    One point for men...just this once ;-)

    At first I only used portions and put them pretty much on the side of my mouth so my lip didn't bulge out (female so no 'stache to hide it). So when I tried los at first, I was still trying to keep it back there and was getting it all over my teeth. No biggie at home since I keep a brush and floss right on my desk for when I get rid of the pris. I tried using a prismaster alone and they didn't stick together for long. No matter what I did, I'd end up with it between my teeth.

    Not wanting to give up since I have a few cans of los and all, I finally decided to listen to the male voices in here saying "stick it near the front and hand bake". Was always afraid I'd end up looking like some redneck chick. (No offense :wink: just not my best look).

    Soooo, took a little bit, compressed it kinda flat with my fingers, stuck it way up in that upper lip, and whoa, it works! It's a small pris, maybe half the size of a mini, but it IS staying put and is invisible. I'll work my way up eventually to a slightly larger pris. Guess there is a learning curve involved, but I'm getting there! Now I'll just use the prismaster to kind of measure it out and mostly form it by hand.

    So, it might've taken me a little while to actually listen to the posts in here by you guys because I was determined that this los stuff could be used on the side of my mouth! But it just doesn't work for me that way.

    I will only admit it this one time only...you men were right. :P

          ops: I had to give them props on this ONE thing too...I was determined to be a bottom lip snuser...just couldn't get past my old "dip habits". I gave up after about a week. Now I'm a big ole hill billy chick with the Dr.Suess upper lip! I still prefer a 3ml size pris but the length is getting longer. Guess I might move up to 4ml soon...but I hate to get bigger...trying to conserve for "Armageddon" when the senate tells me I'm SOL. It's hard being a woman and telling men they actually know something we don't.

                  I tried the bottom lip too...didn't work too bad, but removal was another thing :wink: And I also wondered if I made a mistake in trying los...but everyone seems so sold on it that I had to keep on trying!

                  Hmmm, maybe I should've just told you that they were right this time, hehe. Could've been our little secret! :lol:

                        So I just have to bitch about the ex since we are the subject.

                        I had to pay her $695 this month. We have a payment plan with the IRS set up from when we were still legally married. All that we owe left on it is my part. So she got a refund this year, and of course, the IRS seized it to apply to what we owe. So I had to replace the money. Same thing happened last year with her stimulus check and she just donated that to the cause. But I couldn't let her do that again.

                        So when I paid her this month, she told me if I wanted to, to break it up. I said no, it would be tight, but I just needed it done.

                        So anyways, I just called her and asked her to make sure she writes a check out to me today for my work i did this weekend (still work for her family business part time). I REALLY want to get my vaporizer ordered as soon as possible. She starts lecturing me. "I told you that you shouldn't pay me all at once", and is going on and on about how she was right and I shouldn't have done that. I finally just stopped her and politely explained that I am OK with money, I just have a special purchase I want to make, my mom is paying for, but I'd rather not wait for that check.

                        I mean, we aren't even married anymore and she STILL insists on always being right. Sigh. I guess these reminders are useful. I am still more messed up from the divorce then not. Hate being alone. But understand better than ever how toxic she really was.

                          No disrespect intended to you Sage, but your ex sounds like a royal bad word! Nobody deserves to live like that. I think you're a swell guy, and I'm sure you'll find you a good woman to fill that void.

                          Hell it took me three tries to get it right! But I wouldn't go back and change it for the world. All the BS gave me a better appreciation for what I have now.

                          Do you have any children together?

                            No, no kids. And I have been very grateful we were spared going through that part. Still, a bit of a touchy subject for me. Laura was adamant about not having kids. Much of me agreed with that, but there is a part of me that is very sad about it. I was adopted, never knew my birth parents. So by not having kids, it means I go my whole life never knowing another blood relation. About 6 years ago, I got snipped. Just the right choice, Laura was about 35 and really did need to get off the hormones. But I assumed we would always be together. Now, single again, and any woman who still wants kids is kinda taken out of the running. REALLY not happy about that part now.

                            Laura is a good woman, but treats people very badly. Obviously, I had made peace with that part. But see things with much clearer lenses now, and really am grateful to no longer have to put up with it. I have know most of her employees for between 5 -13 years. It is really funny when we talk because they have to deal with the same issues I always did. They never really did understands how I managed to put up with it so long.

                            I agree with you. In many ways, I am grateful for everything I have had to learn. I know that one day I will find happiness again. Just really, really hard waiting sometimes. But I survive. No one is better at surviving than I am, and will keep doing it as long as I need to.

                              Wow! I'm adopted too, and I know exactly what you mean about the blood relative deal. That's one of the reasons I treasure my daughter so much.

                              I'm not very educated about the whole snippage thing, but I was under the impression that it could be reversed.

                              But if not and you one day decide you really want kids, there's always adoption. It doesn't help with having a blood relative, but in a sense it woluld be like giving back. And there's so many children out there that really need a loving home.

                              You seem llike a really good person, and things always have a way way of working out for those that deserve it!
