don't worry - laser doesn't always work
Posted By: taxydeer on 2007-04-23
In Reply to: Arm hair trouble - sm.
I would not recommend laser to anyone. I spent thousands on it for my daughter who has hair growing in many places that it should not - she started shaving her arms - which has taken care of the situation - she uses a man's razor - which cuts much closer than the women's do. It is a hassel when she does it - but it stays smooth for a longer period of time than cream hair removers, bleaching, etc.

It doesn't always work that way though - some give but it doesn't come back like that nm

No worry here - all I ever do anymore is work.

Yes - does not work! Hoax if you ask me. MetaboLife doesn't work either.
The only thing that works for me is exercise and eating correctly! No quick fix, unfortunately.
Why doesn't your son work? (sm)
I understand with all those children it may not even be worth it for the mom to work (child care would take all her earnings) but why doesn't your son work? Sounds like my sister. She has been living off of my parents for years.
Link doesn't work...

Thanks!
No...old XB works in new 360 but new doesn't work in old XB.
Hope that answers your question.
PPS! (And if Prozac doesn't work for the cat, - sm
then maybe I'll just cut my losses and take the Prozac myself. I'll need it by then!
But that philosophy doesn't work unless
practiced from the beginning. You can't expect a child who has been virtually allowed to make no decisions from the get-to to be capable of making them later.
I completely agree with your philosophy, but I think at this stage in the OP's situation, it may be too late for that.
I actually insisted my daughter make her own decisions since she was able to communicate. Of course, you don't let them run out in the street if they want, but I taught her right wrong, guided her (which included punishment guidelines for inappropriate behavior), and gave her my opinions, but for the most part, she was in control.
When they're able to make the little decisions (like the example you gave) when they're young, they are more equipped to graduate into the more important decisions down the road.
My DD is 21 now and I feel like the luckiest mom in the world because other than just menial, normal things/stressors, she's really been just a wonderful child.
I'm not saying I'm mom of the year because I do believe in the 'bad seed' theory and I just think she'd have turned out good if the wolves had raised her, but I do believe she has a certain confidence in herself that is a result of being able to make choices and suffering the consequences or reaping the benefits.
I've gone on way too long, but I just wanted to say that I totally agree with your post and even though every child is different, they do need to learn how to make decisions, just like they learn how to talk. But you can't throw it at them all of the sudden... jmo ;-)
Just want to say one more thing. I've know many kids there were raised 'do it my way or no way' and just about every one of them are the worst behaved kids outside of the presence of their parents. And what's really bad is they're sneaky about it. They've mastered how to get away with things because they have to... and that's dangerous...
Maybe it doesn't work for everyone, but it can happen
Don't let this poster discourage you. Maybe that's her experience, but but it can be done. My sister-in-law and her ex-husband (as well as my sister-in-law's current husband) are all friends. Even though they've been divorced for years, my kids still call him Uncle Tom and he is invited to all family parties and always spends the holidays with us.
Timeline doesn't work
The time line on this supposed event doesn't work. She finished the play and immediately boarded a jet for Cali = even on a private jet we're talking a 5 hour flight. She was photographed with Tom in Cali that night. Where in the world would she have had time to go to this detox center?
I now have spent WAY too much time on this really goofy topic.
There's a lot of talk about DE, but the fact is, it doesn't work.
I base this on my own experience. What does work, is this...
First, mow as directed. Apply a formulation of horticultural oil and water. If you don't know what to use ask your nursery or farm supply sote, also called 'dormant' oil. The same stuff you spray on your fruit trees in the Spring. Use the "summer" formulation, some soap (like dawn) may also be added as a 'spreader'. Spray at the reccomeded rate. Try to do this on a cloudy day or in the evening. Burning of foliage may occur, especially if it has been hot and dry. Do a small test spot if you are unsure and adjust accordingly. The oil (and/or soap) will smother the mites and severly limit numbers available for reproduction.
You can also use sulfur dust (aka flowers of sulfur). Use the recommended rate. The action here is that sulfor dioxide (SO2) is formed by oxidation in the presence of sunlight and kills the pest. The sulfur will also kill other insects, possibly the beneficials as well. Do not, and I repeat DO NOT use oil and sulfur at the same time , that is unless you want to kill everything. But, if you do that is a great way to go about it, much better than defoliants.
Best of luck
Exactly, he doesn't have to work so I've assigned him the job of Mr. Mom...
It works for us. I didn't realize how much he did for me with all the errand running etc until he hurt his foot once..I was exhausted trying to do his jobs and mine too. That is when I learned to appreciate what I had. I can't remember now what it was like being a single parent and how I did it. It is hard work.. and don't you think I haven't said a prayer every day to God for bringing me my guardian angel. He has changed my life 100%. I was the one on an earlier post who told of my abusive prior marriage so I paid my dues and this is what I was blessed with.
PS - Don't you remember Prohibition? It doesn't work. nm

