or is it my advancing years?

Do you get more intolerant as you get older?

I feel as though i am getting more unreasonable and cantankerous. sigh.

Help me be more patient/tolerant/socially acceptable.

I do think a home for Ladies with possible visitation rights for suitable Gentlemen.

speaking of undergarments onebatmother, have recently purchased two M & S thermal vests and have now gone back to purchase a further one...with sleeves. Automatic qualification to the Home i think.

Barnstaple LOL at 'drops of sugar', agree we have earned the right to a venting of intolerance on our nearest and dearest.

I am intolerant with other peoples lack of tolerance - if that makes sense.

Can't understand why people won't live and let live. It grieves me, really it does!

reminds me of an old folk's home I worled in once. It was set up for Ladies of means. They were clearly bats

OP Rosybud. How old are you, really??? Are you qualified to use the phrase "my advancing years?" The public has a right to know!!!

'clearly bats'.. and your point is, pointydog??

this thread is starting to echo with the moans of bonkers semi-menopausal women...

a Lady never reveals her age

agree, rosy, gentlemen callers should be vetted.
if only to protect the feegle-minded/weak-hearted from dingdong's unbuttoned blouse.

your undergarments sound very lovely.

That would be me then .although I think pre-menopausal. Might have another baby just to prove it

it weould prob be me as well, hmc. just don't want to admit it

i believe, pointydog, that aitch called me peri-menopausal, which was far more classy.

'feegle-minded', yeees, i like it.

oo, that is rather fancy

what does the peri bit mean? I can only think on perineal

so perineal means around your knees

gosh, she is clever that \aitch

or has very bad spelling and meant premenopausal. I leave it to you and your perineum to decide.

my perineum knows who's boss of this relationship

Can I just point out that I am the warden of the MN home for the terminally confused - see this thread, 21.30-ish onwards. And fgs put it away.

s'ok

it never sees the light of day

Perimenopause... a period of about 10 years prior to the menopause... symptoms characterised by tendenct towards confusion, loss of memory, inability to learn new skills and mood swings.

I am 46 so I suspect I may be a sufferer.

I explained this to my boss, who replied 'I shall remember to look out for that when the time comes, then!'

Should be 'tendency' of course. Didn't even mention inability to type/spell as a symptom!

oh god 40, that's almost depressed me. It's a medical term and I have it. Fackin hell.

And what's with the 'I suspect..'? Of course you';ve got it if you;re 46. Just when do you think you're going to get it exactly?
