Hello All! Greetings from beautiful, if chilly, Islamorada in the Florida Keys! We're glad to have escaped Erie, there's 3' of snow up there now, yuck. What to do when you can't play outside? Make lace of course, so I finished the braid on the small Sorrel leaf that I started at summer

I started HRT when hot flushes worried the kids I was teaching. Used to turn bright red and then look like I'd had a bucket of water thrown over me. Stayed on it for at least 15 wonderful, feeling 16, years and then had to stop when I had a knee replacement. Been getting them to a lesser extent

'Up North' we're more used to the white stuff. We always say it's an 'overcoat warmer' down south! Jean says about the grit boxes. We still have them up here the problem is, they're all empty! The council are concentrating on keeping the roads open rather than filling the bins. We

All you have mentioned is very true, we lived in Co Durham in 79 and walked around, cleared our path and roadway, our daughter only missed one day at school when the bus couldn't get through the dales. When we moved south and they had an inch of snow the school sent the children home, much to

Flash or flush?   When going to the doctor, I was asked if I was having hot flashes, or was just flushing.  They qualified a flash as something more intense, including sometimes night sweats, etc.  Flushing is just getting a bit warm without more intense symptoms, vs. coming on in a flash and
