I am about to try Natural Progesterone for years getting progressively worse and worse i have had facial hair coming in which i will tweeze almost daily . it also grows as what men call a happy trail from my belly button to my pubic hair line and stray hairs in my aureoles.. i have not seen if this is related to low levels of Progesterone or not but intend on looking this up as well. it started about the same time as the facial hair in my mid 20's and by 30 it was more than 5 hairs now it is over 50 they grow over my lip on my chin and my neck. very annoying and embarrassing. i also have not been able to conceive..I have never had a child and did when i was 17 now 36 had a miss carriage have not had a pregnancy scare since.even during long term relationships with more than once weekly sexual relations. I also had a promiscuous ex husband who cheated on me and i though that the std he brought me home that was misdiagnosed for years as a yeast infection and badder infection was the cause of my infertility..lately i have been getting emotional , depressed and tire easily i attributed this to my new as of 6 mo ago night job. but I noticed a few menstrual cycles ago that i was having an irregular cycle i have always had a 2 1/2 to 4 day long period every 29 days to the letter.. very short.. and i have tried to figure out when i ovulate but have had no luck.. recently i have been having irregular cycles. and staining ..and pressure like menstrual bloating. especially over the last 2 yrs i have also noticed i am aging more rapidly my face is not a taught at it used to be the skin under my chin and on my neck seem to have lost some of it's elasticity and i have put on weight not a lot but a good 15 to 20 lbs.my sex drive also has gone way down..from where it used to be.. i can go months with out thinking about sex and don't feel like being touched it actually annoys me .after reading some of this book.. what your doctor may not tell you about premenopause by John R. Lee MD I am beginning to think that all my troubles are one in the same..I also have a sugar craving that sometimes is insatiable.. I have found all of these signs in Natural Progesterone web sites and this wonderful book I intend on doing something about this when i get my next pay check .. and get some wild yam cream Natural Progesterone I will post a fallow up if this page is still here as to if it worked.. I also intend on eating less sugar caffeine and non free range meats. I have almost cut out red meat all together as of now and have begun eating locally grown produce more regularly.. you will find this info also on myspace.. in hopes that it will help others who might be experiencing the same...good luck to all .. quantumdreamer Here is a link that might be useful: my myspace.

I also had new (light colored) granite installed in mid December. About three weeks after the install, we began to notice the green. After much time and effort researching the problem we found out we have green bloom. Our green bloom is around where the fabricator cut out the sink, faucet and soap dispenser. We have had both the stone distributor and the fabricator out to see the problem. Stone distributor confirms it is not a stone problem (no minerals in our stone which would cause green discoloration)! Fabricator insists he didn't do anything to the stone during fabrication that would cause the green! He assured us he does not use the products that cause the green bloom?????? We contacted the Granite and Marble Institute and they confirmed for us that our problem was caused by products used during fabrication. After all the discussions and denials we have decided to try to resolve the problem ourselves using a (recommended) product called Mangia Macchia. The last thing we want is to replace our granite (spending more $$$$ or suing someone and then dealing with the mess of replacement and the problem of finding granite we like again). As we move forward trying to remove the green bloom, it is our understanding that the product needs to be applied multiple times before you see results. We began the first treatment yesterday. We took before and after pictures so we can document the results of what the product does to the green bloom and our sealed granite! If Mangia Macchia does not work we have a bigger problem since our fabricator refuses to admit they are at fault! I will keep you posted as to our progress resolving our horrible green bloom problem. Hopefully, this posting will help others who have experience the same problem and have been told by their fabricator and distributor they never heard of or have seen this situation before!!!!!

So far, I was able to remove the second stain (with the power bar); but am having difficultly with the first one (old brown bag lunch). So far, no water marks, but second stain area is still drying after I blotted as much as I could. The second stain seems to be more of a dryish stain, whereas there was something in the lunch (fruit I think) that had spoilt and leaked through the fabric. Looks like chocolate milk was spilt there, but there was no container in the snack when I found it. The location is not ideal either since it's in the seams, welting and zipper area. I hate to have to bring in an upholstery cleaner as other than this stain the sofa is spotless as we rarely use it. I am just really upset at my DD (she claims she did not stuff her lunch back there, but bag had her name on it). I can't figure out why it was put there--perhaps younger DD trying ot get older one in trouble, who knows. I would be less upset if they had been sitting there and spilled some food because at least it was an accident, but this seems deliberate and now may have ruined an expensive sofa. It's in the corner and completely hidden by the cushion so could be worse. Sometimes I get so upset with her disregard for our possessions--there are pen marks on the family room sofa which I have to get out from time to time because she sits there, does her homework, leaves cap off pens. Still she is a straigh-A student taking all honors classes, really good in many ways, no trouble with drugs, etc. so in large scheme of things, I suppose I should not complain.... Oh well, I've not given up I can get it out and may end up taking just the cushion to the dry cleaner or perhaps I should get the Folex and try it. I've used that before for carpets (when we used to have carpets). It always worked well.

I'm not 100% sure, but my general approach would be to find something that would bind the grout cleaner. For example, I recently spilled oil on my couch, so I threw a box of baking soda on it for a day and it absorbed the oil right out of the fabric. I don't know what your grout cleaner is made from, so I'm not sure what would absorb it. In your situation, I would call the grout cleaner manufacturer and ask for their recommendation. I wouldn't put hydrogen peroxide on wood floor without first talking to the manufacturer, as hydrogen peroxide seems like it would be pretty harsh on wood. As a last resort, you could try sanding, staining, and poly-ing that small section of the floor if you know the stain color. Just keep in mind that since it's been sitting for 2-3 days, the stain may have gone deeper than you could reasonably sand. I'm so sorry about your situation :( Hopefully the manufacturer will have some thoughts. Post back if you figure out how to fix it.
