Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
I was flabbergasted that a woman who had lived at least 6 decades could be tricked, pressured and practically robbed. The slick salesman knew how to spot his victims. I am sure 100% of them are women, middle age and up who are trying desperately to look young-er.
I’m keeping every one of my wrinkles .
I’ve earned them !!
I've nothing against people keeping up whatever beauty regimen makes them happy and taking care of their looks - it's good for morale, and if it's a nightly ritual it can help with sleep hygiene too. What disturbs me is that so many of the effective cosmetic surgery procedures (I don't include the utter-hooey snake oil type) make people look not so much younger as just... peculiar. You can't see the wrinkles or the deep creases or the wattles, but what you do see is some kind of weird avatar, often of a much loved person.
And the things young women are doing! Ohmygod! They look like they've had their faces inflated. I hope this fashion for lip fillers and cheek plumpers passes really quickly.
It’s a guy who is extremely vain! 😆 He is addicted to plastic surgery and different facial stuff!
He lies about his age on Facebook and people that graduated college with him tell him that it’s impossible for him to be that young! 😆
He’s in his 50’s. I guess it could be a midlife crisis or something. He is very entertaining! I’m getting to where I’m not surprised by anything he does anymore!
I agree. I’ve admired very tastefully done facelifts , eye lifts, or nose jobs. But there is some plastics done now that look so peculiar. I know someone that keeps getting fillers in her lips . They put so much in her upper lip it’s like a duck bill now , and it doesn’t move when she talks . When she tries to smile it looks like she has a swollen lip from a fist fight .
More and more male celebs are doing plastic surgeries and torturous treatments that typically done by women. The results after getting too many of these are pretty … awful.
How does a person spend $10,000 on make up? I am flabbergasted by this as well!
He called me today laughing at me, saying that I am too “old fashioned.!” 😆 He can do his vampire facials. I am not joining him!
I had a dream that I found a hidden stash of money, I started pulling out the cash, the more money I pulled out of this area, the more money that I saw still in there. It was a never ending stash of cash!
Then I woke up and thought that I was rich, until I realized that I was dreaming and said to myself, ‘Nope, I’m not rich, I’m like most people. middle class.” It was a fun dream though 😊.

by the way, i'll also be gone a while.

I agree! $600 for facial cream is insane!
I’m so sorry. That must be awful. Be careful. I certainly hope that you won’t fall.
His first bout was huge. His BP and heart rate seesawed so fast he passed out and hit the ground. He had 3 more episodes, and each one lessened in severity. He hasn’t had one in over 5 years. No idea what started them or why they stopped. Just so relieved.
Good luck to you!
Your husband had a great doctor who helped you to see these signs. We aren’t as fearful when we know what to look out for.
Thanks for sharing this information. Others who suffer with this issue will be helped by your advice.
Life for most is pretty mundane with repetitive daily tasks and obligations. Holidays are a way for people to get out of that daily grind and relax a little.
The sad part for me is how few holidays there are in a year.
the Church in many instances took the pagan day and made it a religious day because it was "easier" to get people to accept the religious aspect if it somewhat was at the same time as a day they "normally" would have celebrated. And it may also have been due to the fact that pagan rituals could be carried out under the guise of religious celebration.
