Thread: Hearburn
I have had a heart burn condition for about the last 7 years. No matter my diet, no matter what, I have tried everything, I suffer from painful heartburn everyday.
About 3 years ago I was scoped for what was going on in a day surgery. Two things they found. My stomach has about twice the amount of acid producing pumps. I swear this is how they explained it to me. They said these pumps, which produce acid to begin the digestive process from the food you eat. I have twice as many as most normal people. The second thing they said was that the valve between my esophogas and stomach, called the dual duct valve. (thats they way it sounded when they told me). That valve has lost it's elasticity, from so much acid coming up. The acid has chewed that valve up. That valve closes anytime food is not passing by. It's really nothing more than a ckeck valve.
So I have been using a very strong prescription, and it has improved my quality of life ten fold. They had to try everything under the sun as far as drugs go and different doses. I have been on this raperbazol for about 1 year now. I noticed a few weeks ago that, it seemed the presription would wear off before it was time for my next one. They are a 24 hour pill thing. When I say heartburn, many may not tottally appreciate my pain. It will knock me to my knees. There has been times I have to pull off a repair for about 20 minutes and just chill, it gets that bad.
Well so I went into the doc yesterday morning. BTW, this is the top guru for this at U of M. He says, the pills are losing their effectiveness, and the last resort is a complicated, risky and somehwat ballsy surgery. They want to cut out half my stomach, and then they want to unattach all organs from my stomach, turn my stomach 360 degrees, tightening the check valve, then reattach my organs that my stomach has tied to them. I could be looking at 6 months of recuperation out of surgery.
I am going to a specialist of the specialist which will be in town from the Mayo clinic next week. He is going to scope me and take another look.
What did I do to deserve this crap..

Wow, that is tough Dow. We all struggle along with our business problems and family frictions, thinking they are a big deal. Then we hear of someone like you with a major health problem, makes you stop and think.
I don't have any advice for you except to learn as much as you can so any decisions you make are well informed. That surgery sounds scary to say the least.
Godd luck to you my firend.
Get another opinion, maybe a change of lifestyle is in order.
Hey cockroach, don't bug me! ©
Bring Em Home....
I wished all I had to do was change the way I eat, drink and work. It has little to do with any of that. In my case, I have a medical condition up until yesterday, all I have been told it was a manageable defect that my body has. Can be managed with medication. And also the doc said that, it's nothing I have done. It's just something I was born with and now as an adult I am seeing this problem amplify.
There is also an added twist to this. The acid, can also cause cancer. Kinda like, they can garuntee you cancer in no time of you don't get this straight. So that scares the crap out of me.
Intially way back when, I thought it was an ucler and, actually the US Army said it was an ulcer too. Well, they suck as doctors and had the root of the problem been identified then, medication may have all I would have needed. Either which way. It's scaring me, I never had to deal with any of these question I am now asking myself.
As for the medical opinion. My gosh. I can't tell you how many times I'd go in, think this dudes the problem solver, for them to then refer me to another specialist, then to another and another. I kid you not, I have seen 11 doctors for this problem in 7 years. This specialist of specialists out of the Mayo clinic is supposedly the countries top guru of heartburn and my current doc has had quite a long conversation with him, prior to him consulting me about this wierd surgery. They concur that this may be the only thing that might work, but then again they don't know. In any event, this Mayo clinic dude will be at U of M next week and they are going to perform another exploratory scope just to be sure they are sure of whats the next step is.
This surgery has been performed in really conservative numbers, but in every case it did the trick. The doctor is going to be giving me a list of names of people from around the country that have had this done, so I can be a little more comfortable moving forward, he needs to have their permission first.
The risk is, simply, the fact they cut out half your stomach, the fact they remove organs and put them back together, is kind of like having a transplant of all organs by your stomach, they are just your own. No fatalities out of the 350 surgerires performed, but yet, very risky to the point the doc says to me yesterday, they have been extremely lucky in that way about it given the difficulty of whats involved.
