the period.

so I'm not talking about a period after a sentence, you know like as in grammar and stuff. I'm talking about that monthly thing women get. our period. you know. it causes all manner of annoyances. Let's see 1. no sex (apparently this is debatable depending on who you are. yuck!) 2. bleeding like stuck pig for days (lovely) 3. bloating (because I love feeling like an f'in whale) 4. cramps (I'm a sadist so this doesn't bother me. NOT!) 5. wearing a tampon or a pad (nasty) 6. some people get nautious or have diahrrea (not a nice side affect) 7. moody 8. pms I feel like I'm missing something here...

Anywho, I was chatting last night with a friend of mine and we were discussing all the different things you call it or refer to it as (to say it politely). So I thought I'd post about it today.

Feel free to add your own to my list. I find interesting what people refer to it as.

• My period
• Aunt flow
• On the rag
• Riding the cotton pony
• Womanly thing (LOL)
• Surfing the Crimson Wave
• that Time of the Month
• Big Red
• Royal Flood
• Bloody Mary
• The Curse
• Aunt Dot

That's all I can think of right now. Any more?

Monthlies is what I've heard old ladies call them.

My sister and I call tampons harpoons.

I can't believe what you put on here sometimes. You're so funny.

You seriously need to change your header. Christmas is so over.

A friend of mine, she's older, calls tampons Gizmos. LOL

Yeah, I know. I need to change it. I just haven't gotten around to it. Should I do a spring thing or go right to summer? :)

I've got another one. Harry Gina got a nosebleed. LOL
