I told my first husband that whenever I wore red shoes it was a warning that I was having PMS (premenstrual syndrome). He knew to stay away-far away-whenever he saw me wearing them. I no longer have that husband but I do still have a few days each month when nothing goes right, no one pleases me and I cry for no good reason. My first husband traveled a lot for business and didn't always have the privilege of witnessing my mood swings during red shoe week. It wasn't until he changed positions within his company and started spending more time at home that our marriage fell apart. I blame the red shoes and his lack of ability to deal with an irrational woman. It's not his fault. Every grammar school should require that boys take a class in proper PMS protocol before they become men and start trying to "fix" a temporarily fragmented female. They should at least be warned that it is a futile effort so they don't make women even more upset by giving them unsolicited advice. Instead, boys should be given instruction on investing in good camping equipment or 100 ways to sleep on the sofa. My second husband understands this, but I think his first wife trained him. I can't take the credit. He just "knows" when it's time to go play golf or make an appointment with the shrink-for himself, not me. I'm fine. I'm just a woman on the PMS/menopause merry-go-round.

Now that I'm in my forties, I not only have PMS, I also have symptoms of early menopause complete with PTM (personal tropical moments). That's French for "hot flashes" in case anyone of the male gender is reading this and doesn't understand why your female friend was fanning herself with the leather-bound menu at that 5-star restaurant you took her to. You know the one place I'm talking about. You thought taking her there was going to earn you some pussy points, but she drank too much red wine (there was your first clue, the color red) and was asleep by the time you drove her home.

For middle-aged, wiser and more experienced women, having this dual diagnosis, is like having PMS all the time with a bonus week of "red shoe time" each month. It's hard to tell whether my temper tantrums are caused by PMS or by repressed anger issues from being so co-dependently nice to everyone when I was younger. Probably both; I'm thinking of dyeing my feet red. The red toe nail polish, while chipped and attracting attention, just doesn't convey the message.

And, speaking of toes, let's talk about wedding bands. Yes, it's red shoe week and I'm somewhat random in my thought process. I have trouble remembering to wear my wedding band. I'm always taking it off and forgetting where I put it. I think forgetfulness is also part of menopause; I certainly wasn't like this in my thirties. Now that I've gained a few pounds (okay, 30 pounds) since I married the second time, the band is too tight and restrictive-just like marriage in general. There are times when I don't want to put the energy and effort into a daily relationship with a guy I can't stay mad at. My second husband laughs at me when I'm having one of my episodes. Maybe I conveniently forget to wear the ring. After all, it does indicate that I'm not available and quite honestly there are times when I don't want to rule out my other options. If I'm going to wear a ring that says, "Keep Away" I may as well wear a toe ring. I don't mind people avoiding my toes.

Looking for some pretty good PSP downloadable games? 'Good' is relative, so the best way to answer that question is to access good websites with a wide selection of PSP downloadable games. How to find one, how to tell which is the best, and what's for download, this article will tell you all about it. Read on.

The Sony Play Station Portable (PSP) has been a phenomenal hit hand held game console since it was released. Not only can you play games with it, and anywhere you bring it at that, but you can also listen to music, watch videos, and extend its functions to PDF reader and PDA (if you install homebrew applications). But the problem of some avid PSP gamers is the const of each PSP game he has to buy. A good gamer can finish a game in less than a week, after which he may want to get a new game. Imagine the costs! Up to forty dollars per game!

To solve this technology and human creativity has found a way to both install PSP games into the PSP memory card, and to upload PSP games on website so people can download PSP games. The more people uploaded their games, the more other people can download those games. It has become a sharing phenomenon among some people, especially the torrent community (who makes PSP downloadable games available for free download). Some others try to make money by charging people a joining fee, a monthly membership fee, and even a per download fee for access to their database of PSP downloadable games.

If you want direct downloads or torrent downloads, here are your options. The direct downloads of PSP games are either free or commercial. The commercial sites either try to milk you via their fees, or try to give you a good deal by just asking for a one-time joining fee. The latter are the good deals. As for the free sites, they're not so good right now. Maybe in the long run. Right now, they have limited game selection, poor download speeds, spyware and adware when you download them, and after you download, sometimes the game you asked for is not the game you get.

