Click the above link and vote, then refresh your vote page to make sure it registered. This is the link to vote for Candice A Donofrio. Candyland is a mad fun chicka with a great blog and I have to say the last line in her contest blurb made me spurt green tea through my nostrils. I love the unexpected. There is nothing quite like a genuine laugh to make the bad part of the day go away. It also makes a good day even better. Seriously... :-)

Her members only post is here: Just Call Me Bloggy-Anna

Oh, the naughty things I plan to do to Bloggy-Anna over there later on (LOL). My fave partial line from that post by my Club Chaos Activepeep? I quote: "Aside from the occasional, temporary crash/burns a 52-in-December-post-menopausal-married woman (juxtaposition thoroughly intentional)..."

Hahahahahaaaaa! Juxtaposition intentional, indeed (LOL). I shall have to try that... I love irony and feel a stellar high-jacking in the making if I manage to plant the right seeds of playful mayhem (LMAO). After all, it is a brief, somewhat semi-serious post, so make sure you vote for my gal pal because I want my bay-bay to win. She is a very talented and fun writer. Vote every single day because the rules allow it. Bookmark the page because it is always nice to help one of the bay-bays monetize their blog. Seriously. Who doesn't like money? (LOL)

Besides, it takes real guts to start a conversation about post-menopausal women. Most of us are in denial, you know. Who wants to talk about aging ungracefully and body parts sagging? Did you miss the part of the show where I recently got outclassed by two Grannys in my boxing class? Seriously. They had more cardio stamina than I did (LMAO). Why did I have the nerve, the audacity, the unmitigated gall to write that post? Besides the fact that it's true? (LOL) Hmm... Maybe because my brain was having a transparency seizure due to the creative, raging menopausal hormones spiraling out of control, determined to deprive me of sleep and common sense or was it because I actually enjoy laughing my a$$ off when I talk with you people about my day...

Daaaang... it may be a little or a lot of both. Who knew? (LOL)

The Road To Menopause is paved with hot flashes, mood swings, fuzzy thinking and a host of interesting symptoms lampooned and cartooned by a plethora of stellar satirists. When we creep into that virtual backyard of "no more children" "no more periods" "lots of freaky hormones" we actually are not quite sure when we realized we were no longer playing ball on our own organic home court. The only heads up I shall give the unsuspecting men reading my post tonight is the hint that menopause is not a button on your DVR or TIVO. It's the Change of Life Button that will make your bedroom a living hell if you don't pay attention when we significant others start acting more strange than usual. Since I was already quirky and strange, coming from me that is a very significant statement (LMAO). ;-)

Oh the interesting things I could say about my foray into the wonderful world of post-menopausal-married-people...(ROTFL). Notice how I dropped the woman part. Know why? PMS can also stand for Putting up with Men's Shit (LMAO). Mae West made a fabulous PMS quip: Marriage is a great institution, but I'm not ready to be institutionalized yet.

Ooooooo... Hubby disagrees. He says it means... well... er... um... Hmm... Seems he gave me something I can't tweet or repeat (LMAO). It appears I may have been hasty and wrong in my initial assessment of not giving you guys more of a heads up. If you are anything like Mikey (e.g. Mr Minion) then you obviously need a wee bit more help (LOL). After all, according to Mae, yall are institutionalized and my hesitation to quote his latest wise crack says a lot (LOL).

BTW, Male Menopause can be a fascinating Internet discussion, but I digress... We shall save that tasty mental morsel of men being on their version of "the rag" for another fun blog post. If Mikey keeps this banter up it may be coming real soon too... I may have to illustrate this so women engaged in manscaping can spot the tell tale symptoms and prepare some very creative diversions... (LOL)

Women can be very creative (LOL). You need to learn the difference between our normal and creative selves. Which trait is the more dangerous of the two depends upon the unique personality of the specific woman (LOL). Remember this quote: I'm a marvelous housekeeper. Every time I leave a man, I keep his house. - Zsa Zsa Gabor (LMAO). Tell me that doesn't make you pause for a second and wonder about the power of PMS to effect change in one's life. Wanna learn something new today inspired by Candyland? Hmm... I just bet you do... especially if I tell you a useful lady secret or two and you clicked her vote link and read that interesting little crack about the skull and cross bones undies (ROTFL). I bet you are wondering what you got yourself into by reading this post...

Today's Cow Pie Talking Point is on mad fun chickas with post menopausal tendencies and BananaTude who blog with transparency. If you have to ask what BananaTude is you obviously don't have any. That is a crying shame. You need to get some. Immediately. It will improve your blogging and virtual disposition (and sometimes your love life - LOL). Trust me. People with BananaTude are mad fun (LOL). They enjoy Silly Saturdays, chill in the Fraiche Air, hang out in Club Chaos and brag about their Family Ties while being Dedicated Bloggers and masters of all things Whacked, Jacked and TLW. When you master the art of creating original content like The lovely Wife, "Have You Seen My Goober?" doesn't seem like a strange question at all and The Crap Channel beats HBO hands down. Seriously (LOL).
