Damn...that Veet dipilatory cream is great stuff on the legs, but for gosh sakes dont' use it on your underarms. I think I've learned that "Veet" is sweedish for "chemical burn". I put aloe on it and that just made it worse. Baby powder is working okay though...
Speaking of girly products, I'm having good luck with Olay Quench lotion. Despite its' slight priceyness, it is good stuff. And it really does last all day and into the next day. I'm a bit concerned though that it is making my skin sparkly. It's pretty, but I don't know if it's good to leave sparklies on my skin all the time. Aren't they mettalic or something?
Anyone remember THIS report from 2002?? The CDC claimed that Obesity was the #2 cause of death in the US and would soon overtake smoking as the "number one cause of preventable death".
But guess what?
It was a huge lie.
Conspiracy theorist that I am, I do not think it was a computer error at all. If it was, that would indicate an obscene level of incompetance in an organization important enough to really need to have it's shit together. I think it has much more to do with diet products being big business, and that many people simply have a bias toward fat. I now refer to that as the "Disney" outlook because when you watch Disney films everybody looks like what they are.
I'm especially sensitive to this issue because someone on my friends list is having bariatric surgery, and another person was thinking about it. I am afraid for my friend, and angry that she thinks she needs to surgically alter herself to find happiness.
Speaking of which, Can you even beleive silicone breast implants are coming back? I must confess, I feel bad for those women too. They put so much emphasis on physical beauty, and end up scarred and in pain instead of just looking like themselves.
In Wednes news, I think I've finished my synopsis. I've sent it out to a few people and am waiting to hear what they think so I can do some tweaking and then send it out.
