Once after 3 days and again the day before we were done. I took those days off work as did the rest of us.

I started doing electrolysis last year and it absolutely sucked. It was painful and it didn't really work, plus I think it may have left a pigment scar on one side of my mouth, or maybe that was just overzealous plucking. But I would TOTALLY do that if I had the spare dough. Then I would get all the little spider veins on my face zapped off. Then I would get the bags sucked out from under my eyes. Then I would get a boob lift. Then I would get a nose job. After that, I might just get all Michael Jackson on everyone and go REALLY nuts.EBKBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14003749491584271176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8545224865359090301.post-21126545964061537632008-12-10T15:18:00.000-08:002008-12-10T15:18:00.000-08:00All I can say is, "I am glad I have one kid and no...All I can say is, "I am glad I have one kid and not two".

As you know, my fashion sense is pretty much non-existent - sorry about passing that on. I also need to see something on display in a store to know what to purchase. It's like the old saying about art that says "I don't know what is or isn't good art, I only know what I like."<BR/><BR/>As to the intellect part, I've learned that I have to evaluate what I'm good at (what I know about) and then concentrate on that. We all can have opinions on anything, but few of us (myself in particular) really only know about a few things.
