this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Because I often hem and haw and dawdle over decisions, I didn't just go ahead and order that blue dotted dress that I linked the other day. Until yesterday, when I went to buy it, since the link was still open in one of a billion tabs in Firefox.

OUT OF STOCK OH NOES.

But you can ask to be notified if/when it's back in stock. So I did, and resigned myself to finding a different dress for the wedding. This was yesterday.

This morning I got an e-mail that it's back in stock. You DAMN betcha that I ordered that shit right then and there. Plus, when you register on the site (eShakti. com), they give you a $20 credit to use within the next 7 days. So I got the awesome dress for $50!

I believe it ships from India, so my digits are crossed that it'll get here by May 27.

And now I gotta find shoes.

Thrive to spite them

I use the garlic method because the creams burn me. I haven't tried the prescription pill.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Plus? It keeps the vampires away...

Steph, that is awesome about the dress!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I am 12. The garilic tampon thing, which I had not heard of prior to reading this above, is cracking me up.

smonster, seriously? this works?

So, I am not sure if this is related to your issue, but the yeast infection treatments that are 1-time instead of the standard 7-day, burned me like a motherfucker the one and only time I did it.

Yeah, the last time I had this issue this happened to me. It was awful.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

We think one of the teenagers that live upstairs in the old place is having a baby. There was a blue balloon tied to the front of the house when we went to go get the rest of our stuff today. They are probably taking over our apartment downstairs after we move, which is why my former landlord was able to rent it without showing it. My former landlord is a moron. They already don't pay their rent and now he is going to rent them 2 apartments? So glad to be out of there!

Not smonster, but yeah it works for me. You have to carefully peel a clove of garlic (so it doesn't get nicked), wrap it in a cheese cloth, tie it up with some plain dental floss. I just do this over night and remove it in the morning.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

The prescription anti-yeast pill is Diflucan. I got it once and it worked quite well. The gyno who prescribed it to me said it worked because "it likes lady parts, so it goes right there." I don't know how true this is, but it was charming. I imagined tiny Diflucan warriors swarming to the defense of the lady parts. I prefer them to garlic warriors, but garlic would still be better than a raging yeast infection.

sj, so glad you're out of there and away from the moron landlord and the horrible neighbors! Owning a house can be a pain, but it beats having no control over your environment all the way.

sj, that's madness.

smonster, seriously? this works?

It definitely helps. I was using it for my last YI since I was broke, but StW took pity on me and got me a Diflucan prescription. I hate the creams and stuff.
