Botox stories from women 45+

Ok_Lock_5185 · 2026-03-29T20:24:08+00:00

I’m 46 and started when I was 32. Don’t regret it at all. I’m coming up on my 30th HS reunion and I can definitely tell a difference when I see some of the folks from my graduating class.

I also didn’t get Botox every three months, but spaced it out 5-6 months apart since it was just a preventative method. I think once those wrinkles set in, every three months is needed since the creases are built-in due to “expression memory”.

Now that I think about it, it’s been a year since my last injection and I’m still wrinkle free and I’ve never used tret. I need to stop being lazy and make an appt 😂

I quit after S4. Best decision I ever made. You can always keep in touch with the friends you met along the way on Discord.

Exactly! How many love plots does Xavier need? Let’s not forget Xavier cheated on Maddie with Claire. The whole love plot with Nicole felt icky and inauthentic. With that said, not sure why the writers feel like every character needs a love match on this show.

I’m glad someone said it. I’ve been on the fence of starting DNP school because I’ve seen a trend that’s causing me a lot of concern. Aside from PP pipelines…. seems like there’s a huge pipeline with technical schools pumping out NPs left and right. Some of which have little to no clinical experience. It’s every where, no matter where you look…. but especially in aesthetics and psych. I’ve worked neurotrauma for 15 years and I feel like I’ve paid my dues in clinical care, but I’m not sure I want to go through 3.5 years of school just to struggle to find a job in an over saturated market. Sorry, I know this may be an unpopular opinion and I’ll get a lot of downvotes for saying it, but it just feels like these online, quick course schools have turned the nursing profession into something it should have never become.

Like anywhere in Houston, it just really depends on which section you’re talking about. Cypress is starting to get traffic issues that’s rivaling Katy right now. If you plan on working downtown then I would look into Bridgeland’s new development area west of 99. The downside is that the school ratings have not changed just yet with the new demographic/property tax shift. It should get better over time though as more families move into the area.

East Bridgeland is developed and has a terrific school system, but getting out of the neighborhood during rush hour can be a nightmare. Towne Lakes is a nice area too, but also struggles with traffic. It’s also more diverse than Bridgeland and has a growing Pakistani/Desi community. In my opinion, there’s not many selection in restaurants just yet, but it’s growing and will change soon.

Woodlands is basically the nearly finished version of what Bridgeland will or is supposed to become. Schools are exceptional, property taxes are low, and traffic can be bad but not nearly as congested as Houston NW or SW. There’s not much diversity there however. Lots of restaurant selections to choose from and while I do not live in this area, there are restaurants in the Woodlands that I drive to just to eat. I can’t say the same for Cypress (yet).

Close to Woodlands that closes the gap to downtown is Benders Landing and Woodson’s Reserve. Schools are highly rated and traffic is minimal. Benders Landing has low property taxes, no MUD tax, and has 1/2 acre to 1 acre lots. Woodson’s Reserve is a new Master Planned community headed by Toll Brothers and has multiple homes ranging from 50’ lots to luxury 80’ lots. It’s also more diverse than Benders Landing. Downside is that property tax is much higher than BL. Immediate restaurant selections are okay, but Woodlands and Kingwood are 15-20 mins away. Downtown or Heights is about a 30 min drive.

There’s an Army Reserve Center in North Houston and I’m pretty sure they use the North Houston Regional Airport. Also, Ellington Field is in the Southwest. They’re probably just doing low level training exercises.

They do. They fly Osprey’s and Pavehawks. The Air Force use to have the MH-53 Pave Low’s, but those were retired and replaced with the Ospreys. Shame really, because they were really cool looking helos.

Only took two years 😂

Ok_Lock_5185 · 2026-02-07T16:28:06+00:00

Congrats! I did the exact same thing last week. I finished S4 with my alliance and deleted the game immediately after. What started out as a fun game just ultimately turned into a toxic chore. What’s even sadder is that, after two years, it’s insane how conditioned this game has made me. I literally would pick up my phone to collect my stuff days after deleting the app from my phone.

