The black pellets from the Chinese herbalist are at least $50/month & I refuse to pay for them. I also don’t take any medical prescriptions other than marijuana, of course (heh). My Indonesian friend ate seaweed as part of her diet thr’t her life & she claims she’s never had any symptoms of menopause whatsoever because of seaweed being a staple (and her doc seconded that opinion).
My advice to those of us MENopausal women & squids out there today is "pitch a tent" on a remote 
then nibble on some seaweed (before we deal with any more semen or seamen) & drive those ole whore-moanal, horror-moanal, or hormonal (whatever the fuck you wanna call ’em) rampantly evil darts into the ocean so it can swallow them up for good, rather than casting our crazy tentacles out to all those undeserving poor people out there who get enveloped by our cloudiness & drawn into our nastiness. Another piece of advice I have to give on the subject is to stay positive & busy, for if you keep your mind off both your real & imaginery symptoms altogether, you will find that life will be a breeze. Someone (XX) mentioned that you can also develop a face fulla zits when you go thru menopause & my best known cure for that is to get as much sunshine (& give as much sunflower 😉 as you possibly can, my dears!
Speakin’ of psycho-bitches, I noticed that Madonna was snorting sumfin’ from the Chinese guy in that B-movie she made about yet another squiddish psychotic woman (forgot its name) – uno, the one with Willem Dafoe (the guy who played Jesus)? So if you ever see me snortin’ the white stuff, that’s what it probably is, BTW.
So, get some 
& a 
on today!
So this is my answer in a blog huh? OK. Just as long as ya keep mine out of it. LOL!