Reprocussions of post surgery are even more riskier. Your eating, your daily life for the first couple months will be like, you can't move at all. You can't do much of anything. it's like the surgery will turn you into a vegetable and you got to fight your way back from the surgery to get whole again. Scary $hit. The one thing I liked hearing though was the fact that each one they have done, has been a great success and these people do not have any medical conditions ongoing a year after as a result of this being performed. They are off medication and they live a heartburn free life.
Not being a wise butt here, Dow, but have you looked into any natural or alternative medicine or pratices?
What have you got to loose? Check in with a few alternative style local doctors just to see what they have to say. Alternative medicines, although not usually a quick fix, offer some control or relief which can give you another option to at least consider."The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers it can bribe the public with the public's own money.

I've got acid reflux that hits me like every other day or so. Nothing even close to as bad as what you have, but it hurts like heck when an attack comes on. It's not like indigestion or a sour stomach thing, but a stabbing, sometimes disabling pain in the chest that goes up into the throat, like a heart attack.
The doc gave me a prescription of aciphex? or something like that, but I often don't have it with me when I'm having an attack while working.
I found something else that works, but it sounds really stupid. I didn't read about it anywhere, just thought it up one day and have done it hundreds of times and it always works. I take about 16 oz of water and *GULP* it down really hard and fast. If it's done right, I belch so loud you can hear me next door
It works.
Wow , sounds like a painful condition. I have had ulsers and dealt with them with Prilosec or the other overpriced drugs. Sounds as though yours is advanced though. I have heard that the stomach surgery is a common one but don't know about the others that you mentioned . One thing is clear however, the surgery will fix overweight problems if that relates to you . Hope all goes well for you.

Geeeeez Dow! It sounds like you're way past the getting a second opinion thing on this and you got a really scary decision to make real soon. I mean, like what the F*%k do you do now???
What's the time frame for you at this stage......? I know if it were me I'd go through every alternative medicine program, acupuncture, miracle cure and/or witchdoctor before I'd go for the knife to this degree......if I've got the time.
My advice is try all avenues if you can because even the best of the best in their business can be too focused on only one way to solve a problem. There has to be other approaches to this.
Weigh the pros and cons. How bad do you feel vs. how big is this risk? What about increasing the dosage of your medications?
Best of luck to you amigo.

Make sure you exhaust all opinions first.
My father had a similar operation about 5-6 years ago, they did not turn his stomach (I believe). They took part of his stomach out and moved the outlet of the stomach to another spot. He was told the acid had deteriorated the outlet to the stomach. He was only laid up for a few weeks but his was not as intrusive as what you describe.
He still has the acid problem but that is due to having a tumor on his pancreas and bile duct. He has the same pain as what you are talking about, so I know what you must be going through. They put a shunt in the bile duct in 1993 and gave him 6 months to live because of the tumor. He is still kicking at the age of 80 in fact he and my mother still drive all over the states. They just left Florida yesterday to go to Houston then to Tennessee. Indiana, finally here to New York for the summer.
Good luck
I have no clue what a heartburn is like... I'm 33, and never had one to this day! :-)
Dow, if you plan to have surgery, I would first research it a lot. Saw a program a while back about how many post surgery patients die of staph and other antibiotic resistant infections in the hospital.
I know what you feel Dow, as I suffer heartburn myself and have found that eating prior to bed is the worst thing that you can do. Try the simple medications, I.e. alka seltzer , tums and the like. cheaper and more effective.. Watch the M.D.'s they'll kill you experimenting. Good luck.

Family members of a missing Marina del Rey woman will join sheriff's homicide deputies Saturday near a Rancho Palos Verdes beach to search for anyone who might have seen her there.
The group will pass out missing person fliers for 50-year-old Rebecca Weiss, whose husband found her car and bag Aug. 11 near the beach adjacent to the Terranea Resort on Palos Verdes Drive South, sheriff's homicide Lt. Holly Francisco said.
Alan Weiss, 60, told deputies his wife left their home in a wetsuit to go free-diving off Rancho Palos Verdes. When she failed to return home at 5 p.m., he went looking for her.
He reported her missing about 11 p.m.
She was not found during four days of ocean searches.
