Take the big “I love you” declaration as an example. For men, saying these three little words require a huge effort -but the urge comes quite easily for most women.

Similarly, in a fight, women like to dissect the emotional reasons behind the issues. For men? They want to skip the “Let’s talk” part and proceed ASAP to kissing and making up.

In the tradition of our top lists, here is AllWomensTalk top 3 secrets behind the silence of the men =)

Thanks for your patience! Shelley

In the spirit of websites gone mad you MUST, have to CHECK OUT THIS SITE: http://producten.hema.nl/

You can’t buy anything and it’s all in Dutch, but it’s mad genius web mastering so worth a peak. It takes a second to load (patience). If Net-a-Porter made shopping this fun I’d never leave and be very broke.

HEMA is a Dutch department store that first opened 1926, in Amsterdam. Now there are 150 stores all over the Netherlands; plus Belgium, Luxemburg, & Germany. This company has a sense of humor and a great computer programmer.

After a few weeks of using Vista on my laptop I decided to further take the plunge and install Vista Ultimate on my Mac Pro. I was lazy and tried to install it as an upgrade. That ended up being a disaster. I ended up having to reinstall it as a new installation. That did bring a few problems a long as well, because of the whole Apple / drivers issue. For anyone else thinking about installing Vista as an upgrade – don’t do it unless you’re glutton for punishment. If your system had any problems before Vista, you’ll be bringing them a long for the ride. Anyway, once I got Vista up and running I was blown away. Vista really takes advantage of my Mac Pro’s power, in ways that Windows XP never did. Everything is sooo much speedier and repsonsive than ever before. For example. My computer starts up so much faster, and in general there is a lot less lag with basic tasks like clicking on folders and running programs. And I’m not going to even get in to the new features that Vista has to offer because I’m sure you’ve already heard enough about them.
Unfortunately, there have been some headaches involved with running Vista. I have been getting an occasional blue screen of death. And I’ve had a few software compatibility issues. For example, Cisco’s VPN client doesn’t work with Vista yet. Luckily, Google lead me to a 4.8 beta version which took a lot of playing with, but it finally works. Quark Xpress 7 also doesn’t work with Vista, and it’s an important program for me. However, these really aren’t Microsoft’s issues, these are individual companies problems. I just hope they all catch up quickly. Other then those two programs, everything I was running on Windows XP is running great on Vista.

So overall Has Vista been worth the headaches for me? Yes. The jump in performance means the world to me. However, if you don’t have a powerful system, Vista might just do the opposite for you. Finally, my biggest gripe is Vista’s price tag, it’s just too expensive for the average consumer. And the affordable basic edition is nothing short of a joke. Nowadays, would you buy a car without an AC and heater? So why buy the Basic Edition which is missing so much features that sure you can live without, but why should you.  So I leave you with this, do your research before you upgrade. Make sure the software that is important to you will work on Vista and that your system is powerful enough to take advantage of Vista. If those two requirements are met, and you have the cash for it, go for it. I’m sure you won’t ever look back. But for everyone else, wait a while.

Puffy Eyes

Apply cotton balls dipped in ice-cold whole milk or cream for 5-10 minutes.

The reason it works is the high fat content of these liquids provides a moisturizing treatment for the delicate skin around the eyes and helps reduce puffiness. I can even
