Hahaha, I have issues with the Kroger self-checkout as well. The caffeine of choice that I’m addicted to is green tea…it’s pretty strong stuff because we get the kind grown in Japan. The only thing that weans me off it is when I get really busy and I opt to sleep in a bit later over getting up to make it. I really should try working harder at getting up earlier, ah well!

I love how you tell a story…off to add you to my feed reader, lols.

OK, first, I love the fact that your cat is named Walter Mitty.

As for the coffee — I’m the same way. HAVE TO HAVE IT! And my need is so great, I probably would have slunk back into the grocery store, even after an altercation with an employee. Sad, I know. It’s the one vice I can’ imagine giving up. And it’s not just the caffeine, but the ritual …

Note to self: Beware of blind, menopausal cat owners in need of caffeine.

Actually it does happen to men too. It’s called “andropause.” Please don’t ask me how I learned this little know fact last year.

I totally understand
my husband says I’m like his furnance,I radiate heat.
we have had very talkative cats,inflection on their tone I think is key,everyone that heard Marmalade laughed,it always sounded like she said RIGHT NOW.if you told wait a minute or just a second.
coffee is a must for me,and please don’t talk to me and want answers before the first cup is downed.
Kroger kids here are pretty good and mannerly,but the ones at walmart that act like you are an annoyance to their days irks me to no end. Linda

Hey Linda! Thanks for coming in to comment! Yes, I know what you mean about answering questions before that first cup of coffee. And, I’m with you ALL THE WAY on the heat. My cats all talk to me in different tones, too, but do you notice they don’t “talk” to each other? Mind don’t. I wonder if all cats are that way?~skt

Caffeine addictions and menopause? LOL Oh my, sweetie, been there, done that–still do actually! and I think “Evil Twin” is a perfect description.

In your defense, though, the service in stores is ridiculous. Anytime you ask for something that’s the reaction you get. My daughter just got her frist job and I told her if she does that to someone, I will personally come whack her over the head. I can’t stand that…..It’s about time some nice person snapped and told them off! Maybe the word will spread over to all the other grocery stores and you’ll have made the world a better place

And…just one bit of advice…I know you said not to tell you, but I’m going to anyway…A lovely procedure put my into surgical menopause at 33. Supposedly, that’s worse because it happens all at once instead of gradually, but it was bad. I, too, opted for the no hormone route initially, but like you I couldn’t sleep because of night sweats and hot flashes. My hands and joints also got so achy they screened me for rheumatoid arthritis. My eyes and my skin dried out and I was just so uncomfortable that the doctor convinced me to try a very low dose of hormones for a while. I did and while the symptoms didn’t entirely disappear on the lowest dose, it was much better. Because of my age, I ended up taking them for 5 years until the symptoms completely vanished. I now have no hormones but no symptoms either. There is light at the end of the tunnel!!! Hang in there!!!

Completely done with menopause and STILL a rock chick

Jessica

So jealous of the completely done part of that comment, Jessica. Mine are actually a lot better than they have been, but if they clear up completely WHAT WILL I COMPLAIN ABOUT?? Yeah, kids are smart aleck, and parents don’t teach them any better. I watch parents let their kids talk back to them, and all I can think is, “That’s gonna come back to bite you in the butt!”~skt
