He new show is "The Mystries of Laura" on NBC Wednesdays.

Enjoy!

My hairdresser has the name of someone. Each month I ask her, and each month she says I'll write it down for you, and each month we forget by the time she's done with my hair. I think the name is something like Bassert, but I tried googling that and got nowhere.

After three twenty-somethings got up and offered me their seats on the Paris Metro last month,,,,, Yes!

Sorry to Disagree,
But I think Grandchildren should be the only topic that should ever be discussed. Never anything personal.
The signs on many a corner tell it all. "NO OUTLET".

I'm a little confused... are you responding to someone's post? If so, which one?

Hope y'all read it. Cause I deleted it. Had two posts removed today.

I am writing on behalf of Linda is legally blind. She is looking for a referral to a local gynecologist.

Got it.

Steve, you've lost your way. You wandered into "Girl Talk" by mistake.

I don't know any gynecologists.
Can anyone help with a name and number?

I feel your pain. As I was going through security at the airport they told me not to take my shoes off. After the age of 75 it was no longer necessary. 75 !!!! not even close. Should have taken him out.

Then as I was riding the shuttle two people offered me a set. One had to be in her 60s. :22yikes:

From personal experience, I can highly recommend Dr. Uzoma Nwaubani whose practice is Female Continence & Pelvic Surgery Center 352-633-0703. My friend and neighbor sees Dr. Kathleen A. Steepy, MD, Village Gynecology at 352-259-5740. Both excellent gynecologists.

Dr. Kathleen Steepy, she's wonderful.

We just watched the last show on Netflix...the good thing is, I just heard that it was renewed. If anyone hasn't seen it you have to watch. Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin are wonderful...you have to see them both dancing on a bar top! Suddenly you realize that we don't have to grow up!

The scene where they are dancing on the bar and the bouncer is trying to make them stop had the best line of dialogue in the whole script......

Bouncer: GET DOWN!

Lily Tomlin: We are gettin' down!

......And they kept right on dancing. :)

I just saw Grace & Frankie on Netflix last night, thanks to your recommendation! It was hilarious & I sat through 3 episodes.
You're right... Jane Fonda does look fabulous! On the other hand, one of my good friends had the Jane Fonda workout video & she spent 6 months with doctors & physical therapy getting her back fixed after doing the exercises. :22yikes:

Thanks for the recommendation! :wave:

I knew Fonda was 77, but I didn't realize Tomlin is 75. Good genes & good surgeons. They have been friends since they worked together on Nine to Five. They have great chemistry!

I wonder if these makeup tips are valid. Obviously she is trying to sell makeup, but I think some of her tips are valid.

I have started using Paula's Choice cosmetics based on Wandatime's recommendation. I really like the dailymoisturer with SPF. Nice and light feeling, not greasy.

Agree. But where can I buy that hair!

I just set the DVR for Masterpiece Theater's new series on PBS, Sunday night, Indian Summers. If you Google the title you will find reviews, some of which say this new series is aimed at Downton Abbey fans. It's not supposed to be as good, but it sounds like it will be good enough for me. I thought maybe some of you might like to tune in, too.

I don't have a DVR but I do have Netflix. I notice that some of the Downton Abbey series is now on Netflix. Perhaps Indian Summers will be there also.

If you are looking for something totally opposite from Downton Abbey, there is a series on Netflix called Rita. It's about a Scandinavian (I think) school teacher. My girlfriend told me to watch it and that it uses subtitles, so I wasn't keen to watch it. But after a while, you don't even notice the subtitles. I just watched three seasons.

Rita is a bit "rough around the edges" so the series isn't for the faint-hearted. I found it entertaining.

might be getting off the thread topic, but . . .
 

one of our new favorite series (actually an old one, I guess - we're watching on Netflix) is New Tricks, a British series bringing 3 old detectives (all with quirks) out of retirement to work under a woman chief superintendent on Cold Cases. We really like it.

Hello and thank you, Barefoot and Ohiogirl, for your Netflix suggestions. I tend to be overwhelmed by the number of choices on Netflix. Lots of them I have never heard of so I always like suggestions.

Ohiogirl, I saw what you wrote on top of your post about thinking maybe you were going off topic. Certainly not. Not at all. :) You were not even close to straying from the topic and besides, I think it is fun to expand on a topic. I call it conversation.

