Mismi might join you later for that drink!
Izzie lovely pictures, sounds and looks like you are really having fun, you enjoy send love to all and give S a hug. See you soon.
Feeling really tired today spent most of yesterday trying to get the garden straight it was like a jungle out there. Had to cut the grass in the rain - not the best way to do it. I also trimmed some hedge and then got a rash up both arms! Think I must be allergic to it! So might try to take it a little easier today! as if I feel I must just keep going on fast auto pilot and can not actually stop but will try. Made myself a coffee and turn on PC which made me sit down. Oh boy looks like more rain coming must get the washing in! Speak soon. X
Forgot to mention I bought 'The Worlds Fastest Indian' DVD the other day! Have watched it 3 times so far, I love it, what a fantastic film and it just reminds me of what life should be about! My husband would have loved the film too. So a few more tears shed but life continues. Ok I am Ok.
Yep it is raining yet again!
Lzzie asked, "BLUE - did ya wax?????????"
All hair removal methods have tricked me with their promises of easy, painless removal - The Epilady, scissors, razors, Nair and now...the wax.
Read on iffin' ya'll big and brave.........
My night began as any other normal weeknight. Came home, fixed dinner. I then had the thought that would ring painfully in my mind for the next few hours: "Maybe I should pull the waxing kit out of the medicine cabinet."
So I headed to the site of my demise: the bathroom. It was one of those "cold wax" kits. No melting a clump of hot wax, you just rub the strips together in your hand, they get warm and you peel them apart and press them to your leg (or wherever else) and you pull the hair right off. No muss, no fuss. How hard can it be? I mean, I'm not a genius, but I am mechanically inclined enough to figure this out. (YA THINK!?!)
So I pull one of the thin strips out. Its two strips facing each other stuck together. Instead of rubbing them together, my genius kicks in so I get out the hair dryer and heat it to 1000 degrees. ("Cold wax," yeah...right!) I lay the strip across my thigh. Hold the skin around it tight and pull. It works!
OK, so it wasn't the best feeling, but it wasn't too bad. I can do this!
Hair removal no longer eludes me! I am the man of all wayward body hair and maker of smooth skin extraordinaire.
With my next wax strip I move north. After checking on the goldfish, I sneak back into the bathroom, for the ultimate hair fighting championship. I drop my pants and place one foot on the toilet.
Using the same procedure, I apply the wax strip across the right side of my ?'Speedo' line, covering the right half of my hoo-ha and stretching down to the inside of my butt cheek (it was a long strip)!!!
I inhale deeply and brace myself....RRRRRRIIIIPPP!!!!
I'm blind!!! Blinded from pain!!!!...
OH MY GAWD!!!!!!!!!
Vision returning, heart beat starting
I notice that I've only managed to pull off half the strip. CRAP! Another deep breath and RIPP! Everything is spinning and spotted. I think I may pass out...must stay conscious...must stay conscious. Do I hear crashing drums??? Breathe, breathe.................. OK, back to normal.
I want to see my trophy - a wax covered strip, the one that has caused me so much pain, with my hairy pelt sticking to it. I want to revel in the glory that is my triumph over body hair.
I hold up the strip!
There's no hair on it.
Where is the hair???
WHERE IS THE WAX???
Slowly I ease my head down, foot still perched on the toilet. I see the hair. The hair that should be on the strip...it's not! I touch. I am touching wax.
I run my fingers over the most sensitive part of my body, which is now covered in cold wax and matted hair. Then I make the next BIG mistake...remember my foot is still propped upon the toilet? I know I need to do something. So I put my foot down.
Sealed shut! My butt is sealed shut!! Sealed shut!!!
I penguin walk around the bathroom trying to figure out what to do and think to myself "Please don't let me get the urge to poop. My head may pop off!" What can I do to melt the wax?
Hot water!! Hot water melts wax!! I'll run the hottest water I can stand into the bathtub, get in, immerse the wax-covered bits and the wax should melt and I can gently wipe it off, right???
WRONG!!!!!!!
I get in the tub - The water is slightly hotter than that used to torture prisoners of war or sterilize surgical equipment - I sit. Now, the only thing worse than having your nether regions glued together, is having them glued together and then glued to the bottom of the tub...in scalding hot water. Which, by the way, doesn't melt cold wax.
So, now I'm stuck to the bottom of the tub as though I had cemented myself to the porcelain!! God bless the salesman who had convinced me a few months ago to have a phone put in the bathroom!!!!! I call Dutchy, thinking surely he has waxed before and has some secret of how to get me undone. It's a very good conversation starter "So, my butt and hoo-ha are glued together to the bottom of the tub!"
There is a slight pause. He doesn't know any secret tricks for removal but he does try to hide his laughter from me. He wants to know exactly where the wax is located, "Are we talking cheeks or hole or hoo-ha?"
He's laughing out loud by now.... I give him the rundown and he suggests I call the number on the side of the box.
