One possible hair loss solution
Robin
progesterone cream for PMS symptoms, but became lazy and stopped using
it. I mentioned to a friend of mine that much, much more of my hair is
falling out than ever before. Its disconcerting - especially becuase I
have fine/thin hair to begin with. She suggested it might be hormonal.
Don't know why I didn't figure that out myself (probably in denial), and
she suggested to start taking the Progesterone cream again to see if it
helped. It did. Within 3 days, the hair loss diminished by about 80%
of what it had been (evidenced previously by hair all over the bathroom
vanity, sink, bathroom floor). It's still a little less than a week
since I've started using it again, so hope to see even less hair loss in
time. Another side benefit - the progesterone has changed my complete
lack of sexual interest to....well - the opposite. Just my experience,
of course.

That's very interesting. I always understood hair loss to be related to
*estrogen* levels.

A *side benefit*? You call this a *side benefit*?
Wow. A magic elixir that stops hair loss and restores sex drive. You wouldn't
happen to be selling the stuff, would you? My apologies if you're simply a
satisfied user, but most of the people coming here making these kinds of claims
for natural progresterone cream turn out to have a financial interest in it, so
I'm sure you can understand my wariness.

Where does one buy this magic cream? How much does it cost?
And it works instantly? Did you count the hairs on your bathroom
floor to know that in three days it reduced hair loss by 80%.
This is amazing. What did your doctors tell you about your
alarming hair loss prior to your own discovery of this product?

are not short lived. My name is Robin Barr, I'm 48, a regular on

You're a real sweetheart, too, kiddo.
If you're a "regular" in another Usenet group, surely you know the
standard advice given to newcomers: Lurk a while and learn the customs of
a new group before barging right in.
One such custom here is a respect for sound science and a high degree of
skepticism for those who promise "cures" based on shaky evidence.
As for "coming out swinging," you actually got a much more civil reception
than we generally give to those who are overtly selling this particular
"cure" for menopausal ills.

You and me both, Pat. I spent yesterday taping windows, and today taping

to buy a sprayer to go with the electric air compressor, so no brush marks.
(My husband has a combination of tendonitis, carpal tunnel, and possible
arthritis--no "real" diagnosis on that part, but the doctor mentioned it as
a possibility--and the brush work would have caused severe pain for several
days. Plus it just takes longer.) Tomorrow I imagine I'll get the fun job

Oh, god, taping. I haven't even *started* taping. All those charming

See, now, I actually *like* the detail work. I'm a demon with a sash
brush. But a lot of it is going to have to be done up a ladder, and I
*hate* ladders.
It's not even like I'm actually "painting the house" this time around.
That will probably be done next summer, and if I can save the money, I'll
hire professionals. I'm just trying to take care of the necessary fixes so
I can get through the final inspections and close the deal on this place!
We won't even get into the astonishing amount of scrap wood - none of it
large enough for any good use - I have to clear out from under the front
porch ...

Hub is finishing up the painting on the outside of the house. He did most of it
two years ago. Two years ago,I had to hold the ladder while he went up 22 feet.
I did a lot of praying. Ladders scare the crap out of me....even though *I* am
not the one on the ladder.This time,he isn't doing much high work,except for
going up briefly on the roof in the near future. <shudder>

Oh, not me - re: sash brushes; wish I *were*. I envy people who can use a
sash brush & do a great job. I have to either tape everything, or just
paint - then scrape like crazy afterwards. And when I tape, the paint still
often manages to seep under there, anyways. Arghh. My windows are all 6
over 6, plus a set of French doors (20 lights), and another glazed door (15
lights), and a cute little built-in bookcase which is divided into 8 lights.
Oh yes, & the DR cupboard - another 13 panes. All aesthetic, IMO - I love
them, but... it was all pretty daunting when it came to painting them. My
entire house needed painting & papering when I moved in; nothing'd been done
for about 25 - 30 years. I remember sitting in the LR & being rather
overwhelmed by how much work had to be done, even though it was just
cosmetic. Otoh - I couldn't really complain, because that's how I was able
to afford it; other people took one look, saw that it wasn't in "move-in"
condition, & walked back out. Btw - I'm not too great on ladders, either -
I have a *lousy* sense of balance.

triming, painting, ladders, sprayers, and other tedious things.
Must be something in the air. I spent today trying to 'do something' with the
entry hall. Used a metallic glaze over wallpaper - the sample piece I did
turned out spendid! I've applied the first coat with vertical brush strokes.
After going through 4 'sponge' brushes on the first three walls, I switched to
a paint pad. Of course that worked beautifully and should have been used from
the beginning. Later tonight I will tape off alternate sections of the
wallpaper and brush on a horizontal coat of the glaze. On the sample piece this
produced a subtle cross hatch type of pattern that allowed the marble look of
the wallpaper to add depth. On the sample piece. I don't think that's what the
end result is going to be on the actual walls. I think the end result will be
stripping the painted wallpaper and repainting the walls in a nice bland white.
Haven't figured out how to do the stairway with the 10 foot wall - need
scaffolding. I am comfortable on a ladder (was just on the roof watching
fireworks), but there's no place to put it. And, of course, then we need to
paint the woodwork white as the stained wood doesn't look right with the silver
glaze. This, of course, leads to removing the front door for painting flat. Was
such a simple idea.
Do the sprayers work well? Do you get paint mist everywhere? Although if I do
everything white, what difference would it make! Wonder where I can rent one at
10:30pm on the fourth of July! I *am* comforted by the fact that I don't have
mullioned windows! At least I don't think I do. ;) Good luck to us all.

