My friend, Jon Weinstein, shares his unique perspective on menopause
Posted on on www.http://hotflashionista.com/
For those of you that don’t know me, I’m 6’ tall, have long wavy brown hair, I’m known around town as “that cool guy” and can usually be found in the presence of a beautiful blond.
For those of you who do know me, you know that’s a lie! I’m 5’7”, bald, suffering with hot flashes and the blond I’m usually seen with is my neighbor’s golden retriever, Sidney – who is in love with my right leg and deems it necessary to demonstrate the depth of his devotion to my right leg every time he sees me.

Serenity Now. Insanity Later.
Wednesday, April 24th, 2013
We all do it. We stress out over things we can’t control. And we obsess. And fret. And worry. Waiting for your mamo results. . . worrying if you got that job. . . reviewing in your mind, over and over, what you should have done differently in your relationship, your career, your family. Now is the time for an easy solution.
The psychic stop button.

Breakfast of BBs
Sunday, July 17th, 2011
Guess who cares what I think: Kellogg’s. Really. I’m not kidding. They actually asked me to try two of their high fiber cereals and report to you, my loyal readers, what I thought of them (see: one more benefit to being over 40!). And I thought: boy, are they brave! Have they ever read this blog?

Does Size Really Matter?
Tuesday, January 4th, 2011
Yikes! Scientists have just discovered that stress affects the size of organs. . . and I’m not talking about the musical kinds. Is this the biggest problem facing mankind? (Pardon the pun)
In studies conducted on the fruit fly, researchers have revealed that when some specific cells are subjected to stress, not only is the growth of this part of the organ reduced but also that of the remaining section.
This is obviously a very, very serious problem. Not only could this increase the need for rolled up socks in the pants; it also can have a very detrimental affect on the egos of those poor men in our lives (who run the world and make most of the money). (more…)
