Updates and clarifications
Last night, after experiencing my hand being completely numb, my pain threshold being maxed out, nausea, dizziness and hot flashes, I decided that we needed to go to the emergency room. I unbandaged myself and the finger oozed, and was twice the size. It was getting worse not better. I kept thinking of that Elf quote, "My finger has a heartbeat." We dropped Bea off and headed to the hospital. Five hours later, I got a script for an antibiotic, and probably picked up half a dozen viruses from my heavy-breathing emergency room lurkers. I overheard some guy with an ice pack on his head on the phone, "Yeah, Mom thinks it's meningitis. So she made me goto the hospital, dude."
I took a bunch of pictures of my finger. I want to remember what it looks like when you do something stupid. I'm tempted to post one, just to hear the digital ewwwws. I overheard the nurses joking about me.
"What a night."
"Yeah, we even have a lady who stuck her hand in a blender."
"That's gross."
I was okay until they took us back in a little room finally, where we were told to hurry up and wait. The curtain. And the waiting, and the ER smells, and the public health posters became overwhelming in the early hours of morning, and I cried. I looked at Sam, and I said, "I miss her."
"And Lucy?"
"Yes. I miss them both."
That room, the anticipation, took me right back to December. Right back. I wanted to be in bed, moaning, and I missed Lucy, last heard in a room much like the one in which I was sitting. It just became too much. The Murphy's Law of waiting rooms is just when you crack, the doctor walks into the room. So, here I am, with a little bitty finger cut crying, and in walks the lady who takes care of dunderheads.
If you are really interested in having a baby lost weekend (See how I did that?), please send me an email (uberangie (at) gmail (dot) com). I sort of need to get an idea of how many people are interested in a real way for organizing. This retreat would be on the East Coast, most likely outside of Philadelphia (or in), possibly the Jersey shore, on a weekend in October/November. I am SOOOOO excited.
I will try not to talk about my finger anymore, unless they eventually amputate, in which case, I might obsessively talk about that for a while.

I wish I could come on a baby lost weekend but I'm an ocean away. Boo.ReplyDelete
Hope the finger isn't feeling too sore.
Yes, I want to see it. I'm weird that way I guess. :)ReplyDelete
I wish I could join you as well, but I know it's not in the budget. Now if you want to come here and sit and look at clouds for free, I'm in!
I bet that throbbing really hurt. I'm hoping the antibiotics helped to ease the pain at least to the point where it doesn't feel as if your finger is on fire.
Peace, my friend.

I get the remaining friends with the ex - one of the very first people to come over and sit with us was my ex - no clarification needed!ReplyDelete
And yes, I'm in on the Jersey shore.
Please give us some warning if you post a picture of the finger. I'm squeamish and I feel I should remind that you have already posted pictures of a squished bug scaraby thing on your blog. Eeeewww.ReplyDelete
In all seriousness, I hope that your finger is as well as it can be given its recent encounter with the blender. It is frightening, how life can change in the blink of an eye.
And i'm a whole different ocean away. I would paddle there myself if I could.ReplyDelete
Keep that wound clean Angie!
Actually I'm kind of interested in seeing what you did to your finger. I must be weird.ReplyDelete
Yes, if Sal attempts to swim over I will jump on her back and come with. Sounds like a great idea.
I just wanted to say that I think that you are cool...ReplyDelete
Hope the finger feels better soon.
I totally understood what point you were trying to make with the ex bf in the original.. you're a great writer, so it was obvious! :)ReplyDelete
Hopefully your finger starts to heal now.. yikes, it makes me cringe to think of it! You totally should post a picture!! hehe
A baby loss weekend sounds so amazing! This year is not so good for us though.. as I 'should' be taking care of a sweet little rainbow baby!

Washington, DC (September 19, 2013) – On September 11th, The National Multiple Sclerosis Society's National Capital Chapter hosted the 35th Annual Ambassadors Ball at the JW Marriott in Washington, D.C.
Emceed by CBS Congressional News Correspondent Nancy Cordes, the well attended evening welcomed newly-assigned Ambassadors and their spouses to the city and honored the Washington Diplomatic Corps for their support of charitable activities and humanitarian endeavors.
