Hello Everybody, My name is Sarah Lindquist and I am so grateful I found forums like this. I've been seaching for and trying anti aging products for many years, and I was getting VERY Dissapointed, to say the least. I have tried, retin-A, retinol, revitol, principal secret (OUCH), murade, pure emu oil, Jevené, StriVectin-SD, Athena, 7 minuet lift....you name it, and I can honestly say olive oil did a better job, but yet not good enough. "I have not used hydroderm, scam forums and a friend relieved me of that". I kept on seaching and studying, and WALLA, I found it, and it is sooooo affordable I wanted to sell it myself so I could share it with the world. This IS NOT a sales pitch. I have my own business, but I know the frustrations of throwing money away again and again, without results, and to spend $40 - $50 dollars a month on nothing more than mere moisurizing creams is absolutely ridiculous. That's the biggest scam of all. A Good Quality moisturizer is essential, but moisturizers are not powerful enough to get the job done by themselves. There are too many women out there looking for something to regain their youthful look and to smooth out their wrinkles with out painful injections or surgury. Too, too many women are spending thousands of dollars a year seeking softer, firmer, more supple skin, to no avail. The cosmetic industry is getting richer and women are getting poorer. You don't need to waste your hard earned money anymore because I have found the solution, and I want to share it with you. THIS STUFF IS AMAZING, Guaranteed. You can feel and see the difference after just 1 application, and it keeps getting better. This is not a short term fix - it is a long-term skin firming serum and conditioner. This product has been recommended by plastic surgeons before resorting to plastic surgery. Its a celebrity favorite and has been featured in Allure, Vogue, NBC & more for its unique ability to add collagen II to skin. It is guaranteed for 45 days, but I cannot image anyone after one application, who will not be absolutely AMAZED, and you will too. This is an ALL Natural product, with the VERY BEST ingredients on the market today. It doesn't get any better than this. If you're looking for something that REALLY WORKS and is dirt cheap, go to my website and check it out. I know you will be sooooo glad you did. http://antiwrinkle55.christianfunfair.org/ Oh by the way, when you arrive, please leave me a message so I know you made it there. Enjoy!

