Formula 303 - Review
Formula 303 is amazing! I take two before bed and it helps my TMJ... my jaw is less tight and I find myself not having to 'crunch' it open when I wake up.
It also reduces my back tension — I had the easiest chiropractic adjustment recently, after over a month of not seeing him! He barely pressed on my back and the whole thing cracked all the way up. And it disappeared my restless-leg/thigh tightness go away overnight... like magic, poof!
The only negative is that they smell like butt. XP (But that means they're all-natural, so it's tolerable.)

The cheapest price I found was on eBay, 250ct.
Ingredients:
• Valerian Root (valeriana officinalis) — used for centuries to calm upset nerves and for treating mood problems, pain and headaches. Today, homeopaths and herbalists use Valerian root for its antispasmodic, calmative, tranquilizing, carminative (good for upset stomach and digestion) and pain relieving effects. Main ingredient in Valium.
• Passion Flower (passiflora incarnata) — discovered in 1569, it is primarily used as a sedative or nervine to combat excess nervousness and anxiety, to tranquilize and to promote sleep; as an anodyne, anti-spasmodic and anti-convulsant to treat dysmenorrhea, muscle cramps, etc.
• Magnesium — is one of the most important essential minerals to promote proper nerve function. It is a key element in the stabilization of nerve cells, without which, the nerves would be in a constant state of excitation (a state known as tetany).

Eggs For Sale — Again!
Last year, the Center For Reproductive Medicine MN called and basically said I wasn't allowed to donate my eggs anymore because of my 'grandparents medical history' — something about new laws in place and that I wasn't a 'good candidate' any more. (All my grandparents have passed for various reasons, but it doesn't matter that all my aunts/uncles/cousins and both parents are in perfectly good health!?!)
It was quite upsetting... especially that the coordination nurse just left this information as a voicemail on my cell, and didn't wait until I called back to find out what she wanted. Oh, and mind you, I had JUST donated my eggs ONE month prior!
Anyway, I never called her back because frankly, I was too upset and nothing I say to her would change their minds or make me feel any better about it.
However, two days ago at 8am, I got a call from a familiar number but didn't answer. I listened to the voicemail they left, and turns out, it was the Center! I was quite shocked to hear DaNae's voice again; she said that the previous couple I had donated to would like me to donate to them again, if I was willing. I had already made my decision before the message was done... yes of course!
I called her back around lunchtime and said I was surprised to hear from her, especially after the last phone call from her... she nervously agreed, and reiterated her voicemail. I said "it's probably none of my business, but why do they need more eggs, since I gave them 10 last time?" I expected her to say 'I can't tell you for legal reasons', but she was extremely open in the information she gave me. She said that the couple had a successful pregnancy, which ended up going to 42 weeks (2 weeks past the 'normal' time), but it ended in a 'fetal death'. Horrible to hear!!! She said the couple was devastated because their baby looked "perfect". Apparently they used up all the viable embryos from my last donation, so the couple asked the Center if "they could use the same 'perfect' donor again". :D Such a wonderful thing to hear, especially after the Center basically said my eggs weren't good enough anymore!
She also gave me some more very personal information, which was completely shocking to hear (like she was trying to give me as much info as possible so I would say yes — even though I had already made my choice before calling). Once she was done talking, I said "I would absolutely love to donate to them again! Especially after such a horrible experience...". So after some testing they need to do with the recipient, DaNae said it would most likely be early September when the injections would start, with a mid-September retrieval. Works out perfectly for me because work will be slow again, before the Holiday rush!
I'm SUPER excited to donate again! I wanted to do one more cycle, anyway. It's a sad situation that I'm able to do this, but helping the couple again will be amazing!!!

Ida's Dance
Omg this is one of my top 10 favorite/funniest Malcolm In The Middle scenes.
Hal and Reese have been watching horror movies for days, and Hal isn't taking it so well... from Ida's Dance episode in Season 6!

Bellatrix Lestrange Costume
The top, necklace, tattoo, wand and velvet skirt are from eBay. (This was my 'back-up' top... I had ordered one from the UK, via an online store. I received it on Halloween day at 4pm, due to a long shipping time; but it turned out that it wasn't as perfect as I thought it would be! So I used the back-up instead... which worked out very well.)
The corset with skirt attached was a wonderful find from Black Rose. So many other things I want to buy from them!
The wig was amazing... stylists at Hair Police were surprised that it was synthetic and not real hair. It was pricey, but for a decent wig in any style or color — totally worth it! Found it at Wigs.com. Who knew!?! ;D
The snake ring was from Eye Of Horus. It's a great Uptown store! I had a Tarot reading while I was there... woot!
And the boots are the prettier ones of the two I had to chose from via Pyramid Collection — another amazing store that I want to buy tons of things from!
Only two weeks and a pile of money to piece together, but totally worth it! Too bad Monday night was dead, as far as Halloween patrons... oh well.
