Being "hot" once in a lifetime is quite enough for me, even though that ended somewhere in my 30's. (sigh) This age is funny in it's own way, there are some good photos still left in me, just take it from the "right angle" with the "right lighting". I think that I'll call this phase of my life my "Photographers hate me stage of life". Ya, that works. I can hear it now:<br /><br /> "How old are you?"<br /><br />"I'm at the Photographers hate me stage of my life. No more questions please." ;-)darlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04886502544010479581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-65841502724049685302012-03-09T07:08:14.201-08:002012-03-09T07:08:14.201-08:00I've got an industrial sized icemaker on order...I've got an industrial sized icemaker on order for when my hot flashes start coming on regularly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-17992217133757982632012-03-09T06:26:02.896-08:002012-03-09T06:26:02.896-08:00It was so nice, sseeing you in the line at the gr...It was so nice, sseeing you in the line at the grocery store that day...Dawn@Lighten Up!https://www.blogger.com/profile/06301481567651330133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-54569644324169613062012-03-09T06:21:13.866-08:002012-03-09T06:21:13.866-08:00You could possibly be the funniest woman on the pl...You could possibly be the funniest woman on the planet! :D I really hope that guy doesn't wash his hair.

I started flashing in '96 (at the tender age of not yet 40), and while the flashes have become less intense over the last few years, I still get them regularly. Early on, I found them analogous to earthquakes: when they start, you don't know how long they will last or how intense they will be. Gradually, though, I figured it out. It's a thermostat issue, and if you can AHEAD of the flash, it won't be so intense. I dress in layers, and the minute I feel a flash starting, I start to take things off. If I am successful in reducing the temperature OUTSIDE my body, the temp inside doesn't get so high. ...Now I need to figure out how to control earthquakes.Katie Gateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01264642384901419402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-35401737773909694202012-03-08T20:30:44.193-08:002012-03-08T20:30:44.193-08:00doesn't sound too much like fun - a way of kee...doesn't sound too much like fun - a way of keeping warm in a cold climate, perhaps.David Macaulayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14873439047946166820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-26975768619394292472012-03-08T20:04:56.167-08:002012-03-08T20:04:56.167-08:00This made me smile.

Obviously they are taught that a heavily perspiring red woman is a thief. They may need to revisit that training.
