It ...Thanks everyone for your wonderful comments. <br /><br />It all seems so simple from our female POV, til we're in the thick of it, and nothing seems to be working. Sometimes being a girl just sucks (particularly once a month -- there's just no getting around it). <br /><br />I do feel for you guys -- it's gotta be frustrating. We are so dang complicated sometimes. And what do you do when your woman hates chocolate? <br /><br />Honestly, I can't help you. You're on your own.RachelintheOChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15676161347572347668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5304920138891211736.post-39703744940510657962011-11-01T13:21:34.184-04:002011-11-01T13:21:34.184-04:00Thank you very much for sharing Rachel!

It's hard to stand back and weather the female storm without trying a quick fix, which always seems to make things worse. Love your blog and your book. <br /><br />Stay snarky<br /><br />maxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14255711715506662271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5304920138891211736.post-79630882970649993062011-11-01T12:45:31.577-04:002011-11-01T12:45:31.577-04:00Chocolate is the pen pal I never have to write bac...Chocolate is the pen pal I never have to write back to. <br />Another a-mazing post to make me smile and LOL.Amber Scott Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00270869530926234306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5304920138891211736.post-13174773183740476462011-11-01T12:37:39.616-04:002011-11-01T12:37:39.616-04:00Lol!

Great job!

I have tried, without success mind you, to teach my husband how to sooth the savage beast. I've broken it down in small words that he should be able to understand. I've even drawn rudimentary pictures of a raging monster accepting chocolate from a nice, calm, man. He still doesn't get it. I keep trying because...well, I'm a woman, we don't give up easily. I love reading your stories that seem to speak of my life...it reminds me I'm not alone in this epic battle. Whew.

Totally understand funky moods, bad hair and zit days, and that dreaded PMS time of the month too.<br /><br />I'll go on record and say "Soothing words and kisses" always help me. Like you, I don't need to be "fixed." I just need to know the other person cares, knows I'm not right in the head, and hang around till I'm better. <br /><br />Thankfully, I usually get out of my funk pretty quickly. ;) <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your wisdom, as always! <br /><br />edenEden Bayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08043540142363106345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5304920138891211736.post-26170194290536323892011-11-01T10:48:48.498-04:002011-11-01T10:48:48.498-04:00Ha!

When I read Rachel's writing, I just so want to sit with her, have coffee (or a martini, depending on the time of day), and laugh!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