This year's Ambassadors Ball raised nearly $850,000, contributing to the more than $18 million that the event has raised throughout its history. Funds raised will continue to move research forward to identify the cause of and cure for multiple sclerosis, a disease that affects 400,000 Americans and 2.5 million people worldwide. Donations also support local programs and services for those affected by MS in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
Guests contributed to the cause by participating in a silent auction including opportunities to dine with Ambassadors at their embassies, exotic getaways, native food and wine, world-wide cultural experiences.
The 2013 co-chairs were Mrs. Terese Casey, wife of Senator Robert Casey of Pennsylvania, and Mrs. Mylene Walden, wife of Congressman Greg Walden of Oregon. Honors were given to Multiple Sclerosis Congressional Caucus Co-Chair Congressman Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, and Caucus member Senator Richard Burr of North Carolina , as well as Former United States Chief of Protocol Ambassador Capricia Penavic Marshall.

KBR Prepared to Sever Last Ties To Halliburton With Stock Swap
Thursday, March 29, 2007
Rising 11 stories in Crystal City is a building with three big red letters on the outside: KBR.
The company, among the largest private contractors in Iraq, has long been associated with its giant parent, Halliburton, and both have been lightning rods for controversy. Now they are preparing to split, and Halliburton has set a deadline of midnight tonight for a stock swap to help accomplish that.
On its own, KBR would have an opportunity to chart a course as a wide-ranging government contractor with diverse skills. Halliburton would be free to concentrate on its core oil- and gas-services business.
The split offers a chance for the two companies to put some distance between them and their past. Halliburton has been criticized for its close ties to Vice President Cheney, who was its chief executive from 1995 to 2000. This month, Halliburton said it would open a corporate office in Dubai and move its chief executive there.
KBR, meanwhile, has defended itself against accusations that it overcharged the government and did not properly document work done under its contracts in Iraq.
"For better or for worse, the public is fixated on the KBR-Halliburton-Cheney conspiracy," said Steven L. Schooner, a procurement specialist at George Washington University Law School.
The separation is a crucial turning point for two companies started in 1919 by oilmen in Texas and Oklahoma. By the time Halliburton bought what was then Brown & Root in 1962, both businesses had worldwide reputations. Brown & Root built the first offshore oil platform in 1947; Halliburton had 22 offices around the world. The M.W. Kellogg division of Dresser Industries, which Halliburton bought in 1998, was added to the subsidiary, which was renamed KBR in 2002. Halliburton is widely described as pleased to be rid of a relatively low-margin business that was viewed as a drag on its stock price.
"They're just different businesses and over time it's been a distraction for management and a distraction for investors," said Michael Urban, a senior analyst at Deutsche Bank. "As they separate they'll both go on their merry way."
KBR is being spun off in two stages. The first was in November, when Halliburton launched a public offering for a 19 percent stake in the subsidiary.
The second is taking place now. Halliburton is shedding the rest of its stake in the company and shareholders have the right to trade their shares for shares in KBR. The deadline for that swap is midnight tonight, but it may be delayed to give investors more time to decide what to do with their shares.
KBR's share price has fallen 17 percent since Halliburton announced in February that it would sell its remaining stake.
Analysts attribute part of the decline to Wall Street gamesmanship. They say some investors have traded Halliburton shares for more valuable KBR stock, and then sold the new shares quickly, pocketing the profit and driving down KBR share prices. That trading has led others to bet that KBR shares will continue to fall, putting further pressure on the stock. As KBR share prices fall relative to Halliburton's it becomes less attractive for Halliburton shareholders to trade in their stock for shares in the new company.
Trading issues are not the only explanation for the decline. Analysts said some investors may also be responding to KBR's decision to record charges to account for problems with some overseas projects, including one in Escravos, Nigeria, where civil unrest has delayed work.
The disentangled KBR will have other business challenges ahead, analysts said. The company built up a huge revenue stream by feeding, housing and providing other services to U.S. troops in Iraq and elsewhere. Roughly half its $9.6 billion in revenue last year came from its work in Iraq.
But the Army intends to spread out more of the work among three contractors to be chosen later this year. And there is the longer-term expectation of withdrawing troops, and the infrastructure that supports them, from Iraq.
Though KBR is expected to begin its new life virtually debt-free, the company no longer will have Halliburton's deep financial pockets. Already, there is talk that KBR will sell its interest in running the Devonport Royal Dockyard once it no longer has Halliburton's backing, analysts said.
On the positive side, KBR could emerge as less bureaucratic and more focused on its core strength: engineering and construction in the energy industry.