So many of our cities are busting at the seams - population density growing and land fills long gone in and around urban areas. Lets make more garbage - lets buy it at the box and we can change it in two years when we are making more money. Why do we live this way? Why are we all so concerned for our planet and so many people just do nothing? I am a father of 3 beautiful girls. My eldest is 8 and in grade 3. In grade one they teach you about power smart - eco options and what to do if there is an earthquake or fire. When your 6 year old (now 8) starts on you for not powering down the Mac Book you know the schooling is working. Then you think??? How can I make this little girl so proud of her Daddy? Daddy changes. Daddy is a builder. Daddy starts learning how to be a better builder and to build more green. Now this same little one is 7 and we are renovating our home. What can I do to be greener? How much of my home can I save? Answer: A-lot. A year goes by your middle one is 6 your house isn't finished because you won't settle - you had to keep everything and build it right. More talk about the Hydro and more talk about our fish, our recycling and starving kids in Africa. Their is terrible loss in Haiti - this saddens my eldest to a level I was unaware she could feel. My heart breaks - what can I do. Do more. Do it today. Make a difference. I ramped up my recycling, saved everything I could and those scraps - that garbage. Why throw it out? I can take 10 minutes; I have the skill and the tools - why not chop up these bits and bites and given them to my 4 year olds preschool. This is a Montessori program and the teacher is passionate about crafts, visual learning. Crafts are expensive. What does it cost me? An hour (there is always chit chat at drop off) nothing. Easy. Now there is a new University program in need of garbage for an arts course. New art. Green art. I build luxury bathrooms and work with beautiful tile and product. I always have waste. Why dump. The kids can glue it. I have spoken with my suppliers and they are going to save for me - crap, junk, and garbage. Maybe a can or two a month - not much. But one more step forward. How can I do more? Think. Think. Why not help online. Save people from making mistakes and then save a little more garbage in 3-7 years time. This has been my last year. Helping, Building, Recycling, Saving. Now today Im a better man, I do more - but I push myself. What else? It pains me to overhear bad advice in our "Box" stores. They give it out every day. Many unskilled kids and weekend warriors working part time. I went under cover and disguised myself as overweight, father of 3 and hit the "Box Stores" for some advice. I visited them all in Vancouver, North Vancouver and West Vancouver - many of these stores more than once. This took me three days to complete over our Canadian long weekend. I visited 2 of my tile suppliers and also 2 building yards more geared to contractor business than every day retail. The results where mind blowing. The advice so bad it enraged me. I ask you this. "How can these stores endorsed by our celebrity builders dispense advice that can make a home sick - make a home unsafe. A home that leaks. A home that is unsafe because of unapproved non-fire rated wire. Why can I go into a store and buy flashing for a window in a city infested with leaky condos and the flashing does not meet current code??? Is it right that these same stores then profit from the looming rebuild. And a round and around you go. In the end more waste and this waste is the bad kind, old insulation, drywall, concrete board etc." We have codes here in our town and you have yours. Should it not be some sort of company policy that an employee actually reads the instructions on a product label before dispensing advice as an "expert" or "flooring associate"? Can an employee who helps sell products to build my bathroom at my box store tell me that it is OK to use drywall and mastic for my tub shower? This is one of the most known no no's - yet this advice was given to me by 3 of 10 "Experts". So when your busy trying to clean up the dishes, answer your emails and you let your kids play in the bath for an extra half hour (it's great to hear them laugh at bath time) - think about who built this shower, how it was built and it if the backside of those shower walls are covered in mold? Why are our kids so sick all the time? These new products are incredible. There is no reason for kids to get sick, homes to rot or a house to burn to the ground. Stores should point out product, stock shelves - but if they want to tell you how to do something they better dam well know what they are talking about. Another question for you to ponder; "Why is it that when I go into my plumbing and electrical wholesalers the staff are not allowed to tell you what to buy. You have to ask for it by name? Think about it???" But at the Box they can advertise that they can help but in fact send you out the door with a weekend project that no pro could do in 4 days. I'm going to change this - myself. Right now. I started on Friday and hope to have solid progress to report by weeks end. I'll be contacting Rona tomorrow and will share my insight in their staffs training. Look Girls! Look at what we did as a family and for whom we did it for. Our friends. Their friends. The planet. Because it's the right thing to do and to not turn a blind eye. Look how one little bathroom contractor can change a multi million-dollar company(s). Makes me proud to see my daughter well up when I shared the good news today that Home Depot is going to change. And not just in my town. But Canada wide! I was contacted by Tiziana Baccega Manager, Public Relations & External Affairs The Home Depot Tel:416-412-6570 Fax: 416-412-6792 and she thanked me for my insight and made me fill quite confident that this retraining will happen and will happen soon. I will keep you posted. It is wrong that the retailers profit and while they wait for the rebuild we get sick - breathe mold and we send our kids to this very spot every day to breathe more. No No No. It is not right - and I am going to stop it. "Waterproofing a shower is not something you can almost do perfect. When it's perfect. It's good enough." - John Whipple __________________ .

Javachik--thanks for posting! This gave me a much needed kick in the pants. And your daughter is beautiful! This thread totally captures my m.o. I considered starting a similar thread a couple weeks ago, but I got distracted.. ;-) Lately, my MBR is the unending 'work in progress.' I spent several months shopping for a new duvet cover, then finally gave up (couldn't find the colors I wanted) and purchased a regular comforter. It took me two months to put the new comforter on the bed & store my old duvet covers. For about a year, I've intended to buy new chairs to replace the wicker chairs at the foot of the bed. I finally ordered some a couple weeks ago, and DH assembled them last weekend. Now I need to work on replacing art in that room. I framed & hung prints over the bed yesterday, but I still need something to put over DH's nightstand. I promised myself that I wouldn't post to this thread until I'd made progress on at least one more task! So that motivated me to do a 'test run' of various framed prints that I have in other rooms to see if anything works in the MBR, and confirmed what I suspected (none of them quite suit the space over DH's nightstand). So I will probably order something tonight. This thread also motivated me to frame one of my uncle's drawings (I bought the frame in September(!) but just ordered a custom mat last weekend). I ordered custom wood blinds for the MBR in November(!), and they're still in the boxes in the sunroom. My goal for today is to decide whether we can hang the blinds ourselves, or whether we will hire a handyman. I couldn't hang them when they first arrived because I had major neck pain in Nov-December, but that subsided in early January, so it's no longer an excuse.

Good morning, Yes, the Donnatella link was supposed to be funny. I do have some tips for over 50 makeup of my own. The number one ager is too thin eyebrows, you know the ones that are all pencil. Another is either too dark or too bleached hair. If you have thin lips, wear a shade that is the closest to the skin inside your mouth. A soft pink but not too bright. Wearing dark lipstick and lining lips makes you look older. Unless of course if you still have full lips. Lastly, go easy on eyeshadow. Too much just draws people to the ageing eyelid. Is everyone over 50 adequately depressed now? Donna