Rebecca Weiss' family members said deputies did not recover her cellphone or keys. Francisco declined to confirm the information.
Homicide detectives have interviewed her husband. Rebecca Weiss' mother questioned his behavior, saying his reaction to her daughter's disappearance was "very strange."
Contacted Friday, Alan Weiss refused to speak to a Daily Breeze reporter, saying the media was reporting

If you ran into Stephen Tobolowsky on the street, you would not be mistaken: Yes, you've seen him before. A childhood dentist? A former geometry teacher? Your local florist? Tobolowsky is a character actor, one of the most prolific screen and stage presences of our time, having appeared in productions that range from Deadwood to Glee, from Mississippi Burning to Groundhog Day.
But Stephen Tobolowsky, it turns out, is not just an actor; he is also a dazzlingly talented storyteller and writer. He has earned a devoted base of fans for his original stories, told in front of live audiences as well as in a popular podcast. Now, for the first time, he has assembled those stories here. The result is creative mitzvah, a work of art, and a narrative feat that combines biography and essay, ranging in tone from the hilarious to the introspective.
To read these pages is to enter an astonishing world that, like all art, is universal yet individual, familiar yet disquieting. A dangerous world, indeed.
©2012 Stephen Tobolowsky (P)2012 Simon & Schuster
"Stephen Tobolowsky has found his true calling as a storyteller. He is candid, insightful, often profound, and very, very funny, especially when he recounts his adventures in show business. By blending sharp memories of his childhood with astute, adult observations of the world around him, he weaves a spell not unlike Jean Shepherd or Garrison Keillor… but he has a voice all his own, and I love it." (Leonard Maltin, film critic and author)
"I LOVE THIS!" (Sarah Silverman)
"Great storytelling, beautiful stuff." (Rian Johnson, director of The Brothers Bloom and Brick)
"Will Rogers, Spalding Gray, Alexandre Dumas HACKS!"
Charming, human, inspirational.
It happens a lot with the way Tobo crafts a tale. There is an A and B story line and they always intertwine at the end with a great "youseetimmy" Which of course is the morale to a given story. The term is derived from the end of Lassie episodes. "you see, Timmy...."
His own experience. These stories are his own. He knows where to slow down, where to punch a line, where to pause. I can't imagine them told in any other voice.
I honestly feel like I am a better human being for hearing this book, not to mention his podcast. I giggle, I get misty, even with repeated listens. I have bought this book and the audiobook for family and friends, I suggest you do the same.
I've had one cyber run in with the author. My daughter who was 11 at the time, was auditioning for a play and subsequently got the lead. She was freaking out about a fast approaching opening night and worried about learning all her lines. I had been a fan of the Tobolowsky Files podcast and I shot a tweet to him.
Not only did he respond to my tweet, but he sent my daughter a long email spelling out different techniques for learning a script and preparing a part. Anybody in the industry that is as busy as he who takes that kind of personal time out for a fan who is thousands of miles away is a stand up guy in my book.
"Insights and Laughter"
This book is far more entertaining and meaningful than most books on tape. Tobolowsky is not only an intelligent and perceptive observer of the human condition, but is consistently funny as he relates stories about his childhood, romantic relationships, family, and movie and television career. As a comic, Tobolowsky reminds me of the Canadian comic, Stuart MacLean (of "Dave Cooks the Turkey" fame). Great stuff!
"Vignettes of Every Kind!"
Its variety! Each story was truly something unique and different; there was certainly no predicting what would come next.
Mr. Tobolowsky's honesty, candor, and humor.
To choose a single "favorite" would be impossible because the book was highly entertaining.
The stories that stand out the most in my mind having now finished the book are the scene from the grocery store and the scene involving the stray dog. The aforementioned for hitting me with something I definitely did not see coming, and the latter for absolutely tearing at my heartstrings and making me cry in car.
Had that been a remote possibility, I wouldn't have ruled it out. Given that the book is almost 12 hours, that was not really going to happen.
A great listen.
"Near Perfection."
