Two “senior” men are sitting in the garden while their wives are in the nearby kitchen.

“We went out for a lovely meal last week; lovely food, good service and very reasonably priced too”.
“Where was that?”
“At that little pub on the high street in the town”.
“which pub was it?”
“Oh dear I can’t remember, what’s the name of that flower?”
“geranium?”
“no, the tall bushy flower”
“a fuchsia?”
“no the one with thorns, except when they’re white”
“oh rose; you mean you went to the Rose and Crown?”
“no, hang on a minute”

he turns and shouts towards the kitchen:
“Rose, what was the name of that pub where we had that nice meal?”

Hi Clunkshift, thanks for the joke. I think I'll use it in class some day.

[sheddie]

Clunk you are so funny, thanks for the laugh!! X

[Crocus]

Who's Meno and why does she/he want to pause? :D Never heard of the name.......menopause..........?;)


Love the joke Clunk!

[Katelb]

You are number one story teller Clunk and keep them coming,they are great.

Crocus, don't worry if you haven't heard of Meno,I don't know who she is either but I'll try to find out when there is a pause in the proceedings.
I guess I am pretty lucky really,I have come out the other side of it all with just a permenantly vague expression, some unreliability of memory,and hot feet in bed!! otherwise I'm free of all the horrors;so ladies it DOES get better honestly,and senior moments are easily tolerated and can be quite amusing,don't despair!!!xxx

[Crocus]

I get the occasional hot flush still, which is quite uncomfortable, especially during summer. Otherwise it's not too bad. xx

Top Tip new on the market a magazine is advertising, now don't get too excited !!
ONLY A POTABLE UNISEX NO-SPILL LOO!! Calm down and I'll tell you more!!
This non-spill loo is invaluable in the bedroom, car or caravan and you will no longer need to search for a motorway restroom. It is supplied with a unisex adaptor, it's easy to clean and only has a screw -top cap as well. and the price is WAIT FOR IT!! only £4.99 (don't say I'm not helpful ever again ) It probably is eggsactely what you've been lookin for.X:D

[bonnie]

:) sheddie i already have one:p
it can be a bit tricky though when you are travelling and both need to go at the same time, i can tell you.:eek::D

[sheddie]

Trust you to have one Bonnie, I should have known I couldn't tell you anything eh? X

[Crocus]

Mail me one of those, will you? Thanks Sheds!:D

I have had an horendous time. It started when I had an hysterectomy at 35 and still going 22 years later. I now don't believe it will ever end, it just keeps getting worse. I can't take hrt I get to many bad side effects.
I had stress incontinence until it got so bad I couldn't stand it any more and had an operation 2 years ago called a TVT. It changed my life. I no longer have to plan journeys around toilets and can go walking for hours without having to go behind a bush regularly. I fancy the no-spill loo though, would be great on long journeys and when we are gold mining.

[sheddie]

So are we saying incontinence is a problem? If so I will give you the answer. X

[dragonfly]

Give us the answer Sheddie!!!

A little humour for you menopausal ladies .

H.R.T

"I see the cause your menopause
Need to get on H.R.T
"OH NO"I cried to his surprise
"my husband won't agree
We've only got a licence
to cover B.B.C. :D :D :D

[Crocus]

For the past few weeks I have been suffering with the flushes and boy oh boy I never thought they were like this, it rises from my feet the suddenly to my face. I have been getting them every day now. today I am also suffering with a migraine which I know also is part of the menopause.

I have started taking Black Cohosh for the flushes but I seem to be feeling a bit sick with these so will try for a while longer. I have also started to take Primrose Oil. I know I have a good diet so hopefully I will survive without having to take anything else.
