If it's wet, dry it.

If it's dry, wet it.

If they're on steroids, take them off.

If they're not on steroids, put them on steroids.

Unsurprisingly, I have figured this out! WHich is why I hate going to the dermatologist (although there is one here who is doing some sort of study on adult eczema and chronic itch, so I might try to see her).

Sophia, this may not be of help, but my aggressive itch went away by itself after about three months, and then my hair started falling out. All over.

I wouldn't mind some parts of my hair falling out, but not on my head!!!. It does sort of feel like my body is attacking my body! I think the dermatolgist is confused because I am fat, and there is some rash in skin folds. But there is just as much rash OUT of skin folds-- like on my face, hands and feet.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Just heard my husband saying to his headhunter, "I'd relocate if it was a really good job." I did not walk over to him and bop him on the head.

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

If that confuses him, *I* think you need a new dermatologist. Maybe one who's seen a fat person before.

btw, I must shill for Desitin ointment for diaper rash, and Gold Bond powder. I find these take care of problems caused by skin touching skin in humid environments (like the South, or one's pants, or one's pants in the South... I hate to sweat).

At least he used the singular?

The possible good thing about my itch/rash is that I practically have no pain- I think all my nerves are taken up with itch. My hip almost always hurts, and it hasn't hurt since the itch, and I didn't have cramps this month either!

How about "I'd relocate if it was a really good location."

Okay, I am trying to buy a dress for my brother's wedding, which is in October in Dallas, at an historic house event space-y place. The problem is I am really tall, and also, I discover, insanely fussy. Not a lot of places make dresses that fit me. Here are things I'm thinking about:

I know the tweed is not wedding-y, but I like the cut and the colors. There is also a tipped version in blue. [link]

Not loving the colorblock, but I love the blue. This is also wool, but maybe not as office-y looking? [link]

I feel like I ought to like this, but I sort of - don't. Also, none of the colors are good for me. [link]

Kinda meh on this one: [link]

Love the drape, but this is clearly not a wedding guest dress: [link]

Maybe too much bosom for me? [link]

Ditto. [link]

Thoughts?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I like the blue colorblock

I think the one with the scalloped neckline is the most wedding-y.

The blue is my favorite.
