Guest guest Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Chanda -- You know what? Despite your (tongue-in cheek, I think) comment about men deleting the message once you brought up such things as menstrual cramps, etc.; I personally think men are becoming more and more able to talk and read about these issues. One reason for this is this: all men have women in their lives, so of course women's health issues affect them at least indirectly. If the man is straight and has a wife or girlfriend, these issues are very close to home; if the man is not, like myself, nevertheless they probably have co-workers, not to mention mothers, sisters, and best friends. In a way, I'm a little surprised that I'm writing this, but at my ripe old age, LOL (which I'm not going to divulge), I've begun to see more clearly how closely we are all connected, even when we don't realize it.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 I like all of the teas from Traditional Medicinals. Here is a link to their PMS tea, which then you can explore their other teas. http://www.traditionalmedicinals.com/?id=30 & pid=16 As I mentioned, I'm drinking two of their teas now and I also really like the Throat Coat, which is a slipperly elm tea. It's perfect for a nagging cough or a sore throat from any irritation or sickness. , purplepassion <thelilacflower> wrote: > > babe I don't know, I always kinda like that PMS feeling, scares the jerky people away.hahaha > I do think that is the name.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 I lived in France for a year and often got that pronunciation. But unless you are not used to pronouncing hard Gs, it's the same as the man's name, in English. ;-) - /kreg/ On 10/12/05, PuterWitch <puterwitch wrote: > > I think its craige like craje ) > - > Amy > > Wednesday, October 12, 2005 2:06 PM > Re: TEA dong quai > > > > -Craige, who is a woman, lest there was any confusion ;-) > > I did see you mention somewhere your gender.... but in any case I have > been curious - do you pronounce your name like " Craig " the man's name? > Or is it something different with that e? > > *hugs* > Amy > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 I think it is an Irish word! It is actually 'craic' . . . that means 'fun' like the good fun you might have in a pub telling stories and jokes! Tell me it is so, Craige!

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 I might start using that theory, but I had always been told it is from the word " crag " meaning " rock.

My coursework was in Binghamton, but the field work was in the countryside near Albany, including several days in Saratoga Springs! (Great garnet rocks there.) I remember in college one time it snowed so badly that when I looked out the window at job (drugstore), I saw people cross-country skiing down the street! Usually it's off road! ;-) *hugs* Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
