Not to mention in my profession, we are going on strike this week.  It's a very stressful time for many people.  I believe in what we are fighting for, and I'm fortunate to have another job that I can do while we wait it out.  Honestly, our gov't doesn't seem to value public education in the slightest.  It's very sad - the things that you see happening to children every day and how they are struggling (as are their parents usually too!).  The fight for smaller classes and a more balanced class composition has been going on for so, so long now (years and years).  Sometimes I have doubts about my profession (not in what we stand for - more about "What am I getting myself into?") and if I have what it takes to get involved in what seems like a losing fight.  I am considering changing professions and moving into something more 'easy' or straight forward.  The gov't seems hell bent on cutting and cutting public sectors and bleeding them dry.  I'm not sure how much longer it can go on before it collapses on itself.  I feel like our gov't is wanting to creating a two tiered education system so that parents will have to either put their children in private or public schools - and by that time, public schools will be so run down, parents will be fighting for spots in private schools (and who can afford those?).    Sorry, not meaning to get political in here, but these things have been on my mind a lot lately. 

:hug: Good luck. AFAIC, teaching is a seriously underrated and underpaid profession. I suppose I’m fortunate that I went to school in a small town. My class size was always tiny compared to other places. (When I graduated sixteen years ago, there were 18 of us in my class.) [quote name="mosha010"] How is everyone doing!????[/quote] I’m battling a cold.

There is nothing more effective to a low buy than something happening. My boyfriend got jumped last night. He's in horrible shape, I'm with him right now and its all I can do to hold it together for him. It's like everything just changed. My whole perspective. We're afraid he may lose the sight in his left eye. But I think we are lucky to still have him.

That is absolutely terrible! I am so so sorry @CrimsonQuill157. I am so glad you can be there for him--you're a real trooper girl. Hang in there. I know that we only know eachother here on Specktra, but know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Wish I could do more! Big hugs!

@mosha010 hey girl, hope your doing awesome & things are Gucci with ya. Hugs!

lol.. I thought so too.. but given that I totally cut off contact with him, he is trying desperate measures. I think someone should tell him to go hook up with the young broad again. lol

@Paint&Ink Chick I'm glad to hear the surgery went well! @Paint&Ink Chick

Well, I placed some orders this weekend... no makeup though. Skincare (Avene, Paula's Choice BHA samples) and the Aveda paddle hair brush. I wanted a good brush for a while now and I was undecided between the Aveda and the Less is More one, but the Aveda was cheaper plus extra 10% off and I also got some face cleansing cloths as a GWP.
My skin is in terrible condition today. I think the Avene Triacneal is a great product, but I think it's too harsh for my very sensitive skin. Or maybe I just can't use it everyday and should only use it 1-2x week. Will try again when my skin has calmed down. Right now I feel like Freddy Krüger, lol.

Where are @mosha010 and @HerGreyness ?

bad bad NayNay.. orders? on low buy... that sounds like me

Thank you so much ladies. They have him back there now and I'm in the waiting room... Waiting. Just praying he will be okay.

the triacneal is indeed quite harsh,have you tried the Cleanance k? (http://www.avene.co.uk/Cleanance-K) i thought it was kinder to my sensitive skin.And you should try the Cicalfate emulsion as well it's really good for irritated skin

Thanks for the recommendations I was reading a lot about those products and thought about ordering them, but it seems like the Clearance line is not suited for dry skin. And I read that Bepanthen cream is even better than the Cicalfate, so that's what I'm putting on the dry irritated spots right now.