YEAH!!!!! Right!!
I should be the joke of someone else's night. While we go through various solutions I resort to trying to scrape the wax off with a razor . Nothing feels better than to have your goodies covered in hot wax, glued shut, stuck to the tub in super hot water and then dry-shaving the sticky wax off!!
By now the brain is not working, dignity has taken a major hike and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna need to call Dev for some Post-Traumatic Stress counseling for this event.
Dutchy is still talking with me when I finally see my saving grace....the lotion they give you to remove the excess wax.
What do I really have to lose at this point? I rub some on and
..OH MY GOD!!!!!!!
The scream probably woke the neighbors and scared the dickens out of the goldfish. Its sooo painful, but I really don't care.
"IT WORKS!!
It works !!" I get a hearty congratulation from Dutchy who seemed slightly disappointed it ended so well and he hangs up. I successfully remove the remainder of the wax and then notice to my grief and despair....
THE HAIR IS STILL THERE.......ALL OF IT!
So I recklessly shave it off. Heck, I'm numb by now. Nothing hurts. I could have amputated my own leg at this point with blunt chicken wire.
Next week I'm going to try hair color......
Nooo; not down there
Under arm!!!
Have a great trip Lzzie and keep safe.
That hurt me Try. I have the heeby- jeebies even now.
Izzie...I hope your trip is wonderful. I pray you and Little Fella have a wonderful time exporing together. Take care of your self sister.
Missing JPB.
Hey VBV - good to see you. Glad you are okay - how's the job search?
Tulip..big hugs to you hun. So glad you had a good time in Paris. Sorry it was so hot...vacations away from the beach in summer have always been rather sweaty for me. Now that the kids are in school any other time is impossible. Take care sweety.
DeeDee...hoping you are feeling better and better each day. So sorry you got the flu. That is miserable. Good to see you :wink:
Where is WhiteViolet? How are you doing sweety?
Dev you too...check in please.
Dutchy should be home soon and back here more often I hope.

Where is BigRed and dj? Brooke? Hope you all are well..you are in my thoughts today. Take care of yourselves and hugs and kisses to all...
I guess I will be off all day as well. I am taking some friends to the doctor this morning. May be an all day thing depending on the findings...send good vibes for them if you think about it. They are like my grandparents away from home. He has lung cancer and is getting pet scan results this morning. I will be sitting with them and getting their lunch and stuff and just helping where I can, at least until the kids get home.
see you all this evening I hope.
missy
Tulip - great to hear from you - keep taking those few minutes and sitting down hun. Hugs to you and the kids, STAR and Sollie. x

Try, I have been in fits of laughter just wish I could have seen it! actually maybe not! I have been there, well not actually where you have had it but it really hurt my underarms and I then found out I was allergic to it and had chemical burns! I had to ring the hospital for advice
Izzie, F and S wish to send their love to S and you, they were really excited to see the picturesX
Take Care X
Miz Iz is on the plane, and they are boarding the remainder of folks now.
She should be in the air in about 20 minutes...
(at the tone, the time will be...11:48 AM)
RH
Air travel update...
Miz Iz is taxiing to an arrival gate in Tulsa...
hoping for a phone call in a while.
(I'll keep ya posted)
RH
Thanks RH.
Took my friends to lunch. The cancer has grown and he will have to go on chemo again. But it will not be as harsh as the last round...it only grew a bit. They feel this round will reduce it even more. He seems to be okay with that and so does Connie. So I am okay with it. They are such a precious couple.
She was a newspaper woman long before it was normal to have newspaper women. And she is infinitely interesting. She never had children and is appalled that I have three.
Not really...but I asked her to watch them for a minute one time while I went to the bathroom...the look on her face would have made you think I asked her to kill somebody! So funny!
Well I will check back in a bit to make sure Miss Izzie made it to Tulsa okay...going to get some more stuff done...laundry, ironing...yuck, yuck.
Missy, sorry bout your friend.
No Iz news is technically good news at this point.
She was only gonna use her cell if she had problems, as it costs a bunch a numbers with a L in front...(did not compute)
I will pop in when I hear from her on the laptop, if not by cell...
Rock
Mis-, really sorry to hear about your friend.
Thanks for the Iz- watch, Rock.
Try-
Thank you - really they are okay...I wish we would have seen that there was no growth but that was unlikely anyway. I appreciate your thoughts though. Yes, No news is good news...sweet Izzie - hope you can rest a bit now...
Dev how are you?
Hey, mis-. I'm fair to partly cloudy, hangin' in there.
Good morning crew, the Eagle has landed back home again, safe and sound. Great to catch up with you again and hope you're all well. Looking forward hearing from the Captain. See you all later.
Dev - keep your chin up sweety. I know you must be struggling though..I am so proud of you for how hard you've worked. Thoughts are with you.
Hey there Dutchy! So good to see you home safe and sound. Hugs my friend! :wink:
