Nice people thread part 8 - worth the wait

Dh took some photos of me with straight hair. I never like photos anyway, but the upshot of these is I will be seeing an aesthetic doctor I know very soon for advise about dermal fillers or Botox. I am not even thirty five yet. You'd think fat would pad put lines, but my frown crease is there, but not for long......my mother always looked younger than she is (althugh she starting getting cosmetic help a couple of years ago) and so does sibling look young for age. I feel like I have let the side down.

Without wishing to hypothetically suggest that the hypothetical emailee is not hypothetically alluring, I expect (on the basis that I know quite a few idiots who think they are "players" - hypothetically, of course) that this is not the first time that the hypothetical emailer has done this and that they may do this every time they come across a single girl to see if, hypothetically, they are "up for it". Expect it will end messily for the hypothetical emailer happens to be that sort of person (hypothetically).

Hypothetical emailee under no illusion that they are so irresistible as to be the first/ last, although emailer doesn't come across as a player. Doesn't know the OH. Nothing actually happened, so wouldn't seek to cause trouble...? Also feels bad about this as less sure about what is the right thing to do as opposed to what gives a quiet life.

Or alternatively accept that those who matter are not those who judge you on your appearance outside.

Hypothetical emailee might care to remember I pointed out her allure in the past. That she doesn't seem conscious of it is probably a huge part of it. And part of the reason xxxxs might be drawn to her along with truly wonderful genuine men.

The right thing to do here is to not get backed into a corner and accept these things happen to pretty, charming, intelligent and unpretentious emailees.

Precisely. I, for instance, receive about 10 emails of this type a week. Water off a duck's back these days.

I'm worried that drug companies find it easier (and much much cheaper) to market drugs than develop genuinely new better ones at greater expense. They'd love it if we knew zidovudine as AZT or diazepam as Valium. Which more-or-less happens.

I'm hearing generally good things about that 5+2 diet. The key is how seriously you fast on the two days. Seems to be genuinely good at keeping diabetes at bay for example.:beer:

Think I have mentioned, but my blood pressure is 'normal' for the first time in years (though also doing more proper exercise). A couple of aches and pains are better too.

I am argues sing that's me not nikkster?




I feel such tenuous grip on who I thought I was these days that I think this is for me. It's a speck in the ocean of what is wrong with the way I look, but its something I can do something about. It's a control thing.

Btw, zag, five two diet I have been chuffed with, definitely losing 'size' but weighed myself and have actually put on weight. Whether its slowing down the inevitable, or whether its fluid or what I don't know.

In any case, I feel ok on it, and that's health wise, important too.

Also think I read something recently about people developing antibodies to botox so effects not lasting?
