If yes, then jump out of loop 3) Is she acting weird for no apparant reason? 4) If there does seem to be a reason, then jump out of loop 5) Is she irritable? Does she post nasty things to the net on discussions that are already played out? Does she use coarseness when she doesn't have to? Is she looking for any opportunity to jump down someone's throat? 6) If no, then leave loop ...etc Consider a woman exposed to Ross Greenberg's scrutiny and unable to escape while he executes this algorithm. A vunder he's still alive to tell about it. The validity (Sunny Kirsten's favorite word) of this algorithm tracks the validity of PMS in general. Thank goodness he hasn't met Adrienne Regard, who goes around armed. [*BANG* *BANG*, nope, topic's still alive, *BANG* -- aahh -- *BANG* (insurance)]. (This time Sophie Quigley isn't mentioned, see?) > Now, try to be nice, huh? In your case that's a challenge, Ross. Tuff vun.
