Jin, I think you might have asked on the OMG thread, but since the hair discussion is here .... I think it is mainly a lighting issue ... it was blonde and dark this time and was last time. I have a little more blonde, but only in places you couldn't see in the previous avatar since it was such a close up. I still have the dark, but it was a much brighter place.

I dated a guy who looked like a cross between John Stamos and Charlie Sheen ... really good looking guy. :)

Tom, do you really want to know if the gentle glide are gentler??? I don't think you do .... I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt.

Now we know why Patti likes Halloween. :)

Okay, okay okay...we do NOT have the Gentle Glider classification here in Canada. I know this, because I have travelled the country and likely shopped for these things in each province. Now why is that? Alex, have you seen these anywhere up here? Canadian women would appreciate gently gliding things as much as in any other country. Nikki, are they available in the UK? When I was over there I did NOT see them, nor in Paris...strictly an American thing? Man, we likely need a gentle glider more than anybody else, as it can be bloody cold through winter...And we could advertise MUCH better up here..."I'm an active woman, and I need the Gentle Glider," says a robust Canadian woman as she glides down a ski hill. :lol:

Carla- I think your hair looks great! Just for the record! :)

Yes- I know what a GENTLE GLIDE TAMPON IS. I'm a GIRL you goof (Tom) what I meant was I didn't know how King Richard knew. But not he has explained himself.

#1 - Married man

#2 - Have been sent to store a time or 2 before with VERY SPECIFIC grocery list

#3 - Prefer the manly blue box

#4 - Can never buy just what's on list...must bury said unmentionables under a stack of innocuous items.

#5 - Refuse to use coupons

#6 - Have been annointed "worlds Greatest Husband" on numerous occaisions rolleyes.gif (even awarded several distinguished service medals for meritorious achievement and going over and above the call of duty)

Hee hee!!!!!!!!!! When I was on my honeymonn in Costa rica I was accompanied by my friend which was NOT due anytime soon (I was told that getting closer to the equator whacks your body out :huh: ). Unfortunately the owner of the inn's wife was preggers at the time so no supplies so they sent Roberto out for "supplies". Try being SPECIFIC in espanol :o

Thanks. :)

I've heard of the gentle glide ones ... they've also changed the regular ones here ... Morgan and I are both upset they took the string out of the paper overwrap ... they're much more difficult to open. :P

I do love the pearls though :) although pricey the I like the braided string.

No no no!! . . ...the angle I was interested in is whether it's another bloody obvious (to the women) marketing ploy thought up by a man.

(There'd been something similar discussed on OMG quite a while back, in which I was surprised at the unanimity of disgust at some tv comm'l)

At the risk of revealing too much personal information, I can vouch for the fact that the gentle glide are more gentle.

And the cardboard applicators are HEINOUS.

blueeyedmanda Community Regular
gentle.

And the cardboard applicators are HEINOUS.

I so agree!

Roberto sounds like a good sport. :P

. . . . you goof (Tom)

Whoa! 1st I read it as "goob". :D

Yoohoo! Pseu-zee!! Whatever happened to calling everyone a goob. :blink:

I think it's a fine word & and a nice reminder of Mayberry & Gomer's cousin.

(Ack!! Why the HECK do I remember that Goob was played by George Lindsay? Can trivia be much more trivial than THAT?) :o

<tom now regrets the gentle query into the presumed men's marketing of women's products> <_<

Yup--I agree. Of course, since I've had my hysters removed, I no longer have a need for them. B)

Stupid, pinchy cardboard :angry:

nikki-uk Enthusiast
And Tom, yes, you can come to my party

Can I come Bevy Wev ...oh please...I promise I'll behave !!!!

No 'Gentle gliders' here in the UK :(

At the risk of freaking Tom out (Richard can take it - he's married) I am strictly a Tampax brand girl .Do NOT like the plastic applicator types (doesn't flush)

Stupid, pinchy cardboard :angry:

:lol: Ooooer, yes, ...OUCH !!!! :lol:

blueeyedmanda Community Regular

For some reason the cardboard always made me feel "dirty" not sure why though.

elye Community Regular

I'm a cardboard girl myself. You just flush it away...gone forever, and totally biodegradable. Don't find it pinchy. So, are the Gentle Gliders (sounds like a freaking Olympic syncronized swim team) cardboard or plasic? Bev, did Roberto find you gliders in Costa Rica?

jerseyangel Proficient

Lookie here--free gliders!

Me, too, but I've clogged too many plumbing pipes with the applicators, so stopped trying to flush them about 20 years ago!

That was the one thing my mom harped about the most when we lived at home. My sisters and I all used tampons, religously. My moms biggest thing was they are not flushable even if the box says they are.

CarlaB Enthusiast

Yeah, the most mortifying time was when I was staying at my step-aunt's while my mom and step-father were gone. I flushed ... I even waiting till it discintegrated ... a few minuted later, the ceiling started leaking in the first-floor dining room out of where the light fixture was. I don't know if they ever figured out what caused it, but based on the timing, it was apparent that I had. :ph34r: It was a newly-renovated historic house.