Raymond F. DuBois, a senior adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies and a former acting Army undersecretary, said a stand-alone company might be more willing to address concerns from Congress and take a more open tone with critics.
"It won't be laboring under the Halliburton approach to life," said DuBois, who was a consultant to KBR for the past year. "You're now independent. You no longer have to look to Houston. They had to get permission from mother Halliburton on how to deal with Congress and the media."
KBR officials declined to speak specifically about their relationship with Halliburton or their plans, citing the spinoff quiet period.
KBR starts life as an independent company with one ace: its specialty of turning natural gas into liquid that's shipped around the world. Analysts say there is a backlog for infrastructure of such facilities. And there are opportunities for KBR to increase its revenues in its energy and chemical business, which is now 25 percent of its revenues.
"KBR has a fine reputation in its engineering and energy expertise," said Barry Bannister, an analyst from Stifel Nicolaus. "Where they were weak is that they weren't attentive enough in pricing their contracts. They took a lot of risk and sometimes shareholders would pay for that."
Analysts said they don't expect the upper management of KBR to change. William P. Utt, who was named KBR's president and chief executive in March 2006 and previously worked at Suez Energy North America; and Cedric W. Burgher, who came to the company as chief financial officer in 2005 from a similar job at Burger King, are regarded by analysts as executives who can push the company forward.
"The separation leads to a more acute focus to KBR," said William Herbert, co-head of research at Simmons & Co. International. "They were already a formidable entity in its own right. And now probably more so."

- Rodgers makes the nearly impossible look easy, leading the Packers in a 75-yard march downfield, culminating in a touchdown pass to Davante Adams to take down the Cowboys.
Three thoughts from the Packers 35-31 win over the Cowboys.
1. There's only one Aaron Rodgers. One minute and 13 seconds, one timeout, 75 yards separating his team from victory and about 40 yards needed to get into range to tie the game with a field goal. The odds are against every quarterback in that situation, even Rodgers. Just to add to Rodgers's degree of difficulty on this one, or maybe to give the Cowboys a fighting chance, Jordy Nelson was suddenly on the sidelines with an undisclosed injury.
That's apparently no problem for the best quarterback in the league—somehow, Rodgers makes it seem like the odds are always in his favor. Rodgers started the drive by connecting with Davante Adams for a 14-yard gain. He ripped off 14 more on the next play with an athletic catch and run by Martellus Bennett. Two snaps later, a nifty play call resulted in a 15-yard run by Aaron Jones, who finished with 125 rushing yards and a touchdown on 19 carries in place of the injured Ty Montgomery. At this point, the Packers were in Mason Crosby's range, meaning, at worst, they'd have a good shot at a field goal attempt that would tie the game at 31. Three plays later, it seemed that might be the best-case scenario.
Rodgers got flushed from the pocket on a third and eight, but beat two pursuing defenders to the edge. He turned it up field, easily got the first down and then some, scampering for 18 yards. It seemed almost academic after that. Rodgers and Adams hooked up for a 12-yard touchdown, giving the Packers a dramatic 35–31 win in Dallas.
2. But he did get some help from the other sideline. Before that incredible game-winning possession, it seemed Dak Prescott would be the hero of the game. Trailing 28–24, the Cowboys took possession with just less than 10 minutes left in the contest. Over the next eight minutes and 43 seconds of game time, they did just about everything right. Prescott opened the drive, which started at the Dallas 21-yard line, hitting Dez Bryant for a nine-yard gain. That began a 79-yard march that included a two third-down conversions and one fourth-down conversion, capped off by Prescott's 11-yard touchdown run.
The lone misstep, however, came a player earlier. On second and two from the Green Bay 11-yard line, Prescott threw a fade to Dez Bryant. It fell to the ground incomplete, stopping the clock and allowing the Packers to preserve their final timeout. To be fair, the Cowboys needed to get into the end zone, and they can't be overly concerned with how much time they're leaving Rodgers, as lethal as he is. Still, a low percentage pass was an odd play call in that situation, and Ezekiel Elliott had softened up the Green Bay defense, getting up to 116 yards on 29 carries. That call was the one mistake Dallas made on an otherwise perfect drive. It also helped Rodgers and the Packers flip the game in the final minute and 13 seconds.
