Is there such a thing? There should be something we can use, without coming out and saying it -- like as a warning sign to others, especially guys. Do you know of anything out there that could be used?

My wife says women can tell but men don't have the empathy.
I know a couple that chooses to have the days highlighted on a calendar on the fridge.
The man now feels that it works so well that he suspects the marked days are increasing, and is considering only marking the days where it is safe to say something ‘unsympathetic’.

I used to work in a sales office that had about 15 men (I was the only female) and whenever I had PMS, I'd put out my pink coffee cup that had some nasty saying on it regarding PMS, something like "I have PMS and I own a gun, so don't mess with me". So whenever I put out the pink cup, they would know enough to just back off. It became such a joke that I'd started putting it out a lot. They must have thougt I had a real problem and probably felt really sorry for my husband - in more ways that one.

They best way is coding as in the terror alert system. ie... RED ALERT a PMS threat is severe. Unprovked attacks are likley and can come in waves. Leave your home immidiatley and seek shelter at your nearest golf course and Hide your children at the grandparents house. Do Not utter anything that may be in any way percived as sexual in nature. ORANGE ALERT a PMS threat is likely walk lighlty lest you fall into a trap of doom.Beware of emotional explosions and be prepared to cower to them. YELLOW ALERT: Elevated condition for a PMS attack. not yet there but can be used as a defense system for any condition. Begin to prepare you emergency PMS kit by cleaning the golf clubs and preparing the cart. BLUE ALERT: Guarded condition for PMS attack. One of you best chances for a civil reaction so if you have an idea here is were you want to lay in out. in general a good time to socialize and let everyone see you can be in public without pulling each others hair out and beating the kids. GREEN ALERT; low risk of a PMS attack. If you have a shot in the bedroom now is the time to go for it ! These don't come along to often so take advantge while you can. The kids always use this time for asking for any extras as most children are way ahead of the men in how to correctly predict the PMS color chart and swoop in at the correct time for the goods.

ROFLMHO - Very funny.

I guess I'm more fair to my co-workers than most. It shows on my face (and my arms) - literally. For some reason, PMS makes me much more susceptible to my pollen allergies, and I get hives, aka the "spots of doom." What a pain.

Got this e-mail this morning. Thought it wuld fit this post.
Every "Hormone Hostage" knows that there are days in
the month when all a man has to do is open his mouth
and he takes his life in his hands.
This is a handy guide that should be as common as a
driver's license in the wallet of every husband,
boyfriend or significant other.
DANGEROUS: What's for dinner?
SAFER: Can I help you with dinner?
SAFEST: Where would you like to go for dinner?
DANGEROUS: Are you wearing THAT?
SAFER: Gee, you look good in brown.
SAFEST: Wow! Look at you!
DANGEROUS: What are you so worked up about?
SAFER: Could we be overreacting?
SAFEST: Here's fifty dollars.
DANGEROUS: Should you be eating that?
SAFER: You know, there are a lot of apples left.
SAFEST: Can I get you a glass of wine with that?
DANGEROUS: What did you DO all day?
SAFER: I hope you didn't overdo it today.
SAFEST: I've always loved you in that robe.