YES! I imagine it reads very well, but what makes the book so incredibly powerful is hearing it in Tobolowsky's own voice. There are many personal moments, some uplifting, some heartbreaking, and to hear Tobolowsky tell the tale with such passion and emotion made the book for me. Needless to say that is lost in the print version.
The way Tobolowsky can make you laugh and cry and then laugh again, all in the space of a few minutes.
This is one of the few audiobooks that I listened to again within days after finishing it. Considering it is nearly 12 hours long, that is high praise indeed!
I just didn't want to be done with those stories.
"Excellent Stories Told By a Master"
The Dangerous Animals Club is a fantastic book, both in audio format, as well as hardcover. If you're familiar with Stephen Tobolowsky or The Tobolowsky Files podcast, you'll immediately recognize these stories, albeit in greater detail / length. He also spins the stories together in more of a single timeline than with the podcast episodes, making the book feel more like one cohesive story, comprised of many smaller pieces.
If you're not familiar with his stories, you owe it to yourself to give this a listen. I've rarely (if ever) found such well-told stories that can make you laugh out loud and tear up at the same time. The manner in which the stories are told endear the author to the reader, making you connect to the stories personally. While immensely entertaining, the stories are filled with innumerable life lessons.
Having the stories read by the author makes this infinitely better. If read by anyone else, these amazing stories would have fallen flat.
All in all, The Dangerous Animals Club is story-telling at its best. I don't feel that there's much else to be said about this wonderful book, which will be reflected in the brief nature of the rest of this review.
I'm not sure what to compare these stories to. Other famous story-tellers like Garrison Keillor and Baxter Black are fantastic in their own right, but considerably different in their delivery and content.
I've really never seen / read / heard anything similar to these stories.
(see above)
Absolutely, if given the time to do so.
Be aware that, while most are completely family-friendly, a couple of the stories contain some language that may not be appropriate for younger listeners, specifically "A Wager With Freddy." Great story, but you may not want to listen with young ears around.
"A Fun Listen"
No, one time through is enough
When I heard that Stephen played Stu, Marcie's husband on Californication it increased my level of enjoyment. It struck me as one of those "close to home" characters.
There are several moving moments in the book
Stephen comes across as a very clever and talented guy and an excellent story teller.
Digital Artist
"I read this book with glee"
An Artists life.
The stories of his life are woven in such a way in and out of time. The life lessons and universal themes were enlightening.
He is the storyteller of his own life as an actor. As good an actor as he is he is a greater storyteller.
"Go Tobo Go!"
Everyone knows Stephen Tobolowsky, even if they are not sure who he is. Try IMDB and you'll figure out who he is. This was not only a great set of stories about Stephen's life, but in so many ways a lesson on how everyone should approach their lives.
This book had me really laughing in places. Stephen tells great stories and I could relate to each and every one of of his stories.
This is a book that benefits reading by the author and I can't wait for the next instalment. Highly recommended.
"NOT Even acting, this guy is GREAT"
Riveting Insightful Hilarious
This book was very enjoyable, from the inside stories of his acting experiences, to the mundane everyday occurences. He is a terrific writer, and I hope he has some more stories left for another book (or more!).
No. I listened over several weeks.
Stephen Tobolowsky's "The Dangerous Animals Club" is a charming, insightful, and often funny memoir delivered in the form of non-chronological stories that somehow make perfect sense in their seemingly random sequence. As to be expected, some stories are better than others, but the really good ones are so captivating that I had to stop everything else I was doing and just listen in awe. The not-so-good ones were still okay. And while I was bored by his many bible references, they were short enough to be bearable.
Stephen's performance was funny and flawless.

Applications for Endowment IBS Scholarships Due Oct. 31
Drexel students were some of last year's scholarship winners to attend the International Builders' Show.
Applications for students to attend the 2009 International Builders Show (IBS) in Las Vegas are now available and due by Oct. 31.
The scholarships ― sponsored by the National Housing Endowment in conjunction with the Home Builders Institute ― enable NAHB Student Chapter members to offset some or all of their travel and attendance expenses at IBS. Providing funding to students has proven to be instrumental in helping them learn outside the classroom and prepare careers in the home building industry.
