Grandparents.com is proud to announce a partnership with Fran Drescher's Cancer Schmancer, an organization dedicated to helping women fight cancer. Following is a welcome letter to our community from Fran:

Hiya, dolls!

You may know me as "The Nanny," but what you may not know is that I'm a uterine cancer survivor who took two years and eight doctors before finally being properly diagnosed. I was lucky that I was still in Stage 1, and that I'm alive today, but I got to thinking: We need to wake up! We don't know enough about our risk factors, our family histories, or the questions we should be asking our physicians. Of course we want and need a cure for cancer. And God willing, it will come!

Did your children thrill to the sci-fi and espionage books in the Choose Your Own Adventure series that was a best-seller in the 1980s? Kids would read a few pages, then be asked to choose what they, as the hero, would do next. Their choice might lead to a page where they rescued a crewmate, faced a new villain, or got themselves killed. But then they could start again and forge an alternate path through the book.

Now Edward Packer, one of the creators of the series, is back with a new set of tales, called U-Ventures, for a new generation of kids. But these stories are digital, meant to be read on a smart phone. And that's not the only place that the choose-your-own-adventure format can be found today — American Girl is now publishing books following the blueprint as well.

Bad hair days happen. They're unavoidable — but they're also funny, at least when they happen to kids. Our latest photo contest asks you to send in your favorite photos of kids' follicle follies. It's easy to enter, and easy to vote.

Jane Fonda may be 72, but she's still working out and still encouraging her fans to work up a sweat. This fall, the actress and 80s fitness-video star will release a pair of new DVDs pitched to the grandparent generation. “I know from experience and from my research how critical it is for boomers and seniors to be physically active," Fonda told People magazine. "Even if they’ve never exercised in their lives, now’s the time.” The titles go on sale on November 30.

Will you buy the new DVDs? Were you a follower of Fonda's fitness tips back in the day? Share your thoughts in the Comments area below.
