I’m not really all that into sports, though I do like to watch football. The last thing I ever thought I would listen to was sports radio. That changed one day when I got into the car to go to the store. My husband had left the station on ESPN, and I found that I was engrossed in the conversation. Even though the people on the sports radio show were talking about tennis, I found that many things it were talking about could be understood and enjoyed by those who didn’t necessarily like or follow tennis.
After that time, my husband was shocked that I didn’t complain when he put sports radio on when I was in the car with him. He asked me what had changed my mind, and I just shrugged. I wasn’t going to admit to him that I enjoyed listening to sports radio, or he would have insisted on having it on all of the time. While I was interested in what I was hearing, that doesn’t mean I want to hear all the time. It’s good listening once in awhile, but I’m not that into sports, and after while I know I would tire of it.

If you really like sports radio, there are many different places you can find what you’re looking for. It use to be that ESPN was one of the only place for you could really find great sports coverage, but there are many other places that have picked up on this trend. If you search around the dial on your radio, you will find that there are many different sports radio programs from which to choose. You will have to decide who you like and who you want to listen to. As with anything else, there are some shows that will appeal to you while others will grate on your nerves.
Sports radio is also great if you live near your favorite team. My husband likes the Buffalo Bills, but the games are blacked out if the stadium does not sell out a certain percentage of the seats. This means that if he wants to know what is going on with the game he has to listen to sports radio to get the play-by-play as the game goes along. This may be true of other teams in other sports as well. If you cannot watch the game on television, you can always tune into sports radio to see if you can find it being broadcast on the air. This way you don’t have to miss out on an important game, even if it was blacked out or you could not afford to go in person.

Coping with your Menopausal Emotions
By Joe Kirby
Coping with your Menopausal Emotions No one is sure what causes menopausal mood swings (often jokingly referred to as 'a form of never-ending PMS'), but the general consensus is that they are caused by hormonal imbalances. Menopause is when the body no longer produces eggs for fertilization, and this creates severe fluctuations in the levels of hormones within the body; progesterone, estrogen and androgens, all of these hormones help to control the levels of serotonin that is in the brain....
