oh for the good old days

13 years ago

hi all,

just feel like ranting today. I really wish I was still having regular periods cos it would be better than this bloody menopause. I've had enough of the headaches,the hot flashes,the weirder symptoms that my GP says has nothing to do with menopause. When,when, when will it all end. I feel like screaming.................

hi beauty,
how are you? I thought you had given up with this forum. I was having a rant on the day I posted cos I had a few of the odder symptoms returning. However, at the moment I'm not too bad which is nice. I hope you are ok, but it seems you're going through the same as me. Some days I can be fine and then bam! out of the blue I'm dizzy, headaches, nausea, fatigue that is just overwhelming. The night sweats aren't shifting either although the flashes during the day aren't too bad. I found an old diary recently and believe it or not, it has been 10 years (yes 10) since I first started feeling bad! It has been one hell of a roller coaster ride believe me.

I think I started coming in to GWGJ about 2000 when I got my first computer. I am sure I had a different name. Lost my password and had to change. Might have been Tucker. I do not remember. I remember Jean in Wa and Wonder where Wendy is Do you all remember the Blue Moon night we all did some thing special and had an online party? I think it was 2004 or 2005. I had so many picture of stuff we all did back then but lost most in a computer crash. I have learned to back up. This post was edited by shades_of_idaho on Sun, May 11, 14 at 16:52

Debra, you are such a bad influence. (smile, smile, and ka-ching, ka-ching). I think I can't live without WESTBOURNE GOOD OLD DAYS. It looks like just the kind of happy exuberant plant that I love. But where, oh where, will I put her. Something has to go. YES, that awful May Night Salvia, it's pretty for about one week, then it flops, has ugly brown spikes and smells bad. Eeuuww. Thank you for all the beautiful photos, and I especially like when you re-post about the same plant. Christine

Bob - The Trimmer seedling was accidentally sent to me as a bonus. The pots had gotten mixed in with his Charleston Charm. It must be a sibling to his intro Santa Clara, which is Orange Blossom Trail X Mexican Elvis. It has a very large bloom - 7 inches - when its not recurving. It only recurves when temps are extremely hot. The bud count is good, and it reblooms well. I imagine this one did not get introduced because the pencil edge does not go completely around the bloom. Also, it is a reluctant pod setter. I haven't tried its pollen on anything yet. If you want a piece of it next Spring, I could sent you some. It is an evergreen.
