Thanx mate...

Much appreciated...

And as far as the drinking until sh*t-faced - If that's what it takes then I guess it's a sacrifice I'll have to make...

Lucky it's the weekend!!!!

Firstly, apologies for the profile stalking...

I clicked on your name rather than the 'mention'...

Anyway...

Yeah, I don't do the selfie thing...

It's kinda funny..

As a fat dude, I was never worried about how I looked...

But now that I'm 'less fat', I'm starting to get a little vain...

I mean, I know I'm no oil painting, but I still find myself stretching my neck forward or turning myself upside down if I've gotta take/send a pic...

I'm really not a fan...

But sometimes you've just gotta do stuff...

Hopefully it works and a few of us can take advantage of it...

I like my men upside down. It's all good.

Lol no worries about the stalking!

I'm usually not one for selfies but find seeing pics of myself makes it more concrete mentally. The shift from an obese person to one that's almost "normal" is hard for me still.

I don't mind the selfies thing really...

As you say, it's not a bad way to track your progress...

Or your journey to hotness...

I don't think the cream even works for what is meant for.

My friend keeps telling me to use retin a on my neck but I keep telling him that it won't work. There are neck exercises you can try but honestly, once you stretch skin out the only way to fix it is through plastic surgery.

@@KindaFamiliar First off, your threads are hilarious. There is almost nothing you type that I don't enjoy reading.

However, if you'll forgive my hyper-analytical brain possibly raining on your parade, I'm not sure this would be an effective long term treatment. I believe that the effects of a hemorrhoid cream are only temporary. It may tighten as long as you apply it regularly, but you're not likely to reach the point of it "working" and no longer needing it. I could be wrong of course. I often am. I'm certainly no doctor!

That said, I think I might try it on the little bat wings I'm forming when I go sleeveless as we head into warmer weather. Can't hurt anyway.

Chances are you're right...

But this will entertain a few of us on and off over the next few weeks...

And who knows - we may even learn something...

Possibly...I just need to get in better with the Queens...they know how to tape and make you look like you have had an instant facelift!

I have always said that if I want makeup and beauty tips forget the makeup counter at Barneys...go to the Queens !

Anyone seen preview commercial for My big fat Greek wedding 2 ?

"Wait! Hold my neck back for the picture!"

that's going to be me ! Making my partner hold my neck for every pic! She will think I'm a nut! Lol

This is fantastic!!!

I've never heard of roid cream being used for skin forming. Hahaha. Do let us knowing it works.

So, here's the plan:

Spread some of the "roid" cream onto a kotex pad, then secure the pad to your ears.

I guarantee you NO ONE will notice the "roid" cream.

(selfies of "the plan" are a requirement of the experiment)

Are you following me around?

You seem to be everywhere I go...

Wait...

Am I stalking you?

Oh sh*t!!

Maybe I am!!!

Oh...

And thanx for making me Google 'kotex pad'...

That was a wonderful visual for my Saturday morning...
