BHRT
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is not a subject for the unprepared. It is a subject that requires the user to be firm, be consistent, and be knowledgeable. Be prepared to be met with hostility. That is what I am currently enduring. As a result of a total hysterectomy, my body was thrown into surgical induced menopause which is more violent than natural menopause. Naturally occurring menopause is a gradual decline in hormonal activity or balance. Surgical induced menopause symptoms may take several days before the effects of having zero reproductive hormones take effect.
Then, holy hell! Watch out! Take your children and run … fast … and far away! Medusa has just entered the room.
This once fun-loving, quirky, energetic blonde has morphed into an unrecognizable, possibly inhumane being. Cute no longer fits her description. She has developed Tourette’s (or diarrhea of the mouth). If she has to drag her saggy derriere out of bed, be forewarned. Do not under any circumstances ask her anything. She is completely focused on making it to the bathroom before leakage becomes apparent. Energy is a distant and foggy memory. Fun requires that she smile and that’s just too much effort at this point. And loving – yeah … well. She does love you. Just don’t press her about it.
So where does one go from here? How does she pull herself up from the gates of hell? She could pop a synthetic pill. But what if they make her puke? The toilet doesn’t need any more contaminants even though it’s an inanimate object. Bioidenticals becomes her only option. It’s a logical option since she has always been concerned with her health and what chemicals she ingests.
One of her doctors says she doesn’t need Estrogen. What about the river running from her boobs down her legs as she taps out a simple email (with head laying on desk). How does she thwart the goose-bumps when she’s neither cold nor hot? How about that theory of going outside with a wet head? It’s kind of unavoidable when sweat is the name of the game 24/7.
The other doctor insists that synthetic hormones are just fine. Yeah – tell that to someone who doesn’t feel like she is dying … literally. Don’t ever say to your patient that BHRT is a load of b.s. Don’t judge what you don’t understand.
A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market, is afraid of its people.
~ John F. Kennedy, 1962
So why don’t we understand the value or even more simply, the concept, of BHRT? Because the government is secretly Nazi’s. They don’t want you to know because they haven’t figured out a way to capitalize on it yet. Once they do, BHRT will be expensive and the public will be duly educated as to the amazing health benefits of this newly discovered science.
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as self-evident.
~ Arthur Schopenhauer, German Philosopher (February 22, 1788–September 21, 1860)
If you think the above quote is nonsense, think about the sheer hell Galileo Galilei (and many other great thinkers) went through when he had the audacity to suggest that the Earth moves and the Sun stands still at the center. He was labeled ‘crazy’. The notion that his hypothesis contradicted scripture was considered blasphemy. He was severely punished by the church. Now, we know this to be truth and embrace the idea as it should have been in 1616.

Ruby & the Rockits
Alright folks! Those of us who grew up in the 80′s will surely appreciate the wacky getups and dancing performed by the two brothers, Patrick and David. And of course, who can forget the signature “cat crawl” performed so animatedly by Audie? This is a 10 thumbs up, wholesome family show. It is reticent of the sort of TGIF sitcoms we were spoiled on ABC. No one can forget the side splitting antics of Erkel on Family Matters, or the totally rockin’ dude, Cody, on Step-by-Step, or even Balky who came from Mypos on Perfect Strangers. Ahhh … those were the days. And guess what? They’re baaack! Yippee!
It’s no big secret that I was slated to marry teen idol Shaun Cassidy. I never had the chance to tell him, though. I faithfully watched every episode of the Hardy Boys, owned every album, and wore ANYTHING that had Shaun Cassidy’s beautiful face on it – including my satin Shaun Cassidy jacket. It was the bomb! Then I got ketchup on it from a slide (why the ketchup was there, I will never know). My aunt took it to the cleaners, and I never got that jacket back. She probably pocketed the cash, too! I was devastated.
I was also a fan of the Partridge Family, but David couldn’t hold a candle to Shaun. Not in my eyes anyway. :) But you can see the Cassidy brothers once again in a new sitcom on ABC Family.
Property of ABC Family
Ruby and The Rockits follows Patrick Gallagher, a former teen idol who has chosen to lead a quiet life with his wife Audie (herself an ex-80′s music video dancer) and two sons. But when his former Rockits band mate and brother, David, shows up unexpectedly with his new-found teenage daughter in town, the Gallagher family’s life becomes anything but normal. David, who refuses to give up his past glory days, comes to Patrick for help raising Ruby while he continues to perform. Patrick must now put the past with David behind them in order to help raise Ruby and keep order within the rest of the Gallagher clan. Ruby and The Rockits was written by former teen idol Shaun Cassidy and Ed Yeager, with teleplay by Ed Yeager. Former teen idol David Cassidy (“The Partridge Family”), his brother Patrick Cassidy (“Smallville”), Katie A. Keane, Alexa Vega (“Spy Kids”), and Austin Butler (“Zoey 101″) star in the series.

Always Check Your Child’s Homework!
A first grade girl handed in the drawing below for a homework assignment.
After it was graded and the child brought it home, she returned to school the next day with the following note (names have been changed):
Dear Mrs. Jones,
I wish to clarify that I am not now, nor have I ever been, an exotic dancer.
I work at Home Depot and I told my daughter how hectic it was last week before the blizzard hit. I told her we sold out every single shovel we had, and then I found one more in the back room, and that several people were fighting over who would get it. Her picture doesn’t show me dancing around a pole. It’s supposed to depict me selling the last snow shovel we had at Home Depot.
From now on I will remember to check her homework more thoroughly before she turns it in.
Sincerely,
Mrs.Smith
