Not Guilty by Reason of Menopause

I've been a fan of Leigh Anne Jasheway-Bryant's humor for some time and was delighted to get her new book. The format is fun and the illustrations are a great complement to the text. Some of Leigh Anne's lines made me laugh out loud. One of my favorites was: You might be menopausal if . . . you recently held up a pharmacy with a note that said, "Give me all your hormones and no one gets hurt!" Can't wait to share this little gem with friends.

This book is too funny for words--which is probably why the pictures are so hysterical! I can't believe someone finally wrote a book on this topic that doesn't sound like a medical encyclopedia. It just helps you laugh at what you really can't escape, and so many women will experience. Having this book sure helps you feel like you can live through this and survive--but I do have one warning: be careful where you read it, because we almost got thrown out of the store we were laughing so hard! I'm buying several copies for my friends. They can have a portable fan in one hand and Leigh Anne's book in the other!

It's hard to type with tears running down my face from laughing so hard! This book arrived in today's mail and it's fabulous! I can't wait to share it with friends and encourage them to buy it for their friends and relatives. It's hard to say which is my favorite because most of them could have been based on my personal story, but I must admit I was rather fond of the one that said, "You wear a miniskirt and high heels to buy your mom's bladder control underwear so the cashiers don't think they're for you.". My 88-year-old mom just moved into a nursing home so they now provide items like this. But I clearly remember a cell phone conversation I had with my mom about a year ago from the Depends aisle in Walgreen's confirming exactly what she wanted in terms of size, absorbency, brand, etc. It's hard to be heard when you're whispering into a cell phone to a woman who's hearing is starting to go along with a few other systems! Keep up the good work. You have so much to offer to the world in ways that make people's lives brighter. You certainly brighten mine!