The IBS scholarship program also helps give young NAHB members the tools to enter into the federation as graduates and to become future leaders.
The endowment has allocated $100,000 for scholarships in this, the second year of the program.
IBS is something that everyone who intends to enter into residential construction should see, said one student scholarship winner last year.
The National Housing Endowment is proud to continue this scholarship program for NAHBs student chapter members, said Gary Garczynski, endowment chair and 2002 NAHB President. The endowment is working to increase the number of college graduates entering residential construction and this scholarship, along with other programs we sponsor, is leading the effort to reward and encourage the best and brightest to choose a rewarding career in residential construction.
To be considered for funding, a student must meet the following qualifications:
Applications must be submitted online no later than midnight Oct. 31.
State and local home builders associations can apply for up to $2,500 in matching funds to distribute to their local NAHB Student Chapter.
Students can apply for up to $500 in non-matched funds.
Individual NAHB Student Chapters can apply for up to $2,500 in non-matched funds. Preference will be given to chapters represented by a Residential Construction Management Competition team at the IBS.
To apply online, visit www.NAHB.org/2009IBSscholarship.
Recipients will be notified by Nov. 21 and funds will be distributed in mid-December.
More Endowment Scholarship Programs
The endowment administers 12 scholarships and awards more than $350,000 each year to students pursuing careers in residential construction and related fields.
For more information, visit the endowment's Web site at www.nationalhousingendowment.org.

It is not easy being Luo......
Editor's Choice 01:30
However, the following behaviour of Luos leaves one wondering, maybe these wife battered people may be right. Luo behaviour is uniform wherever you go:-Is it in their genes?, has it to do with the foreskin?, is it excessive consumption of fish?
Figure the following:-
1. When Ojode's body arrived in Ndhiwa, they demanded to view the body. There were demonstrations with bonfires being lit on the road. We know the body was burnt beyond recognition. Is this what they wanted to view? Was is not better to be more sensitive to the family?.It was so disheartening to see the grieving wife pleading with the fools. Then on the burial day, the fools started causing mayhem until Kajwang had to speak in Luo to make them stop. This was despite the fact that the burial was being beamed live. Mand oywech, ufuwo kaguok!!`Stupid!!!
2. During the PEV, Luos burned down a Ministry of Works Yard in Oyugis with all the GOK vehicles packed therein. This is nowhere near Ndhiwa. They only left the Bulldozers because in Luo they are called "Tinga Tinga". They were heading to the local district hospital to raze it down before they were repulsed by the Police. Isn't this where they get medical attention? Thinking of it makes one feel like herding these fools into one big compound and chopping off the foreskin with a blunt stone!!!
3. In Kisumu, they were matching towards a water treatment plant to burn it down. Had it not been for quick action by the police, there was going to be no water in Kisumu the whole period of PEV. Then they would protest that there is no water. Jinga kabisa!
4. At Boya around Ahero, they razed down the local district agriculture office with all the computers plus the vehicles packed within the compound. This is foolishness of the highest order. I hear there is one who looted his own house then burned it down. The next day he was heard saying sirkal isaidie.
5. In Kisumu, you could see a Luo man looting a huge Sofaset, TV, groundnuts and blankets, leaving the more valuable laptops and mobiles. In Oyugis, a woman was shot dead having looted cooking fat from a Supermarket.
6. Any time Museveni mentions the word Migingo, a railway line is uprooted in Kibera. This is the same line which ferries the Luo to Kisumu when they go for leave with all their household goods.
8. When a Luo goes for annual leave, he carries all his household belongings in Nyaugenya Bus and carries back to Nairobi with Otange Bus Service when his leave ends.
Jothurwa, you may say ni awuoyo marach, but isn't this foolishness?.Such stupid behaviour cannot be tolerated in present day Kenya. People nyaka behave like mature human beings not tree monkeys. I think the Luo rite of passage of removing 6 teeth without anesthesia should be brought back to bring back maturity. This was actually more painful than circumcision. I am very annoyed, iya owang' kabisa!!!
