I think what you are feeling is okay and somewhat natural, but when it starts interfering with your marriage - you will need to slow down these couple get togethers, and possibly stop.
When I say...

It would be cool if this thread still went to Opal's email and she could let us know what happened... hindsight is 20/20!

Well I've gotten quoted $500 for hair straightening(thermal rebonding). It's for the Japanese hair straightening technique and can range in price from $200(bargain) to $1000!
The question is how...

So basically you are saying, you know it won't work out - but are afraid to make a bad thing worse for him. Maybe in the back of your mind, you're thinking if he leaves in a month then u can just end...

No, I'm not muslim - but am aware of their culture from stories I hear from my parents as well as what I've seen. But I'm not going to get into that since you are aware of the life altering changes...

Wow Scaredgal, sorry you had to go through all that. But by sharing your experience, I hope that Judith can see what everyone has been saying happened indeed with you. Your whole outlook on life is...

I can tell you being from a different culture/religion myself that I am well aware of muslim cultures, traditions and upbringings. For the most part, in these countries kids are raised differently...

Try TendSkin it works wonders on ingrown hairs for men's shaving. You can find it anywhere online, be sure you are not allergic to aspirin.

Actually, the generalisation was made on your part stating muslim marriages last longer when they marry young- I was just stating why this is probably so compared to let's say the British(who have...

Also just remember in the 4 yrs u were separated, neither of you contacted each other. Another state means nothing with the invention of a phone. The love was gone or there were not enough feelings...

I agree. Sometimes we tend to see what we want to and label them as a soulmate. You were probably in a rut or routine where life got boring and predictable. Relationships go through this phase many...

I think at the age of 16, marriage should be the last thing on your mind. When I think about who I was "in love" with from that age to my early 20's, it would have been a hopeless situation if I...

Also military bases have Family Support Centers - you can contact them about your situation and they can counsel both sides. Like Chery said the First Sergeant is the best way to get things rolling....

Nice to know this one went well without any hitches! First broken bone at age of 40 huh? Well you know how brittle bones get in yer ole age...

Just wanted to say Happy Birthday RickJ at a wonderful age of 42... 2 yrs overdue of over the hill jokes I'm sure! It was nice of you to think of your mom and be born the day AFTER Valentine's...

The potassium in bananas are good for those nightly pregnancy cramps.

Maybe you can ask the emergency room doctor or the ambulance driver when you get there?

It doesn't matter who you buy it from, IT WON'T WORK. You may get clearer skin and a little bit brighter skin(due to vitamin C), but you will not get whiter skin.

Many dermatologists recommend Eucerin or Aquaphor for extra dry skin. Also Aveeno for daily moisturizing.

Pure Shea Butter is very rich and helps.

I use Hypercreme extra tone B. It comes in a large container and is a thick cream. The illumination fluid is more liquidy and works good too. I haven't tried the Otentika Skin tone Formula, but some...

I really don't think your son has the capacity now or in the forthcoming years to answer whether you should adopt. They are not capable of making such decisions of knowing what they really want at...

Your dermatologist allows you to use 6% hydroquinone for a year?? What skin condition do you have, that he/she is allowing this??

Not only is hydroquinone cytotoxic, but also prolonged use of...

Hi Fred - welcome back.
OUch - an electric razor under the arms would be extremely irritating for me and painful.

Shelah, what kind of razor do you use under your arms? This is the key to...

Hi Chuck,
I'm sure you will find various reasons or motives behind skin lightening. I think a lot of it is driven from culture. I'm originally from Pakistan and the "fairer" you are the more you are...

Thanks for the recommendation on State of Fear. Sounds interesting, I love books that can combine facts in a thriller format like many of Dan Brown books. I was in the library the other day, and...

One girl on the Yahoo group said Makari didn't really lighten her skin, but left some sort of film on her skin that made it appear light. It ended up making her undereyes look dark and raccoon like.

Deodorants have many irritants that cause darkening in our underarms. If you use natural one's from health food stores, it will help reduce darkening, but won't whiten. I used green tea underarm...

Pretty me, she is probably selling NAC - N-acetyl-cysteine which is an amino acid used to boost glutathione levels. It's a bit trickier than glutathione because NAC used long term can deplete zinc...

There has been a new uproar in monobenzone on all the boards lately. This is a prescription cream not to be taken lightly(pardon the pun).

This is a potent cream that which actually may cause...

Ya better to use alternatives to hydroquinone, since it's shown to be carcinogenic(toxic cancer causing) when used in high quantities. It should not be used more than 4 -6 months, but then you will...

About a month ago, they were airing on the news and newsshows that it was discovered the risk of SIDS can be reduced by as much as 50% for those infants sucking on a pacifier. This was quite a big...

I thought mascara had to be thrown out every 3 months?

I LOVE the smell of Nivea. It's so clean and the texture is really rich. I think it would be too thick for my facial skin. I wouldn't mind using it on my body. All my aunts always had it on their...

Yeah I'd like to know also where you buy this Ultra Glow cream, I've never heard of it.
I do know that if you want to lighten DON'T use Jergens Natural Glow because it has DHA, and that makes you...

That's real interesting about the milk of magnesia all over the face. I heard its good for spot treatments of pimples but never heard about it on the entire face. I'm afraid I would have horrid...

There are so many different types of magic creams floating around, half the distributors don't even know what's in it. I remember many insisted it had no HQ. Then one of the distributors in Hawaii...

I just did a search on Google and couldn't find much, but then found this contraption that gives jars an "inner seal". Here's the site: http://www.sks-bottle.com/InductionSealer-HowTo.html

They...

I don't remember a fancy word for it - I just call it a seal or a tab??

Fairglow soaps are good, it basically exfoliates the skin regularly. Godiva lightening soap is also pretty good(eventhough, I don't care too much for their lotions, the soap is decent).
Don't...

Aniki when you say bleaching creams are you talking about the ones that contain hydroquinone? Does this study include the natural creams that have ingredients like vitamins, fruit...

One more reason to add to Chery's for dark circles is allergies. If you suffer allergies including hay or food, the results will be in the dark circles. Many say once they take out dairy or...

The only reason you see a lot of praise for these magic creams is they've got hundreds of distributors that only have these forums and friends as a means to advertise. Many of those that keep hyping...

Digitally edited? Naaaaw, if you look closely the before picture is dark pantyhose! This teresssa place in Spain used to run an eye lightening scam also many years ago. Also, not much a professional...

I was just browsing Guesso website and came across this product... NutriClair Skin Lightening Lotion... that sounded very similar to Makari. Nutriclair claims to have "vegeclariner" but guess how...

I read that Jessica Simpson and Brittney Spears were on Accutane when they were promoting Proactive. Don't know if Britney promoted Proactive or not?? I like the Godiva Green Tea soap for acne.

OK acne scarring is a different issue, I thought u were wanting 2 use 2 get rid of acne

I can imagine the volume 20 would feel very itchy. I think I'll pass don't want to irritate or flare up my skin.

I have used TNS recovery complex and find it good for firming the skin rather than acne.

There's a product named skin white? :rolleyes: maybe I should change my id then :D

Hi socal,
That recipe with milk powder and volume 20 sounds really good. Did you notice results? How often have you done it?
