I'm getting too damn old (I'm 60 now). When I can't roll myself out of bed without being in pain (from my left hip that needs replaced) and vocalizing it, well...... I'm just not ready to hang up my gun belt yet because I've been through a lot worse and survived however...... I will say this.... Getting Old Sucks The Big One!
Suck it up old man!
I'm not your age yet but am feeling the hormone hell that menopause is. Guys, be kind to your wives/partners when the hormones screw with her six ways from Sunday. It's no joke.

What if she spazzes out and it’s just a female thing not related to menopause? I mean, chicks are crazy! We really ought to be awarded some kind of medal for dealing with their [BLEEP] at times. Like, has your hubby ever left for work happy, then come home after being at work and gone for 10+ hours and been pissed at you? Right off the bat? I’m guessing not. We, as men, sometimes need a Rosetta Stone or alcohol to deal with that crap.
Ps. Sorry you’re old.

I'm not saying we're easy to deal with but some of that is reacting to you guys.
Or the kids, but I've never raised them so I don't know how that works but I imagine it's similar. And for real, the pressure from society for women to be able to "do it all" to an unachievable standard is unbelievable. Or the pressure to "have it all" has pushed women who would like to stay home and actually raise their kids and such to work as well as do the shopping, cooking, cleaning, child rearing, etc. I know you men have your own pressures, but guys are mostly chill about stuff and a lot of their stress comes from a different source. Women are definitely more reactive then men. So glad I'm not a dude or a lesbian. I'd have to be celibate.
My husband works night shift, 12 hours with a 2 hour round trip commute so he comes home and showers and goes to bed. Fourteen hours is a long night and there's not much turnaround time before he's back at it so we don't really spend a lot of time together to be honest. When he retires it's going to be weird. Lol.
And I'm not old. I'm seasoned.

I'm lucky to have a wife who was never hormonal. During her time of the month, and then in menopause, she was always even keeled. Never was she weepy or angry or overly sensitive.

I don’t remember the movie, but for some reason I’m thinking it’s something with Steve Martin. No idea why he pops in my head for that.

Mine are more along the lines of fatigue, insomnia, horrific headaches that can incapacitate me for a day or so, brain fog, and so on. I do tend toward hormonal depression if I don't stay on top of my treatment plan. That hit me like a Mack truck last fall and it wasn't until springtime came around that it was brought under control. I don't even want to read anything I said here during that time.
All that being said, I washed the entire outside of my house with a hose and a bucket of water and Mold Armour over two days last week
and got some yard work done. I felt pretty darn good most of the week. Today was a hard one with the headache so I had to watch the Jags game with the volume super low and the blinds and curtains closed against the sunlight.
I feel like I should know that quote.....

You did okay during that time. I’ve been called worse than “a degenerate no account bastard”, not a big deal.
It’s always best to watch Jags games like that. You don’t want the neighbors to know.
It's cold in Pennsylvania.. That's all..

Yes. With John Candy.

what’s funny is when you said sounded like a Steve Martin thing, I was thinking I could see John Candy saying that. I googled the line and saw he was actually in the movie he was looking for. I don’t remember fully watching the movie though.

Neither Martin nor Candy said it. The dude that picked them up in the pickup truck said it.

I am aware of that after searching for the line. There was a few videos of the actor that said it. That’s when I saw other clips with Candy. I thought it was weird/funny that she was thinking Martin and I thought Candy and found that both were in the movie. And the fact that neither said it made it even more odd/weird, whatever.
Like I said, I don’t recall seeing the movie despite hearing a lot about it. With those guys in it, I may just have to find it on Netflix, on demand, etc. seems like something up my alley.

hwut? an absolute classic.
Definitely best turkey day movie out there. It is annual viewing in our household. Although Steve Martin's airport diatribe is a bit NSFkids.
