Up until a few months ago, I think I felt that the baby-boomer chase for eternal youth was a silly ego thing.  I’ve been letting my hair go gray; I’m one of the lucky ones whose complexion looks good with the “salt and pepper” look.  But recently I’ve noticed that my upper eyelids are drooping a lot, and I don’t like it one single bit!  They didn’t used to do that, so I have to assume that it is an age-related condition.  I’ve started to use special eyelid serum that is supposed to “lift” them without the need for surgery, but to be honest I really haven’t noticed much improvement.  I wonder how long it is supposed to take before I notice an improvement!  And I wonder if I DO notice an improvement if it will all be imagined because I WANT to see an improvement?

My cousin Sara sent me an email this morning, telling me that she is looking at having a tummy tuck done.  She sent me the link to the website of the company she is thinking about using: tummy tuck UK.  I went to the website to check it out.  It is to the MYA Clinic; they have over 25 years of cosmetic surgery experience.  I was glad to learn that!  Experience is important!  I was reading about the tummy tuck procedures that they do – a partial and a full.  I was surprised to learn that in a full tummy tuck they remove the navel and then create a new one!  How interesting!

Have you ever had people come to you asking for your advice on how to handle a situation that they are struggling with, then find out they did not take the advice and had bad results, and then they back to you complaining that their situation has worsened and ask you for more advice?  That happens to me a lot!  And believe me, it gets tiring because you KNOW that if they followed your advice in the first place the problem would have been solved, not worsened!  So when they come back the second time begging for advice I’m not really sure how to respond!  I rather feel like I’m hitting my head against the wall sometimes!  I find it hard to NOT scold them for ignoring the first advice!  How do YOU handle situations like this?
