"A landmark UCLA study suggests friendships between women are special. They shape who we are and who we are yet to be. They soothe our tumultuous inner world, fill the emotional gaps in our marriage, and help us remember who we really are. By the way, they may do even more. Scientists now suspect that hanging out with our friends can actually counteract the kind of stomach quivering stress most of us experience on daily basis."
UCLA study on friendship among women, by Gale Berkowitz

I think this can be applied to the unmarried, divorced, and aspiring spinsters among us, too.

My friend Lene sent this to me and I thought it was too nice to keep to myself. I mean, that would be selfish, no?

Google had 17 hits on the title of this study, most notably to the Women and Horses site, but, sorry, no link to the original study.

One of the best deals anywhere.

Donations to keep us going are very welome!

Our webhost, is a really good deal and is probably having a huge sale on something as we speak. If you're looking for webhosting, I recommend them very much.
