Last night I was among the 800 women (and two men, maybe) who attended the Kentucky Author Forum where we were treated to a conversation between Sue Monk Kidd and Jean Shinoda Bolin.
At the lovely wine and cheese reception I experienced an incredible hot flash -- it started at my knees (just above the cowgirl boots) and crept up my thighs, hips, torso, neck, ears and face. Then two minutes later I felt the unmistakable whoosh of uterine blood following the inevitable path of gravity.
I made it to the ladies room just in time to prevent an embarrassing stain on the lobby carpet (lucky for me I was wearing a long black skirt).
Babycakes suggested that I stay out of women-filled auditoriums again until after menopause is over.

yikes...seems totally unfair...hot flash AND a period. Thus faar, I'm getting solo performances.
Best of luck.

Probably ruined a good pair of properly fitting underpants as well! Darn the luck!
