So I uploaded my pic the other day but it won't show up. It's on my control page but it won't show here.

Is there a secret to this?

I see a picture on your personal page...if that is the one you want to load, you'll need to load it as your "avatar". Um, I'm having a brain foggy moment so I can't think of the exact thing it's called, but look for something called Avatar. If that's what you did, it could be that the picture is too large and needs to be resized.

And Donna, just in case you wondered who Richard is . . . he is the founding father of this thread . . . been missing for a little while now. Have you seen him?

I actually used to hang out here in the beginning of it all, but I can't keep up with you all. I need the slower paced much more mangeable little OMG thread. Well, that or the pure nonsense makeup cult thread.

The minerals stuff is really light tho.

And see, this is how it so innocently happens...a small word here an obsession there and before you know it a mega monster makeup cult thread.

Hubby walked up and started doing the twist. I'm like "huh?". He thought I was dancing.

Its never dull around here.

OMGosh!!! That's hilarious!!!

I really feel the need to balance things out here...Wholesome Wednesday. (Okay, so THAT wasn't my FIRST thought...something along the lines of TART Tuesday first came to mind first.) Thrilling Thursday, lol... Freakish Friday...no wait...that wouldn't happen with our beloved EM makeup.

How 'bout "Sassy Saturdays"...usually the night out.....looking a little "trashy" can help spice up the night I may be getting older but I am not dead yet!

I just got a text message that my order has been delivered by DHL, and is waiting on my front porch. I ask you - how the hell am I supposed to concentrate at work for another hour knowing there is a BOX OF BEAUTY WAITING FOR ME AT HOME!!!!

cough.....cough.....hack...drool... I think I need to go home sick.

OMGosh...you must CERTAINLY be home by NOW!!!

secretly looking up nyxie's home address to go steal her make=up, since dhl only delivers for 10 more minutes im guessing mine isnt coming lol. So i cant do sassy saturdays yet. Myabe i can do tart tuesdays tho lol.

Gave myself another B12 injection. My leg hurts. I think it will fall off for sure this time!

Um, netti pots. Well, I never bought a netti pot, but I did do the nasal rinsing thing. I did it to make my allergist happy. It actually didn't help me for some reason (figures). I would actually get MORE congested...and the stuff that was in there just didn't want to some out. So right about now, that's just about up there with e-coffee for me. :lol:

Been having odd things happen lately the last couple of weeks. Pin pricks in my right big toe and left heel. And then a burning/itching that randomly comes and then goes away. No marks or rashes. Its painful and annoying. On the bright side, at least my brain seems to be a little better these days. Still have the abdominal pain. Harrumph!

Um, sounds a lot like some of my annoying symptoms. I get sudden stabbing pin prick feelings (and let me tell you that it is a HUGE pin, lol)--can be anywhere on my body...my right big toe hurts almost all the time...there's a thread about this on LN somewhere, lol. The burning/itching...the oldtimers here know my history with leg itching (which is BACK with a vengence in the last week!). And the burning...feels like my skin has a really BAD sunburn, but there is no redness or marks of any kind...hurts like heck when my clothing rubs against it...just like a sunburn would (I don't spend any time in the sun, lol).

Everyone - I just found out Jess is a spy. She's really a non-make-up-wearing scientist. Don't trust anything she says!

You know you've made it when you have spies!!!!

YC is Yeast Connection

I am feeling sooo left out My order has not come yet and I am redoing almost all of my makeup. I am ready for a new me....thinking about a Lifestyle Lift too....haven't decided how far to go...maybe the new make- up will be enough to satisfy me for now....LOL

Grrrr...I want your order to hurry up and get there too!!!

Thanks for the information Nora!

I think my house has bag feng shui, lol

I met Sherry! We had a short visit as she has much to do today still, but I'm looking forward to another visit when there is time.

OMGosh....HOW FUN!!!

Ladies . . . this is a raid!!! I'm looking for Richard!!!! What have you done with him???!!!

Mango knows what I'm talking about.

Sometimes, the silly thread just overflows . . .

Richard is not here...I suspect he is still chasing his mojo around.

well, Donna's the one that's ordered waay more makeup than she could possibly ever wear. Is it possible that sunlight concealer also disguises 5 o'clock shadow?

It just might. It seems to work on everything else.

Paula, I've never seen that message before!

Hey mine is with the delivery courier but the website still says i wont get it til monday, but maybe the courier is driving staight here and come straight to my house. I can dream right lol

Hey, delivery courrier is a GOOD sign!!! Mine usually says that on the day it will be delivered!

I really want to try waffle cone now

...

I looked like some sort of deranged zombie LOL.