3. A shifting of power in the NFC East? The Cowboys are now 2-3, and while there's certainly no shame in losing to the Packers or at Denver, and apparently none in losing to the Rams, either, the bottom line is they're two games behind the Eagles. The Eagles haven't exactly been world beaters, with their last three wins coming over the 0-5 Giants, 1-4 Chargers and 2-3 Cardinals, but they've mostly taken care of business this year. Their one loss was at Kansas City, though they were tied at the halfway point of the fourth quarter, and within a score until the final two minutes of the game.
The Cowboys and Eagles don't meet until Week 11. The Cowboys have a bye next week, and come out of it with road games against the 49ers and Redskins. After that, they host the Chiefs and visit the Falcons before their first shot at the Eagles. The first-place team in the division, meanwhile, visits the Panthers next week before three straight home games against the Redskins, 49ers and Broncos. In other words, the Eagles are extremely likely to be in the driver's seat in the NFC East when they get together with the Cowboys for the first time this season the week before Thanksgiving.

My husband and I bought our first house in 2013. A few years later, we are selling and about to move and to be honest, we're not entirely sure where yet! One thing we know is that we are not rushing it this time, which brings me to the topic of discussion, tips on buying a home whether you're a first timer, or not. Learn from my family's experience as buyers and sellers. See also this interesting video with great tips:
1. Order your credit report (you're entitled to one free credit report through all 3 major bureaus from Annualcreditreport.com). I recommend ordering your score as well. Check for any mistakes and dispute any discrepancies such as account information, addresses, payment amounts, etc. This will not only help you see where you stand with your credit but it will prevent any surprises later when the bank runs your credit.
2. Figure out all your expenses, see what you can pay down and what you can afford for a monthly payment. Use a mortgage calculator and do a slight overestimation on taxes and insurance.
When you figure the approximate payment amount, calculate it against your monthly gross income. If it is under 45%, you're in good shape. If it's over, you might need to lower your price range to qualify for the loan and make sure you're not house poor. Don't forget to calculate utilities (gas/water/electric and HOA fees) into your calculations.
3. Get preapproved for a mortgage. I'll say it again, get preAPPROVED. I don't mean go online to quicken loans or have a casual conversation with a lender based on arbitrary numbers. You'll really just be wasting your time if you do that. Actually get your documents together (1 month of pay stubs, last two years tax returns, w-2s), THEN go talk to a lender! There's nothing worse than getting "pre-qualified" and finding out you don't actually qualify for anything.
Even worse when you've already fallen in love with a house or you've put in an offer/are in the contract! Make sure they give you an estimate of closing costs as well and that you have enough money for a downpayment AND closing costs. Work with the lender to determine what kind of loan will best suit you. FHA, conventional, 203k, etc. See if your lender knows of any first-time home buyers programs in your area.
4. If one lender says no, or if you think the rate offered is too high, shop around. Not all lenders are created equal. Just be mindful of how many times your credit is run because it will lower your score. We're going to get our 2018 score now. I'm actually glad the holiday season is over, though I'll miss the things like all those nice cookies…
5. Don't open up any credit card accounts, finance purchases, take out a loan or buy/lease a vehicle during the process between preapproval and closing on a house. If you do, you run the risk of no longer qualifying for a mortgage because it will throw the ratios off. The only exception may be if you are turning in a car with a higher payment for a lower one but even so, talk to your lender first.
6. Figure out what is most important to you in a home. Are there any non-negotiables? Do you absolutely need that extra bedroom or bathroom? Things like wood floors and granite countertops shouldn't be a priority unless you are absolutely against a future renovation.
If a house doesn't have the exact finishes you want, it's not the end of the world. Things like paint, flooring, cabinets, and countertops can be changed. One thing is sure: our new home must give us some outdoor space so we can breathe better than in a typical urban setting.
7. Figure out if the location is somewhere you can live forever, even if you don't plan on it. Sometimes homes sell themselves. Perhaps a house has great curb appeal or the perfect layout but just because we fall in love with the house itself doesn't mean the location is ideal. How long will your commute to work be?
Can you do that same commute day in and day out for years to come? Would you live on a busy road? Maybe now you would since the price is so enticing but will you still love that house if say, you decide to have kids? These are all questions to ask yourself before you start looking.
8. Prepare yourself for the houses you are going to see when you start looking. If the house is an old colonial from the late 1800′s early 1900′s, it might need work. I can't tell you how many homes on Long Island were built in the early 1900s!
