Thu 11/1/2007 12:33p | Villians - congrats on the tickets. I think you should keep it a secret too although it would be hard to keep it a secret knowing how excited she will be. You will have to let us know how you tell her. What fun!!!
We have to watch talks about crows feet. I am turning 40 in 13 days. I have no idea how I got that old. I too have used the regenerist stuff, but was not too dilligent about it either. It appears to work some. My MIL is having a face lift at the end of this month. She is doing that instead of coming to DL with us. I think I would rather have wrinkles. <g> |

Thu 11/1/2007 12:43p | LOL, I'm with you TX.. much rather have wrinkles & Disneyland than a facelift! Don't feel bad about turning 40, I turned 40 in January and it isn't as bad as what you think. 39 was harder for me because I KNEW it was the last year of my 30s. :P
My problem is that I have really sensitive skin, and for some reason, Oil of Olay products irritate it. I use a cleanser by MD Formulations that contains glycolic acid. Great stuff! I just use a daily moisturizer by Neutrogena with spf 45.
If anyone wants a suggestion on an AWESOME under-eye concealer for dark circles--- just fell in love with a product by STILA. It comes in a little tube. You just need a tiny dab. Best of all, it stays in place, even if put over moisturizer.
Okay, now I am just avoiding writing my Nanowrimo so I had better go get busy.

Thu 11/1/2007 12:59p | TX, lol! Me too! A facelift? Yikes, I thought only movie stars got them! Although, I have seen some women at weddings and stuff that look like they had them. You can always tell, b/c they don't have any expression on their face or their skin looks really tight. Not all nice and wrinkly, like mine! ;)
I have had crow's feet since I was about 18, I think, MN. I grew up in FL before there was such a thing as sunscreen. I LOVE the sun and still don't use sunscreen, anyway, except for my nose so it doesn't get all red. I have been using Eucerin creme for years at night time. The thick stuff. I lather that all over my face right before bed. There is nothing in it that I am allergic to, there is no scent or anything either. I think it helps a lot. When I go out on these little j*bs I get, (you know, once in a while now!) I alwyas have to ID the people to notarize the documents. I see their birth date on their Drivers License and many times I am amazed that they are younger than me, because they look so old! lol Then, I think, Jeez, maybe my Eucerin creme is working! :)
Speaking of skin cremes, one of my little j*bs I get here and there is working for the "Skin Study Center". It's usually around this time of year. Bascially, I am a guinea pig testing their make-up or lotion before it gets on the market. I finally got a call the other day to do a study and I couldn't accept b/c I needed to go the week we will be in DL. Yesterday, I got another call and the same thing happened. OH, and I lost my mystery shopping j*b, also! (I only made about $40 a mo. doing that for Shop Rite.)I got an email saying they were cancelling the program b/c it was getting too expensive for Shop Rite. I can't make any dough for my trip so FORGET Christmas shopping! lol
I'm impressed...I mean disgusted with TQ getting all of that shopping done by the way. I bought a CD online last night for one of my DSs. Does buying a CD player and a small refrigerator for our house count as Christmas shoppping? Nah...I didn't think so. I think in the end you will all be jealous of the bargains mater and I will be getting.
I'm excited about MMs big birthday bash coming up in Feb.! We'll all have to meet in DL to celebrate. There should be cheap airfare in Feb. ;) What was your spook show, MM?
Villains, congrats on the tix! Your DD will be so excited! (No friends or SILs going, right?) Do you still owe us a story on the car ride home? (after the restaurant?) I was kind of looking forward to reading it, but then again, I thought you'd probably rather forget about it. Did DS decide on the job? I was rooting for the Starbucks one.

Thu 11/1/2007 1:32p | Have fun at Hannah Montana!
I have not really started the kids as the appear to be the most difficult. As they get older they get harder to buy for as they what is more expensive and smaller but they still want a santa sack!
Sorry no ideas on skin creams. I am 46 and just use a moisturiser and have smile lines etc but cannot get into a routine for anything else. just lazy!
Have a great day as I am off to w**k. |

Thu 11/1/2007 2:02p | Okay, you are so going to get a lecture from me Tink! Sit down, get comfortable. The important of sunscreen-- 1) helps prevents cancer, 2) helps prevents cancer, 3) helps prevents cancer, 4) helps prevents cancer, 5) helps prevent cancer! Are you getting the idea here? Okay, so WHY am I so pushy on this subject? I never worried about it either-- until I had to have it removed from my face. I had a procedure called Mohs, done by a plastic surgeon who was able to keep the damage at a minimal and do reconstrutive right after removing the cancer to minimalize scarring. It really isn't anything to mess around with, especially if you are a sun-lover. Now, I am emphatic with my daughter about taking care of her skin. Its such a little thing to do to protect ourselves, considering the alternative. Trust me, having it removed, the stitches, the worry-- it isn't worth it! I was lucky, I had an awesome doctor! My scarring is barely noticeable, only thanks to her expertise-- however, I had stitches from the top of the crease of my nose all the way down to my lip. When we met I'd be surprised if you noticed it at all. I just don't want to see this happen to you!
End lecture--- and *hands over a tube of sunscreen* |

Thu 11/1/2007 2:31p | villains.....surprise her. Nothing better than the look on a kid's face when you're able to pull one over on them.
I'm with you guys...I'd MUCH rather go to DL than have a facelift. Now, if we were talking a boob job........
TQ...what the heck is a "Santa Sack???" Good Lord, woman...speak english.
tink...I am an obsessed watcher of all spook shows, but last night I stayed up to watch GhostHunters on SciFi. They were spending the night at Waverly Hills to look for spooks. |

Thu 11/1/2007 2:37p | Oh...almost forgot.
villains better get HER thing dealt with.
My confrontation with HIM that was supposed to occur the 16th will actually take place this sunday.
Dh mentioned this sheepishly last night, knowing that I would freak out. I had my spook show to watch, so I didn't have time to freak out. Dh DID ask if I still intended to kill HIM. I told him that I was over the idea of murder, but the Lorena Bobbit form of punishment was still an option. HIM has some "very big ones" if you all get my drift, and they need to be removed.
TQ may not know about Lorena Bobbit...who would like to enlighten her on that if need be? I vote for tink...just 'cuz. :) |

Thu 11/1/2007 2:39p | Good afternoon. Villians you are the best mom in the world right now. My DD loves Hannah Montana and would scream of excitement if she was going to a concert.
Mickey I agree with your suncare lecture. Having that tan was once important to me. I have not had one in 10 years out of fear of skin cancer.
TX- Nascar is frowned upon in this family. We watch occasionally because of Juan Montoya who raced real cars til now. My FIL works with the Champ Car series and apparently it takes skill to finish a race on the road courses they race.
As far as wrinkle cream I can't recommend any. What I need is something to prevent the wrinkles and such. I am not one for plastic surgery of any kind. I hate going to doctors unless necessary. |