The torrent websites are totally free, but you have to downloads and install an equally free Bit Torrent client, like uTorrent. The selection of PSP downloadable games are limited only by the website you found. There are hundreds of torrent sites you can search for torrent files on PSP downloadable games.

There it is. The kinds of sources online for PSP downloadable games. Have fun.

One of my favorite martial arts is Junsado because it is very practical in the modern world and can save your life in a self-defense situation. Many forms of martial arts used to be relevant in their times but are not as realistic or beneficial in the modern world. Furthermore, many martial arts are not very practical in real life self-defense situations and are better suited as a sport. Junsado is a very realistic and practical martial art designed by Master Sang H. Kim. Master Sang H. Kim was an agent for the 202 Unit of the Korean Military and designed the Junsado system of combat for real self defense scenario.

The basic premise behind Junsado is being able to adapt to the changes that occur during a fight or confrontation. Junsado teaches one to adapt and react to changes in attitude, leverage, speed, and environment. Every movement has five stages that occur in order. They include preparation, execution, impact, follow through, and finish or repose. Moves include hand strikes, kicks, and joint locks. Stances and footwork are highly important. There are two kinds of stances, the full stance and the half stance. The different stances allow different types of moves.

In Junsado there are many different classifications of moves. Hand techniques can be closed, or open. Elbow strikes are circular, or linear. Joint locks are standing or ground based. Take downs are dynamic, or static. And footwork can be defensive, or offensive. These many options are what allow Junsado to be so responsive and versatile. Junsado also include armed combat that utilize perception and deception. The goal is that your opponent will not be able to predict or perceive what you intend to do. Moves that are telegraphed rarely connect or are effective. By masking intended plans and using decoy movements you can make more efficient use of your energy and your time. Deceptions can be obvious or unseen. An obvious deception could be a misdirected movement, such as faking a strike to the face and following it with a low kick that is unguarded against because the opponent moved to guard their face. Unseen deceptions involve making movements appear unplanned. For example, when you throw a hand strike you should not pull the hand back. Instead the strike should be thrown from its static point in the stance so it is not seen coming.

Junsado does not have any belts or any certification. Master Sang H. Kim stressed self teaching and self training. No one practices Junsado to show off in class, or put together a list of belts and awards to recite to people to impress them. Junsado is all about self defense in real life scenarios, and that is what the heart of the martial arts is all about.

Male hair loss is an extremely common problem, as almost every man experiences at least some sort of hair loss before the age of 40. It is caused by an increased sensitivity to androgens, which are male hormones, and although most male hair loss problems are hereditary or genetic, there are those cases in which the hair loss is temporary, for instance when it is stress or medication that is causing the hair loss.

The Details

Male hair loss can be caused by a variety of things, depending on the person and their particular situation. In general however most hair loss is not associated with any systemic or internal disease or has to do with a lack of nutrition. Thyroid disease is a common cause of hair loss, but more than anything genetics play a major role. You will notice that if a man has a hair loss problem usually his father did as well, and his father before him.

Alopecia Areata

This is the most common male hair loss condition of all, and it is one which typically starts as a single circle of smooth baldness that continues to spread as time goes on. The most extensive form of this condition is known as alopecia totalis, in which the entire scalp will end up going bald, and this is why it is so important to determine early on what specific hair loss problem you are suffering from, so that you can deal with it properly before it is too late.

Treatment

There are various treatments available for male hair loss, and for the alopecia areata condition in particular, typically treatment involves injecting steroids into the affected patches of skin in order to stimulate hair growth in the patient. However this method of treatment is truly not practical for large areas and so if there is a significant amount of hair loss you may have to go for other treatments, such as oral steroids or ultraviolet light therapy.

Male Pattern Baldness

Male pattern baldness is another common male hair loss problem, and this is a genetic disorder as well, and so although there is nothing that you can do to actually stop the hair loss, there are ways to treat and control it.

Male hair loss can be incredibly damaging to a mans self esteem, and it can even be so serious that it can cause depression. This is why if you have a hair loss problem you need
