Loading ...Hot flashes are about the least funny thing I’ve ever experienced. Why do people make jokes about hot flashes? They’re fucking awful. One minute you’re nice and cool in your air-conditioned house, and the next you’re covered in sweat and can hardly breathe. Without even stepping out-side into the unholy Georgia heat.
“Yep”, mom says in her elderly wisdom, “that’s a hot-flash alright”.
“Gee thanks”, I say as I try to cram my entire body into the freezer.
I think hot-flashes are a message from satan that my life is nearing its end, and hell awaits.
Buy me a beer!

I knew an old woman who looked like the stereotypical crone (and was also one of the founders of the lesbians avengers) who never had an air conditioner in her Brooklyn apartment, until she hit menopause and those hot flashes.
Then she got one for every room.
I know the woman of which you speak, R the P. Quite the crone.
Che, you seem much too young to have hot flashes, or as one comedian called them, power surges. From what I’ve seen of the older women in my family, the only upside of this ‘pause process is that you tend to feel cooler in general once it’s over. Then again, that could just be my strange family members.
