Scrappy - Wow. I hope that the second doctor is right.

Oh Lilty. That's horrible. He should have really suffered for that.

So, in today's episode of "Shit My Daughter Says That is Vaguely Insulting", she and I are going to write a book together and in it, she is going to "use her imagination" to make me a "beautiful woman".

I might need a makeover.

{{{Aims}}} You are gorgeous as always. I'm curious though, do you put yourself down in front of Em? Because I know I was pretty insulting to my mom when I was growing up, thinking she wasn't pretty, but if I look back on it it was because she was so often telling me how ugly she was. I was a kid, and I believed her.

{{{ChiKat}}} I'm sorry. I hope someone better comes along.

I think I gasped at every other post above this morning. I am speechless. Except for this:

Neosporin is a combination of three drugs: bacitracin, neomycin, and polymixin; I am violently allergic to polymixin.

okay, this is good to know. apparently someone needs to read labels.

Chikat, try to have a good weekend. You are good to be rid of the asshole.

Wow, I thought I had sensitive skin, but I'm good with neosporin and bandaids will occasionally make my skin a little red, but nothing like what was described above.

Hivemind advice please: Before I went away from my cousin's wedding I brought one of my trashy diva dresses to be altered because it was gaping under the arms a bit. Somehow the tailor ended up making it tighter in the waist where it certainly did not need to be tighter and even looser under the arms. So, do I take it back to the guy who screwed it up and make him fix it? Or do I take it to another tailor and pay more money to have it fixed, assuming the first guy really doesn't know what he is doing?

You need to ask for your $$ back from bad tailor and take it to a new tailor.

(edited to add the "r" in your so I didn't sound like Mr. T.)

I agree with le nubian.

That sounds like it would require a confrontation, which isn't really something I'm good at.

sj,

not a confrontation. just tell them: the alterations done were not what I wanted. Here are the two things wrong. I would like to take it to a different tailor. May I have my $$ back. Here is my receipt.

If you don't get the response you want or you feel uncomfortable, leave. It needn't be unpleasant, least of all for you who did nothing wrong.

This. Totally.

I get a hive-y reaction to Neosporin if I use it for too many days in a row, or on too large of an area (basically, cut on a finger = no problem; scrape the size of a mass-market paperback on my thigh = I'm gonna get hive-y).

And I totally have a problem with the adhesive on band-aids or even medical tape. After my back surgery, the incision healed great, but I got a bunch of tiny wounds running parallel to it from the tape that held the gauze on. (Again, I'm usually okay with a band-aid for a day or 2, especially on an area like my fingers, because they can take a beating. But on other areas, like my back, which never sees the light of day? Forget it. I'm a delicate goddamn flower.)
