Hi,
WhiteSatin checking in here.  Oh my God!  I've been around a LONG time.  First started with Office Click.  Moved over to Administrative-Assistants.com and made the transition to DeskDemon.  It's been a long, wild, wooly ride.  I miss so many of the old-timers.  Andrea was such an inspiration.  I do wish she would check in once and awhile just to let us know how she is and how she is doing.  I wonder if she ever thinks about any of us anymore?  We've had so many good times in the past.  I especially miss Winkiebear.  She was so much fun and always had so much to share with us.  I'm glad to see so many of us are still here, but would so much like to hear from some of the oldies!  Love you all, all of you all!

Don't know anything about this, but was wondering if this is something you had to pay for?

WhiteSatin

I don't know why it works, but it does.  I bet if we ask CountriGal, she could figure it out.  She's great at that stuff!

WhiteSatin

Gee,
Sorry to hear that you are feeling so down. I know from your posts that you are a valuable resource. Think about how much time during the week that you spend at your job. You deserve to be happy and fulfilled. If it takes a little cut in pay, so be it.  Sometimes you need to sacrifice a little in order to be truly happy. In the long run it will all work out for you I'm sure.  Cyber hugs to you my dear friend {{{{{{Gee}}}}}

Couldn't hurt to go for it. Nothing ventured is nothing gained.

WhiteSatin

That's FUNNY!

Clue us in on the U.S. side so we can join in the laughter. What is Durex?  I won't even venture to guess because I don't want to risk offending in case I'm wrong.

I believe she SHOULD be fired.  If we put ourselves in the situation, how would we feel if someone came across our salary info and blabbed it around?  It's NOBODY'S business.  It's bad enough she looked when she had no business looking, but then to talk about it to others!!!!  This is a huge ethical violation.

I can't stand it when I reach for my stapler and it's not there!

WhiteSatin

Raindance,
It would be a pleasure.  Let me know when you have the meeting set-up. ; )

No, I think the Dippin-Squirts are actually related to the Pottydunkins.

SpitFire,
I couldn't agree with you more.  Of course, I haven't had the problems that Marie has with pain, hysterectomy, etc.  My big problem is the HOT flashes and night SWEATS!!!  Oh my God.  I refuse (up to this point anyway) to go the HRT route.  Those hormones are so powerful that I don't want to mess with Mother Nature.  In Marie's case, she had everything removed, so she is at a distinct disadvantage.  She really doesn't have a choice.

I've been enduring this for 4 years now doing it naturally with the exception of the brief time I tried the natural hormonal cream.  If I remember correctly, it was made from yams.  Everytime I applied that cream to my body as instructed, I would start bleeding.  That scared me that even the natural hormones are so powerful.

The hot flashes are the worst at night when I am trying to sleep.  The night sweats are awful!  I have sweat coming out of pores that I didn't even know sweat could come out of.  The hot flashes feel like there is a heater core inside my body and someone plugs it in.  They come on so fast.  I hate to change positions, because almost every time I change positions, I get another hot flash with bonus of night sweats.  It sure would be nice to be able to sleep through the night again.  I heard that this can go on for 10 years!  Is that so?

SpitFire, I have always had wild dreams all my life, so I can't comment on that one.

Marie, I'm glad the HRT is working for you and making you feel better.

I've noticed in the news that Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a very controversial subject.  Some medical professionals claim that it is essential and beneficial.  Other medical experts claim that HRT is potentially deadly.  What are your thoughts and opinions on this subject?
