I love the stretchy rubber ties, the ones that allow you to make two bunches held together yet distinctly seperate.

Great for comms rooms, and also motorcycle cable management :-)

“In fact I couldn’t better if I tried!”

Sometimes I have one day without it in the middle of the week, but it’s a bit easy to loose track.

The idea of a lower dose every day sounds really appealing, consistency would be nice! I’ll ask the pharmacy about getting some 100mg next time I run out - thanks, I haven’t thought about changing it for ages and there’s no harm in trying :-)

I was put on it quite a few years ago, maybe the normal dosages etc have changed. All I know is that one week on / one week off doesn’t result in me having trouble sleeping, and I have a reasonable amount of energy :-)

My wife is now peri and going through all kinds of period fuckery, her doctor told her if she wanted HRT she’d have to go work it out in her own.

I love how consistent women’s healthcare is :-/

I had early menopause, been on 200mg progesterone for quite a while (I only take it every other week though, otherwise I start going a bit crazy, I was originally told to take it 2 weeks in every 4).

When I started I got a lot of chest pain, but from the inside. It’s calmed down now, so fingers crossed this is a temporary issue for you!

Peeping tom scientists, making it sound freaky … what adult sharks do together in their private ocean is their business!

Hey, that’s my line!

I refuse to compromise on any horizontal activities.

Oh yeah, this for me too!

No nuts or most fruit for me, since I hit about 35. I wish I could just eat an actual peach, not just the metaphorical kind.

Yeah, I was going to say - where are they now? In my fucking bed, waiting for me to get off the can …

I can’t think of any advice I could give that I would have listened to at that age.

Now, if I could give my 16 year old self a few books …

As someone who engaged in that kind of fuckery in the 90s, it was spot on. But only carefully and in very specific areas, otherwise it was a passport to a good kicking.

“I thought you said Debbie was top of her class?”

“Yeah, I did.”

“But her grammar is terrible!”

“Not that kind of top …”

I loved that in the fifth series of Fargo that was a clue. In the first episode everyone lined up for the guns and xmas photo, but only one person knew how to hold a rifle properly.

Those are some long fingernails …

Upvote for one of the classics :-)

My wife openly says she left Hungary because of the dictatorship, nobody has ever reacted to her negatively for it.

The impression I get from most Hungarians I’ve met is that if you can speak another language then getting out is the smart move.

I saw them in a tiny basement casino in Sheffield that had a sticky floor. The sheer noise of it was incredible, and they gave it their all despite there only being room for maybe 100 people in the whole joint.

At the same time, I have a very bush-like palm thingy in my garden that if trimmed right can be made into a small palm tree. They’re a protected species though, so I just trim it a bit

I went to see them live, in another life. They were very energetic, but I should have taken earplugs instead of a boyfriend with a broken arm.
