| I think healthy diet should not be equal to bland tasting stuff you don't like, or that you need to munch leaves like rabbits. It's different for each person. I'm actually trying to eat more meat right now to be healthier. It' probably good to start with a health check-up and see if your bloodwork a... |

| I got much fatter after 40. Not overweight yet but certainly well padded. :) Now the more inevitable things after 40 (for me) are people in my family dying, kids growing up and mid-life crisis. I couldn't do much with the first two things, but I went back to school to get a bit more youth and diplom... |

| Contemplating whether I need a shorter hair this summer... And have it straighten. Also for dealing with the hot flash like symptom at the back of my neck. It's not physical, it's emotional. Or; I just need a trim and some coloring. Because it's a bit uneven with black at top and dark brownish like... |

| I never miss any of such event as long as it's within driving distance. :) Most of them are pretty dull I admit and I hate wearing heels, but I feel it's my duty to be there at important occasions. If you have anxiety get some beta-blocker. You'll feel much more relaxed at social event and blend in ... |

| I can start new friendship easily, with very pleasant girls. After a year or so they seem to fade from my life. I guess it takes a lot to maintain friendship. The only ones that stick around are the odd girls who likes to complain about everything. I'm never too warm towards them but they keep comin... |

| Well punishment is an alien concept to me. I haven't experienced it much as a child and I have not punished my children for anything. 8O Maybe I'm a bad parent, but I just never saw the need of it. Some of my teachers didn't like me but other than scolding I didn't get any extra work or anything. No... |

| I don't know anyone who likes their period really. All my friends hate them. I was offered Mirena IUD. They say many women with that don't get period at all. Maybe you can consider that. For me I'll just suffer through it. I'm almost 52 and the end is in sight. Life is almost always not what you exp... |

If I talk most of the time then I can avoid not understanding other people's talking. :D If I have to listen ... |

It really doesn't matter if they care or not because I'd be fine after a few hours anyway. :D I do admit venting to a real person feels good. Especially that person hugs you ti... |

| Your periods (if you're not on birth control) should come exactly two weeks after ovulation. Stress and illness can delay ovulation, so they tend to delay periods. Stressful event that happened a couple days ago could not affect ovulation. If your symptoms feel different it is likely you didn't ovu... |

As far as I know she's the biggest stress to every other family member, too. I don't understand how one person can be so volatile, so combustible, burning w... |

I think introverts have low energy, so probably most aspies, but it's not an autistic thing. Not being energetic is common and not wrong. That's why coffee and tea are popular all over the world, right?  |
