My friend who is having bariatric surgery tells me that afterwards she will never be able to eat cake again.

Not even a smidgen.

Not a crumb.

NEVER.

Ever.

I am very sad for her. This sounds trivial, but sincerely, that's got to be a tough decision to make, and to make it knowing her future is entirely cakeless, rather than just severely cake-restricted shows her dedication, if you ask me. I hope it goes well for her, and assists her in meeting her goals.

I know someone that had it and can manage a VERY TINY piece once in a while. But if she eats more than that, sugar dumping occurs and it makes her very sick. When I went to a wedding with her, though, she opted for a few glasses of wine over the wedding cake.

Wrinkle releaser. Wonderful product. Not good for seriously, been wadded up in a ball in the back of my closet kind of wrinkles, but works fabulously for light to moderate wrinkling.

What is this iron of which you speak?

Not the least bit surprised that Fay's profile is charming and funny and delightful. If you were in the ghost-profile-writing game, Fay, you'd have everyone matched up in no time.

Jilli, stop proselytizing at me!

Chi, I was a serious devotee of Downy Wrinkle Releaser, but I can never find in my supermarket these days. It's been at least a year. I will look, again. That was perfect for the kind of smoothing most of my everyday stuff needs.

I think Trudy or someone said you can make your own with fabric softener and water, but I've always been afraid it would spot the fabric.

I know Target carries it. That's where I buy it.

Hmmm....I may need to try that when I run out of my current bottle.

Meep!

Nice bi TEFL living-in-Korea girl whom I'd added to my list of Favourites just contacted me thus:

Hi,

I read your profile and thought you seem like an interesting person. Also, we seem to have lots in common - Buffy :)

I thought you should know, my membership expires soon so here's my email:

...and the wretched service has deleted the email address that she sent. And I can't reply unless I purchase a subscription. Which I can't do, because I don't have a bank card or any of those normal things any more.

Clearly she is a Good Egg, with the Buffy liking.

Damn. Damn. Damn.

shakes tiny fist

Love Fay's profile.

No cake ever again would be a hard prospect to look down the barrel of. Not even something cake like sweetened with fruit juice?

I have an iron. My husband occasionally uses it. I honestly don't think I ever have. Partially because I don't have an ironing board, but mostly because I don't like to iron. much more than I don't like wrinkles.
