Why dare I ask?!Jackie Kabler’s nickname, I think.

I’ve absolutely no idea because I didn’t “pen” the name. Maybe because the start of Kabler sounds like the start of cabbage? I’m probably wrong anyway.Why dare I ask?!
Yikes!!!!! I notices a bloodied pad too. I'd die if watching with parents.I too am sick to death of getting e mails, and all this sudden obsession with the menopause. I’ve just read an article on QVC stories by someone called Gabriella Espinosa, and quite honestly, words fail me. I’ve no idea who this woman is, and how she is connected to QVC, but what on earth has all this got to do with a shopping channel? Has anyone else read this, what are your views? Is it just me ? I’m also getting alarmed about the way adverts on main tv channels are heading, too graphic, woman sitting on the loo, blood on period pads, men’s erectile problems etc. I know that these problems shouldn’t be hidden away, but too graphic when you’re eating, or watching tv with your 13 year old grandson!
Is the blood still blue?Yikes!!!!! I notices a bloodied pad too. I'd die if watching with parents.
In Boots, the 'sanpro' area is now called Period Care - previously feminine hygiene....Fast fwd a few years & there is a huge 'X opens up about period misery' etc etc, & females sport t shirts/badges/bags with slogans like 'bleeding proud'....or something.... (sorry if pun sounds rude).
Or maybe a red lanyard/New silly pin badge (some sort of hearty uterus shape) to be worn, (optional) so we can all share when it's our 'time' & 'raise awareness'....
Fecking Hell!!!!
No, it's now red!!!!Is the blood still blue?
And you CAN buy badges and t-shirts saying that you are "on" even in the present day (I think I heard it on Woman's Hour lol)
For me, I wish things had been a bit different when I was a child. We had a lecture about periods at school when I was 11 but none of us understood it, it was quite scientific. When mine started my mum took me to the chemist and bought me these massive, horrendous pads and just said there's no need to tell your dad. Nowhere to go to find out anything, didn't feel I could talk to my mum or any other relative about it. It was a miserable time with PMS and headaches that lasted the whole week. Could have done with a bit more openess but not necessarily as much as today.I remember the time when we didn't even dare to say '*****', or ******, . and yes we didn't say 'periods' it was always "I'm on". I didn't even know what a clitoris was until I was out of my teens, and even then I didn't like to ask anyone where it was !!!!!
Were we more dignified and discreet back then ? and was that a good thing ? or is it better the way society is today when everything is spoken about and we have teenagers sexting each other ?
Hope she is enjoying being with Ruth Langsford this weekend near Billingsgate Fish Market.I’ve absolutely no idea because I didn’t “pen” the name. Maybe because the start of Kabler sounds like the start of cabbage? I’m probably wrong anyway.
For the record, Jackie is one presenter that I don’t mind watching.
Unfortunately, Ruth is someone I don’t enjoy watching.Hope she is enjoying being with Ruth Langsford this weekend near Billingsgate Fish Market.
There might be some fish left floundering () down in the basement.Unfortunately, Ruth is someone I don’t enjoy watching.
I wonder if everyone attending will be given a goody bag of fish?

My mother gave me a pamphlet to read all about periods,it was hidden in a brown paper bag. I sobbed and sobbed from the trauma When I did start she gave me an elasticated belt and the large pads with the loops to wear Scarred for life me!For me, I wish things had been a bit different when I was a child.

And so many of the discussions are about 'feeling hot,' and everlasting moaning about 'poor us.' This will be an unpopular comment, maybe, but I say, "Get on with it."It clearly is a problem for some women and there is nothing wrong with making it more of an open subject and being clear there is help available. However, I do dislike the way it is now being treated like an illness that everyone must start taking drugs for, even before it actually happens. This perimenopause "phase" is very woolly in its definitions. And I am also sick of bandwagon jumping slebs making a fortune out of it. Personally I didn't suffer any bad symptoms and I don't enjoy listening to discussions about it - makes me feel quite queasy, like biology lessons.
