Yes, she always frustrated me a *great deal*.

Don’t you hate it when someone like Thatcher has useful or relatable experiences? At least in this example, it’s beneficial, which is always pretty great!

Same thing within my family only we ended up renting because her mother wasn’t a good enough co-signer as her father had died. Economic inequity goes far and deep.

I’m so grateful that this was posted here because when I see Trump and the more traditional republicans I see men and women who want to control women and it has not been long that women could vote, let alone apply for a loan without a husband or father as a cosigner (1970s). It’s abhorrent that those in power have…

I had meant to say too that thyroid imbalances affect our skin’s usual exfoliation process which is partly what can cause acne (that “clogged pores” thing), and over the years I’ve learned to be super nice to my skin and the most I do is experiment with changing from a less creamy cleanser in the summer when my skin…

I’m not sure whether this helps you, but I use the CeraVe cleanser and CeraVe’s lotion morning and night and have been using that strength of retin- a for just a few months but I’ve liked the effect which has been smoother and almost no break outs, or like an eruption once a month, but not like what I was experiencing…

It’s a labyrinth when dealing with rx coverage! I used to work for an insurer and it was astonishing how particular medications, especially topical, might get covered or not: even a difference in dosage and, of course, the difference between generic and name brand. Practically like playing darts! But I was just…

There’s a lot — A LOT — to be said for keeping it simple! I had forgotten just how many different and often unnecessary products were thrown at us until I subscribed to what I thought was a make-up subscription service and more than half of the items I received was “skincare” and as someone with sensitive skin, I read…

I’m so glad to see this. I got her book maybe 15-12 years ago and have followed her since. I’ve just used CeraVe for years and years but as my skin gets needier (older?) I might start using her line, so I’m glad to see positive reviews. I follow reviews on MakeUpAlley but one never knows with reviews anywhere.

FWIW, it’s worth researching about insurance coverage: I’m 42 but my insurance covers it 😳.

Makes sense: the days leading up to my period my sense of smell is super sensitive. Sometimes, just staying away for a while helps a lot and is the best solution.

Black Hole Sun is PERFECT for piano, too!

I’m new to SNS threads so if you’ve posted about your sensitivities and I’m behind or mentioning something you already know, I’m sorry, and I know that’s annoying. I have had great luck with Mineral Fusion nail polish while even when my sensitivities calmed down, Butter polish practically set my sinuses on FIRE! Plus,…

Re cleanser: I might. CeraVe has an SA cleanser now. I’m in my early 40s and have sensitive skin that is acne prone. It was great in my 30s, but has been awful these past few years partly due to thyroid hormone issues. I’ve liked the CeraVe cleanser. I’ve found that I need exfoliant, but can’t tolerate any granular…

It’s this extreme climate that allowed someone like Trump to manage getting the GOP nomination. It would have been unthinkable even recently but now that it’s apparently just full of extremists who are also spineless, he could walk right in practically take it.

New ways to try to write through the rage!

Yeah, i think I’m right there with you. I have no patience any longer with anyone who can’t “be serious” about this election and I only put that in quotes because a part of me feels sheepish for having an attitude about other people’s ideas, because when I was young I was part of a radical, lefty, group of smelly…

Or for whom Lincoln was a selling point!

Yes, I immediately thought the same because her usual style isn’t like that. Not at all.

For me, an additional issue is that he now has so many female surrogates defending him in the media right now, too. They’re like Stepford Pundits or something, very creepy and ridiculously, insultingly “calculated”. Like, “Ohhh, there’s a woman defending Trumps points, oh, well, maybe I will vote for him after all. My…
