    Vaniqa

    They sell packages of 5 treatments. I think for upper lip, chin, and neck it's not too bad. I'm not sure on the price, maybe around $500-600 and they have those free credit specials all the time too. I think they will tell you that stuff over the phone, and the consultation is free as well. Good luck!

    Go for it! Don't wait till you're in your 40's like I did. My mom just got her first treatment and she's 80! I never had to have stubble either. If it's not shaved completely off it will burn so if there is stubble the nurse typically shaves it right before the treatment.

    I started going to one of these Sona places when I lived in the Boston area. Sona Med Spa Brentwood: Home Then I moved to Philly and the one here decided to leave the franchise so my treatments were finished at the same place but with a different name.

    That's not exactly true. You can't wax because the laser follows the hair to the root, but you can shave the hair. In fact you have to before treatment. I had my legs and armpits done and it's among the best money that I ever spent. The place that I went to had an interest free 18 month credit deal with care credit too which was great.

    Halloween candy EVERYWHERE!

    For the past few years I have given out bottles of water. The first time it was because I didn't expect kids at my apt bldg. All I had was a case of half pint bottles of water so I gave them each a bottle. They loved it. (times sure have changed since I was a kid). Now I go to Costco and get several cases to give out. This year they were a big hit again with the kids and their parents. I don't have left over candy around and I feel good about what I gave out.

    Fred Phelps and Westboro Church

    I totally agree. He's such a moron. I hope the recent judgment makes them so strapped for cash that they all just go away and shut the hell up.

    I hate it when people post just to post.....

    I think I'm almost up to 17 cups a day. Nah, that's not too much. And I have a one eyed cat named Cedric that someone left stuck in the door of one of the vet clinics that I worked at when he was just a tiny baby. Now he thinks he's a Sheltie....
  8. Wonder if that same logic would make them decided to just limp around as opposed to getting a knee replacement.
  9. I only have one time. I was at work eating too fast after someone just pissed me off. A bad combination.
  10. I agree with Jessie A. I think the term PB is stupid. If it was in your stomach (no matter what portion) and it comes up out of your stomach you have vomited.
  11. He answers posts here too. I think he reads the "lap band complications" thread on a regular basis.
  12. I think spinach was involved as well. :phanvan

    I don't think so, he is a bit of a nut and these people just hate him. I was actually hoping the Lions would beat the Eagles because I'm from Detroit, but it was not to be. Guess I'll just have to stick with Michigan State and of course my Pistons as far as sports go. It sure was nice to live in Boston when the Red Soxs won the world series and of course the Patriots.

    I am pretty sure he will get more press than McNabb. These folks just won't let the T.O. thing go.

    I think Chelles cowboys pic is a personal attack on me because she knows how much we can't stand that asshole T.O. up here in Philly.... :heh:

    LaraNicole, thank you so much for being so open and honest and posting this. I wish you all the best with your baby and your health.

    No body wants you to leave, and I am sure you are a nice person. We are not trying to push. I think that what some of us want here, that we most likely will never get, is for just one person who promoted Sandy, posted a link to her web page, did a shout out to her, gave her kudos for all of her advice, etc. for just one of the many people who did one of those things to have the balls to stand up now and say that she was wrong on that same forum. Geeze the woman spent half of a thread telling me that I chose the wrong doc. She does not know me or my doc (who is absolutely wonderful by the way) but several folks through their support of her dogma gave her some sort of authority to do stuff like that. There are people she sent PM's to telling them they were mentally ill (not the obvious one) and all kinds of inappropriate crap like that. It would be so refreshingly nice for just one of the people who never stood up while we had that crap thrown at us to stand up now. Just one...

    So you just decided to come to LBT cuz it's a fun place and serendipitously there was a post about imposters on R&R followed by Laurens other thread? Wow what are the odds of that? I think it's been made pretty clear that this thread is R&R and debate happens here. There is tons of support and great info on LBT but a thread called Rants and Raves is probably not the first place to look for it. I think you, Nancy and LaraNicole came to this forum and R&R looking for exactly what you found. I invited Work because I like her and I wanted her to know the truth about Sandy.

    I believe we touched on the infamous “email list” in the other thread. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f80/why-do-i-do-myself-42361/index2.html

    I wonder how many people had access to my email via that email list? From what LN told Vicki it sure sounds like a lot.

    I just think you guys go a little overboard at times with blaming him for the ill's of the OH board. Sandy has posted on that board that she does not believe I am a cancer researcher. Do I care? Hell no. I have publications and she does not. I have a job doing what I say I do (that I really need to be posting data for now instead of writing this) and she does not. There is nothing that Sandy can say to me that will affect the way I feel about myself. I am responsible for me. There comes a time when you just have to quit blaming your problems on others.

    Darn that Wendell!!! I bet he’s responsible for us never finding those weapons of mass destruction and global warming as well..... And maybe even that hanging chad thing in Florida.....:angry

    Dee once told Vicki that Amy offered her a position as a moderator on OH but she turned it down. Can you imagine Dee as a moderator.......
