Menopause: It’s Not Just For Women
Mood swings, bone loss, no sex drive — and we’re not talking about women.
It turns out menopause has gone coed. Men are getting it, too, NBC 10 News Medical Reporter Cherie Bank reported.
“I think so because they get all cranky and mad and evil,” said one woman.–NBC10
Eerie to say the least….
So if this is the definition of “manopause”–what should the psychological symptoms of those men who are the husbands/boyfriends of women going through menopause be called?
Husband kills wife’s lover; wife charged
Of course she happened to be claiming she was being raped at the time of the crime…
First from Boston–the failure of the Mayor and Governor to help stem the crime wave plaguing that city.
Then in DC, the House seems to think that it should pass a resolution about the Turkish massacre of Armenians .
This has he potential to complicate relations with Turkey. Not only that, but is this a reflection of what’s really a “pressing” issue in DC these days? Aren’t there bigger problems that Congress could be looking on?
Then again, it could be worse (think tax increases)
Finally, what is Nancy Pelosi thinking going to Syria? For what purpose?
Even when a bunch of Senators went a few months ago, te purpose of their visit still eluded me.

Then Martha Stewart does Passover meals
Martha Stewart’s cooking can’t even begin to compare to Grandma’s cooking. Not a chance.
Google seems to be attempting to make a transition from a (super) Search Engine provider–to a full scale Madison Avenue style Advertising Agency
Very interesting move on Google’s part. Not quire sure what the ultimate goal in this is
So who is crankier: John Dvorak or Dick Feagler?
On both coasts no less:
West: S.F. Leaders OK Plastic Grocery Bag Ban
East: Ocean Beach (LI)–”The Land of No”
So how permissible are things in “Flyover Country” these days?
Everyday around lunchtime, my female coworkers begin having, what seems like a daily debate–what to have for lunch and where to order from.
The daily premise is usually not to order from the deli that they usually patronize (it’s not that the deli is bad–quite the opposite–but they’re looking for “variety”)
It starts out innocently enough, with the “I’m hungry” from one of them.
Then it grows into the–”What do you want?/What are you gonna get?” round of questions.
This is usually immediately followed by the “I feel like [insert cuisine and/or restaurant here]”
Of course–since they usually can’t agree on one thing (that would be to easy*, wouldn’t it?), the discussion goes on and on….
Finally, about two hours after it all begins, and countless complaints of hunger and critiques of this that and the other a call to the Deli is placed.
Oh, just another day at the office….
Does this happen at anyone else’s workplace?
*Unwritten rule of the office: nothing can be easy.
As this post is written, The Brother is on an airplane, (currently flying over Russia–according to FlightView)–en route to China!
The Brother is on school band trip over to Beijing and Shanghai.
They’ll be performing 4 concerts while over there. (The brother, as usual, didn’t provide me with many details).
Still a neat trip and a great opportunity nonetheless.
Usually 5pm is when the traditional workday ends. Everything winds down, and the day comes to a close.
Perhaps it’s just my bad luck….but why do I get presented with the crazy projects needing immediate completion (e.g. shipments needing to be overnighted) at 5PM?
Sigh
(Yep, got another one of those today–but that’s another story)
On a college campus, the presence of a 50′ inflatable rocket, isn’t usually interpreted to mean what it’s intended to.
Rather, the majority of students will perceive it as a giant 50′ phallus….
The event being promoted by the rocket does sound interesting:
“American policy options in the face of Iranian nuclear proliferation”
Sponsored by the College Dems and Reps and a pro-Israel group.

The more time they spend listening to the sounds, the more familiar they will be with them. Just as with any other skill.
Yet another novel way to use technology to further education.

Are there any real computer geeks/nerds working in Government (aside from say at the NSA, NASA or DARPA) on the Federal or State levels?
Or perhaps there are some–but their voices get ignored.
First it was the loss of a $38 billion dollar file in Alaska, which had no reliable backup.
Then there’s this story:
Aides to Bush told not to destroy e-mails
If the campaign was smart (or listened to their IT people), they would have backups of all the emails, in case they were lost. That is, unless the aides are being told not to lose the backups.
In all, the latter is probably just the result of some silly political fishing expedition, but that’s another issue.
Earlier this month City Council decided to ban aluminum bats in HS baseball games.
Enter the law of un intended consequences: the cost and danger of broken wooden bats
Doesn’t City Council really have anything better to do than regulate sports?
Was with The Mom, Grandma and the Sister for the morning and saw them off in the early afternoon (the Mom and Grandma that is; not the sister)
It was a nice if not too short of a visit.
Of course, Grandma gave me the expected Jewish Grandmother greif about still being single (nu?, what else was to be expected?)
It was a nice weekend overall.
From there went to the gym, as I was in the area, then went up to the Office (the gym is in the same building as The Office), and wound up working on things for longer than expected. And well, there went my day….