Then there's a ton from the 1940s when there was a need for housing post-WWII (hello, Levittown!) Those houses were made quickly, and many of them need work. Unless you are paying top dollar for a completely remodeled and renovated home, be prepared to see houses that will eventually need work to update them. Well, let's see if this all is fiction or really non-fiction.
9. Start looking at houses! Working with a buyer's agent has its perks but I don't personally recommend signing an agreement with a buyer's agent until you're comfortable with him/her enough and know they have your best interests in mind. It is also important to know they work in a timely fashion and alert you to newly listed houses quickly.
You should not be chasing your agent asking them about houses that come onto the market. They should be telling YOU! The best way to find a buyer's agent is through word of mouth and personal recommendation. If a realtor pushes for you to sign an agreement right away, move on to the next one. If you're not sure, find a person you trust for some coaching.
10. Once you find a house you love, research where the market is headed in the area. Use sites like zillow.com to search for Recently Sold homes (goes back about 2 years) and see if homes show a trend of increasing in price or decreasing in price.
Don't count homes currently for sale in your comparison, only those that sold (including short sales and foreclosures). Figure out the appropriate market value for the home you're interested in and put in an offer up to 8% less. It should leave room for negotiations without offending the seller.
11. Take the above information, and decide if the market is still declining, is your new home going to be somewhere you will live for the long term? As in 15+ years? I ask this because if you think you'll be in your "starter home" for only 5 years and the market is still declining, you might take a loss when you go to sell, especially if you put money into improvements. If the market where you're looking is on the rise (usually a seller's market), you will probably be in better shape if you don't plan on living there forever.
12. Don't skimp on a home inspector. You get what you pay for. Call around and get quotes from at least 5 inspectors. I wouldn't necessarily go with the lowest price. Like lenders, not all inspectors are created equal. You want someone who is going to be meticulous. Someone who's going to see past any cover-ups and tell you every detail you need to know before proceeding with your purchase.
He will see things you may have missed during showings. Just don't be surprised if you go with the cheap inspector and start finding things wrong with the house that never made it to your inspection report after you go to closing and move in. That's never fun and it can be very costly!
13. Don't let your excitement cloud your judgment. Is the house priced out of your true comfortable price range? How is your timeline, are you in a rush to buy? Sometimes we get ahead of ourselves and we make rush decisions.
In a seller's market, realtors can't stress enough that you need to decide quickly, sometimes even within hours of seeing a house. But I can't tell you enough that you need to consider all the above things before you get into contract on a house! Do your due diligence and research everything you can so that there are no surprises.
Familiarize yourself with terms such as short sale, REO/foreclosure, ARM, fixed rate mortgage, points, PITI, PMI, contingencies, appraisal, closing costs, earnest money, escrow, equity, LTV, etc. Knowledge is key in real estate transactions and will only help you in the long run!

Melasma in reality can fade on its own. This is frequently the circumstance when the results in for the melasma are being pregnant or delivery management capsules. By stating this, it means that if a female delivers a infant or will take the start regulate supplements, melasma will seem as a result of the pointed out motion. So later on when the lady provides the newborn or stops taking the start control supplements, melasma can instantly fade.
Different from the situation above, quite a few persons, nevertheless, have melasma which lasts for several years or even even worse a life time. Melasma therefore can seriously affect one's exterior overall look, which leaves the influenced persons in a very shy and depressing condition. If it transpires that the melasma does not go absent, there are heaps of melasma treatments readily available out there to try out.
Topical agents:
1) Hydroquinone
Hydroquinone can be viewed as the most usually prescribed depigmenting agent throughout the world. By this, it has turn out to be the most common system of treating melasma. Making ready hydroquinone to handle melasma can be at concentrations from two to 5% utilized the moment each day. The depigmenting consequences of hydroquinone treatment method grow to be obvious after five-seven months. Treatment with hydroquinone must be continued for at minimum 3 months and up to just one year. Also in point, hydroquinone is also mixed with other brokers like sunscreens, topical steroids, retinoids, and glycolic acids for supplemental benefits.
What you must be conscious are the reversible effects from working with hydroquinone for your melasma treatement. Irritation is the most common impact, other adverse consequences are erythema, stinging, colloid milium, irritant and allergic call dermatitis, nail discoloration, transient hypochromia, and paradoxical postinflammatory hypermelanosis. This is what can be noticed when treatment method of melasma with hydroquinone is at concentrations bigger than two%.
