PMS Survival tips for men

by

Gentlemen…


Do we women confuse you on a regular basis? Does your confusion or even fear heighten on certain days of the month? Are you afraid to open your mouth to answer one of our persistent questions? Perhaps you lock yourself away in a room and hide for two or three days each month?

Am I warm?

If I am, then I’ve found an instructional video on how to not handle us during this time of the month.



My take on this is that if you follow these instructions you’ll probably end up getting yourself into more trouble than if you crawl under a desk and hide.





Make a Celebrity Turkey

by

So … my American friends, did you have a great Thanks Giving day? Did you stuff yourself with Turkey and other goodies? I bet you did.

Or were you one of the unlucky ones that had to work? As a nurse I often end up working on holidays and I know how that can just suck – especially if most of your relatives are out of town. You just can’t make it when that happens.

Well, whether you are sitting bloated with turkey in front of your computer, or all by yourself because you couldn’t celebrate the big day – I have a treat for you. Aren’t I nice?

You have to see this video that I just found. It’s a parody video of an Access Hollywood report describing how celebrities spend Thanks Giving and how to make a Turkey like a celebrity.



How did you like that one?

Bad things come in three’s

by

You think you’re having a bad day? Really?

Tell me about one of your worst days – nothing tragic – more along the lines of a day where everything went wrong. A day that felt like it would never end, but one that, now that it’s over, you look back on and you can actually laugh about it because it really was kind of funny or ridiculous.

One of my funny bad day memories happened when I was about 10 years old. I had come to Toronto with my parents for my brothers wedding. On that day my sister and her boyfriend took me out shopping in downtown Toronto. My aunt was going to meet me at a bus stop and then I’d get a drive with my aunt and uncle to a suburb of the city (Richmond Hill) where my parents would be waiting in a the hotel for me. We were then going to get ready and go to the church to attend my brothers wedding.

Well the shopping trip with my sister and her boyfriend turned out ok, but it went down hill from the time I got off the bus. My sister had stayed on the bus to return to her home. I was to get off and wait for my aunt to meet me on the corner. She never came. I called my uncles house but there was no answer. Now remember I’m a 10 year old kid, standing on a street corner all by myself in a very big city that I’m unfamiliar with. I started to get scared.

I kept trying to call my sister and eventually got her but for some reason she couldn’t come back to get me. I think she had to have her hair done for the wedding since she was in the wedding party. She must have called my parents or my brother though, because about an hour and a half after I’d gotten off the bus my brothers car pulled up. He’d driven for 40 minutes or so to come and rescue me and it was his wedding day!

Ok I guess that’s not that funny a story when I look back on it – but I can laugh a bit about it now. Everything that happened was all because of miscommunications. I think it was really my aunts fault that I didn’t get picked up as I should have been, but my sister was the one that got blamed in the end.

As bad as my day was it doesn’t compare to this guys bad day:



Owwwwwwwww!!!!

Early celebration dooms racer

by

Have you ever congratulated yourself or someone else just a little too early?

You know like Faith Hill did at the music awards two weeks ago? Smiling and cheering when the winner was announced and starting to move towards the stage the tiniest bit then the name that was announced sank in and she realized it wasn’t her name? Yeah, she says she was just acting or fooling around but I think she really thought she won.

Ok, so you know what kind of situation I’m talking about now.

Watch this video then- it’s very short – and see a very good example of why you shouldn’t celebrate until you win the race.



Weird things happen to me

by

Last Thursday evening I was sitting on the couch. My husband and I had just eaten dinner and I was talking to him. I can’t remember what I was talking about – what was on TV perhaps? Anyway, at the end of whatever I was saying I made a weird noise that involved me sticking out my tongue or twisting it around and moving my head to the side at the same time. It was supposed to be a funny sound to punctuate whatever I was talking about I guess.

Yes, you know I’m weird, don’t look at me that way!

Right after I did that I had extreme pain under my jaw on the right side. The pain traveled to the back of my throat, the top of my head. WTF? It hurt to swallow. OMG what did I just do to myself? And how? All I did was make a funny sound. People do that every day don’t they? Why the hell was it hurting so much?

I must have pulled a muscle in the base of my tongue or some muscle just under my jaw. Now who does that? No one! No one but super klutzy me that is. I hoped the pain would ease off in a few minutes. You know like when you hit your elbow. It hurts like crazy when you bang your elbow but five minutes later you can barely remember that you hit it. It took until the next day before it didn’t hurt or feel funny.

I’m shaking my head. You’d think that if I was going to pull a muscle in my tongue or jaw that I’d at least be doing something interesting or erotic when it happened.
