I'm with V'scope on not much embarassing me. I've had to make the dreaded trip to the drugstore more than once. No matter how much other stuff you buy to hide the fact your buying something with wings that doesn't fly, it always seems like the flightless pad "always" (is that where they get the name?) requires a price check :blink:

Good guffaw Richard, nearly blew coffee out my nose on this one....

and as far as INVITING men here....well we'd better send the Geese and dingos (um, reference to our security task force in the OMG thread for those who don't know) to fetch Steve - yes, poor STeve, doesn't know he's been sucked into anoother thread while he's minding his own business...... :lol:

Patti - ancient - I think not!! wow - permanently straightening hair...another thing I"ve done to myself :ph34r::o worked rather well - much better than the coloring experience.....too many other chemicals on hair to do it now - -

Gray's - - my prediction - - Meredith is going to get way too exhausted dating both of these guys - there will be a meltdown at some point - - but HOW can theylet her be wtih McDreamy, they would NEVER give us that satisfaction......they will torture us.....

Hi Kristy - OMG she wears color-coordinated nail polish - - should we let her in - - :lol::lol::o:lol: (totally kidding, of course you can come - you and PixieGirl can be the glamour divas).....

My husband is like Richard and Vincent in regard to not being embarassed to buy certain personal products. Actually, if the cashier is a guy, I get kinda embarassed. :ph34r:

Susan--I decided against any highlighting in light of the straightening. You're right--don't want to damage the mane. :D Not too much, anyway :unsure:

Good God, not THE GEESE! :blink: I guess we should be thankful there aren't any ill-tempered penguins in the area - there AREN't any ill-tempered penguins here....are there? :huh:

Patti... omg... another twin phobia... I hate to go get personal things at the store too... :lol::ph34r:

:ph34r: Isn't that funny! I really think my husband is less embarassed than I am :lol:

Related story--I used my last 2 emergency Immodiums before I went to the salon. (anxiety in full swing) So, I'm in CVS on the way home buying more. All I could think of was--"this guy probably thinks I have D"!! :lol::lol:

hahahaha, Patti, that made me laugh.

One of my personal favorites was buying beer (for hubby), Imodium in large quantities (for me), and um, "protection" (for both of us, so yall figure that one out.) I stood in line with a straight face and was beet red.

I read somewhere that the most shoplifted items are condoms and Preparation H. Now there is a joke in there somewhere...

Patti, I'm the same way. My husband has no qualms whatsoever. So maybe we should just be embarassed with the unmarried cashiers. :unsure::ph34r:

Ok, Celia.....we can be triplets in this instance. Let me in. :lol:

The store I buty "protection" at has everything back by the pharmacy so I pay there. Nice and convenient.

I have used preparation H under my eyes, as models do, for puffiness...not only did I stink like cod, it burned and did not work.....

I would NEVER buy beer at the same time, I still get carded once in a while, so it might slow my getaway...

You've just shattered my dreams of Cindy Crawford, or should I say "stinky fish-faced" SUPERmodel Cindy Crawford.

FYI supermodels aren't supermodels because they are smart :) I wouldn't take any advice from them :P

They even use duct tape as a "lift" for their assets.

No more Cosmo for you! (or me) ;)

Oh, bad choice of birds, I didn't mean THAT Penguin (notice the capitalization). I meant ill mannered-kiwi's, no that'll tick of the NZlanders...Dodo's- they're extinct, right?

aaaaaaaaaaaagh excellent :lol: but I'll tell you something, Cindy Crawford is genetically gifted and perfect...I don't think she even GETS puffy eyes and most likely doesn't stink like fish - ever :angry::lol:

She's not ill-tempered though.

Someone should send her a pm inviting her to this thread. Laura could use another ish-ish. Were there any other ish-ish's?

She has her own infomercial now. She is hawking some ageless beauty cream for 4 easy payments of $29.95 you too can turn back the clock... "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful" (I know, that was Kelly LeBrock - at least she married Steven Segal before he weighed 300 lbs and lost his mind)

      oops my gluten challenge was only 12 days It started Jan 21s and ended Feb 1st worst 12 days of my life Does not help that I also started on a thiazide-like drug for rule in/out renal calcium leak at the exact same time No clue if that could have been symptoms worse 🤔

      so do you have celiac or not? 🤔 why are your vision issues undiagnosed? 😢 what does your ophthalmologist say?  do you have a serious vit A deficiency? what do you take for it? how long have you had celiac disease and how long did  it take to get a diagnosis?   if you are legally blind there are adaptive devices that will help you. I have vision difficulties as well but did not qualify (at least not yet)   do you have a vit A deficiency? why are you undiagnosed? what does your ophthalmologist say? I have a retinal specialist and he tells me my eye condition can not be fixed- until/unless it gets to the point of where surgery is safer since the surgery can leave me actually blind... so you want to wait til it gets really bad 🤪     I hope you find what works for you.    PS   the medication I started at the same time as the gluten challenge is obvious from the condition it's trying to treat. you can google it 😉 it is not an for any auto immune condition.

      during the gluten challenge I did not consume any wheat germ   the wheat germ is TOASTED - it's the only way it is sold now afiak doesn't matter I consume vast amounts of lectin containing foods PROPERLY prepared and have for well over a decade. They do not bother me in the least.    no anemia however the endo who ordered the celiac panel is the one who suggested the 2 week gluten challenge of eating at least 2 slices of bread per day or a serving of pasta- ALSO put me on a new drug at the same time (not a good idea)  I ate 4 slices because they were thin, or 2 English muffins, and just once some lasagna that someone else made since I stopped eating wheat pasta years ago. The English muffins caused some of the worst symptoms but that pc of lasagna almost killed me ( not literally but the pain was extreme) during those 12 days there were at least 3 times I considered going to Urgent Care.   This entire process was a waste of time TBH due to being on that new drug at the exact same time. it is impossible to tell if the drug I am taking for the possible renal calcium leak is working or not- given the dramatic response to the gluten challenge and resulting nausea (no vomiting) and eventually a loss of appetite and lower intake of foods so now I have a dangerously low potassium level   I don't have a simple case of celiac or no- I have an extremely complicated case with multiple variables I am seeing an endocrinologist for a problem with the calcium sensing glands - that system is very complicated and she has been unable to give me a firm diagnosis after many tests with confusing and often alarming results. She also appears to be inexperienced and unsure of herself. but I don't have the luxury of finding a new endo due to multiple issues of insurance, lack of drs in my area, money and transportation. so I'm stuck with her At least she hasn't given up    in any case I can assure you that lectins are not and never were the problem. I know they are a favorite villain in some circles to point to, but I have ZERO symptoms from my NORMAL diet which DOES NOT contain gluten. The longer I went without bread or foods with wheat like raisin bran cereal, the better I have felt. my body had been telling me for several years that wheat was the problem- or maybe specifically gluten, that remains to be seen- and stopping eating it was the best thing I could have done   I almost had unnecessary MAJOR SURGERY due to joint pain that I ONLY have if I am eating bread or related products I assumed it was the refined grains - never really suspected gluten but it does not matter I won't put that poison in my body ever again not that it is literally poison but it is def toxic to me
