Ok, you all are probably wondering what this has to do with hair removal. Earlier last week I was browsing local and national websites regarding hair removal. Well one of them had a contest where you could win 3k dollars in sessions, so I signed up. They just called and told me I won a $300 certificate and in order to get it I need to come into their office. So I have an appointment for 9am tomorrow.

Congratulations, Honey!

To obad you didn't get the big prize, but you got SOMETHING!

Well, go and see what they say...can't hurt...but, don't sign up for anything while you are there...

See how they want to offer you the prize...cash or hair removal!

I'm in electrolysis and I'll tell you that $300 don't go very far!

Check it out, though...

Way to go!

The important part is don't sign up for anything - there should not be any additional sessions attached to the use of a prise - but read all of the fine print (take your microscope)

$300 won't go very far and they should just be counting on getting you started and then coming back when you have to pay for them yourself.

Congratulations on winning!

Love ya,

Sally

Thankyou for the suggestions Donna and Sally they are most appreciated. I half way thought it was some trick to get me in there, but I figured what the heck might as well go check it out.

Ok, I just got back from the consultation. I have to say everyone in there was exceptionaly nice to me and told me not to worry since about 45% of their clientelle is male wishing to do what I want or their back, chest and other body hair. I was pleased with their professionalism, friendlieness and the over all condition of the facility. Since the appoinment was scheduled for when they opened I did not see too many of their clients, but the few who came in were greeted on a first name basis. The company is a nationwide company, American Laser Centers, and they said their office here has been in business for over 11 years.

For 6 treatments of laser removal over a 6 month time frame and a 2 year satisfaction guaranteed program they want a total of $3300.00. However for the month of June all of their services and programs are 35% off and I need to use the $300.00 by then end of the week or it is gone. I was quoted $1950.00 for the program which includes my winnings and I am able to make $200 down payment with $292 due at each 6 of the appointments.

In my research, I have heard the average price for a session is between 300 to 400 or more. I am leaning towards going with them, partialy because it seems like a good deal, partialy because of they way they treat their customers, partly for the proffessionalism I saw and partly because I am extremely impulsive (my last ex hated the mall and Fredericks and Victoria Secrets, my two favorite stores...lol)

That works out to $325 a session and that is within your pricing information - you liked the place, they will let you make payments and you have the discount so it seems OK.

Love ya,

Sally

So this morning was the 1st of 6 treatments, they called me last night and asked if I could come in 15 minutes early for some paper work. I arrived promptly at 945 and barely sat down when they called my name, taking me to a nice little room in the back with a bed that was WAAAYYY too short, lol (I love being tall). She asked me a few more questions which were duplicates of ones in the medical questionare, like i am going to change my answers or something and proceeded to test a little area on my neck. Does this hurt? Can you feel this? All the way up to the highest setting where it was a bit of discomfort. Then she went to town, that is until I had her lower the setting when she got to my chin because it felt like I was nicking myself with a razor over and over :lol:

All in all I was in and out in less then 45 minutes and I was sooo happy when I left. The worse parts for me were my chin and upper lip. My next appointment is july 10th and I cant wait :P

Just a FYI from my laser girl..

Apparently top lip etc hurts where there is metal in your teeth behind. I can confirm this as I can taste my fillings afterwards.. especially my pair of large gold crowns.

It does get better.. it seems that a large amount of the pain is related to how many hair roots there are. Obviously I guess because those are the bits which get hot.

Face is one thing.. like a mix of an electric shock plus some heat like sunburn.. the surgical areas are fun.. wait and see ;)

What kind of laser are they using?

According to my paper work, they use their own Amerilight system which uses pulsed, high-intensity light combined with RF energy.

I do not have any metal in my front teeth, but there is some towards the rear. So far my face is feeling fine, but my eyes feel a bit like I got flashed when welding. She did say the lip and chin would hurt the most because that is where most of the hair roots are.

      Glad to be home and did go out for a walk this morning.Good thing is that went good.Still taking it easy

      It certainly could be classed as dark humor.  Unfortunately the sentiments alone must hurt young trans folks.  Decency and reality doesn't seem to be in the GOP's vocabulary.   Hugs,   Charlize

      Good morning all,    It’s a frosty morning here the lawn looks silvery, and the uncovered spring flowers have icy edges on their leaves. The only flower bed I covered was my tulips. As nice as it is here during the day, our clear wind free nights allow the temperatures to drop into the mid twenties. Here in our growing zone it’s recommended that you not plant delicate plants until Mother’s Day. Central Indiana can have snow as late as the third week of May. The birds are active at the feeders, I’ve had my cup of yoghurt and morning meds. So I’ll sit here, drink coffee and watch the as the sunrise chases the frost from the yard.    @awkward-yet-sweet I could eat black eyed peas as a side for every meal. Boil them plain or with fatback. Served as a leftover, just add in a little Rotel Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies.  Make the best of your day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Had a weird dream last night.
    • Mirrabooka
      Morning, y'all. Evening here; we had the regulation three mugs full today. Now it's time to drink something else.     No big plans here either, eldest daughter and granddaughter will be arriving on Saturday, and we will have our granddaughter to ourselves for a week after that. We still have plans though. Tuesday we'll go to the swim center, Wednesday we'll take a road trip to visit my mom, Thursday we'll get some mulch delivered to top up the gardens.   I still make other small plans on a daily basis though. The things I do plan nowadays, which is a bit new for me, is that after pinching a nerve and ending up in a bit of pain and getting some treatment from the physio, I am more motivated than ever to exercise more regularly. Tuesday for example, I went for a short (15 minute) early morning walk, went to the pool for some hydrotherapy, and mowed the lawns. Yesterday I did my exercise reps and spent some time on the exercise bike. Today, I went for a 45-minute walk, tomorrow I will do my reps again and go for a long bike ride. As long as I do at least one thing every day, right? The pleasing thing is that I'm losing weight! I blew out to above 95kg early in the year and I'm just under 91kg now. Yay me!

      What one piece of advice would you give to beginning transitioners or considering transition?
    • Heather Shay
      Positive side of the mixed bag.
    • Heather Shay
      Boredom is an emotional state that comes when a person has nothing to do, and is not interested in anything. To stop boredom, most people do something to occupy or amuse themselves. The first known use of the word boredom is in the novel Bleak House by Charles Dickens, written in 1852, but the saying to be a bore had been used to mean "to be tiresome or dull" since 1768. When referring to the mind, boredom is a bad state in which the person feels a deep lack of interest in what is going on around them, and where it is hard to focus.
