I have read story after story of heartache, especially<BR/>from teens that endure heartless bullying from schoolmates. There are<BR/>so many different remedies and medications. What most people fail to<BR/>realise is that each individual has a different biological makeup and<BR/>what works for one person may not work for everyone. In some cases<BR/>certain acne treatment can adversely affect already irritated skin.<BR/>This further causes unnecessary embarrassment and frustration to an<BR/>already uncomfortable situation.<BR/>Propaganda fuels misconceptions about different so-called remedies and<BR/>even causes. The idea that chocolate and oily food causes acne. When in<BR/>truth, makeup, unhealthy skin and even perspiration can cause acne.<BR/>All of these factors affect the skin. But even your skin makeup can<BR/>affect your skin and create back acne, scalp acne, large assesses or<BR/>ingrown hair. There is an acne questionnaire done by a company called<BR/>Skinmed that will help to diagnose acne problems through a series of<BR/>questions, and then it n recommends the best acne treatment for each<BR/>individual.<BR/>Teen acne is typically the most difficult to diagnose because of<BR/>hormonal considerations, but there is a special area meant just for<BR/>teen acne that has a completely different set of rules when running the<BR/>formula that determines the best medications or treatments. In some<BR/>cases simple changes in hygiene and daily washing is all that it takes.<BR/>The site also has a title "free acne/rosacea cream" title="acne" <BR/><BR/>href="http://www.skinmed.co.uk" >free acne treatment/a that is made up<BR/>of a three step process. The primary reason most teens, especially boys<BR/>tend to have more problems with chronic acne is because of a lack of<BR/>simply washing their face regularly. So this treatment is free is a way<BR/>to create a healthy daily routine, while gently healing the skin to<BR/>prevent acne scarring brought on as a result of squeezing the sores.<BR/>Once daily cleaning is practices, and hormonal issues are taken into<BR/>consideration, a proper treatment regiment can be highly affective.<BR/>At the end of the day most acne, even teen acne , can be eliminated<BR/>quickly and permanently with the right motivation. After all, we all<BR/>want to be beautiful don’t we?<BR/>Susan SmithAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20636404.post-86389128435856463332007-07-24T22:09:00.000-04:002007-07-24T22:09:00.000-04:00This is a great commentary on parental coping mech...This is a great commentary on parental coping mechanisms.

Very funny about Manchester, Kentucky and relatives in the conjugal bed.<BR/><BR/>I have a story to share. Years ago, a former friend was the producer of the Barbara Walters show. One of the funniest stories she ever told was about the Walters interview with Dolly Parton. <BR/><BR/>In the middle of it, Walters looks at Parton and says, "When did you first have sex?"<BR/><BR/>Parton looks right back at her and asks, "You mean with someone other than uncles and cousins?" <BR/><BR/>My friend said it was the first time she'd ever seen Walters speechless.<BR/><BR/>Of course, Parton was kidding but she's always been far smarter than people give her credit for.sbwriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05881627992105939490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20636404.post-36150964599069395052007-06-26T13:54:00.000-04:002007-06-26T13:54:00.000-04:00Good stuff, Dootz.

I might have given the guy the six bucks but I would have balked at the second ask. <BR/><BR/>Last week when a friend and I were having coffee, a woman came up to us and asked for $60 to pay for a tow truck for a car (which we never saw.) <BR/><BR/>I said, "I just started working again. I was sick for five months. I'm sorry I can't help you!"<BR/><BR/>She was mightily pissed at me and I felt the same about her. She huffed off, and a few minutes later approached a guy down the street who was driving a new BMW. Last thing I saw was the guy peeling off a bunch of bills!<BR/><BR/>I don't mind helping someone out but I don't like to be asked for a specified amount nor do I like feeling that the whole thing is a scam.<BR/><BR/>But that's just me. <BR/><BR/>Susansbwriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05881627992105939490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20636404.post-31031514927360062652007-06-13T21:19:00.000-04:002007-06-13T21:19:00.000-04:00Dootz,Great piece!

I wanted to end my life, but somehow [Holy Spirit], I reached out to a friend who took me to hospital. I had three visits [hospital] in four months – I actually thought I was in hell. I imagine I was going through some sort of metamorphosis [mental, physical & spiritual]. I had been seeing a therapist [1994] on a regular basis, up until this point in time. I actually thought I would be locked away – but the hospital staff was very supportive [I had no control over my process]. I was released from hospital 16th September 1994, but my fear, pain & shame had only subsided a little. I remember this particular morning waking up [home] & my process would start up again [fear, pain, & shame]. No one could help me, not even my therapist [I was terrified]. I asked Jesus Christ to have mercy on me & forgive me my sins. Slowly, all my fear has dissipated & I believe Jesus delivered me from my “psychological prison.” I am a practicing Catholic & the Holy Spirit is my friend & strength; every day since then has been a joy & blessing. I deserve to go to hell for the life I have led, but Jesus through His sacrifice on the cross, delivered me from my inequities. John 3: 8, John 15: 26, are verses I can relate to, organically. He’s a real person who is with me all the time. I have so much joy & peace in my life, today, after a childhood spent in orphanages [England & Australia]. God LOVES me so much. Fear, pain, & shame, are no longer my constant companions. I just wanted to share my experience with you [Luke 8: 16 – 17].<BR/><BR/>Peace Be With You<BR/>MickyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07940745178193985942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20636404.post-92148230894593041142007-06-09T00:08:00.000-04:002007-06-09T00:08:00.000-04:00I was 39 when I gave birth to our one and only chi...I was 39 when I gave birth to our one and only child--who will turn 18 years old on Monday. Although my pregnancy was great, his birth was really difficult. I was in labor for 36 hours. <BR/><BR/>Toward the end, I looked my age and then some. I was exhausted when Alex finally arrived. My husband was worried about me. <BR/><BR/>However, through the haze, I heard them asking him if he wanted to cut the umbilical chord. In our Lamaze class, my husband had told me he didn't want to and I know he gets faint seeing blood. <BR/><BR/>Although I was ready to pass out at this point, my husband said that the minute the doctor asked him about the chord, I sat up and said in a very forceful voice, "No, he doesn't want to," and then fell asleep.<BR/><BR/>Susansbwriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05881627992105939490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20636404.post-14878877676153073942007-06-09T00:00:00.000-04:002007-06-09T00:00:00.000-04:00Not being a WASP, I can't relate although I can st...Not being a WASP, I can't relate although I can still be mightily amused!<BR/><BR/>Susansbwriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05881627992105939490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20636404.post-440438056298230872007-06-08T23:58:00.000-04:002007-06-08T23:58:00.000-04:00Dootz,I like this essay a lot.