Otherwise I concur with the calf buriers that you are foolish!
For those who are yet to get PhDs, this is a fertile ground for research with the following possible hypotheses.
1. The level of stupidity of a Luo man is proportionately related to the length of his foreskin.
2. The amount of fish a Luo consumes is directly related to the level of his stupidity
3. Luo behaviour is in the genes, isolate the gene and design ways of removing it and you will earn millions

SO! We need to pick a day and time so that we can meet here in the chat room and start the hour-and-a-half of celebration! I'm ok with doing this on a weeknight, but it might be easier on a weekend. It's approximatly 9 bottles of beer.
Who's in, and when? Spectators/hecklers are welcome!

For far too long, dividend stocks have been considered "boring" by mainstream investors. The question we like to ask around here is "What's so boring about making above-average returns and building long-term financial security?"
Quite simply, we believe that dividend-paying stocks are the best way to build long-term wealth.
In the real world, no one builds a fortune overnight. The key to growing your money is making smart investing decisions over a period of several years.
That's what's so great about high-quality dividend stocks -- these companies actually pay dividends to their investors every year, simply for owning the stock!
Advantages of Dividend-Paying Stocks
One thing's for sure, dividend stocks are not a get-rich-quick scheme. Dividends will seldom provide investors with large, immediate returns on their money. Dividend stocks do, however, supply their investors with that rare but crucial combination of capital gains and cash flow. Thus, when you buy quality dividend stocks, you have two ways to make money:
- Capital Gains - The stock price goes up, so your shares are worth more than you originally bought them for, and
- Dividends - The company whose stock you bought rewards its shareholders with (usually) quarterly dividend payments.
We can draw comparisons to dividend stocks within the real estate market by looking at multi-family apartment units. These investment properties, as long as they yield positive cash flow, make good investments because while the buildings themselves appreciate in value (capital gains), the investor also receives monthly revenue from the tenants (dividends).

UNITED NATIONS, (AJP)-Our modest "vagrant viking" col¬ league Peter Freuchen -who covers the UN 'for the Danish dally PoUtUcen aa one of hla many exploratory ventures-surprised most of hlfl friends here at the United Nations last week when he answered correctly the $64,000 question on the awesome, never-ending topic of the Seven Seas. Truly speaking^ few here really thought Peter had It In him. During press conferences with Mr. Hammarskjold, Peter always seems to be the one to Inject a rather humerous question creating somewhat of a stir in the conference room. Peter himself, however, irases the question in all seriousness, and his huidiimnn Dag Hammarskjold politely an¬ swers to the satisfeu^tlon of all. Thus; Peter Freuchen always stands vindicated. But answering the $64,000 question--that was something else. His colleagues here will now think twice before dismissing lightly any of his future questions during press conferences. Readers may be Interested to know that Peter had a Jewish grand¬ mother and that he Is presently married to a Danish-Jewish girl. His first wife was Eskimo, by whom he had two daughters. When the Israeli-Arab question was being discussed in the Security Council Peter often took your correspondent aside, saying; "Dave, the situation really looks serious, we Jews muat stick together and do something." Appearing grim and earnest, Peter's main worry has been the Arab refugees. Some way must be found to settle their problem, he Insists. While not always sympathetic to the Israeli cause. Peter's "Jewlshness" always Comes out when something goes wrong for Israel. When Klbla and other similar incidents were being debated, Peter would stalk the UN corridors In a let-down mood taking the UN criticisms as a sort of personal affront. And no wonder! — Peter Freuchen, who served In ' the Danish underground during the ! Hitler holocaust, was Instrumental' in saving thoutuUidM ct Jofvish Uvas | from the clutches of the Nazi > beasts whom he defied, often en- i dangering his own life. "For a few I weeks the salvation of the Jews! absorbed the energy, the time and i the resources of the underground," Peter says In his book, Vagrant Viking.

Others were entered In hospitals under false names.