Remaining questioned about its basic safety to the end users, hydroquinone has been banned in cosmetic preparations in numerous countries.
2) Azelaic acid
Azelaic acid is an acid to begin with created as a topical anti-acne agent, azelaic acid can also be employed to take care of hyperpigmentary issues like melasma.
The excellent information is that a review has proven that a 20% focus of azelaic acid was equal to four% hydroquinone when treating melasma, but with out its facet effects. Yet another managed study has established azelaic acid to be outstanding to 2% hydroquinone. Blended use of azelaic acid with .05% tretinoin or fifteen-twenty% glycolic acid can result in earlier furthermore pronounced pores and skin lightening. Adverse effects of azelaic acid are pruritus, moderate erythema, and burning.
three) Kojic acid
Kojic acid is applied at concentrations ranging from one to four%. In several scientific studies, kojic acid mixtures with other topical agents are proved equally helpful with a reduction of pigmentation in 52% of the patients. Nonetheless, the adverse ffects can lead to get in touch with dermatitis
and erythema.
four) Retinoids
Retinoids in the sort of retinoic acid can be used in the treatement of melasma. The acid, when compared to hydroquinone, will take a much lengthier time to act evidently soon after 24 weeks.
Retinoids has generated a fantastic therapeutic response in scientific trials but much better outcomes are obtained in blend with hydroquinone and corticosteroids. Also be informed of aspect consequences this kind of as erythema, burning, stinging, dryness, and scaling or hyperpigmentation in people today with dim pores and skin. Sufferers therefore ought to be suggested to use sunscreens during remedy with retinoids.
5) Topical steroids
Topical steroids are used in mixture solutions for their synergistic results and for the reduction of discomfort from other products like tretinoin. Different combinations with hydroquinone and retinoic acid have offered fantastic beauty success in scientific trials. Adverse consequences of topical steroids include irritation, rosacea-like dermatosis, atrophy, telangiectasia, and hypertrichosis.
6) Glycolic acid
Glycolic acid is ordinarily used in blend with other agents at a concentration of five-10% for its skin-lightening home.

The mechanism of its result could deliver brief pigment dispersion on pigmentary lesions. It also directly lessens melanin formation in melanocytes by tyrosinase inhibition.
A formulation of 10% glycolic acid and four% hydroquinone has been proved to have a very good clinical efficacy in treating melasma. Discomfort was a popular facet impact.
seven) Mequinol
Mequinol is a by-product of hydroquinone with unclear mechanism of motion nonetheless, it is continue to currently being used at a focus of two% in blend with .01% tretinoin as a penetration enhancer to address melasma. In a examine, a formulation of mequinol 2% and tretinoin .01% answer was discovered to be extremely efficient and properly-tolerated treatment method for solar lentigines and relevant hyperpigmented lesions, currently being outstanding to hydroquinon. The outcome has revealed that 4 out of 5 sufferers realized full clearance at twelve weeks, and just one individual confirmed average advancement. Side consequences had been small and consisted of stinging in just one patient. All people taken care of superior benefits at the 16-weeks' comply with-up pay a visit to.
eight) Arbutin
Arbutin, also a by-product of hydroquinone, is a obviously developing plant product or service utilized correctly in the cure of hyperpigmentary diseases which includes melisma.
The motion of arbutin is dose-dependent and fewer toxic than hydroquinone, which makes reversible skin-lightening by direct inhibition of tyrosinase. Scientific tests have shown that it could be a risk-free and productive melismas treatment.
Experiental brokers:
• N-acetyl-four-S-cysteaminylphenol
• Alpha-tocopheryl Ferulate
• Ascorbic acid
• Niacinamide
• Liquorice derivatives
• Flavonoids
If topical agents are not powerful ample to reduce your melasma, a procedure may perhaps do. Techniques for melasma done by dermatologists involve a chemical peel (these types of as glycolic acid), microdermabrasion, and dermabrasion. New skin issues can occur when the individual who provides the remedy does not tailor it to the patient's skin type.

How to Keep a Stranger from Hitting On You
I'm not particularly good looking, but I LOVE to wear short skirts and smile at practically everyone I pass on the streets (little known fact: I smile when I'm terrified), so I end up getting hit on a lot - and usually not by the guys I'd like to see hitting on me. Obviously wanting to avoid unwanted attention, I asked my friends on Facebook for advice, and got 62 responses.
