I am in Diplomat withdrawal.

You know, we've been seeing each other since January 2001. However, neither of us can get out children out of high school for almost 2 years. So, until then, there are no decisions to make. It is as it is. His employer does have an office in my city. But, no positions near his level. Nothing related to financial planning & analysis. Stuff here is more related to sales and service of their systems (fire & safety systems for commercial/industrial facilities such as restaurants/schools/hospitals/office buildings). My employer has my type stuff just about exclusively in my city.

I have a 'joke' about one of the goddessy things we do, but it may just violate TOS, I am not sure.

What to do??
Do I post it and accept the potential telling off, or send it to someone for a second opinion first???

This is prolly not true, but it is funny smile

All hair removal methods have tricked women with their promises of
Easy, painless removal ** The Epilady, scissors, razors, Nair and now...the "Wax".
Read on......btw don't drink anything while reading this!

My night began as any other normal weeknight.

Come home, fix dinner, play with the kids.

I then had the thought that would ring painfully in my mind for the Next few hours.

"Maybe should pull the waxing kit out of the medicine cabinet.
So I headed to the site of my demise: the bathroom.
It was one of those "cold wax" kits.
No melting a clump of hot wax, you just rub the strips together in your Hand, they get warm and you peel them apart and press them to your leg (or wherever else) and you pull the hair right off.
No muss, no fuss.
How hard can it be?I mean, I'm not a genius, but I am mechanically inclined Enough to Figure this out. (YA THINK!?!)
So I pull one of the thin strips out.
Its two strips facing each other stuck together.
Instead of rubbing them together, my genius kicks in so I get out the Hair dryer and heat it to 1000 degrees. ("Cold wax,"yeah...right!)I lay the Strip across my thigh.
Hold the skin around it tight and pull.
It works! OK, so it wasn't the best feeling, but it wasn't too bad.
I can do this!
Hair removal no longer eludes me !
I am She-rah, fighter of all wayward body hair and maker of smooth skin Extraordinaire.
With my next wax strip I move north.
After checking on the kids, I sneak back into the bathroom, for the Ultimate hair fighting championship.
I drop my panties and place one foot on the toilet.
Using the same procedure, I apply the wax strip across the right side Of my bikini line, covering the right half of my hoo-ha and stretching Down to the inside of my butt cheek (it was a long strip)
I inhale deeply and brace myself....RRRRRRIIIIPPP!!!!**

I'm blind!!! Blinded from pain!!!!....
OH MY GAWD!!!!!!!!!
Vision returning, I notice that I've only managed to pull off half the Strip.
CR*P!
Another deep breath and RIPP! Everything is spinning and spotted.
I think I may pass out...must stay conscious...must stay conscious.
Do I hear crashing drums???
Breathe, breathe...........
OK, back to normal.
I want to see my trophy, a wax-covered strip, the one that has caused me so Much pain, with my hairy pelt sticking to it.
I want to revel in the glory that is my triumph over body hair.
I hold up the strip!
There's no hair on it. Where is the hair???
WHERE IS THE WAX???
Slowly I ease my head down, foot still perched on the toilet.
I see the hair.
The hair that should be on the strip...it's not!
I touch.
I am touching wax.
I run my fingers over the most sensitive part of my body, which is now Covered in cold wax and matted hair.
Then I make the next BIG mistake...remember my foot is still propped Upon the toilet?**

I know I need to do something.
So I put my foot down.
Sealed shut!
My butt is sealed shut.
Sealed shut!
I penguin walk around the bathroom trying to figure out what to do and Think to myself, "Please don't let me get the urge to poop.
My head may pop off!
What can I do to melt the wax?
Hot water!! Hot water melts wax!!
I'll run the hottest water I can stand into the bathtub, get in,
Immerse the wax-covered bits and the wax should melt and I can gently wipe it Off, right???
WRONG!!!!!!!
I get in the tub -
The water is slightly hotter than that used to torture prisoners of war Or sterilize surgical equipment - I sit.
Now, the only thing worse t han having your nether regions glued
Together, is having them glued together and then glued to the bottom of the Tub...in scalding hot water. Which, by the way, doesn't melt cold wax.
So, now I'm stuck to the bottom of the tub as though I had cemented Myself to the porcelain!!
God bless the man who had convinced me a few months ago to have a phone Put in the bathroom!!!!!

I call my friend, thinking surely she has waxed before and has some Secret of how to get me undone.
It's a very good conversation starter "So, my butt and hoo-ha are glued Together to the bottom of the tub!"
There is a slight pause.
She doesn't know any secret tricks for removal but she does try to hide her laughter from me.
She wants to know exactly where the wax is located, "Are we talking cheeks or hole or hoo-ha?"
She's laughing out loud by now...I can hear her.I give her the rundown and she suggests I call the number on the side
of the box.YEAH!!!!! Right!!
I should be the joke of someone else's night.
While we go through various solutions.
I resort to trying to scrape the wax off with a razor.
Nothing feels better than to have your girlie goodies covered in hot wax, glued shut, stuck to the tub in super hot water and then
dry-shaving the sticky wax off!!
By now the brain is not working, dignity has taken a major hike and I'm pretty sure I'm going to need Post-Traumatic Stress counseling for this event.
My friend is still talking with me when I finally see my saving
grace....the lotion they give you to remove the excess wax.
What do I really have to lose at this point?
I rub some on and OH MY STARS!!!!!!!
The scream probably woke the kids and scared the dickens out of my friend.
It's sooo painful, but I really don't care.
"IT WORKS!!...
I get a hearty congratulation from my friend and she hangs up.
I successfully remove the remainder of the wax and then notice to my grief and despair....
THE HAIR IS STILL THERE........ALL OF IT!

So I recklessly shave it off.Heck, I'm numb by now. Nothing hurts. I could have amputated my own leg at this point.

Next week I plan to color my own hair

oh. my. Gawd.

It's 2:36 a.m., this morning we moved out of (yet another) house and have driven all day, including a border crossing requiring applying for a work visa, we're in a tiny hotel room, H and the kids are(were?) asleep and I'm shaking the bed with silent laughter at this point:

As I continue reading the laughter turns to not-so-silent giggles and tears are in my eyes... just when I think it can't get funnier it does... I'm sure H is awake now.

That's the funniest thing I've read all year.


me - 47 tired
H - 39 cool

Things You DON'T Say To Your Wife

If any man ever says any of this stuff to you, your reaction would be considered justifiable homicide. I'll even serve as a character witness on your behalf.

umm...
well....
ahem!

(most of that was just space filler smile )
so thinking of the 'joke' I posted...
what sort of other alternatives are there to shaving, or waxing?
Keep in mind that some products are NOT international.

Have a tuft issue I need to resolve.

cream depilatories...but, if a potion will eat the hair off your body, do you really want to spread it on your skin?
