Well, jo, there is that procedure to take a$$-fat out via syringe and inject it into facial creases. (Some of you might have seen the same thing I did some years ago, when Geraldo Rivera had this done on t.v.) I guess if you can stand the jokes about it, it worked o.k.0

Jo and elilmar Dr. Khouri in Miami does it to build new boobs so why not the face too.

But back to the original question...is there anything short of plastic surgery or injections that can really combat facial wrinkles?

Mind you I am asking that as I head out to the deck to absord some natural Vit. D., but my face and chest have sunscreen on. Want the sun's benefit, but not the wrinkles.

elimar don't know of any but I don't really have wrinkles yet. I have really good genes. My mother was a smoker for about 20 years and even with that never had wrinkles until she hit 70. A few little lines but not what I would call wrinkles.

Well E, my best friend works for a Dermatologist and for deeper lines it is filler only. However, micro-dermabrasions and Glycolic peels are awesome in that they generate some collagen and give a glowing complexion and there is no downtime or discomfort. People ususally tell me that I look younger and "have great skin". It is time for me to have upper lid surgery though because my eyes make me look very tired! I always wanted a face-lift when I got older but now I have to save that money for breast's, not how I ever thought I would spend my secret stash (:0

I am heading out soon to go visit my youngest son and family. A long 5 hour drive to get there. Texas is just way to big. I'll post my picture on Saturday.

I'm home and resting DH is taking very good care of me.
Loved the first Footlose but not sure about a remake. Kevin Bacon is in the X Men First class as the bad guy. Kind a creeped me out though. I am looking forward to Cars2.0 -

Love the lightning bugs. It brings back so many memories. All the nights spent catching them and finding a container for them. I dont know how many spankings I got for poking holes in my moms tupperware lids, lol. Also will save some of the gore details on some of the stuff the poor things meet at our hands.
MJB its good to see ya home and resting. Take care!

MJB, take a well-deserved nap today and know that we are all pulling for you. How do you feel today??? Relieved?

My brother moved to PA a couple of years ago and that was the first time my SIL saw lightning bugs. It was neat seeing the amazement on her face.
It was such a fun and carefree time when we were younger - summer nights staying out late, collecting lightning bugs at dusk and playing kick the can late into the night. There were 5 kids in my family and 6 across the street all in the same age groups - we had so much fun.

Reesie those were the days. Our block had tons of kids too. Our fav was flashlight tag.

I remember in high school the one son in the family across the street had a crush on me (he was 1 year older) and kept trying to hide with me when we played flashlight tag. I used to spend more time trying to hide from him than whoever was "it" LOL

The dusk as night fell, the grass cooled off. You could hear cats sqabbling that horrendous sound as if their guts were being ripped out. In the distance a dog barked and another answered. Street lights came on slowly, growing brighter as the darkness deepened. The pavement was still warm, but the sidewalks cooled quickly. You reached a point where you needed a sweater but didn't want to break the magic spell of watching night arrange itself around the houses in your neighbourhood....
...ah, the good ole days....sigh.

Glad you enjoyed the pic. We calls 'em fireflies around here. I did not grow up with them, but my kids did. I think for that reason I still enjoy their twinkliness every night, while my kids no longer take notice. They are in my backyard right now and we usually have them for 4-6 weeks, then they seem to have a shift change with the cicadas.
Yes, my kids caught a good number of them over the years, usually in a jar with some holes poked in the metal lid. Everytime we thought we poked the holes small enough, we always had a few that could escape onto the bedroom walls by morning. Since we were strictly a catch and release operation, they only had to spend one night in captivity.

I have a lot of fireflies/lightning bugs in my yards, front and back. So lovely and peaceful to watch. I sometimes spend hours just watching.

We don't have fireflies here but I've been around them when visiting family in Oklahoma! They are so cool!

When we got to DS last night we were sitting outdid and I noticed all the lighting bugs. DS just built a new deck with a tiki hut bar. It is so nice he lives on a spring feed river. In west texas nights are dry and cool so much nicer than south Texas. Am currently sitting in the ER with DIL her mom got really sick with a bad stomach bug last night. Waiting to get her in a room and then we r heading to the store. She should come hm tomorrow

Good day ladies doing great today, had some lovely fruit and sandwich for lunch. Nice rest too.
Growing up in Kansas saw a lot of fireflies. My DS has seen a few in our area since it is a new development. He had a lot of buds growing up in the neighborhood playing freeze tag. During the summers saw a lot kids running around. Now their getting their drivers license.0 -
Funny, I saw my first lightning bug of the the summer last night. Love to see them, but they favor a particular tree and when I mow they are not as fun as at night! As a kid, we also collected locust shells off the trees (gross huh!) or wear them like jewelry on our clothes. HA! But 90 miles west we don't have many of them. I miss that lulling buzz in the evening. What I do have now are the UP trains going by, just a few blocks away. When I first got married I thought I would never sleep because of the constant whistle (we have 75-90 trains go through daily/nightly), but now I don't even hear them.

I miss lightning bugs--we don't have them down here in Florida. We do have love bugs. Not the same. ICK.. Twice a year for about 3 weeks at a time, these silly bugs fly around really slow in full mating position. Attached. To each other. Love explaining that one to the kids! They mate and then they die. that is after they have plastered everyones cars with their lovestruct bodies. Yep, I'll take lightning bugs any ol' day!!

Sherry I hope your DILs mom is feeling better.
DH just went back to firefighting after taking a leave of absence for a couple of months to take care of me (he and my three kids are volunteers). The just got back from a call and it was funny listening to my DD lecture him because he skipped a call the other day (it was at 3:30 am).
Turns out on top of having to deal with her brother driving the engine (which of course she hates) the only other person that showed up was a probie so she got to be the officer in charge and the probie ( who happens to be my age) didn't listen to her. She reported him to her chief but then gave her Dad a good dressing down about skipping calls lol.0 -
love lightening bugs as kids they are so much fun!!

Huskerkkc, you would have had a blast around here this month with all the cicadas around here. Thousands of them. The noise was mind numbimg. You would have really hit the jewelery department for sure. They were the 13 yr ones, so they had to get busy and get there freak on so the could lay their eggs so in 13 yrs they can come back. I will take the lightning bugs anyday.

I'm with you Paula66. Mind numbing is a good word for the cicada sound, and I don't need anything else hampering my mind, really i don't.0

Hey Middies, I know most of you circulate around the threads on here like I do. Well, I have found one new thread, in particular, where it is a young girl of 26 who could use some support and understanding about her mom's condition. The mom made a decision and the daughter is standing by that. It a little more uncommon than most of the instances on here. I have offered a few comments and directed her to check out the Stage IV forum also.
This is a woman who would never make her way onto the thread here, but you gals are so caring (and some of you a lot more huggy than I am) that I wanted to bring it to your attention. If any of you care to reach out, I am putting the link right here.