Though it doesn't work for everyone, feverfew can often be helpful. sm
It won't stop a migraine in progress, or lessen its severity, but when taken on a regular basis (and generally after taking it for a period of time) many (including me) feel that it dramatically reduced the number of migraines one gets.
You could check Amazon.com if copying doesn't work. nm

I have been told that pepper spray doesn't always work
She probably could benefit from self-defence classes as well.
Oops..you actually need to surround the key in a blob of the silicone so it doesn't work loose.

laser treatments?
I'm addicted to waxing everything below the chin. I've never done my face though, except my brows.
Might want to try laser hair removal
Shaving/waxing will get tedious after a while. Laser hair removal is pretty effective these days and not terribly expensive. I had it done on my legs and I'd say about 90% of the hair is completely gone. The remaining hair is much finer but it does grow back just as fast (they say it grows back slower, but it doesnt). As far as I know there is no laser removal that will guarantee 100% removal yet, but even with the 90% or so that I got, I think it was worth the money.
Worry about finances but don't worry about insurance. sm
Most of the time, the father is awarded through court to provide insurance on the children as well as child support. If not, you might would qualify for some assistance on healthcare for the children. There are a lot of programs out there now. You could always try to find an employee position although that doesn't seem to easy this day and time. In the end, money does not buy happiness nor love.
Are you going to laser your veins? Places here in NY say to have it done on your lunch hour!

Hey, have at it. If you want a lazy, apathetic, not affectionate, doesn't listen, doesn't make

It doesn't make me mad but it doesn't sound intelligent either (sm)
I am sure if all of those people who were aborted were living, some would be good and some would be bad, in the same proportion as there is good to bad now. Your statement makes no sense. So somehow the babies who were aborted were meant to be aborted because they were bad seeds? Whatever. Sorry, that's just silly.
Don't worry...
My last pregnancy my dates were off by a week also and my little girl was born 12 weeks ago tomorrow...healthy at 7 pounds 2 ounces...
Not to worry
He probably just wants to know what it feels like to wear diapers. The fact that he does it by himself in private says that he understands that you would not approve of it.
If he were regressing, the diapers would not be clean - they would be soiled.
It's not that unusual and absolutely nothing to be concerned about. If he is still doing it in 3 mos., I would talk to the pediatrician. But for now, let him be.
don't worry
I live outside Cleveland (Lake Erie) and you can only go to the beach a few months a year!
You still worry, but sm
after in college, even you pay the bills, they are adults, and deserve freedom and privacy. My house my rules sucks, for everyone. Let go. It will be okay.
More than that, I would worry about the
fact can you get insurance coverage there or if so, can you keep it? I am hearing loads of people being denied insurance on the coast and even people who have not been threatened or hit by these hurricaines, as higher up the east coast, insurance is being cancelled right and left. I love the coast line to visit but I would really have cause to think this 1 out really well.
Don't worry but...
this happened to two of our older cats (various times in my life) where they would get antsy and roam around and eventually would keep trying to get outside (not outdoor cats either) and when this happened they passed away and were found dead just of old age...Someone once told me and I do not know if it is true or not that some cats will want to up and run away when they know it is time to die...it is like an instinct. I don't know if I believe that or not, but it has happened twice to me...once when I was a child and later as an adult...so sad.
Thank you and don't worry, I'm
not listenting to the one negative post I got. I know what's best for my kids and I know giving them nurture and ALL my love is what is best. Like I said before, he is still scared to sleep upstairs and I only wish we knew we were going to have kids when we built our 2-story! Things would have been different and it would have been a 1-story, but oh well, you work with what you've got!
What me worry?
You see I named it "Mother of the Year" that was tongue in cheek referencing their mother.
Don't worry about it yet - sm
Having raised four totally different kids, I can tell you their personalities, development, everything was completely different.
One walked at 8 months (seriously) and another didn't walk until she was well over a year. The same late walker, never crawled, never bothered to learn to speak very much until she was about two. Her sister is very close in age (older) and they had this secret language that only they understood and big sis "translated" everything for her baby sis. Baby sis didn't have a reason to walk, talk, or anything else. She had three older siblings (the two older ones were 6 and 9 years older) who did everything for her.
Don't sweat it yet. Could just be a late bloomer. My late bloomer is now 15 and I can't get her to sit still or shut up! LOL