Ya know, the name "new car smell" is kind of growing on me....

on the Deranged Zombie! Yes, I want a few more colors after seeing that thread too, lol. I never minded the name new car smell, but it just doesn't give a clue as to the color at all, lol.

Yay Colleen is going to have new makeup today!!!!

Okay, did any of you see this thread over at the EM forums...I thought of Mango when I saw the pictures, lol:

Open Original Shared Link

hey no more makeup for you, u have to pay an dentist bill, im just kidding.

That is a deal spend 30 to get an 10 dollar brush lol

Yeah...I actually went over and cleared out a couple of things from my cart with the intent of ordering my two kits...THEN I came to my senses and remembered the stupid dental bill. Sheesh, I could buy my much wanted Wii AND a WHOLE BUNCH of kits at EM for that, lol.

I used to post over at YC although haven't posted regularly there in a while. I think I have my same ID over there, or it could be 252dlp, lol. I'm not very imaginative about that, lol.

Oh, HOLD THE PHONE!

The kabuki they are sending out isn't listed on the brushes page anymore! AND, they have two new brushes...the angled blush and the baby kabuki (new in the sense they weren't there the last time I looked, lol).

They just extended the current special. Hate it when they do that LOL

Me too, but I did notice that the brush they are sending out is different...may be worth another order, lol.

Okay, maybe NOT, lol. Spend more than $30 to get a $10 brush, lol.

Morning everyone! I've been awake since 2:00 a.m...my first sleepless night in a few weeks now. I have still been waking up, but I've been falling back asleep pretty quickly...not last night apparently! Of course once I was awake, my mind starting thinking about the stupid dentist bill, then it went to our new little choir, then it went to the fire drill we're having at work today (I'm a searcher and so was thinking of my plan of action), lol. Stupid errant bill! See what it caused.

I think I've had a sinus infection this week. I can't believe I hardly had any symptoms...two years ago this would have laid me out for a week. I think that's why I felt dizzy and nauseated the other night, and why I sneezed like 12 times in a row yesterday morning. TMI ALERT: But I also that that shook things up because yesterday evening I blew my nose and yellow was present, lol. So I AM improving in little ways, lol.

Sherry,

Hope you are feeling better soon, AND hope you get to meet up with Andrea!!

Carla,

Wow, funny halluncinations, lol!

Kassandra,

A few months ago, I sprayed my bathroom tile with Tilex or whatever, and normally I leave the area right away, but that day I didn't...I got so sick!

it's just disgusting the amount of money these people make/charge!

It's truly insane!

Donna.... from what I know of you, I think it's better that you called when you did. I think if you'd waited till you'd calmed down, you would have been too NICE! That totally stinks. They need to agree NOT to turn you over to collections and work out a payment plan with you, even if they don't normally do that- because you specifically asked them if you owed anything, and they said no. Stuff like this burns me up!

Donna, Its good you called when you were mad. They should definately set up a payment plan for you and I am sure if you talked to the dentist directly he would, since he didn't seemed worried about it when you were in there last. Threatening collections on the first notice is pretty crappy!

Yeah, I let them have it. After explaining that I hadn't received ANY bills and that I've asked in PERSON many times if I owed anything, I said: "Please don't send me to a collection agency, I think that is highly unfair." See how rude I was! Of course I DID point out that they still had their Christmas/New Years office hours message on the machine, lol. That was probably pretty snipey.

Geopathic stress came up in my ART session so she suggested I move my bed to a different wall.

That's interesting...yeah, what is geopathic stress. Whatever it is, it sounds like I probably MUST have it. I think I need new makeup...oh wait, wrong thread.

Do you think avacados can be highly toxic?

Does anyone react to sea salt?I eat it but it makes my teeth crack and pop. I wonder if it's some kind of chemicals or mineral reaction.

I've come to realize that ANYTHING can be toxic to ANYBODY who is susceptible to it, lol.

Re the sea salt. I don't react, but if I get the course kind, the granules of salt hurt my teeth...not the pressure, but it's like the reaction of the salt with my teeth make them hurt.

Finally talked to someone in Dr H's office. I have an appt on March 4th at 1:45.

Yay!!!

Now that I've made the appt, I'm having all kinds of doubts about lyme and stuff. Guess I'm so used to negative results and drs just looking at me funny, I expect it, even from good docs. Does help that I just read Dr J's essay on interpreting WBs and, according to him, my results aren't even in the ballpark for lyme. *sigh*

Lyme is a weird disease...I think MOST of us had those doubts, even after it was made pretty clear to us that we had it. I know I did, and I remember a couple of others mentioning it too.

