The Daily Cramp The barmaid from hell Lets set the record straight. Then Ill tell you a story. First, the record: PMS doesnt happen when I get my period. It happens BEFORE I get my period. Duh! Thats why its called PMS: PREMenstral Syndrome. Get it? So when Im bleeding in a week, my PMS is over. Sure, Ill feel like fecal matter, have acute cramps and shoot out a geyser of red fluid, but at least my emotions will be under control. Mostly. Speaking of emotions, right now is the time of the month that you should start to get worried. Really worried. Which brings me to my story… PMS can be severe. So severe, in fact, that it morphs into whats known as PMDD: Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder. This condition affects up to 8% of women. And it can be totally disabling. In some instances, it may be more than that Consider Regina v. Craddock, a UK criminal case from 1981. Sandie Craddock, a 29-year-old London woman with dozens of criminal convictions, was charged with murdering a fellow barmaid. At trial an expert testified that all her crimes as well as her numerous suicide attempts occurred at roughly 29-day intervals (i.e., in sync with her menstrual cycle). Agreeing she wasn’t in control of her faculties, the court reduced Craddock’s charge to manslaughter and freed her on probation provided she remained on hormone therapy. Sometime later Craddock’s hormone dosage was reduced. During her very next cycle she threatened to kill a cop who had allegedly insulted her three years earlier and was arrested while lying in wait for the officer with a knife. The upshot? Probation again. The Daily Cramp: Two lessons: (1) Think seriously about the timing of your next trip to England. (2) Menstruation-related conditions, however preposterous or politically incorrect they sound, may have some basis in fact. Watch your back! P.S.

They have this watch at Gilt for $498.  If I had that lying around, I’d definitely be getting this watch.  It says it retails for $3,195. It’s called the Tonneau Moon Black and Orange Watch.
Fried chicken, raspberry jam, cheese, in a powdered sugar waffle - the Monte christo at Straw in SF. Shoestring fries with bechamel sauce and an order of sweet potato tater tots complete the meal.
