I've used vitamin E tablets to fade scars. My son had a good one on his cheek that is almost invisible now. You just cut one end and squeeze out the gel and rub it into the skin.

Thank you!

Daughter has always been very modest. I'm having to talk her into a dress that doesn't cover her shoes. I didn't get enough green for that and I just can't afford another yard of $18 fabric.

Yeah, I wore army green Chucks for about 15 years, until I decided my feet deserved better soles. She's had Converse, but she doesn't like them that much. I think she was just annoying my mom.

Wow, I wouldn't stay friends with someone like that. You don't need people who think so little of your feelings.

My daughter wasn't going to go to her 8th grade prom next month, but then I started talking about how we could make her a dress in whatever color she wanted and I could applique whatever shapes she wanted for decoration. So she got excited and we went and picked out a Simplicity pattern (because I'm not that great at…

I am jealous of girls who have cute afros. I have pale red head cousins that have the Irish-afro going and I always felt left out as a kid. My Granny was from Japan, so I have straight hair that is a much darker red than my ginger cousins. As adults I discovered they all wanted my hair. I guess we always want what…

Tried to do my regular shopping today and found that Costco and Target were closed. I was unprepared for that. Half Priced Books and Sprouts were open though. At least I'm not the only heathen out there.

We went through AAA. We got it after we had their car insurance for several years. They've been great when we had a car accident. We haven't had to use the renters insurance.

If it's online, I doubt anyone looks at the application at all is there are too many "wrong" answers.

Me too. I bought a pretty vase this morning from a deal-a-day site this morning because I couldn't stop imagining it on a better table in a better house in the future.

The newest musical obsession is Moon Hooch. I saw them open for They Might Be Giants a few weeks ago. Apparently they are banned from a subway platform in Brooklyn for causing dance parties.

I like mixing in pesto sauce.

My daughter decided she would love to go to the 8th grade dance, if we made her a really unique, crazy neon dress, with, possibly, applique bunnies on it. We went to Joanne's tonight and found a simple pattern she liked and found the most obnoxious pink and green knit material. I didn't check the price because we…

My favorite summertime album: Telephone Free Landslide Victory by Camper van Beethoven. Some of it is probably an acquired taste, but nothing beats cruising in warm weather with the windows down with the laid back, ska-ish instrumentals.

My dad was in the military 35 years and he teaches concealed carry classes here in Texas. If we used the wrong terminology, we were corrected. I couldn't tell you the difference, but our guns have magazines.

I was really stringent for about 6 months. I was so desperate and in constant pain when I started it. It is a very strict diet to keep up permanently. You have to be on it long enough to kill off most of the yeast and repopulate your gut with better stuff. I'm still careful about how much sugary food I eat and, if…

I have hurt so badly that I did the olive oil/lemon juice thing for an evening to flush it out. Desperate times and all. Eating an occasional, avocado is way gentler.