Below you will find a list of the major tactics you can employ to keep strangers from hitting on you. Some of them are funny, but others are REALLY practical! I hope you find this advice as amusing and useful as I did.
Smell Bad
One of the top tips offered by my friends was to emit an unpleasant odor. You may wish to utilize the following scents to throw off unwanted advances:
- Unwashed socks
- Unwashed hair
- Feet
- Farts (It became apparent that the ability to fart on demand would be exceedingly useful in this case)
- Garlic breath (Bonus: You get to eat delicious garlic-laced foods!! Mmmm!!! The only downside here is that you may deter those who you actually WANT to see hitting on you.)
The Jejune Institute
Behave Oddly
Some of my favorite pieces of advice involved exhibiting odd or dubious behavior. Tips and suggestions included:
- Drooling
- Hacking up phlegm and projecting it toward oncoming offenders
- Inviting them to join a cult (I always recommend the Jejune Institute - it is, without a doubt, the coolest cult out there)
- Explaining that you are a polygamist or reverse-polygamist
- Toss boots at them
- Reveal that you are a serial killer
A small caveat to the cult invitation tactic: One contributor to the discussion pointed out that, from previous personal experiences with Christian youth groups, the found that the cult defense may not work at all. Now that I think about it, the cult tactic could even backfire.
If one does not want to utilize these more radical tactics, one can also pretend to not speak the language. The major risks there are that (1) the offender realizes your ruse, (2) the offender speaks multiple languages, and (3) the offender does not see language as a barrier and forges ahead anyway. One may also feign blindness.
Be Particularly Annoying
One helpful contributor to the dialogue recommended a tactic which I find to be very great for those who are skilled with words and have high levels of emotional intelligence.
The examples he provides are excellent:
Ex - In NYC? You're now an extreme Bill O'riely fan. "Yea, I can't believe all these liberal nut jobs want to kill America."
Your stranger mentions something about working in the music industry - "The Stereo in my Car is broken, but I think I really relate to Lady Gaga's Struggle."
He points out that you must deliver these comments (which are in direct opposition to the offender's values) without a flinch - obviously delivery is key.
As this smart contributor points out, and what I love most about this tactic, is that you reject the individual who is hitting on them, but you also make them feel pretty good about not wanting to be anywhere near you. Brilliant!
Note: ahostagesituation adds that you can just take the b!#ch approach, which is an easy way to make oneself disagreeable should one not be able to acertain enough information about one's opponent's likes or dislikes. Convenient!
Look Horrid
Nobody will want to hit on you if you look terrible, diseased, or both, hence many of my friends suggested taking measures to make one's appearance as unpleasant as possible. Suggestions included:
- Applying fake cold sores to ones face
- Walking around with a smelly trash bag
- Dress like someone who is living on the streets
- Wear a pink fluffy bathrobe with ominous looking holes and stains - extra points if it smells of rancid fish
If one does not want to adopt these more radical approaches, one can also follow the advice of some of my friends who simply suggested the avoidance of smiling, looking interesting, adorable, or otherwise approachable.
Though sometimes such action is impossible, a very sound nugget of advice that recurred several times in the comment thread was to run away. The most effective running away, of course, is that which takes place before the offender has even made his or her initial approach.
Evasive action can actually be quite the enjoyable activity - one could develop ninja-like reflexes, learn how to lose someone trailing oneself, and develop fast reflexes.
Build a Wall!
If you can't run, perhaps you can hide.
Several of my friends pointed out that large sunglasses and headphones make for great deterrents when it comes to avoiding public discourse with strangers. While some very aggressive individuals may attempt to break through these barriers, dark glasses and headphones (be they blasting music or not) make for a great first line of defense.
Adopt a Systems Approach
The same witty contributor who pointed out the oppose-the-offenders'-values approach also posed the challenge from a Systems perspective - that one simply must "decrease the reward or increase the effort required, or both."
If none of the suggestions provided in this guide are suitable for a certain scenario in which you have found yourself, all you need to do is consider that basic principle and do whatever you must to make yourself less desirable and/or to make it more difficult to reach you.
Accept it!
The final piece of advice offered was to simply give up and accept the reality that, like it or not, strangers will hit on you from time to time.
Some suggested that it's best to take it as a compliment and move on. Others recommended eye contact and courage, and respect for those who are hitting on oneself ("Being a guy is complicated too. Women don't own the corner when it come [sic] to complexity and issues").
