol! And darned if that number doesn't keep going up, LOL.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2000 Report Share Posted December 3, 2000 Hi Iva, I read in that Reader's Digest Article where they stated " menapausal women improve their symtoms by 50% by doing deep breathing " funny you should mention it! Anyway, just glad its working for you and gives the rest of us hope for our futures. The Pelvic Tilt you ask? Well, you stand feet about a foot apart or less and exhale all the air out of your lungs, inhale as your tummy expands with air and then Pahhhhhhh as you tummy contracts the air out, then tighten your rear and hips forward (like Elvis). Holding 8-10 counts. That's the Pelvis Tilt. Best of intentions to you! Warmly, Tig > > > > > Hi Rashelle, Hi all, just wanted to let you know I am still > > > here > > > > and > > > > > breathing.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2000 Report Share Posted December 4, 2000 I also read that in "Jump Start your Metabolism" and they are right. I didn't think about it until several weeks ago when I noticed at work that I wasn't constantly taking my sweater off and on. (You learn to layer). Thanks for the instructions for the pelvic tilt.