Emjoi Light Caress Corded Epilator
DawnStaten IslandIt Works, And There Is Pain!I purchased this chiefly to deal with my facial hair (chin, upper lip). While it does work, it is limited in that it doesn't deal well with the natural curve of the jaw and chin. It works best at the upper lip, but be warned, it will sting to get those hairs out! The manual says that the Caress was not meant to be used as a shaver on the face, rather to use it to target "individual hairs." Yeah, right. I did test the Caress on my stomach, and I must say that it did a fabulous job there: hardly any regrowth in the two weeks since. Yes, it hurts. It is bearable. I have not used it on my legs, so I can't tell you much about that. I imagine that it would be quite an investment in time to get that job done. So, for the face, it is o.k. You will need to use the Caress daily on the face because of the various stages of growth that the hair is in. I will recommend the product because it did very well on my stomach, and it does work on the face, but not as well as I had hoped.posted Jan 31, 2010Link to this post
AlliNew JerseyMy First EpilatorThe first time I used it, it hurt pretty bad and took a while to do, but I had such great results I tried it again 3 weeks later. The second time was not nearly as painful and much quicker. I am definitely hooked because it makes my skin much smoother.posted Jan 26, 2010Link to this post
SandyTyler, TXBetter Than I Expected!After reading all of the reviews, I was a little apprehensive about using this. WRONG! It's MUCH less painful than waxing, especially on your chin and upper lip. I just do a little circle at a time, put on some soothing cream, and don't have any redness or welts. Going to try my underarms next, which will probably hurt a little more, but I'm really glad I bought this.posted Jan 26, 2010Link to this post
J-meOkI've had this for about 3 months. Its great for arms but hurts pretty bad for legs. I had to stop using it because of all the ingrown hairs on my legs. It's not so bad on bikini but waxing is much faster and in my opinion more effective. You have to go over the area over and over again to get most of the hair. I would not buy againposted Jan 15, 2010Link to this post
MayThis Is My First Epilator.I've never used an epilator before. I usually shave or tweeze or use hair removal creams or wax. The plus is that this is quick and virtually painless, although I've been told that I have high pain tolerance. This also helped reduce the ingrown hairs. The only minus is that the hair seems to grow back rather quickly, within 1 or 2 days. Also, be sure to let the hair grow out sufficiently or the epilator wont work.posted Nov 30, 2009Link to this post
CrystalNew York City, NYEffective Tool For Smooth Legs On The GoI did much research before I purchased this epilator. In fact, not until this year had I known what an epilator was. I believed my only options were to use a hair removal creme (which more than often results in hair growth the following day), shaving (which results in "prickly hair growth"), and waxing, which can be expensive overtime. I began by going to different sites, two of whic were folica.com and youtube.com, where tutorials, reviews, and demonstrations were provided. My ultimate review: I am completely and utterly pleased with the product. Some people may complain about the painful process, but sometimes, beauty hurts, and women more often than not will walk the NYC streets in the most uncomfortable high heels in the name of fashion in this competitively and fashionable society we live in. My personal experience with the Enjoi resulted in a painful beginning, but later along the path of hair free smoothness, I began to tolerate the pain as a result of its effectiveness. Effectiveness: You must allow your hair to grow before you begin using this on your legs. Don't expect a prickly little hair growth to be caught by the Emjoi (as it won't even be effective in waxing either)! Don't utilize the product directly before or after a shower, but always make sure whatever area you're using it on, that the area be cleaned well. If you used it late at night, try waking up early in the morning and reusing the Emjoi to remove any hairs that you may have missed or that were too short to get. I loved the product and it is indeed effective. I've never had an epilator before, nor had I heard of one until recently, and as a first meet, it has been pleasant and effective to use.posted Oct 31, 2009Link to this post
