Argh. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. All things being equal, I'd rather
lay my eggs, frankly.
Did you know that there is a theory somewhere that the reason women get so cranky around menstruation is that, subliminally, we are just pissed off that our egg is again going unfertilized - we're mourning the loss of our dead egg. Personally, I think it's the gut-wrenching cramps and the wad of cotton we have to insert every month.
Another thought: Most women have about a 2 week window in which our hormones are relatively stable. That means, we are our hormone-free selves for only about half our lives - and if you have a couple of kids, it's even less. Jeepers. And I don't even want kids.
I apologize to any male readers in the cyber-audience. It's just one of those days. Also, it's my birthday tomorrow, so you all better remember.
Just a suggestion.
