I never use the calendar. It can be bad, I guess if I want to know it's going to be on time. But then again, I kinda know when it has been quite some time. But then again, I may not need a calendar since I'm right with the moon. ;D

Just something I was thinking of.
Why is it that whenever a woman gets mad and is not afraid to show her anger that the blame immediately gets put on PMS? Is it because some men don't want to grow up and admit that they may have done something wrong to hurt her? Is it that some other woman just want to make herself look good and self-controlled? What is that all about? If someone is aggrivating you does it really make sense that you would wait until you are going through PMS to stand up for yourself? I mean, I'm not saying that bad things don't happen when the hormones are raging. But aren't we in an age and time where science has been able to at least figure out at least half of what's going on when a woman is nearing her monhtly cycle? Are some men and women really that immature and ignorant that they think the ice age is really the best time in history?

I think for the most part women are just coming to the point again in history where they are informed of their monthly cycle and getting to know more about it. And education in school gives some information to a young lady , but doesn't give much info a bout a female's cycle to the young boys.
A lot of people are ignorant on how the female body works, it can be quite the mystery to even doctors. However that doesn't give people the right to just joke when a woman's angry and ask "is it your time of the month?" because that really makes me mad. My dad even calls it "poor me syndrome". Yeah, right.
A lot of young ladies are not informed on birth control either, me, even. I have to take birth control now because of the side effects of a seizure medication. I 'm not wild about it because i have no real idea how to start it. Later on in life I'd have to be off seizure meds if I wanted to have a child b ecause of the severe defects. Not to whine, but, I was given the perscription in the docs office and he totally left me withno info. So here I was at home going..uh..how do I handle this ?
I think in a lot of situations they just leave it to the woman to figure her cycle and her moods out. That's all it is to most, just a "mood"...no excuse, get over it, or whatever. It's still too taboo to talk about it most circles, men and women do not talk about it. There seems not to be a fine line, it's either someone thinks that the pms thing is a terrible thing or they think it's nothing to get in an uproar really about, or pay attention to. You don't get the line of "it's normal, here's what's going on" and are given the full details. But it's not that way, it just is what it is.

I definately agree that it's still considered taboo. It's definately not a "poor me" syndrome because the hormones are raging and more than normal. Various things in the body are affected and mood is one of them. I don't see the mentrual cycle as something to pity, yet when I'm angry during that time, I'm usually a hell of a lot meaner than normal. Why would that possibly be?
I think it's bull that some doctors won't acknowledge that it's hormones even after many studies point to it. They really think that since we know it's coming, it's time to start acting like a female dog. So what is it when men have emotional problems and outbursts?
