thanks toxic.
no, I was on the pill for most of my life, which made it all very easy. I never really had any sympathy for that excuse. When my employees booked off sick with the period I told the rest of the staff they had diahorria (sp) >I can't be bothered to look it up and spell it properly. >>>It was funny though.
Now that I'm cramping sideways I kinda wish I'd been a little more forgiving. But I've always been lucky.
I have a Hindu story: I have Indian friends. When they have parties and they have lots, a woman is not allowed to attend if she has the menses. So everyone knows how come she's not there. Does my head in. I respect their religion, but I'd sooner you taught your little girls that it's a natural and normal thing you're going to have to deal with >>>like doing the dishes, or queueing up at the checkout.
