And for our American friends who still use the size of King Henry's foot to measure things...Dave lives 932miles from me and the cyclone is 1367miles from him (Dave and the cyclone are in the same state though)

Most women in western societies have one or 2 thyroid nodes and never even know and they are completely benign and don't cause any issues. But if you do have them it's worth keeping an eye on them.

Linda...get a blood test done, ask for things like full thyroid function. I can't comment on menopause cos still waiting....but seeing as we are talking plumbing and some of our newbies might still have monthlies...when I quit mine went screwy...it was all over the place, cycle wise, took about 8months to settle back to normal... And my hot flushes were my thyroid.. which the nicotine had been masking, probably for years. My cycles was so all over the place and the mood swings and hot flushes I was sure it was menopause...but my GP suspected not hence the blood test....there are a few endocrine conditions that are masked by nicotine... Things with me were odd from the get go but when I stopped the nrt they went really wacky.

3... @Tammy.....woohoo you had us all worried...lots of people missed you.....

I'll be fine....Dave might be in for some rough weather.

Yeah well I though thought that women in Australia were meant to "blow" not "glow".....

A goog is an egg...well it's technically a googy egg....but meh Promite??....I think I have to re-think our friendship....how can ya g'day and not Vegemite!???....that's grounds for ya Straya card to be revoked!

@reciprocity...here are the results .. With 6 options there were only 3 songs that managed a vote, and talk about ya close finishes....it was a draw...and almost a 3way split.... So the equal winners were Jailhouse Rock.....and....In the Ghetto...... I don't really like a draw....it's like having to dance with ya brother.

Waiting for the GP to start.

True...I think cos down here we eat them whenever....just wondering are jellybeans linked to Easter in the US? TNP has is doing something to celebrate St Paddy's Day....patron saint of the Irish and hangovers.

Thinking of you ICH..... Hope all is well with you and the family.

^^ yeah I don't tweet either...or Facebook.

How confusing do you think yankie telly shows were to Aussie kids when our slang for a vadg includes "fanny"... The kids in those shows had to behave or get their fannies whipped ??? And the Brits were no better, a Fanny was a little girl who liked to play in magic trees. For the record there is no such thing as a fanny pack...it's a flippin bum bag peeps.
