I loved this article about a UCLA study on the friendships among women.  Apparently there's a hormone (oxycotin) released in women that help us cope with stress.  I knew something was up!  The report goes on to explain how friendships among women are the key method that relieves stress, so as soon as you're done reading this, why don't you give one of your galpals a little ringaling? women_friends-400.jpg (painting by Gustav Klimt)
