I have to go in to work tomorrow. I am not happy about this.

Oof, sorry about all those of you who have to work the weekend!
I just went and (thanks to Groupon) had my very first laser hair removal. OUCH OUCH OUCH. I think that hurt worse than my tattoo.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Are the results worth the pain, meara?

I don't know yet, Cash! You have to go for five or six sessions (every 2-3 months, depending on where it is--apparently face/head hair grows quicker than the rest of the body?) before they'll guarantee no hair (the place I went gives you a year of "if you see a hair, come in and we'll do it free" after that).
So, give me a week or two--I'll be interested to see what happens--and then give me a few more sessions. But generally, it's something I've been considering a long time and never got around to doing (I figure I have great hair/skin for it--dark hair, pale skin). I'm excited at the thought of never having to shave again...but I think the price is way too much without a groupon.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I had it some years ago and can comment. It feels like a snapped rubber band; the pain will be less intense on subsequent sessions. I should say you shouldn't expect 100% removal. If you imagine each session removes about 30% of the hair, the diminishing returns make it too expensive to get them all removed.

I have issues with facial hair. mostly some that get ingrown very easily so I was considering this or electrolysis. Both are ouchy but I'd like good results.

Sounds like I wasn't the only person desperately trying to catch up on sleep yesterdat, despite the fact that I have a thousand things to do?
I COULD NOT face doing anything school related yesterday, since I have been working on school stuff for hours every night for two weeks, and have an all-day grading and planning and session ahead of me.

I figure I spent about 11 hours working on my school project -- or rather, getting to the point where I could, because I had to iron out a bunch of conceptual aspects to get a handle on what I have to do.
IOW, if the first project is to explore Africa, I first had to find Madagascar. In a rowboat. With a small paddle.
However, by the end of the marathon, I have a base camp established, with hovercraft, GPS satellite info, and I can see Africa from where I'm sitting, too.

Timelies all!
