I think that was her way of making sure I'd didn't mourn her when seh left for good. She surprised me a couple of months ago with a short drop-in visit, but I don't expect to see her again, and you know, it's okay.Rev Dr Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11607665272056430039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10838182.post-1151660483993226122006-06-30T02:41:00.000-07:002006-06-30T02:41:00.000-07:00Great post.

Do I miss her? Yes, I have to say that I do miss her, just a bit. <BR/><BR/>Mostly what I miss is that feeling on day two or three when all the bloat has gone away and you feel downright thin compared to a few days earlier.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03407981987874669303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10838182.post-1151596991353328882006-06-29T09:03:00.000-07:002006-06-29T09:03:00.000-07:00Aunt Flo and I have an uncertain relationship; som...Aunt Flo and I have an uncertain relationship; sometimes we have a great visit, and sometimes it's a screaming match. Sometimes she doesn't bother to come; sometimes she comes early. Sometimes she brings her close friend, MS Mood. Sometimes she's, um, generous, and other times stingy. <BR/><BR/>I just don't know about her anymore.<BR/><BR/>Right now, I'm feeling so awful from other stuff, I wish she had decided on the hotel. But no--and she didn't bring chicken soup, either.Rainbow Pastorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16294525557328362313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10838182.post-1151593937206638902006-06-29T08:12:00.000-07:002006-06-29T08:12:00.000-07:00I am not too sure I look back with fondness over A...I am not too sure I look back with fondness over Aunt Flos visits, but it was a bit of a shock when she left for good prematurely following a time of great stress, declaring she'd had enough and that was that!<BR/>I guess I am still getting used to the fact that she has gone.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759963926280667938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10838182.post-1151561257289910182006-06-28T23:07:00.000-07:002006-06-28T23:07:00.000-07:00i remember the time in college when Hugo (Aunt Flo...i remember the time in college when Hugo (Aunt Flo with a sex change) visited for a *whole year* and made me think i had some weird ovarial thing going on. doctor just looked at me, my wacked out hair and crazy eyes and said, 'senior year stress. go on the pill.'<BR/><BR/>and now,for the last week or so, Hugo has intermittently teased me with his presence - so that i can't fully trust myself to wear my really great white bootcut jeans, yet!! damn Hugo!<BR/><BR/>but thanks for this. the best post about Aunt Flo ever.Delia Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00433503510087047283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10838182.post-1151551723424031472006-06-28T20:28:00.000-07:002006-06-28T20:28:00.000-07:00you know you can borrow my aunt anytime :)you know you can borrow my aunt anytime :)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18117461119651369877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10838182.post-1151532626871990982006-06-28T15:10:00.000-07:002006-06-28T15:10:00.000-07:00Awwww.

I can't say that me and flo have the same relationship - she's kinda rough with me, month after month, and she seems to be really close with ms. moods, because no matter what I do, they rule in my body once a month.<BR/>Brilliant.

Now that he's in a better mood, she's a little more normal. Still, it would be nice if she's visit on her monthly schedule again.Sherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17047910532698169213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10838182.post-1151528807172118892006-06-28T14:06:00.000-07:002006-06-28T14:06:00.000-07:00Oh, gosh.

My son and I are just finishing up our extended visit from Cousin Lacy the lactation milkmaid, so I assume she'll be back pretty soon.

It's ghastly. I've been telling myself that it's kind of an evolutionary acceptance thing. It has become this awful so that I will be glad when it's gone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