Hey, Eva, there are some new environmentally-benign paints that
might not trigger your allergies. I can't give you the information right
now because it's in my co-wife's newsletter and she has taken it away,
but I could find out if you liked. The paints only come in white and
off-white, but at least around here there's a hardware store that will
add any tint you want, and the manufacturers say the amount of
tint likely to be added won't make the paints any more toxic than
they are, which is essentially not at all.

Okay, I'm responding as a reminder to myself as much as anything.

That's the stuff. It's a pity about the price, though they do claim to get

Hub and I painted professionally years ago after the grant under which he was

There was one brand of paint neither of us could stand.The smell was

We liked Miller paint and found it to be the easiest to tolerate.

It sounds like a colicky newsfeed, but I don't know anything about
Outlook. I hope it clears up soon; that sounds much more frustrating
than what I've got.

No, because several of the other people whose messages I can't see
do use them. Well, okay, it could be set up that way but that wouldn't
be the only problem. I can look. They've got a little newsgroup just
for their newsreader, I just haven't gotten around to checking it.

I'm glad you mentioned this, because two posts I wrote & sent last night -
one about Annee's kitten & cat, and the other in this thread - both appear
to have disappeared into a black cyberspace hole. They *were* there last
night, but - poof! - gone today. Same thing happened to a post I sent last
night in another ng.

I saw your kitten post too. Huh, I wonder if it's still on my newsreader.
Hang on a moment -- whee. I can't find any unread messages at all.
Well, that's not much use. It does seem that a number of people
are having problems.
I always think I quote too much when I respond to a message, but
whenever I think about "cleaning up my act" something like this
happens and I realize extensive quoting can help somebody out.

But the Wilburys *are* "our music"! They just waited a while to get
together and record it!
(Fortunately, I have a good friend who's a music geek, and he keeps
forcing "new" music on me, or I'd have worn the grooves clear through my
vinyl by now! I was skeptical about the Wilburys, but one listen made me a

Boy, do I hear you on that one. I have two kids that delight in collecting
"covers" (what you and I call "inferior remakes") of -my- music.
I never enjoyed the Wilburys after Roy Orbison died, so I, too, much prefer
the Byrds version.

Nah, it's not your server -- things have been remarkably quiet all over
the 'Net since last weekend. I chalk it off to the height of the US
summer holiday season -- a lot people actually got up from their
computers and went outside to play, evidently. This is even true on a
couple of email lists I subscribe to -- one, which is normally very
busy, dwindled down to 3-4 posts all weekend.
My news feed is usually pretty reliable, and I'm seeing all the posts
other people mention missing -- and traffic here is *still* down to a
shadow of its normal busy self.

If you were, I was living down the hall.
I remember papering an entire bathroom with concert posters pulled off
telephone poles, slapped up with white glue and covered with many layers
of the same, a la decoupage. I've always wondered how the landlord ever
got *that* removed!
I think I told this to HomemakerJ, but in the clearing-out frenzy that
preceded my recent move, I had second thoughts about a large tube of
rolled-up, psychedelic '60s concert posters, and retrieved them from the
dumpster. Still pondering what to do with them -- I wonder if the local
historical museum is ready for '60s memorabilia yet?

Well, they're being sold on eBay and people do seem to snatch them
up. My co-wife is a Deadhead, but is too young to have seen the band's
origins, and she found a lot of sixties stuff while poking around for Dead
memorabilia.

I have to confess that this is one net.addict who utterly misses the charm
of ebay and similar on-line auctions. But I've never much liked "real
life" auctions, either.
The one thing ebay *is* cool for is looking up pictures of antiques and
stuff to use as models for making theatrical props.
'Sides, if I can talk the museum into them, then I can have visiting
rights. (-;

Dunno,but it seems like a no-brainer to me. Doesn't she throw herself off the
bridge at the end of the song? Can't think what else would cause her to do
that.

I may be nuts (and it's been a very long week), but does anybody else
remember an earlier, movie based on this song, starring the smarmy,
wet-eyed Robbie Benson? Wait a second ...
Yes!!! "Ode to Billy Joe," 1976, directed by Max Baer Jr. ("Jethro" of
"Beverly Hillbillies" fame ... oh, this gets better and better.)
Starring Benson and Glynnis O'Connor. In that version, Billy Joe's big
secret was
(spoiler space for those who hate having the plot blown when they watch
old movies on TV ...)
... that he had a homosexual encounter, subsequently tried to prove he
wasn't gay by sleeping with O'Connor, and then took the leap.
Mercy.
Thank heavens for the Internet Movie Database...although there's
something seriously bent in the "viewer review" section of this one,
which seems to combine a synposis of OTBJ with one for some Cold War
thriller ...

They would have had to give her some sort of screen credit, but I'll wager
that her -original- idea behind the song was something other than this.
After all, not too many screen adaptations follow the story line of the
original printed work faithfully.

Am scratching my head to figure how this relates to Ode to Billie Joe though.

I saw the movie Dr. Zhivago before I read the book. IMHO,the movie FAR exceeded
the Pasternak book. However,most times,I think the book out-performs the movie.
I try to read the book before seeing the movie.

"Dunno,but it seems like a no-brainer to me. Doesn't she throw herself off
the
bridge at the end of the song? Can't think what else would cause her to do
that."
In my area of the country, remarking that something is a "no-brainer" is
almost the same as saying, "Gee, this is as plain as the nose on your face.
Any fool could have figured this out. You must be slow-witted."
I don't believe my original post re "Ode to Billie Joe" was a question that
had a "no-brainer" answer. Clearly there has been some discussion about it,
and not just on this newsgroup. "Timothy" is another song that would appear
to have a "no-brainer" theme. You may be even more unfamiliar with it than
you were with "Ode to Billie Joe", but I was merely pointing out that
things, especially poetry, lyrics, and art will be interpreted different
