Iceprincess | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 10:37 am     From now on I am going to back off posting on the board unless it is *not* something that gets me emotionally upset. I am one for calling a spade a spade, but to equate PB&J with her DUI, well...I am outie. Enjoy |
Calamity | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 10:41 am     Wait a minute - "face it ALL women are mentally unstable before they start their periods." ??!!! I hope that statement wasn't meant seriously. |
Earthmother | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 10:42 am     I don't believe she has mental problems unless that's what you call delayed developement. She is behaving like a spoiled little brat that had her toy taken away. Would she have acted like this if not going through PMS? Maybe. I guess we will have to see. She still hasn't gotten over the Amy/Roddy situation and now she's looking at everything he says and does as "you are leaving me out." cry cry whine whine...sounds to me like she learned very young that the louder you cry the more you get. I don't know about you guys but I tell everyone when I'm going through PMS days it's not that I don't love you, but I need to stay away from you right now because I'm not normal and may say something that may hurt your feelings. I realize this is not easy when in the bb house, but there are bedrooms she can escape to and ask the others to respect her alone time. If they are going to plot against her they are going to do it whether she is with them or not, right now she is just giving them ammo. |
Maris | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 10:42 am     I certainly didnt take it seriously Calamity, that would be generalizing and I know that nobody on this board generalizes. I have never suffered from PMS in my 30 plus years. |
Calamity | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 10:49 am     Hi Maris, actually what bothered me wasn't that it's a gross generalization about women. I'm tired of women blaming their moodiness and resulting behavior on their hormones. Honestly if menstruation was as debilitating as too many contemporary American women and drug companies make it out to be, the human race would have become extinct thousands of years ago. |
Ryanc2002 | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 10:52 am     I had a teacher one time that said girls were lucky they had periods because "They get cleaned out once a month. Guys, you're stuck with what you've got." |
Earthmother | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 10:55 am     well too bad we can't let the boys take it a few months so they can feel better....I'd be willing to share the wealth, how about the rest of you ladies? |
Crazyfan | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 10:59 am     Hold on, way too many people have gotten DUIs for one. DUI's = bad judgement if found guilty we do not even know if she was found guilty of the charge do we? The PB&J comment came up in that context because of the diet being blamed for her actions along with her PMS. I like many women out there suffer occassionaly from self proclaimed PMS (a Dr. has never confirmed I have it) but once in awhile do to extra stress from job work kids relationship I get a little emotional around that time. I guess I was just pointing out that some people can not deal with additional stress and it can be bad both physically and mentally for anyone exspecially if they are already being treated/medicated to help cope with the normal day to day problems add BB to the mix and what do you have? |
Crazyfan | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 11:02 am     Earthmother where do I sign up!!! A couple of months off would be nice |
Minnietlm63 | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 11:23 am     Oh poor Chiara is taking Sarafem for her PMS or whatever. We should all be respectful of that (sarcasm). Yet I recall her making crude remarks about her boyfriends ex-wife with bi-polar. I don't find that funny at all, but for some reason Chi did. |
Earthmother | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 11:23 am     RyanC2202..you want the first shift? |
Ryanc2002 | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 11:26 am     Sure. I'll make the trade, long as the girl I trade off with takes on all of my baggage during that time period. (Hint: Look at my profile before agreeing to anything.) |
Goddessatlaw | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 11:30 am     Ryan, honey, that was priceless. I had a look at your profile. I'll take your baggage if I can have your good looks, too. |
Ryanc2002 | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 11:34 am     Goddess - You want it? You got it, because quite honestly I don't think I'm all that good looking. |
Goddessatlaw | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 11:36 am     Ryan, no one in high school thinks they're good looking except the ones whose personalities make it impossible to care. You're adorable. |
Abigail1970 | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 11:37 am     I know I am pretty emotional when I am PMSing (not making an excuse but it is a fact). While I agree that some people do use the whole PMS thing to their advantage, for others it is an extreme 'medical' condition which requires medication. Such as Sarafem. I doubt seriously she takes it all the time. Didn't she just start mentioning it when it becamoe 'Patty P' time? Did anyone hear her mention it before? As for her DUI, she was stupid and I hope she pays for that mistake. Nobody should ever drive while drinking. But to equate that to her taking of Sarafem is really reaching. She was irresponsible. Couple all of this to being stuck in a house where you have no privacy. I'd be yelling at some people myself.. |
Ryanc2002 | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 11:39 am     Goddess - I don't date "pretty" or "hot" girls because...well....Look at the BB3 girls, that's why. |
Earthmother | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 11:40 am     Just as I can't make comments about your baggage, you can't make them about how a woman feels during her time of the month. I can assure you I would never want your baggage and wish you didn't have it either, but when you make comments based on something you know nothing about it puts you in a position to be called on it. I also thought it was very wrong for a Nuns to teach us sex ed in high school or anyone to counsil a parent who isn't one themselves..You live it then you teach it. |
Goddessatlaw | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 11:41 am     Well, you've got good taste and brains too, then. Sounds like a complete package to me! |
Ryanc2002 | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 11:43 am     Earthmother - You're right, I can't, but as someone else said if it was half as bad as some girls made it sound... |
Earthmother | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 11:47 am     It depends Ryan.. Everyone is different. I have friends who don't even know they had theirs and others are down for the count. I'm in between. Just as their are varying forms of many maladies who can say what another person feels? What is horrible pain and depression to you may be a minor inconveince to someone else. You have to take them at their word. |
Oregonfire | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 11:47 am     I missed the bipolar comments--what did she say? (Today is a gathering information day, not a spouting opinions day for me) Not that there's anything wrong with that... |
Creampuff | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 11:48 am     Chiara didn't say she was joking (about having Tourettes) and I saw nothing indicating she told Roddy she was kidding. I only commented on what I read on the live feeds and I didn't see that. |
Abigail1970 | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 11:50 am     Ryan - It depends on the girl/woman. But for some, it is extremely painful and requires medication. Minnie - I'm not defending Chiapet but neither am I assuming she is on Prozac because she is emotionally unstable as others believe... |
Ryanc2002 | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 11:51 am     Oregon - It was during the code talking. Eathmother - Yeah, but I'm of the opinion that you deal with your stuff, whatever your "stuff" may be, be it with pills or whatever, rather than using it as an excuse. |
