Now I have a name fo that pain instead of calling it "that pain" because I DO feel that pain.

I love when you post. It makes me feel like we are more connected than we actually are. (Only in proximityof course;, I know our hearts are always connected.)

I also love that I often feel intellectually fed. It's good for me, seeing as I don't often get a lot of that.

I'm gonna go with D. When will the answer be posted?

I'm digging deep and using my old German skills. Mittelschmerz is in fact, "middle pain." Which you already know of course, but it made me feel cool to think that my years in Herr Rowley's classroom left something in my brain and I would like a gold star please.....I do wish I could come up with such intellectual wit for my blog postings.

Oh, I am soooooooo going to have to use that word in a sentence this week. Seriously, love it!

The answer is 'C!' Well done! I don't actually experience mittelschmerz, myself, but would encourage greater use of the word. It's quite fabulous.
