The Bay Is Blue

The more things change, the more they stay the same? Why didn’t that ever make sense before? With my unusually low threshold for tedium, I’ve found myself stifling screams more and more lately. When I see them though, for instance on the telly, (screaming that is…), I can’t help but laugh, LOL!! Then I remind myself, I used to hate that stuff…

Okay, Love…or Money? Which one would you choose?

And be honest…. A little imagination wouldn’t kill you either. How much money, you ask? Okay, more than you could ever spend or give away in your lifetime…. What sort of love? The kind that won’t pale even if you never have a pence to your name… Got it?

You think maybe you’ve been caught in a lie, not a little one like “no your butt doesn’t look big in those jeans”, a BIG one, like “are you interested in someone else??”…. And okay, yes your butt looks big, but that’s because it IS big… And then it’s like “Why on Earth would you ask me if I like them??”, with as innocent a face as you can muster… All the while thinking “They’re on to me, oh Gawd!! How?? Did someone tell?? Do I talk in my sleep?? Is it that obvious? Are they just suspicious, or do they KNOW??”. So how do you answer, if you don’t want to lie, yet you can’t tell the truth either? Know what I mean, Jelly Beans?

Sometimes less is more, more or less LOL? I realise this is a place for “pondering”, and Lord knows I’ve been doing my share. With that said, maybe I’ll just listen in on this Posting, this can be a Free-For-All Day…. If I try to pick just one or two topics, I’ll end up flipping a coin anyway, they seem to be backing up on me of late. Oh, and did I dream that Barbie and Ken have split up, after 43 years together LOL? Doing a little math here, but if they were say, twenty when they got together, that makes them 63 now?? Have we upped the bar on the MidLife Crisis Phenom LOL? Ken never did make an Honest Woman of Barbie, no ring and like 100 wedding dresses? Not one single kid either, hmmm… Geeze though, their kids would be my age right now LOL! There always have been little rumors about poor Ken though, which might explain alot… Now I hear Barbie’s getting a new Boy Toy this Fall, by the gentle name of “Blaine”…. (Or was that Ken getting the new boyfriend??). Does anyone remember Barbie’s best friend “Midge”, the slightly tom-boyish third-wheel, she certainly just vanished from the face of Mattel Land one day huh? If Blaine shows up with his sweater sleeves tied around his neck, (never a complimentary fashion-statement for a heterosexual male), I’m locking my Barbie in the Barbie Mansion with GI Joe for one full month! Wait, how old is GI Joe by now anyway?? Maybe they could adopt some Beanie Babies.

Last week, a pewter nail/spike on a leather rope is being sold as a necklace. Not to quote but I heard it will sell for $16.99 US dollars, and they just started selling them, but have already run out… Not surprisingly, this has sparked yet another debate. Some are claiming this is sacriligious to Christ, or just another way to cash in on controversy. Either point may be true, but…. I even heard the remark “When Christ comes back, the last thing he’s going to want to see is a nail hanging from your neck…”. Okay, in that logic, will he be any happier to see a Cross there? No, I won’t be sporting any “hardware” from my own neck any time soon. I think it’s common knowledge I do wear a Cross sometimes, which I suppose some might find offensive, but it’s my neck, and my Cross, so…. If someone wants to wear a nail around theirs, I think my only hope would be they’ve fashioned it themselves, and not paid $17 for something they can make for what, a dime at home? Somehow too, I doubt the “target market” for this item even resembles someone like me. I think more likely they’ll show up on much “younger, hipper, (dare I say Club Kids)” necks. However, they have that right, just as I do. The only REAL problem I can see with wearing a nail around your neck is, leave it at home before tryng to board an airplane, you’ll never get it through Security…