Mtndog Collaborator

OMG- I take a nap and wake up in Tampon Hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually, I have a confession, I hate them all, even the gentle gliders (that synchronized Olympic team). Just don't feel like THOSE belong THERE :ph34r:

You are ALL invited to my party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And while I was sleeping, Uncle ray was at it:

Choosing A Wife

A man wanted to get married. He was having trouble choosing

among three likely candidates. He gives each woman a present of $5,000 and watches to see what they do with the money.

The first does a total make over. She goes to a fancy beauty salon gets her hair done, new make up and buys several new outfits and dresses up very nicely for the man. She tells him that she has done this to be more attractive for him because she loves him so much.

The man was impressed.

The second goes shopping to buy the man gifts. She gets him a new set of golf clubs, some new gizmos for his computer, and some expensive clothes. As she presents these gifts, she tells him that she has spent all the money on him because she loves him so much.

Again, the man is impressed.

The third invests the money in the stock market. She earns several times the $5,000. She gives him back his $5,000 and reinvests the remainder in a joint account. She tells him that she wants to save for their future because she loves him so much.

Obviously, the man was impressed.

The man thought for a long time about what each woman had done with the money he'd given her.

Then, he married the one with the biggest boobs.

Men are like that,

you know.

There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research. This means that by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them. :D

      PS... I help care for someone in their 90s, albeit part time, but have just been in hospital for a while with him and it has reminded me, even for someone in better physical shape, which I am now, thankfully, it can be very tough on one's health/sleep/mood.  I think what I am trying to say is you are going through a lot all at once, it is not surprising that you are not feeling 100 per cent. Even if we love our relative to bits, and they love us, they often can't understand that we too have lives, and need to keep our houses, families and jobs in running order. Something has to give, but it's often the carer!  When a loved one is resistant to change, it makes things even more exhausting.  Often it has taken a crisis for me to be able to introduce the help that has actually been needed for so long.  It sounds as if you are doing an amazing job but can you get any support from any carers associations or other groups where you live, which might help?

      hmm you got me curious as I have suspected that certain foods with sugar may be an issue for me so I googled this and came up with this: " Key Compounds Causing Reactions in Gluten-Free Foods: Fructans: Often found in foods that are gluten-free but high in fiber (e.g., inulin, chicory root), acting as a trigger for digestive issues similar to gluten. Fructose (Fructose Malabsorption): A sugar found in fruits, honey, and high-fructose corn syrup. Some individuals cannot properly absorb this sugar, leading to fermentation in the gut. Sugar Alcohols (Polyols): Examples include mannitol, sorbitol, and xylitol, commonly added to gluten-free, sugar-free products to maintain sweetness. Lactose: A disaccharide found in dairy that frequently causes issues in individuals with damaged gut linings, a common occurrence in celiac disease.  These reactions are often classified as dietary intolerances (such as fructan intolerance or fructose malabsorption) rather than allergies. They are commonly found in packaged "gluten-free" products like bars, cereals, and processed snacks. " hope this helps.

      Hi @EvieJean I was delighted to read @hjayne19's comments about A LIfe at Last as the book definitely helped me to understand how anxiety works.   You may be suffering from vitamin and mineral deficiencies which will can contribute to and even cause anxiety. Have you had any tests done?  If you have and 'normal' results , do take a second look at the levels.  Low normal, for instance, in iron and B12, may still be causing you anxiety, so you may need to consider supplementation.  (If you do this, best talk to your GP, particularly regarding iron, as it needs regular monitoring. - too much in the blood can be dangerous) When I was first diagnosed, my GP was happy when my ferritin levels were c. 11 n/gL (just on the cusp of our local normal lab readings) whereas a consultant I saw some months later for continuing mouth issues said, 'Far too low! and told me my levels should at least be at 40.   Another example is B12 -  in some countries a reading of 500 is considered the start of normal levels, in the UK normal range starts at 180 n/gL.  I feel much better when my B12 is at a higher level. If you are feeling depressed and generally stressed I'd also consider reading Dr Steve Llardi's book The Depression Cure which aims to address these issues with   physical exercise,  omega-3 fatty acids, natural sunlight exposure,  restorative sleep and social connectedness.  I have given this book to many people who found it helpful, and a relative of mine who is a doctor thinks it is fantastic.   The run up to my diagnosis and for some time afterwards I had terrible brain fog, insomnia and intrusive thoughts.  In time, with the supplementation, and also the above books, I did feel so much better.  I really hope that you can find some help with the above, and remember, try to keep your diet as gluten free as you can.  Also, please come back to us if you have any further questions. Cristiana

      @EvieJean Im sorry you’re going through that. I also find it frustrating to navigate different medications. However, it sounds like you have some bad anxiety - I went through and am going through the same thing. One of the posts in this chain recommended a book to me called “a Life at Last” by Paul David. I can honestly say it changed my life. Once you stop trying to think and fix your way out of anxiety it can bring a lot of peace. I found by taking these methods and suggestions into my daily life it did in fact improve my sleep! I also did a full blood panel and found my vitamin d was on the lower end. So currently taking vitamin d and feeling alot better. It sounds like you’ve had repeated gluten exposure so your gut may be delayed in healing. I’m no expert by any means but I really suggest reading the book and hopefully it’s a start!  @EvieJean Im sorry you’re going through that.