I suppose in the long run, this might be the most low maintenance way to go, though only if one is good at tolerating unwanted attention.
Thanks, Facebook buddies!
Obviously, these aren't my own tips, so I owe a big thank you to everyone who responded to my query on Facebook.
Some of those helpful people are even writers on HubPages! Specifically, I want to thank Patty Inglish, MS, akirchner, Cagsil, LiamBean, and Pretty Darkhorse.
You are all awesome. 'Nuff said.
What do YOU do to avoid being hit on??
You should checkout on youtube Jenna Marbles, How to get a Guy to Ignore you or not talk to you or something, video is hilarious and her method actually works I have proof from my friends and I using it at the bar ;)
This is really great advice. I have found that wearing head phones never works though. Aside from not preventing people from hitting on you, it is also not great at preventing people from stopping you to ask for directions or beg for change. Maybe I need to add the sunglasses to the look.
I'm so mad, Simone. I've met you, and you are way cute! It's not just the smiling at guys/girls who you really don't want hitting on you. (I also smile when I'm terrified). You can not smile at these people!! I would offer taking the b*!ch approach, but then there's that whole group of people who just LOVE that. Oh well. You can't dial down the cuteness for weirdos. It's their problem. Great hub!
Ha ha,funny article which i cant just help than to laugh out.thanks for this great funny stuff,i really enjoyed it.
I hate to use the "F" word, but farting is also a really good way to keep people from approaching you EVER. My grandmother could fart a symphony and no one ever bothered her. I think she knew more about self defense than I realized while I was hiding somewhere.
Also speaking in tongues is a good defensive posture to assume. Act like you are insane and most people actually think that you are. Or pretend that you have just gotten out on an unexpected pass 'from the home'. No one wants to have much to do with you.
Very funny Simone - you are SUCH a wit! Voted up and FUNNY! Still laughing!
This is hylarious, Simone! Good luck with all this...I am lucky to have some bizarre genetic traits that assist me when strange eyes seem to be seeking me out.
Go Go, DNA!
I just pull my pants down and do a mr whippy on the floor whilst my eyes go cross eyed and then I say pleased to meet you!

The Oxford University Archaeological Society (OUAS) is a cross-collegial student-run society for those fascinated by the past and ways of uncovering it. Although the bulk of our membership comes from the university, we also have many members from the Oxfordshire region and beyond.
OUAS runs to provide those with an interest in archaeology a platform to share and learn about the subject. The society's three main activities are speaker events, social events, and excavations and excursions.
Throughout its existence, the OUAS has sought to provide a forum for discussing and learning about the past whilst meeting those with similar archaeological interests, as well as giving amateurs and trainees alike with the opportunity to partake in archaeological digs. Currently, OUAS is hoping to bring more excursions and excavation opportunities into its termly schedule to complement the great speaker events and social meetings it runs. The society is a strictly non-profit organisation, with committee members donating their time and energy to help others appreciate the wonders of exploring the past.
The society constitution can be found here.

The Marshmallow Test
Mastering Self-controlBook - 2014
"A child is presented with a marshmallow and given a choice: Eat this one now, or wait and enjoy two later. What will she do? And what are the implications for her behavior later in life? The world's leading expert on self-control, Walter Mischel has proven that the ability to delay gratification is critical for a successful life, predicting higher SAT scores, better social and cognitive functioning, a healthier lifestyle and a greater sense of self-worth. But is willpower prewired, or can it be taught? In The Marshmallow Test, Mischel explains how self-control can be mastered and applied to challenges in everyday life--from weight control to quitting smoking, overcoming heartbreak, making major decisions, and planning for retirement. With profound implications for the choices we make in parenting, education, public policy and self-care, The Marshmallow Test will change the way you think about who we are and what we can be"--

Utterly fascinating and worth reading twice. The author, however, seems unwilling to admit plainly the continuing relevance of operant conditioning.
Psychologist Walter Mischel, designer of the now famous "Marshmallow Test," says "the ability to delay gratification and resist temptations has been a fundamental challenge since the dawn of civilization."
Especially useful for parents and educators, this readable book shows how self-control predicts success in life. While the said self-control is more natural for some, the great news is that, with the current evidence of brain malleability, children can learn strategies to enhance their self-control, improving their quality of life both now and in the future.