I was seriously considering taking today off from Posting, but I’m bursting at the seams with this one, and can’t contain myself, LOL! We were having a rather casual Dinner (okay, we were slouched all over the furniture in front of the telly), trying to out-do one another with the most improper Dinner conversation we could come up with. There are two among us that taught us long ago, they’re always going to win at this! They ask us if we’ve ever heard of the Celebrity Death Pool, and we all stop chewing. I’m picturing some Hollywood mansion with a Killer diving board or something, where lots of 1940′s stars and starlets bonked their heads and drowned? It’s never quite that simple with these two though, LOL! They go on to explain that it’s a “lottery” of sorts, a game you enter, and it’s hardly new, it’s been around for some time now, and got its’ start among secretaries, of all people? You choose say maybe ten famous people, but they have to be ones that for whatever your logic, won’t live out the year… The only way you win is if most of yours lose, in other words. By this time we’re all perfectly horrified, and saying how sick is THAT?? They fire up the lappie, type in www.stiffs.com and there we see it all, and get even MORE mortified! As we read on though, I start to notice a few giggles, and not all of them are coming from me, LOL! I actually laugh out loud at a few of the names on this insanely long list, mostly because I thought they were already dead. But the icing on the cake was “The Whatificator”, there’s even a picture of it LOL!! It’ll hook together celebs of your choice in untimely demise in little scenarios, (what if Eminem were crushed in a trash compactor, and Martha Stewart was electrocuted while trying to pull him out? Extra points for this!!). A Clergyman was asked what he thought of this, and his reply was “These people are going to die sometime, the wagerers aren’t killing them, so why not?”… Hmm…LOL! There are quite a few of these sites, too! I want to be horrified, but I’m also sort of amused at the same time… Chaff AND wheat!

Some of you really give me the willies, LOL! Did I get mail about setting up an Image Gallery for all of your pets? Nope, LOL! Your Children? Nope, nope.. Yourselves? Triple nopes. A contest to bet on who snuffs it first? Resounding glee, LOL! I’m still against the thought of having a Post Category for that, but… If you can think up some similar contest, (the reward will be the prestige of winning, so don’t start throwing around PalPay accounts!) post some fresh ideas here, and I’ll maybe consider them. Or maybe I won’t, it’s so hard to tell with me, you know?

Has anyone else been following this story of the woman that recognised her six-year old daughter after she was missing since she was ten days old? If it sounds too strange to be true, then maybe it isn’t. Seems now, the Mother first saw the girl and got the hair over a YEAR ago, but no one followed up until the Father saw her at a party a year later, and had the same idea? And apparently the Kidnapper is a cousin in some form of the Father’s?? Hmm…..

Meanwhile, back in Ireland…. Fireworks!!! I LOVE fireworks!! Get me some pictures of them please?? And don’t forget to hose down your roofs… Turns out I’ll be a while longer, I’ve been plied with green Guinness LOL!! Consider this your Postcard from the Edge…

Left on a Sunday to come home, but of course we didn’t arrive here until today, so I’m still not really “with it“? There are all sorts of neat topics to throw around, so why don’t you all toss some about, and we can see what sticks? Yep, that’s my way of saying I’m too tired to think right now, sorry. You type while I sleep….. ZZZZzzzzz…….

Acne is the most common skin complaint in the world. And it is not restricted to teenagers. Adult acne is a common complaint, but rarely discussed, which is thought to affect about 25% of adult men and 50% of adult women at some point in their adult lives. And adult acne treatment is often sought although the cause, ie, the existence of the acne, is rarely spoken. Treating adult acne is very common.

As with other types of acne including teenage acne, the exact causes of adult acne remain unknown but are thought to relate to changes or imbalances in hormones in our body. It is suspected that these hormonal changes at various times in our lives lead to increases in the amount of oil in our skin which in turn leads to clogged pores or hair follicles in the skin. This results in the field of luminaze waste, under the surface of the skin which becomes infected by bacteria and produced the well-known spots suffered by adult acne sufferers or acne sufferers in general causing the need to search for an effective adult acne treatment .

There are a number of times in our lives when our hormones are more likely to be out of balance and these correspond with times of increased likelihood of experiencing acne. The most obvious and best known is in our teenage years. However, it is perfectly possible to suffer adult acne well into the later half years old and even requiring treatment of adult acne.

It is thought that adult acne is more common in women because of the reproduction cycles a woman goes through such as menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth and menopause. And in some cases hormonal products such as the pill can be used by doctors as a very effective treatment for adult acne produce some hormonal changes that can have positive results on the woman’s adult acne. In fact, this may be the best treatment for adult acne of this nature.

Usually, though, adult acne does not result in a total face trail as teenage acne can do, so can be more easily controlled by some form of masking such as makeup which negates the need for adult acne treatments. There may be spots, but not as likely to be thousands of them. The only real reason for an adult acne treatment, acne treatment or at any age, is cosmetic. And so where a cosmetic effect can be achieved by other means the need for a treatment is removed. There are thought to be external factors that also contribute to adult acne, amongst them are stress, cosmetics and diet. Unfortunately none of these is sufficiently understood either so it’s hard to get some hard and fast rules about what and what not to do. One thing is known though, acne is not caused by eating too much chocolate as was sometimes said to be the case. Cheese is also discarded.