It's tough to tie ourselves up with something like this. I completely understand. During the past few years my husband has lost his job, got a new one, I have lost income to various reasons (mostly not enough work) but have managed to stick with the plan.
Sometimes it hurts just a little bit for sure.
In your situation, maybe you can set your limits a little lower according to your income each month but maintain one constant... the one you are trying to pay off. Other things can slide a little bit if they need to but just maintain that one bill that you are putting the bigger money on.
I should have mentioned earlier too - Car insurance!
Did you know that some companies offer you a tiny little discount when you pay every 6 months or once a year, rather than once a month?
I now pay about $30 less every year because I pay every 6 months. I know, it's only $30 but it is what it is right?
While everything may not really be negotiable, that's the attitude I have adopted and it has helped me change my money habits for sure.
So what if they tell you no the first time, or the second time, or even the third. Keep asking.
By the way, if you remember the name of that book, please post it. I would be interested in reading it too. Maybe there is something else I have missed that I could be doing.
I used to worry because I also have
no children and will not be a burden to my niece and nephew. I'm 52 now but am making plans for the future. I plan on moving into a 55+ condo, have insurance where I will be taken care of and socking away every penny. Otherwise I have no worries and enjoy being this age. I don't think I would want to be in my 20 and 30's again.
Should Alzheimer's set it and I am wandering around in the neighborhood with just my undies on, at least I'll think it's okay. But that is my biggest fear - not having my mind.
I do not think we have to worry there, now do we?
Looking at the audience in the RNP convention, no diversity at all so that is not a worry on my mind in the least bit. I told my daughter who is mixed, and wobbling back and forth about who to vote for, to just look at the gatherings on both sides- if on the republican she could count at least 10 black faces there, then vote that way. Just could not be done actually.
Don't do it and don't worry about it. sm
It's called chemistry, and this time it's only on your part. I'm too old to remember how it feels, but I do remember feeling intense physical attraction and infatuation in my much younger days, ha ha.
You can't get arrested for what's you're thinking. You also can't think of two things at once. If you find yourself fantasizing about this kid, just replace that thought immediately with another one--say, a task that needs doing in your home, or watch the news on TV.
Age difference is often no respecter of persons when it comes to plain ole chemistry. But self-respect and good family values are more important. You might just pray to get over it. :)
That's another worry
I am 50, so no spring chicken here, and this was all foreign to me. When I met him, I had no idea about all the dark clouds over him. He was semi-sober (he drank to toasted on weekends), which I could sort-of accept as normal, although admittedly I had outgrown that behavior about 30 years ago. A little while into the relationship, I found out that the reason for his semi-sobriety was that he was only a couple months out of prison on probation and was subject to random drug/alcohol testing at any of his Tuesday thru Friday therapy visits.
But I found him on MySpace and there was nothing in his profile to indicate he was an abusive alcoholic, and in the first couple of months, other than the Fri/Sat drinking, I never picked up on it. So I either don't have the AAdar (like gaydar, but for alcoholics) or the FLAYdar (for abusers) to have picked up on it, or I'm giving off some kind of phermone or have a 'look' that will make me a target again.
Don't worry
They go over that you may never be forgiven. They go over you may get divorced. You are off the hook. Do it while he is in treatment and he will have the support he needs and you will have the support you need to not be guilted into changing your mind.
He will change more without you, so you don't need to feel guilty.
Good luck.
Tell him to worry about his own home, and
if he doesn't like it don't come over and don't send his children over.
I hate it when people behave this way. HAPPY HALLOWEEN
I have lots more to worry about as well - sm
