Congrats to them!

I had my laugh of the day over "concubine."

When I first read that, I had to double-check that I wasn't reading the Faux News thread.

his girlfriend, that is... I wonder who does the translation on his site

Congrats to Stan. He's still chasing Federer, I guess.

Hope they have some baby skin products ready

What's convenient is, no expense will be necessary when it comes time for Stan to teach his child Connect the Dots.

I cannot believe how cavalier some people here are about acne. It is serious for those who suffer. It results in low self-esteem and anxiety about going out in public. It can be a real hinderance on your life - especially because you are worried people are thinking exactly what is being expressed here. I would think taters would be more sensitive.

You've been DYING for your chance for a post such as this one, haven't you?

AND, btw, I had horrendous, Job-like acne as a kid and teenager, too. And will be dealing with much milder adult acne for the rest of my life. So there. (Depression's worse.)

I know depression's worse. It can be life or death, and unfortunately, I can give an example. I am not mocking that. But, the comments early in that thread, to me, were not cruel or even borderline. Connect the dots was.

I suffer(ed) from adult acne. It hit when in college and continued after. There were times I would get back to my apartment on a Friday and someone would call wanting to go drinking or whatever. I would say no and they didn't know why. A bunch of us would agree to go clubbing Friday night when leaving work. I'd get in my car, glance in the rearview mirror, and go home instead.

Then came Proactiv.

Then, years later, Neutrogena came out with a nice line of products - Advance Solutions, Clear Pore Cleanser/Mask, both of which I use to this day.

I still have some irritation at times, but it doesn't bother me too much.

I also stayed home many, many times for years due to acne. Which started for me QUITE pre-teenage years (8 or 9)- and lasted into my 20's. Had many treatments- including docs using this horrible mini-knife to cut open the worst of the acne- it was that bad. No medication/creams/whatever have ever worked for me longer than a few weeks at best- then or now. Fortunately, the very worst of my acne more or less stopped once I moved out on my own- albeit I'd get bad outbreaks once in awhile until my thirties. Go figure. And, like I said, I'll get outbreaks forever- not NEARLY as bad now, though. BLESS concealers. (I am sure by now that I am coming off as TAT's own Saturday Night Live Kristin Wiig "Penelope" character. Only I ain't lyin' about any of this. )

For some reason, I can laugh at it now, big time. Which I try to do about most everything with my own life. That's the problem with humor, though. You push the edge, you go over sometimes- at least for some. Sorry if this offended.

I like humor. That's why I love this board.

I still get zits in pairs. I can get one on one side of my face and the next day, kaboom, there's a twin in the exact same spot on the other side.

Drives me bonkers.

I had horrible acne as a teenager, too. I used a medicated coverup, and then many people assumed I was wearing makeup. It was even the butt of a joke at a school assembly. I was mortified.

But karma sucks. Most of the people who laughed at me have 5 kids by 5 different men, are cared for by the State, or are strugging in one way or another. That makes me smile. My 20th high school reunion was a riot.
