Subject: RE: Music for Menopause From: Art Thieme Date: 30 Dec 03 - 03:17 PM ON FOLK LEGACY---Lucy Simpson singing "Time Has Made A Change In Me". (sriously) Check with Sandy. On another note: menopause has made me see women more positively than before. I never, ever could trust something that'd bleed that long and not die. ;-) But now... Art Thieme |

Subject: RE: Music for Menopause From: GUEST,saff Date: 29 Dec 03 - 04:55 PM Martin would she kill you because shes menopausal or is it that time of the month or is she naturally a "mean and wicked woman with a sharp and vicious tounge". |

Subject: RE: Music for Menopause From: Herga Kitty Date: 29 Dec 03 - 04:15 PM I heard a great song in the Endeavour at Whitby Folk Week in August, to the tune of Clementine. The chorus went something like, Menopausal, menopausal, menopause has done for me, and my hormones need replacing menopause has done for me. The verses record increasingly severe levels of decrepitude (including lost limbs) which the doctor, when consulted, invariably attributes to the menopause... Kitty |

Subject: RE: Music for Menopause From: GUEST,saff Date: 29 Dec 03 - 01:44 PM I suppose the menopause misery women have to suffer replaces the P M T misery that men have had to suffer at the hands of women, as in the Martin Nesbitt song the P M T RAP. I got married to a woman with a real bad monthly temper She rants and she raves, from January to December I asked her once "Whats wrong with you,why do you always start on me"? She curled her lip and snarled, and she said P M T Shes a mean and wicked woman with a sharp and vicious tounge That bloodshot glazed look in her eye, tells me its time to run And if I try to calm her down, its a total waste of time She turns into a female Tyson, a real life Frankenstein. Chorus Yelling and screaming and throwing things around Pots and clocks and furniture, broken on the ground Banging and crashing, her face a twisted scowl and when she turns to pick on me, do not hang around cos I run, and I hide, cos I get scared, shes bloody wild A month ago on monday, she hit me with a brick I spent a week in hospital and three weeks on the sick I thought that I might change her if I threatened I would leave her She kicked my leg and bit me and chased me with a cleaver (and she was) Chorus I admit she has her good points, in fact she has a few and if you get to meet her, maybe you might like her too Be careful what you say to her, in case you might upset her Im told that by late middle age, the change will make things better And if you get to meet her, don't you tell her what I said For you can guarantee one fine day, I will wake up dead And standing by my body with blood dripping from a knife Will be that snarling monthly pain, my P M T life of a wife. (and she'll be) Chorus |

Subject: RE: Music for Menopause From: Kim C Date: 29 Dec 03 - 12:38 PM GUEST, a woman doesn't have to be THAT old for menopause to start. I'm only 36 and am already having some pre-menopausal happenings. I've read I could endure them for 10-15 years before I actually hit menopause. Isn't that fun?!!!? |

Subject: RE: Music for Menopause From: Jeanie Date: 29 Dec 03 - 07:39 AM Ho, ho John....but, woe is me, await the arrival of the Valkyries, in retaliation ;-) "man" originally meant "adult human being of either gender". The distinction was made, in Old Germanic, between a gom-man (male) and a wif-man (female). Men were originally "gooms". A "bridegroom", for instance, was originally called a "brideGOOM" (a bride's man). Once the word "goom" had disappeared from the language, the letter "r" was added by analogy with the word "groom". Eeh, bah goom - it's true, lad (or, should I say, goom) ! - jeanie |

Subject: RE: Music for Menopause From: John MacKenzie Date: 29 Dec 03 - 04:54 AM That is why the normal description for persons ons of the non male gender, is woman. This being a corruption of the old Norse "Woe to man" John...Sits back and waits for flack.;-)> |

Subject: RE: Music for Menopause From: GUEST,Martin Gibson Date: 28 Dec 03 - 12:34 AM I am sick of all the bad rap men get. Why not call it "womenopause"? It's actually more appropriate. |

