Somehow, I doubt it. Off hand I can think of one instance in my experience. This was when I was working part time with a trapeze act (I was their publicity photographer and sometimes truck driver and roustabout). One of the women in the act did have a problem with her period. It would throw her performance off and she would be extremely grouchy and hard to get along with. I note that this was an unusual situation. The woman involved was a professional athlete and unusually attuned to the workings of her body. Her job made her physical condition a critical factor for her. On the other hand, none of the other women in the troupe seemed to be as strongly affected (it was an all-female act). -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ The Polymath (aka: Jerry Hollombe) Citicorp TTI Common Sense is what tells you that a ten 3100 Ocean Park Blvd. pound weight falls ten times as fast as a Santa Monica, CA 90405 one pound weight.