JoanneSan Marino, CA, USAWorks Great Practically Anywhere!First of all, I can pretty much say goodbye to my wax kit- yay! Aside from the semi-obnoxious whirring noise when it's turned on, this device is a gem :D. You won't get the right results 'til you do it right. No need to press the plucker hard on your skin, just lightly go over the area in the direction of hair growth. Go over a small patch 5-6 times and the hairs will all be gone! And there isn't even terrible redness (maybe a little bit of red if done on the face). Also, make sure the Emjoi logo is facing you when you brush away at your leg (thigh), so you get the general idea of which side to use. Anyway, that's all the advice I have to give! Works so well on the underarms! Just be patient :) Swtdreamzposted Oct 9, 2009Link to this post
IreneIrvine, CA, USAGreat Product!I love my Emjoi Epilator. It works so well and is virtually painless. Now that I have been using it over a year, the hair in the places I use it is growing back less and less. At this rate, in 5 years, I will not have any unwanted hair left to remove. I highly recommend this product to anyone that hates shaving!posted Sep 26, 2009Link to this post
MelissaW,springfield,MA USAWow it hurts alot the first 20 secs and then you get used to it. It works great. I usely have to shave every other day but now i dont. Also, I have very sensitive skin and I get really bad razor burn. Now, my legs are so smooth without the redness and bumps. It also works great on the bikini area I LOVE IT!posted Sep 13, 2009Link to this post
LHairDark BrownNot As Bad As I ThoughtI have light skin and dark hair so even when I shave, my skin looks dirty. Even after I shaved the next morning it was stubbly. I've done the waxing route, but it took too long and was messy. I'm not paying for laser hair removal so I thought I would give this a try. I read all the reveiws and was well aware of the pain I was in for. I was surprised when it didn't hurt as much as I thought it would. It didn't take as long as I thought it would. I did my legs and my bikini area. I didn't use any numbing spray/cream/lotion and I was fine. I did notice that some hairs seem to only get cut and not pulled and some of the lighter hairs wouldn't come out. It was easy enough to tweeze those out. I'm enjoying the fact that I don't have to shave everyday and hopefully the longer I use it, the less hair will come back.posted Aug 30, 2009Link to this post

3. | rapey | ||
Someone who has a creepy, I-want-to-get-into-your-pants look. Their leer often turns into action, and before you know it they will tell you that it wasn't rape because you liked it. Can be male or female, or undecided in the case of certain unmentionables. Look at Captain Underpants over there, he looks quite rapey, you should probably stay away from him unless you are a nymphet.
1. | Rapey | ||
A guy who's creepy, and hugs or kisses inappropriately. He has a rapist lure. You don't think he would do it but definitely gives off that vibe. i.e. creepy hugger at the office.
Luisa: Ew, Al Just hugged me.
Maribeth: Ew, Gross. Luisa: I know he's so rapey. Maribeth: Yeah total Rapefest. |
2. | rapey | ||
in description of a certain area or person in reference to the possability of being raped by said place/person. Oh dont walk that way home it looks a bit rapey.
That bloke over there looks a tad rapey. |
4. | rapey | ||
Rapey, adj, a dark and scary place. Usually a place of vulnerability. I was was scared walking home alone last night through that super rapey alley.
5. | rapey | ||
1. one who speaks or behaves like a potential/actual rapist 2. a place that looks ideal for a rapist to do his/her filthy business 1. That guy is givin' off a real rapey vibe.
2. I wouldn't go into that dark alley if I were you; it looks pretty rapey. |
6. | Rapey | ||
Rapey is a situation that could potentially lead to rape or just appear to be the start of an impending rape. Alternatively if there is a very ropey situation that goes beyond ropey then rapey could be used. In a crowded night club with two sexy girls dancing to garage music wearing only hot pants and a bra top, catch the eye of two young guys. After 5 minutes of furious grinding one guy gets the wrong idea and very horny and thinks, "I'm going to fuck this bird now" and proceeds to "drop trou" and slap his semi erect thudder on the back of the aforementioned grinding girl!
M: Ah yeah I need to tap this ass, zzzziiiippppp, flop thud! Girl1: Oh whats that? (turns round and see's a man with his trousers round his ankles M: Heh! Girl 1: SLAP!!! Girl 2: That was a bit rapey! |
7. | Rapey | ||
2.A person, place or thing related to creepy sexual acts Also see: consensual Meg:Wow. That drunk guy on the F train was really rapey-looking.
Frances: Yeah... I wouldn't want to follow him down a dark alley. That'd be super-rapey. |
