Yes! I think it’s great that it’s getting talked about now more amongst women. The generations before us seemed more ashamed to talk about things women go through as we age. It’s great that we’re breaking down that barrier and that taboo that was assigned to aging.
As far as I know, it’s also barely taught in medical school. So doctor’s aren’t even that educated about it. Luckily there are more and more female doctors that are pushing for more education about perimenopause/menopause. If your interested, I highly recommend reading The Menopause Brain by Dr. Lisa Mosconi. She’s a neurosurgeon who is currently researching the effects of menopause on the brain and also Alzheimer’s. It’s a very informative read. :-)
Menopause or perimenopause? Menopause is just the day that a woman hasn’t had a period for 365 days. After that day, they’re post menopause. Leading up to menopause is called perimenopause and it can last up to 10 years and start for some women in their late 30s. I hope I’m not coming off as rude, I just like to try and educate people about this sort of thing because for much too long women have not openly talked about perimenopause/menopause and us elder millennials and Gen xers currently going through it are no longer staying silent about it as our mothers and grandmother’s did.
That’s why they’re called boooobies
The new Bath and Body Works CEO has implemented calling their customers “consumers” now instead. In things that come down from corporate, customer has been replaced with consumer. It’s extremely off putting.
Maybe he should have kept his hand off Mary Chapin Carpenter’s thigh.
Is there a train community?
It goes on before. Just make sure it’s a ripe avocado and dice it instead of like slices of avocado. You gotta have the cashews too. It’s like all the ingredients just worked well together for me. :-)
Pineapple, Canadian bacon, cashews and if you’re feeling adventurous, avocado.
Can I get a liter of cola?
Fucking Grey’s Anatomy. Idk if it really counts as a franchise though but it’s on season 22 and hasn’t been good in years. It needs to end. I keep waiting for an asteroid to hit the hospital because that’s pretty much the only disaster that hasn’t hit that hospital yet.
What about Alien vs Predator Vs Terminator?
I’ve been watching the Fast and Furious movies since the first one. And I actually look forward to how ridiculous each one gets and how it’s going to top the previous one. I know it’s been time for it to end for awhile, but I will actually be kinda bummed when it does.
Just so you know, I’m all that and a bag of chips.
Las Vegas. It’s a show with James Caan and Josh Duhamel that ran from 2003-2008. The finale was supposed to be a 2 parter but fell victim to the writers strike so the second part never got finished and then it got cancelled before they could wrap it up. It ended on a cliffhanger of course.
I don’t know how to insert gifs on Lemmy, but I feel this ones appropriate for the What the fuck gif.
It’s grown a clit now
Rhinos are just armored puppy dogs. Hippos are the sketchy ones. Even though rhinos look hardcore and hippos look cute.
