You just made the scary intensity of aging both real and hilarious- thank you for your candor and wit! You’ve had quite some journeys: so glad your body is still enabling you to travel onwards! Chin hairs and wrinkles, here we come!

What a fun ride, at least it was for me!!!

You Jen, maybe not so much haha.

I'm reminded of the grandmother's rollercoaster story in Ron Howard's 1989 movie Parenthood.

"I always wanted to go again. You know, it was just so interesting to me that a ride could make me so frightened, so scared, so sick, so excited, and so thrilled all together! Some didn't like it. They went on the merry-go-round."

Well done! I've been on many of these rides and glad that some, like the Raging Red Rapids, are behind me. Not that menopause is a 24/7 party. I guess we just spend our lives exchanging one small horror for another LOL

Thank you! I'm finally done with the Raging River Rapids and the Escape Womb as I had a hysterectomy two years ago. OMG--my uterus was a freaking disaster. So much worse than the sonogram revealed. I am thrilled to be done with it.