Subject: RE: Music for Menopause From: freda underhill Date: 26 Dec 03 - 05:27 PM here is another menopause blues (poem) The Menopause Blues You may think I'm old and I'm wrinkly, My body's a terrible state. My hair's going grey, I suppose you might say, I'm well past my 'Best Before Date'. I think that my hearing is muffled, I know that my teeth are all plastic. I'm blind as a bat, but I'm grateful for that - The view in the mirror's less drastic. I'm obeying the old law of gravity, And if it commands me much more, I'll have rucksacks for eyes, boobs down to my thighs And my buttocks will drag on the floor. At aerobics I'd drown out the music, With that Godawful cracking and creaking, And I'd just feel like shit if I tried to 'keep fit', My joints would protest with loud squeaking. I'm not into jogging or swimming, It's too much like strenuous toil, My body won't take it: I can't even fake it With gallons of 3-in-one oil. But before you throw me on the scrap-heap, Or have me put down by the vet. Just wait, hold the zimmer. There might be a glimmer Of hope for the old baggage yet. There's a lot to be said for experience, It wasn't all trouble and strife. Just let me have fun with somebody's son, And I'll soon spring back into life. I could do with a nice little toy-boy, I'd teach him a lesson or two. Or perhaps three or four, then maybe some more, Let's see what an old girl can do. I've learned quite a lot in my lifetime, Like how to be free and inventive, The physical jerks would themselves be the perks, Now that's what I call incentive. As much as I've gained in endurance, In exchange, I've lost inhibitions. I'm raring to go and show what I know, For hours, without intermissions. Or maybe I'll go for an old one, A 'dirty' old man, I just might. So long as he's clean, and I know where he's been, And he brings his own box of Yeast-Vite. Though he might be a little bit slower, At least he'd have more staying powers. Though he may be wizened, once it has risen He could possibly go on for hours. An older man might have his drawbacks, No hair, a loose denture that chatters. But while he's not flagging, I won't mind him sagging So long as it's not where it matters. But having said that, on reflection, A young stud sounds much more appealing. And if he's too fast, and can't make it last, I'll cry out "Now once more with feeling". When I was younger I worried, About morals too numerous to mention. Someone who's older can be so much bolder, And stuff all that pointless convention. My creative streak has run riot, There are no longer rules to the game. I can play how I like and become an old bike, Who cares if I get a bad name. When I was young I was pretty, I had men lined up in a queue. But I sent them away, too frightened to play, Sex was something that 'nice' girls don't do. Then later on I got married, And sex was a matter of course. Once it was duty it lost all it's beauty, To regain it I filed for divorce. But sexual power is fleeting, Before you know it, it's lost. Who wants to be naughty with frumpy at 40? I'm now finding out to my cost. I'm left with a bit of a problem, Now I'm ready, geared up for the kill. Outside of the blind, it's so hard to find, At my age, a lover who WILL. To any young woman who'll listen, I'd say without shadow of doubt. Have fun and rejoice in your freedom of choice, Or else you might find you've missed out. Copyright; Stephanie Harness ps i'm now post menopausal - it all happened pretty quickly. and I have found it the most enjoyable part of my life so far. No more moods like roller coasters or PMT. i'm not taking hormones, so far my body seems to be functioning pretty much as it used to (minus the monthly visitor, who I was so glad to say goodbye to a couple of years ago. fred |

Subject: RE: Music for Menopause From: GUEST Date: 20 Nov 03 - 04:59 PM There's Marie-Lynn Hammond's "Menopause Blues" (Lyrics pasted from her web site): I'm a woman, I lead a woman's life I've had three kids, I've been a dutiful wife along the way I suffered every female complaint enough to try the patience of a female saint now I'm pushing fifty, figured I've paid my dues what's my reward? It's the menopause blues The menopause blues, the menopause blues hot flashes flashin' from your hair to your shoes brittle bones, insomnia and puttin' on weight except for the above I guess I'm feelin' great you say some women have no trouble, well thanks for the news the rest of us are stuck with the menopause blues I went to my doctor, I said is there a cure she bit her lip and handed me a pink brochure about the miracle of hormone replacement pills the modern way to fix those pesky change-of-life ills but oops! They might cause cancer - and I'm s'pposed to choose? Good luck with sorting out all your menopause blues The menopause blues, the menopause blues hot flashes flashin' from your hair to your shoes so where's the peace and wisdom that old age brings? I'm feelin' like a yo yo with these wild mood swings would Medicare reimburse me for a round-the-world cruise? I need a little compensation for these menopause blues They say don't fret over these changes that are comin' on the benefits may well outweigh the pains they tell us it's a natural phenomenon well so are earthquakes and hurricanes - and rattlesnakes! The menopause blues, the menopause blues hot flashes flashin' from your hair to your shoes at least there's no more unplanned pregnancy fear a pity my libido's also disappeared comin' soon to a body near you and you cannot refuse so we'd better get used to the menopause blues yes we'd better all get used to the menopause blues (hey is it just me or is it hot in here?) |

He'd been a member of the movement that spawned that little songbook, so he was very happy to get it. I sorry I not say so sooner. They say Cottonheadedness is a symptom. :~) Anyhow, music-- it can be so irritating at certain times! ~S~ |
