I knew them as clackers. They had several different names. Noth worth much. Anyone got one of these games??? Nintendo Stadium Events........... I wish I did.

Don't save anything---wish I did now! Cute cousin,Victor! Harper, sorry to hear of your sleeplessness----and weight gain----mine never came off! Got worse because of the meds I have to take---have to blame the meds & not the chocolate!

Rehoboth, MA(Zone 5a)

Have not been here for a while tried to catch up but am curious how you got from super bowl to hormones. LOL

I see Victor pretended to be a she

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

Hee hee - normal deviation for us, Maria!

Questa, NM(Zone 5b)

My son can do the Rubik's cube in less than two minutes. They still sell them in retail stores.

Rehoboth, MA(Zone 5a)

Perhaps you should change it over to the Olympics at least it would be curent . Did you know there are 48 olympians from New England?

Dover, PA(Zone 6b)

We have an old Nintendo in the attic but I'm sure we don't have Stadium Events. LOL Ric

(Ronnie), PA(Zone 6b)

I knew them as "Clackers" too and loved them! Wishing I still had the Rubiks Cube that's for sure.

I'm 49 and not a sign of anything yet. Most of my friends are almost done or starting.I'm in no hurry, I figure it will be hell since I've had trouble all my life with so called 'Women's stuff"! I hear a lot of younger women complaining of 'Peri Menopause' (spell?) nothing for me in that category either.

Thomaston, CT

Yes, Maria, a nice group from NE in the Olympics.

Southern, CT(Zone 6a)

Harper, That is amazing! Some kind of genius there.

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

Wow - I could never do it.

central, NJ(Zone 6b)

I could never do Rubik's Cube either without taking it apart. I have an original one but kids got to it and started taking the stickers off.
Harper, have you had your doc do a saliva test for hormone deficiencies?My friend did one for me (he's a holistic health practitioner) and gave me some things to take...not medications but over the counter vitamins and supplements. I just started taking them so I can't tell if they make a difference yet.

Questa, NM(Zone 5b)

They have a series of algorythms (?) for the Rubik's Cube. You can find it on their website. That's how DS figured it out. At first, it took him an hour, then 15 mins, then his fastest, less than 2 min. I can't do it even if I do follow the instructions!

Jen, I've only had my blood done. I don't have health insurance now so I'm pretty much trying to figure how to alleviate my symptoms on my own.

central, NJ(Zone 6b)

Insurance won't cover the saliva test anyway.

Have you tried Estroven?

You can buy in the grocery store, the PMS one works great.

Questa, NM(Zone 5b)

No, I haven't. I'll have to check it out. I was thinking of adding this to my regular multivitamins plus calcium and magnesium: http://renewalenterprises.com/estro-prlabs.html

central, NJ(Zone 6b)

I don't see the list of ingredients for that, is there one?

Questa, NM(Zone 5b)

I didn't see one either. I wonder why they didn't post it. I'll call them when I have time and find out.

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

Should I be reading all this??

Ronnie - I've had to deal with 'woman stuff' too - I'm married!

Questa, NM(Zone 5b)

Wow, they wrote me back already with a link to the ingredients list: http://renewalenterprises.com/estro-prlabs.html

Denville, NJ(Zone 6b)

that's fast

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

In a flash??? ^_^

Denville, NJ(Zone 6b)

UGH

(Ronnie), PA(Zone 6b)

Read away Victor so you are well prepared!!

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

Or warned??

Denville, NJ(Zone 6b)

a shame about bloom of the day.. even after Sue came in here .. still just picking a couple of people.. very unprofessional .... you would think out of the millions of PF photos and hundreds of thousands of people who contribute to it... you should not see the same persons photos for years and years... just a shame

central, NJ(Zone 6b)

I don't see anything in that ingredient list that would help with menop.

For instance Black cohosh is like the #1 hot flash regulator and it's not in there.
All these are said to help symptoms
B12 and B6
Folic Acid
Inositol
Flax seed oil
Evening Primrose oil
Vitamin E
Omega 3(which you should be taking anyway)
And none of those are listed

Denville, NJ(Zone 6b)

I am watching earlier aired Olympics coverage on the dvr.. man those down hill skiers are nuts

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

Yes they are. The snowboard cross is not much saner.

Questa, NM(Zone 5b)

Wish I could watch! The Olympics are one of the rare few things on TV that make me want to pay for cable again.

Okay, Jen. True confessions. I didn't research that at all. A friend of mine emailed it to me, saying that a friend of hers recommended it. I'm glad you posted that list of the things that help symptoms. How'd you find all this out?

Looks like snow here again.

Denville, NJ(Zone 6b)

here ya go D-Nut... more babies!!!

out of 3 trays of petunias ... only 3 six packs have not germinated yet.. the best I have ever done!!

I must get started on the planting---just being lazy! Won't get to art class today due to snow---my teacher sent all of us an e-mail saying she's planning on moving to Boulder---her daughter moved there this past fall---I'm very upset----I know I have the basics, but just getting together every Tues at the studio, chatting & painting, was my therapy. But Betsy & her husband have lived there before & have liked it, & they have no one left here in CT, so they're following their daughter. Our best friends for years followed their daughter to FL---she moved back here to CT----they don't know what to do now, elderly & not in the best of health. I wonder what I would do in the same circumstances---not sure!

Denville, NJ(Zone 6b)

a lot of tough decisions in life.. that's for sure

Pepperell, MA(Zone 6a)

my in-laws had a great condo down the cape and in naples, Fl - sold them both and moved 5 miles away - really upset me too - nice cheap place to visit in Fl and the cape gone!! :)

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

You're way too organized and ambitious, Allison!

Questa, NM(Zone 5b)

Exciting!

Denville, NJ(Zone 6b)

why thank you Victor
