I will never be good at positive thinking. But I don’t think the prez would put me at jackass level .

My dad was the assistant DA. When he was talking business, he was very politically correct and well spoken. But when he thought he was speaking off the record to friends or family, he would sometimes call people jackasses.

I didn’t think I was feeling any touchier than usual, but considering someone commented on my blog that I rant too much, maybe I am. I told my husband the other night that I was going to try to be more positive, but when so many things I see on TV/the net make me want to bitch-slap someone, it’s hard. Best advice I’ve heard – even if it’s silly – is to put all the negativity in a big bubble and blow the bubble away. (With air, though, not a shotgun. )

Progesterone from soy? That’s interesting because I always thought soy was a protoestrogen, not a protoprogesterone. Live and learn!

I have to second the vote for filtering. It’s why I JUST DONT FOLLOW SOME PEEPS–or read some blogs. It’s just better that way.

>>The question in my mind is, did the president have to say ANYTHING one way or the other?

I have to agree. FWIW It’s not estrogen but progestrone from soy.

The question in my mind is, did the president have to say ANYTHING one way or the other? I don’t think so. To me, it only draws more attention to the behavior and that, to me, almost legitimizes it, no matter the condemnation.

I agree with you on the smiling even when it hurts…and on the filtering. I’m definitely going to have to do more filtration.

No it doesn’t help the tenor, but I think I respect him a little more. Think of the backlash if he said anything encouraging of the behavior.

Anyway, I’ve been touchy. I’ve been filtering myself from letting it leak out in the things I write and how I interact with people. Not sure if it’s working, but I haven’t been asked lately, “Are you okay?”

I believe in the power of smiling even when it hurts ’cause sooner or later it won’t. I’m living proof.

Not sure about HRT for me. Last time I took anything with estrogen in it (regular birth control pills), they turned me into a raging bitch with high blood pressure, lol. And, well, I shouldn’t need it…yet!

What I do need is a good massage. That spa weekend sounds like a great idea .

Funny Mel just blogged about this Monday at SFC.

Can I just give a shout – out to Hormone Replacement Therapy? I think everyone should do it. Then, shut of your interwebz and shut off the news and go sit outside, go read a book, go for a walk, go play video games with your kids, go take a spa weekend.
