I just tried that new product from Veet.  It's a hair removal cream in a can and it comes with this plastic razorless razor thingy.  Ya smear it on, wait between 3 to 5 minutes and then use the razorless razor thingy to "shave" it off.

Ok ... now as bad as I hate to admit this, my legs were in desperate need of a shave.  

Yeah, I was seriously in danger of having man legs, folks.

Yes, you DID need to know this.  It matters.  You'll see.

Ok, so I head into the bathroom with Kimo.  I figure while he's taking a bath, I'll Veet my legs and keep him company.  (Gomez is spending the night with a friend)

I read the directions (cuz I'm a woman and I have that ability and more importantly I use it).  Sounds simple enough right?

It says 3 minutes minimum but 8 minutes maximum.  The time will depend on the coarseness and amount of hair.

"Hmmmm" looking down at my fuzzy right leg.  "Gawd, I'm gonna have to go the whole 8 minutes here."

I keep reading --

Apply, wait three minutes and test an area.  If the hair isn't removed satisfactorily, recover the area and wait a few more minutes.

"Gotcha"  - No, I don't talk to inanimate objects ... much.

Sooooo I plop my foot on the closed toilet seat and stand by the sink.  I slathered a lot of the cream onto my hirsute right leg and grab the watch.  

DING!  Three minutes are up and I grab the razorless razor thingy and start at the bottom of my leg, figuring First On First Off rule was a good one to follow.

OMG - it was amazing how effortlessly it worked!  Zip zip zip and I was done!  Smooooooooooth legs and NO nicks around ankles and knees.

Now granted, I used a LOT of this stuff on my right leg.  

A whole lot.

Like enough to de-fur Robin William's arm.

So I'm thinking that I'll try using less on the other leg and see how the timing works on that one, figuring I'd need more than just three minutes.

BUZZ!

Wrong.  

I used probably 2/3 less than I used on the right leg and after three minutes I got the same results.  Lightly sliding the razorless razor thingy over my leg and leaving smooth silky skin in it's wake.  

Amazing!

This stuff smells a helluva lot better than Nair ever thought about smelling, and the regrowth time is supposed to be just the same.  No razor means no stubble and OMG!!  ......

Are you ready for this ladies?

NO freaking razor rash!  

Which is going to be heavenly for the bikini area!!!  

No red, ugly, itchy bumps ever again!

Ok so WHY did I put this earth shattering discovery in my blog, you may be asking yourself?

Easy:

1. To let other ladies know about this cool new product.
2. To help me remember when I did this so that I can gauge just how long it lasts. 

Ya didn't know you were gonna be guinea pigs, didja? 

I made the font bigger because the cursive was kind of hard to read being the size I had it.  Sorry D^S but I like this font. 

I also put a dashed border around the Title box because it looked really funky just kind of hanging out there. 

Hmmm, new place.  Another one. Yep.

Wonder if this one's going to stick. 

I have to admit that I stuck with Diaryland for alot longer than I thought I would, but the fun and shininess has worn off there.  Oh, I still have my favorites, which are listed under Crushes, but I'm getting so tired of Andrew's inattention and the problems with Dland.

Why pay for services that don't work half the time, or for services you can get elsewhere for free. 

Yeah yeah, I know about all that loyalty stuff, but damn, what about loyalty to the customer?

Here at Bravenet with the free account I get  comments (& notices that I got them!), tag board, cool templates that I can do some customizing to and Extras fields - see the Mood, On My Mind, Reading, Hearing Boxes? (You can set your own)  You set them up when you set up the diary then it's just a matter of filling them in with each entry, instead of having to go into your template coding every time, which is what you have to do if you didn't get hijacked into purchasing a gold/supergold membership.

 I can very easily change the layout, moving the tag board over to the other side, or have it put the entry title in a box.  Heck, I can even code it so that the reader can move the layout around to one they find more to their liking.  No, you can't change my colors or my font.  No touchie!

Oh yeah, there's smilies but I figure I'll get tired of those real soon.  LOL

Now for the stuff you don't see - stats and the ability to block any ISP I want from reading me and/or leaving comments.  Didja hear that Trin? 

Also they have this really kickin' entry box.  Has the bold, underlink, italic, strike through, text alignment, bulleted lists, justify, link, Image, Line codes all as BUTTONS!  Meaning no more freakin' coding within your entries unless you really want to do it yourself.   It's called the Rich Text/Visual Editor entry box.

You can also change the font and font size on the fly within each entry.  Handy for those conversations some people like to post. 

Oh oh oh - There's a spellchecker!  Damn, Chrome woulda loved that. 

I tried Bravenet out a few months ago, but lost interest in it when I realized that there was no central hub in which to check out other bravenet bloggers.  That has changed.

I've not be writing a lot in my diary, haven't really had too much to say.  Anything I came up with was more like a short little blurb instead of a diary entry.  I toyed with the idea of switching to blog style, but damn I must have read the coding changes I'd have had to make five times before giving up.  And forget about emailing for "help".  We all know how that would work out, don't we?