I have a 6-y/o daughter that is only 1 year out from her chemo for kidney cancer and has been having some worrying symptoms lately, I have bills, I have lots of home strife to deal with , I have a DH who acts younger than my kids half of the time and cannot deal with any major problems and has undiagnosed depression and possibly bi-polar. I carry a heavy load here so you are not the only one in this world with problems. OH, I am in the USA too, so what does that have to do with anything? The coat just angered me beyond belief, maybe it is the straw that broke my back, my way of venting, who knows, but it something I can at least try to take some action on and maybe get it back. I cannot control my daughter's cancer recovery, all I can do is watch and wait and see if we make it to 5 years recovery without any recurrence, for the bills I am trying to work harder and make more money, for my DH I just deal with him the best I can and do pretty well but not all the time. So I have trival things and big things to worry about and deal with, along with millions of others. Sorry if my kid's coat loss/theft was such a mundane topic to post about but I am/was T'eed off about it and needed to vent and get opinions if I could on this. Yours is duly noted.
Don't worry, after they have counseling
as adults and realize what they went through they will resent her for it and she'll learn the hard way. Happens all the time.
Do not worry about those jobs....
Doing VR and dictator said had positive occult stools ----VR put down positive alcohol school. Lets drink up folks!!!
I wouldn't worry too much!
My husband and I, when we first got married, would go to Bath and Body Works and pick out scents that we both liked. It was something that we both enjoyed. I wouldn't put too much into it. Offer to rub some lotion on his back after his bath or hop in the tub with him!
I don't worry. Just take my massive cat along and
Funny.
I am in NJ and worry about my brother-in-law
even though the fires are not near him, things can change if those winds do not stop soon. I wish the best for your friend. Yes, everyone's spirits out there seem to be good. They go through so much with these fires and earthquakes. I believe that is what gives them the strength to deal with these disasters when they happen.
The thing that would worry me about this is that....
she could be sick. Both times I had cats do this it was because they both had cystitis. A friend of mine who works for a vet told me they associate the pain of the infection with the litter box and stop using it. I don't know how to stop the spraying if there isn't a health problem, but I would first make sure she is okay.
Don't worry about it. There is no deal.
The house doesn't meet your standards or needs, and you aren't interested.
Realtors are supposed to work for you. If you want to buy a house, she should be finding out what you want and bringing papers on homes to you for your consideration. Don't even think you have wasted her time at this point!
I had my Realtor show me every house in my price range in all of the north side of this town. She was great.
Thank goodness don’t have to worry about
things like this but really have heard about it. Ladies, I am telling you now- you have no idea how fast your life will go by- one of these days you will wake up and wonder where the years went. It makes absolutely NO sense to stay with anyone and I mean anyone unless you want to be there- love or lack of, children, family, job security or benefits, etc. etc. Your will be getting older and believe you me when I say I wish I could go back to about 40 and redo things a little. I wasted years. I never worried about making it on my own, in fact I was the money earner in the family so was in a rut and stayed there, not anymore and I will say again, even if there are loads of children, you do yourself a disservice staying in an unloving marriage.
Please try not to worry. Are you sure that are not kidney SM
stones? My opinion is the hospital sent letter as a matter of protocol. When people are discharged from ER, they usually receive followup orders. Maybe they forgot.
Followup with PCP, but try not to worry. Monday will be here soon enough.
I do not understand why the worry
Am in my 60s and never knew when my period was supposed to be, just never kept up with it. I see no problem with not having a period- I would think most women would like that. What is your concern in not having?
Don't worry - it was just one person (sm)
You can't please everyone all of the time :-)
Everyone is strange to someone :-)
You didn't do anything wrong!!