The "Girl Talk" thread has a history. The purpose of this thread is to allow for conversation about things that interest women. And to allow for topics to meander and jump. Just like dinner conversation in a group of women. We all know we have a remarkable ability to follow several conversations at once -- so here in "Girl Talk" we can do just that.......

More than seven years ago, Barefoot started the "Girl Talk" thread, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that we women could carry on our conversation in our own way. And through more than 2500 posts and tons of topics and passing a quarter million hits and for almost 8 years, "Girl Talk" has endured.

And I cannot remember a single time when anyone in "Girl Talk" was rude or suspicious.

I like the show Madam Secretary but what's with her wearing jackets with 3/4 sleeves with long-sleeved blouses. Last night it was a 3/4 sleeved sweater over a long-sleeved blouse with cuffs that looked like they had been caught in a shredder. (Maybe some secret documents had to be shredded and she did not have time to change.)

I wore a lot of jackets to work but I never would have worn them with 8 inches of blouse sleeve hanging out.

Oh well, I guess I am hopelessly out of it. At least Madam Secretary is not going around with her bra straps showing. That is a "look" that I really do not get.

I try not to miss the show. But I do find that sleeve combo disconcerting.

Boomer... I love the show Madame Secretary but last night I kept being distracted by the terrible clothes that Tea Leone wears in every episode. I really hate it when men talk about the looks of politicians so I feel a bit badly saying that but seriously, she's a nice looking woman and is always in bad "man" clothes!

I also found that blouse, sleeves and colors, totally distracting.

I am hoping someone can tell me what I am doing wrong.....

I am so aggravated at having brand new black pants turn a noncommittal shade of charcoal gray after just two or three washings.

The pants are cotton, mostly capris. Some of them from L. L. Bean and Lands End.

I wash them in cold water. I turn them inside-out. I use Woolite. Sometimes I use Cheer. Both of those promise to guard my colors. But that is not happening.

I am spending my life-savings replacing capris because the ones in my closet look like 50 shades of charcoal.

Any laundry tips that can put me back in black?

I have heard a couple of things down through the years. I don't have any proof. One was to soak the items in vinegar and water before the first wash to "set" the color. The second thing I heard was that the dryer does as much to fade the color as the washer.

I just dyed three black shirts that are old, I love, and can't replace. It was a pain in the neck as we don't have a stainless sink and I was afraid of staining the sink. I used the plastic laundry sink but was very careful. It turned out well, but I probably won't do that again.

I have thought about trying to dye them, but I know I would turn it into a rigmarole that would ruin something and/or I would end up with the dye not properly setting and getting all over me when I wore the pants.

I had not heard the vinegar thing but I think I did hear something about salt in the water.

I do understand what you mean though about being willing to try dye with shirts you really like. Pants are at least usually replaceable but shirts don't seem to be.

I also would like to know if anyone has bought a brand of black pants with color that holds.

Oh, and here's another thing. But you may be unwilling to do this. I send all black pants, of any material, to the dry cleaner. It's mainly because I am lousy at ironing pants. but they don't fade.

Boomer, there is a type of Woolite for use on black clothes only, which is in a black container. I use that type on all my black clothes, including tops, blouses, bras and even trouser socks. I even use it on dark blue jeans. I wash in cold water and hang everything to dry; however, then I usually have to steam iron all the clothes. The ironing is annoying but the clothes do last longer so I indulge in "junk" TV while ironing.

I do agree that the dryer is very hard on colors. I hang almost all of my clothes but when I mistakenly put some into the dryer there was a major difference.

I also hang all my clothes to dry. Otherwise they shrink.
Actually I've noticed lately that even clothes I haven't washed are shrinking. :shocked: yikes.

I was at a public beach recently. Most men had on roomy bathing suits down to their knees.
I noticed that most women were jammed into little suits with their cellulite bottoms hanging out.
So ... Who decided the proper "bathing costume" for women

Mine are shrinking too. I think it's the Kettle Chips.


Please carry on about the black dye fading in clothes. It is amazing how much you can learn on this forum.

I have found that my cotton and cotton blend blacks fade from the sun exposure here. I don't know how to change that!

The only pants I have that don't fade, machine wash and dry beautifully, don't wrinkle and are great in the hot weather here is the Zenergy Neema pants and shorts from Chico's. They are a super light weight, synthetic blend that are very comfy. Same type of fabric as my Hubby's golf shorts. They are truly colorfast.

I bought 5 different colors and they hold up great. The Blacks do not fade. All my other fabrics have since I have been here.
