Okay interested parties! I'm experiencing some turbulence, but I think I'll be alright. HE has no where to go. No one wants to help him out. He is trying to move back to his hometown, but even his family has turned him away. It's not a nice feeling to have no one to fall back on. He was soooo confident that he'd have a place to live. He is really upset right now because he says I didn't try and I am going to be really happy now without him. Ummmm, yes.  That's what the plan is. He says I didn't try to save the marriage. Pfffft! That's all I've done. It's difficult to be nice to someone who is so terrible to be around. I have done all I can do. My sympathy for him is running very very thin, just like my patience. I am going to swallow my pride and beg for help from everyone. I'm networking. That's all I can do. I am from Illinois so I if anyone out there has information to give I'd appreciate it. He's trying to drag me down, but I won't let him. I've come too far to go back now. Be proud of me, it's okay, I won't disappoint. I can't....

The good ice cream on the ice cream truck sm
that used to go by my house. We would run out with nickels and buy cones. And yes, I do remember Mickey Mouse ice cream bars. Yum.
how much do you get paid for being "cream of their crop"
I wish you were right, but don't you know how many people are not only starting to use VR, but also starting to outsource? talk about not CARING about QA... that's happening all over the place. and I'm an extremely good MT, now an IC but as an employee several years ago had at least 99% accuracy on my QA's. It doesn't seem to matter much anymore because at least in what I've experienced, they just want to save a buck so will give the work to someone less qualified even if that means suffering quality. Plus, I've got a bit of pride and I won't work for this 6 and 8 cents a line I see people working for. and I type extremely fast! and work all day, but it's still not worth it, at least as an IC with absolutely NO benefits...
I have found taking them to a high rise for the elderly (sm)
and leaving them in the lobby for people to enjoy is a great way to make both you and some senior citizens feel pretty good.
Don't use cream of,,,,,,,
Instead of creamy mushroom soup, try the Golden Mushroom soup. I think that is what it is called. It is the dark mushroom soup. Gives a sauce with more depth and flavor. Anymore, I never use the cream of,,,,, alway use the goldren.
cream
I would recommend Oil of Olay. My mom uses it and it has done wonders for her skin. She uses the serum and night cream.
progesterone cream!!!!!!
;
I liked the progesterone cream, only
read a warning California--(by the way, why do they get to have more warning labels than anywhere else--just noticed that) where they listed something in progesterone creams that is a carcinogen, but please check that out. I was using it and stopped because of that, but I thought the cream was working great on all my symptoms.
then I switched to the wild yam, which you can buy at any health food store, and it works a little differently. you can find all the info on the net (way too long here, sorry).
I hardly have hot/cold flashes anymore. I use a combination of taking 1 Vitex (chasteberry) and 1 to 2 evening oil of primrose each day. was also taking Don Quai, but stopped for a break because it is recommended.
something to keep in mind as well I read the hot/cold flashes and nightsweats are USUSALLY temporary, like mostly just in the beginning and will most likely go away, or at least diminish.
Suzanne Somers has some great info on this, if you purchase her book, which is probably a good investment as she has thoroughly investigated the subject. She is almost 60, and claims even to get a regular period. even tells you how you can lose weight. she is amazing, only I just do not have the kind of money for her products. I listen and get bits of information, then have to put together things I can afford, haha.
do you have people you can ask at the health food store you go to?
I am NOT sure how this all works with having had a TAH/BSO.
wish you the best...
The ice cream truck
The Mister Softee ice cream truck came every evening. You could hear his bell dinging wayyyy before he got to our street. On special occasions (i.e., daddy's payday) we were allowed to go a sundae or milkshake or rootbeer float. I read in the paper just the other day that the man who started Mister Softee recently died.
We saw an ice cream truck the other day (sm)
and my daughter was so excited. But I told her I doubt it if it would come up where we live because there is too much of a spread between houses. We saw it going through a housing development. Which makes sense, but was a disappointment for my daughter (and me!!!!). I remember playing outside and hearing the music way in the distance. I would run to get dimes from my Mom or Dad. That is a VERY pleasant memory. Thanks to OP for starting this topic. 
We have an ice cream truck come through
our neighborhood every day. They have all the good stuff from the good ol' days!
Bono and vanilla ice cream.
He can wish for me and Guiness and we'd be set. 
Yes, but only if tells me to sleep all day or eat ice cream.

or the denture cream, walker AND sm
hearing aid! Good grief!
Noritate cream which is once a day application...
I take Tetracycline 500 mg twice a week and was put on a cream that had to be applied twice a day. That was impossible for me!! So, my family doctor told me about a cream, Noritate which is applied once a day. The tetracycline is good for breakouts, but I don't have to take it every day. The cream can be put on once a day, at night. So this works out pretty well for me. Good luck!!
correct on cream it is Vanicream.
Milk, Cream and Alcohol...
Oh, that's too funny with the doc prescribing a cycle of beer! There's an old blues song with the lyrics "Your doctor put you on milk, cream and alcohol." Maybe it's the same doc!
The Good Humor ice cream truck! They still
sell some of the products in the store, but it is nowhere near as good. The vanilla ice cream bars covered with toasted almonds! The half and half popsicles with flavors like rasberry and lime that were SO fruity! The Good Humor man in his white outfit! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! It was great! 
Maybe a taco bar with an ice cream sundae bar for dessert? nm

Guess it depends on how porous his skin is-- try cold cream maybe? - sm
My kids have done all sorts of stuff, usually the face cleans up except for red in my experience...fades over a week or so. But cold cream is good for make up so maybe it will work, if you don't have any handy maybe a thick moisturizer? Obviously the hands are not an issue since they won't be in the picture, you can always try a liquid make-up if it doesn't come off and if the make up does not look weird. Good luck.....you can always keep him home or arrange for him to do the make-up picture for kids who are sick...they always have a make up picture day...find out when it is and just do it then.
Again, jealous heads rearing its ugly head. When I said ice cream, sm
I meant I COULD NOT AFFORD TO BUY SQUAT for them. Give me a break. I am not going to Angel Ministries or anything else. And, you have NO idea how much I actually paid for my SUV. There are mini vans out there that take a lot more gas than my SUV!
try OTC cortisone anti-itch or Gold Bond cream first?

BBQ steak, grilled veggies, baked potatoes, watermelon, and ice cream! nm

okay, so far I want to eat dinner at your house. I'll bring hard ice cream for cobbler.nm

Mary Kay Extra-emolient night cream will work wonders
Just apply it before you go to sleep.
janebates@marykay.com
You can serve chili sauce or a chutney spread on a bar of soft cream cheese to put on

Grilled steak with salsa, broccoli and baked potatoes with sour cream -- One of my favs!

Chocolate with a chocolate ganache frosting and some extra whipped cream. nm
