Summer Anti-Boredom List
Before summer vacation turns into a boredom fest, sit down as a family and make a summer anti-boredom list. Write down a mixture of long overdue chores that you've been meaning to get done, along with goals and dreams that you've always wanted to accomplish. Don't leave out the fantastic! If you've always wanted to ride on a unicorn, even though there is no such animal, write it down. You may read the list one day when you're bored, see the unicorn wish, and decide to take horseback riding lessons. With an anti-boredom list displayed prominently on the refrigerator, fun is just around the corner.
Take a look at my family's summer anti-boredom list to get an idea. By the way, can you tell which entries belong to our five-year-old son?

Menopause and Mood Swings
Menopause equals mood swings. You know, where the slightest request from your husband can cause you to go off. Or perhaps the cries of your child for a new Playstation game makes you lose it. Mood swings, which can trigger the sudden onset of crying, play a significant role in the menopause game and are often one of the first things women notices that causes her to suspect perimenopause. Characteristics of menopausal mood changes include extreme irritability, concentrated anxiety, depression, indifference (neutral feeling to both good and bad situations), and nervousness.
Menopause and mood swings work together because changes in hormonal levels (most notably, progesterone and estrogen levels) take place. For one, hormone levels may affect the level of serotonin (the ?emotional chemical?) in the brain, causing depressive symptoms. Women often times feel insecure and irrelevant about themselves and their current roles, contributing more to feelings of worthlessness. Other factors...

Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans
There are several reasons why you may choose to consider adjustable rate mortgage loans. The low initial interest rate and payments is a big attraction to many home owners or potential home owners, but it isn't the right answer for everyone because the interest rates may very well rise during the twenty-five to thirty-year life of the loan. For this reason, most people prefer fixed-rate loans where the interest rate does not rise or fall during the life of the mortgage. On the other hand, in some...
