Guest guest Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 That's awesome Derek. It really turns me off when people claim " too much information. " These are the facts of life and we should be able to discuss these health issues openly to help one another out. And if you or any of the other men want to talk about men's health issues and what things you do for that, please do. Because we all need to be aware of what each other goes through. I'm experiencing all kinds of new things with my body and health since I'm pregnant for the first time. It's quite fascinating. Denise , Derek Mathis <lutesong1> wrote: > > 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.

My own belief > is that it is wrong and insensitive to have that many children. I'm making no judgements about their ability to provide (I grew up youngest of 10, plus there were always more foster kids too, but I think my parents & especially my mom, were/are exceptional people). OTOH, I bet they sure learn how to get along with others! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 I agree, I think Derek is the first guy I have ever heard talk like this, it's great. hugs, Chanda - Amy Wednesday, October 12, 2005 3:01 PM Re: women's health/men's health > That's awesome Derek.

Yeah, what she said... :-) > I'm experiencing all kinds of new things with my body and health since > I'm pregnant for the first time. It's quite fascinating. Denise, I just saw on the news page an article about a woman giving birth to #16, and hoping for more. I dunno how she does it! Apparently that birth will be on the Discovery Channel too.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 I think that by the time you have 16 they may just walk out. (lol) Gayle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