Colors of the day:

Foundation: Tried a completely new color family today--beige. I'm wearing "Fairly Light" in matte. I like this one too, lol. So that's three color families that look good on me, lol. I have one more family to try after this.

Blush: New Car Smell (the free sample). I like this too, but Pink Ribbon is holding as my favorite, lol. I think this may be slightly to the orange side for some of you, but it looks pretty natural on me.

Eye color: Exhale, a very nice medium brown. It looks very smokey, and is dark enough that I think it could be used as a light eyeliner. I ended up wiping most of it off though since I'm not wearing other eye makeup, lol. I also reached for Good China, which seems to be the one I reach for the most, so this one may end up being one of my favorites, lol.

a perfectly overdone and overly dramatic face for a casual friday at work LOL. I like it though

I've decided to do "no makeup fridays". I'll try to do my face so subtly that it looks like I'm naturally gorgeous without makeup

Yeah, that's it, that's what I'm trying to do to.

Grrrrr!! I'm kind of upset! I just got a bill from my dentist for $854 from the work he did last year! There's a big ole stamp on there that says pay immediately or they'll send me to a collectiion agency. I haven't received ANY bills from them on this at all!!!! This is the first one!!! OMGosh! I even asked when I went in for a cleaning in October (or whenever it was) if I owed anything, and she said not to worry about it.

I should have waited to call when I wasn't so upset...I think the message I left was probably a little "not-so-happy" in tone. Wish I hadn't left it, but can't take it back now.

Grrr!

Again, excellent cult like behavior

Cool, not in danger of getting kicked out just yet, lol.

I looked like I was posessed and my eyes were going to fly off of my head. I won't be doing that again.

!!!! Just what I needed to shake off a few hours of stupid busy legal work.

Do any of you have a Facebook? It's my new favorite vortex LOL. They have an Everyday Minerals group, so of course I just joined it

Hum, nope not Facebook. Maybe I should check that out...although I've been led to believe I might be too old.

Ya know that problem you're having with eye shadow? I'm having that same problem with blush. The perfect shade has not yet manifested itself...good thing I have six more colors at home to try before I give up

Never give up!

What happens when you need to get a new cult leader? Do you have elections?

The monster make-up cult thread elections!

Yay! Thank you for the good wishes, I got mine about an hour ago. I won't be able to try them for a little while because I'm way behind schedule today and need to exercise first.

...

Well ladies, I have some playing to do, ta ta for now! (we need a smiley with makeup on!)

No, no, no, you're supposed to put the makeup on TO exercise. :lol:

Does dhl deliver on saturday cause if they do i have a chance of maybe getting it then, if noti have to wait til tuesday since monday is an holiday, ughhhhhh

I don't know...I didn't think they delivered on Saturday, but I could be wrong. Hope I'm wrong. Actually, I hope you get yours tomorrow and then it won't matter.

And the doc I went to see recently has a UV machine. Its a machine that takes blood out, runs it through a uv light to kill bugs, then puts it back in you. I don't know if I am up for that! Sounds invasive to me! Anyone else heard of that kind of machine?

Sounds VERY invasive!! Kind of scarey actually, lol.

Daughter tells me that the chlorella they buy in shops that sell supplies for fish (aquarioums) is much cheaper. It should be safe, or the fish would get poisoned......

I'd be careful of that kind. You want to make sure it's pure chlorella that doesn't contain any mercury.

Congratulations! That is fantastic for both you and your daughter!

Seriously????

...

How do you resist? The first thing I do when I get my stuff is peel all the tape off each container and test all the colors on some part of my skin...hand..face..whatever Is that not a normal thing to do??? LOL

Yeah, I've already received somewhere around 23 colors, lol.

I have to admit that it never occurred to me that I should test them on my arm or hand, lol. Since I don't wear full eye makeup a lot, it might take me years to work through all the colors I have if I wait for my eyes, lol.

Just confirming that Enterolab can NOT tell you if you are celiac...only gluten sensitivity. I did use them, and they did seem to be accurate in which foods I am intolerant to, but you should know that they only test for a few of the major known problem foods. They were also able to tell me that I carry a Celiac gene...that still doesn't tell me whether I actually HAVE Celiac, but it helps me to know that I should stay away from gluten because the possibility is there.

Momma is correct in that if you need a firm diagnosis you would need a blood test and possibly an endoscopy...or if a firm diagnosis isn't important, you can try a strict gluten free diet to see if your symptoms improve. A response to the diet is diagnostic of a problem with gluten. I had a positive response to the diet, so along with the info from Enterolab and the improvements I saw on the diet, that was enough for me.
