Priceless

I've tried everything from accutane to proactiv... and my acne is still very active at 28 yrs old.

My doctor mentioned Obagi (primary care physician not dermatologist).

My dermatologist's only recommendation is to go back on accutane- I'm not sure I want that potent stuff in my system again... kids may be in the near future...

Any feedback would great positive and negative.

thank you

I'm so frustrated with my acne. I have tried everything- yes everything even Accutane. I still have ridiculous break outs. I wish I knew what it was---I don't think it's my diet b/c I stay away from chocolates, soda, and most dairy.

I've used Avon's Clearskin, Proactiv (too strong, and the gentle formula was too gentle!), Accutane, Retin-A, Benzamycin, Cetaphil, etc etc etc...

I'm now starting to take Juice Plus to ensure I'm getting the right amount of fruits and veggies. But I'm almost tempted to go back on Accutane but I'm nervous about the side effects, I may want children in the next few years...and it's been out of my system now for 3 years. . .

Anyone who has any pointers- at this point I'm desperate. I feel that this condition is still holding me back, even at 28, from getting to the place I need to be.

Thanks for reading...

I purchased a condo in November of 07 and am interested in buying another piece of property to have as rental property. Since the prices (in the Washington, DC area) have drastically reduced- I want to get a piece of pie before the market corrects itself.

But I don't have very much extra in savings ($6k). My other bills are reasonable. I may have a renter lined up, I just need the property. I'm not sure how financing would work either.

Thanks for your input.

I have changed jobs 4 times in the last 5 years and I cannot understand why. It's obviously not the jobs but me. So maybe I am picking the wrong jobs...! I have a BBA in Mgnt and 5 yrs of HR experience. I'm thinking I need a career change. I need something with a little more umph! I have a strong work ethic and work well behind the scenes individually or with a team.

help-- surely there's an ideal job for me...

I have a 2001 Solara with 70K miles fully loaded and in great condition. Only thing- I really want to go to a 4 door. Another thing, my boyfriend has been driving my car lately since his truck was stolen. He puts most of the miles on the car since I metro to work. He was thinking of buying my car but we had it appraised this weekend and only got $7k, I owe $8k on it.

Should we trade it in, or should he just buy it from me (pay off my loan)?

I'm just nervous with the market- I just bought a condo and started a new job...

I get easily bored on a job- I am a very hard worker, don't get me wrong! I take great initiative and have a strong drive. I have a Bachelor's degree- but I'm bored on my current job- well really there a lots of inconsistencies and they are extremely unorganized! Will someone hire me even though I have had 4 jobs in the last 5 years? They are all relevant and have been progressive movements. somebody help please! The next one I get I can't leave... I won't have a choice but to stay..!

I know this sounds crazy but it's true if you take away his kids he is every girl's dream. . . well that's if you like big guys. I'm not 100% physically attracted to him- but he hands down treats better than anyone ever has. He's 10 years older than me and ready to get married. I love him, but not like he loves me. I trust him, I know that he will do whatever he can to make sure I'm happy... If I marry him b/c I know I'll always be happy then what? I love him, I really do- he's just not my ideal guy. We have a fantastic time together doing whatever anytime! This is scary...

I have a good handle on my credit and a good score at 750 but I have almost 7K on a credit card at 7% interest (fixed) that I would love to get rid of and put that money towards paying my car off (about 8k to go). I recently purchased a home in Nov '07 and now trying to renovate. I have school loans at about 20k also... I plan to use my tax refund to pay off another card that has a 2k balance.

Should I stay or go. I can't even attend training courses (unless I pay for them myself), not to mention the fact that I cannot even continue my professional HR membership- I was told to share with my boss.... what! How unethical is that! I've only been here since Dec '07. Should I stay or go...
