"Love or Opportunity? - I'm sure this question has skated across a sponsors mind at least one time - minimum."
I am afraid I never had such thought. Although I can understand why someone would think like this. In my case. I decided to stay in Ukraine with my wife as a first step. then We want to go back to canada to complete my studies. who knows where we will be in 6 years. We might even be back in Ukraine! My wife is following me there but I bet she would prefer us to stay in Ukraine (in a perfect world)

Hey everyone! It's 2:30 am here, and I'm still up. The horrible back pain I reported a while ago is still horrible, but it's gone down from a 9 to about a 7 or 8. This might be TMI, but I have my period now and between the hormones and the pain, I've been very irritable. Gone from loving wife to a snappy btch in minutes while on Skype with my husband. The only thing that helped calm me down was watching One Direction videos. Gah...

Are you a nurse?

You know men whine and complain about our hormonal swings, but they turn around and beg for kids. Can't have it both ways sweety!

I'm going to beg my doctor to remove all my innards (maybe even my stomach so I can't pig out anymore! :p).

Back pain sucks. I hope you get better soon!

You should use Allie's pain scale...

(Her blog is also a great way to pass time. And laugh yourself to hyperventilation. Maybe not a great idea while you're already in pain though...)

Ah, no, I'm not. We used to have this chart with the funny faces to help you describe the level of pain/discomfort you were feeling. 9 had a crying face and 10 had this crazy face so I went with 9 to avoid being labeled lol.

Agree! Men say women's moods change with the weather but hey! Never heard me complain when my husband changed his mind about half a dozen times, trying to decide what to wear one time.

That sounds painful, love. :eek: I know I've listened to enough 1D for the day when I started talking with a British accent and say things like love, and babe too many times

I was just describing a similar chart to Amikety! Ours had 11 faces all in all (0-10 too) except her 6 was our 9, and her 8 was our 10. Thanks for sharing! I will have a good look at the rest of the posts when laughing is not as painful as it is now. :)

My ex-husband was a nurse and I learned about the pain scale from him. It had stupid little smiley faces. Another example of dumbing down society. We're going to end up being that society from the Luke Wilson movie where people water their plants with gatorade........

/endrant

My ex-husband was a nurse. He's now apparently working at a gym in Florida that does MMA fighting. He was a terrible fighter. I mean, he sucked and lacked the killer instinct. So he spends 50k in student loans (mostly because he was too lazy to work) and decides to go work at a gym. What a moron.

A friend posted this on facebook earlier. @ guys hooked to a machine that makes them experience the pain of contractions. Maybe guys wouldn't beg for kids so much if they knew what it was like! Maybe even make this part of the classes couples take before birth?

My personal favourite on Allie's scale was #10: "I am actively being mauled by a bear."

My mom is a nurse, and has actually started using this scale with some of her patients. Very selectively though. Some people just wouldn't appreciate it, or are in too much pain to find the funny in it. My phyisotherapist thinks it's hilarious.
