crazyforlatin started following Well-trained bodies - November , Kareni - iHerb? , medications for osteopenia? and 5 others

Not Kareni, but I’m familiar enough with iHerb. There’s a drop down menu of countries on the us website. I’ve done it once to Taiwan some time ago. Some of the more common countries where customers ship to are near the top of the drop down menu, and Korea is one of them. I usually order from the app on my phone.

I don’t even sandwich the tret - I usually use it as the first step if I’m in a rush. With age comes some resilience. I use .14 and get it from Agency. I did read that copper peptides are fine with tret but not fine with vitamin c.
-
I’m also needing to use up my copper peptides from niod. I should use it up in my neck. I bought the niod one last November due to the sale and I’m still trying to use it up. I tend to reach for tret rather than other actives. What strength of tret do you use for your neck? Actually I should use up the tube that dd doesn’t use now. It's lowest strength and it’s for her acne, but I think her acne became worse due to purging. I think it’s a .05%.

Another poster mentioned tretinoin, and it might be too intense for the neck area for most people. I’m able to use it for only a couple of days. You could try it at the lowest strength. You can always mix it with moisturizer. To me it’s not worth the irritation later on, but mine is usually at the highest strength. I use tret to keep my pores from clogging, not really for wrinkles. Ordinary has a retinol that has been fine for my neck - no irritation - but I just started it so can’t say whether it’s working. It’s definitely going to be a slower progression than tretinoin. https://theordinary.com/en-us/retinal-02-emulsion-100646.html?dwvar_100646_size=15ml&quantity=1&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAl4a6BhBqEiwAqvrqumhd3lvNPjYV9uFh4cAvnV7mTk7FJHUSFSYNVAr7sinKQIViXkJlsxoCJn8QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds If you want temporary (maybe with longer use it could work long term) and somewhat instant blurring of the neck area, drmtly has this neck serum with a roller. I don’t like the film on my neck but I may have been rolling way too much serum as it was cold here, and the serum wouldn’t come out initially. https://www.drmtlgy.com/products/neck-contouring-serum?_pos=1&_sid=81d180fc2&_ss=r As much as I want to fix my one deep neck line, I always forget to bring down the serums and moisturizer down to my neck. I’ve seen red light therapy led neck masks, but I haven’t tried it yet. What are you using on your face that you are not using on your neck?

Not the person you were asking, but I have the bee set from Liberty though I was so tempted to get the skull set, and I still might as I need more of the smaller spoons. So skulls and bees.

Dd19 will be getting white go-go boots - I just need to find them.

Like @KungFuPanda I had to get portable AC during the summer because the central AC cost was getting too high. There was a week of 113 degrees and it was not much better before or after that week. I bought 4 different rolling ones, all requiring water (all came with prefilled ice packs for even cooler air). I didn’t turn on the central AC, closed the windows, and turned on these portable ACs, and we were only hovering at about 80 degrees in the house. Dyson 12 to replace Dyson 10 which was running low on battery and was too heavy compared to the 12. The neat part is that as I’m vacuuming I see the floors covered in dog hair that I can’t see without their fluorescent light. Dyson 10 doesn’t have that. It could be good or bad depending. Huskies truly know no limits when shedding.

Always love looking at pictures here. I’ve got a weighted vest a few days ago and have been using it while walking my dog. It does get hot so even though the weather is much cooler, I just need a shirt and the vest.

Thank you! I’m saying an email to the landowner’s agent. -
FL question: My friend is buying land
crazyforlatin replied to crazyforlatin's topic in The Chat Board
He says he’ll do it all on his own. I don’t know enough about sewage lines to give him an approx cost. But I’ll bring it up again, I didn’t know it was that costly. His friend calls me leaves messages but won’t call DH back. He thinks it’ll be easier to talk to me. Based on public records the land was bought for $9400 in August, probably in auction given the price, and he’s selling it at a “discount” for $27k. His message to me is that he reduced it by $9000. Looking at Redfin it could be worth $27k given the half acre land. I don’t blame the pastor for trying to make a profit as he needs income to travel around the country preaching at different churches, but I wish he wouldn’t target an octogenarian. He’s claiming he’s doing him a favor. -

We don’t expect it to be paid back, unless he sells his house one day. -

His sister had dementia. But he’s able to act well and kind to people at church, but switches when he’s with me. So he’s in control of his temper. -

Since I can’t call any govt agency today, I might as well ask here. It’s Rainbow Park, Ocala. There’s a parcel of land with lot and block, legal description of the land. It looks like it’s been divided since there is lot and block for this particular land for sale. Is that correct? To clarify, no mobile home on the land for sale, but the seller will sell one of his and help him move it over. Dh and I are lending him the money for now, and given my friend’s age and his change in personality recently (possibly early dementia but then sometimes his memory of the old days is clearer than mine), we can’t stall that long. He’s not the same even tempered man; he can be extremely mean often using his faith against me in particular. And I was recently dx with a recurrence and he claims God punishes Christians with cancer when they are no good. Well, I’ve gotten over it by now since I attribute it to old age. He’s been in our lives since I was 3 yo so I can’t just say no and can only look into the property and let him decide based on what I find out tomorrow. If anyone remembers he’s the same man who has 17 dogs and cats. He thinks they need land to roam but they are overall fine in SF right now.