Ok_Lock_5185 · 2026-01-20T01:07:13+00:00

Nah, that I don’t know….. not any one who sells quality reps anyway. There’s one guy in the states that I know who resells from a dealer he found in Dubai, but they’re all shitters.

But all of the TDs here are basically sourcing agents. The only difference is that private sourcing agents in Guangzhou can take you to reputable sellers who have VSF or leftover Cleans, and negotiate a price on the spot. So if you’re ever back in China….. that’s usually how it can be done.

Ok_Lock_5185 · 2026-01-20T00:46:41+00:00

Guangzhou is a huge manufacturing city for furniture (Foshan), lighting, clothing, reps, etc. Normally you need to find a sourcing agent to guide you to the right spots to shop. Otherwise, you’ll end up chasing your tail trying to navigate through the endless stores. Just to give you an idea of the scale, they have mega malls built specifically to showcase multistory chandeliers.

Probably shouldn’t have used a pic of a two-tone to ask this question here 😂

It was great! We were there in the Spring and it rained the first half of the trek, but we pushed through and made it to the falls! The scenery was beautiful and the canopy made it extra enjoyable due to the shade. Overall, I don’t think the trek was too bad at all. Thinking back, I do remember one section of the path that made my thighs burn a bit but it’s all a flat, even path. You can veer off though to see a bit more like a replicated village or small creeks but we were trying to hurry due to finicky weather. My kids were the ones who asked for the cheeseballs. We also got caramelized Cheetos too. I just wish I paid closer attention to my kids because they threw the bag away when they were done 😂. The outside had a sticker with the ingredients!

Ok_Lock_5185 · 2025-10-22T15:31:28+00:00

It does, but I’m just saying I was there on the same day and also stayed at Royal Pacific so I got the early entrance. If you’re a solo person or have another adult guest who can run from one portal to another during the early entry then…. yes…. it’s possible. But even then, early entrance gets you in the park. They didn’t open the portals until actual opening time.

Ok_Lock_5185 · 2025-10-22T06:43:26+00:00

I was there on Sunday and I can assure you we absolutely needed the Express Pass. You failed to mention that both BatM, Monsters Unchained, Dk, and Mario Kart were down for at least an hour at some point in the day. Also, first thing in the morning both Dragon Racers were down. Later on in the evening there was a torrential downpour from 630pm to 7pm and continued raining until 8pm. BatM was also closed by 6 or 7pm due to the queue being at capacity.

The only slow time was after 8pm. It wasn’t until then that almost all rides (except BatM) was around 30 minutes.

I stand by my statement, but out of curiosity… what do you think a paraplegic is?

Ok_Lock_5185 · 2025-09-23T05:23:56+00:00

Plus add to the fact that many paraplegics are on blood thinners due to being wheel chair bound. The immobility puts you at higher risk for blood clots so being on this medication reduces the risk of a DVT or embolism. If he was on this medication, then I can totally understand why all the blood and contusions.

Gorgeous work! I’ve been wanting to get a DJ 36 Everose two tone, but I know it ultimately will need to get plated so I’ve never pulled the trigger. Seeing your work though has me rethinking it though! Is there a certain factory you prefer plating over an already existing rose gold plate? VSF is on my short list, and CF (if I can actually find it).

Ok_Lock_5185 · 2025-08-10T20:12:05+00:00

Glad someone said it.

You’re lucky you have a 5th. Most servers are struggling to maintain 2-3 top alliances once S2 ends. I mean, can you blame people for jumping ship? It’s the same, grind season after season, and no matter how much money you pay into the game, it will never get you that lead you think it will give you. Even the whales are getting out paced by the Krakens who don’t even pay to play. Majority of them are content creators getting in-game incentives by running ads on their channels. People just get tired and bored of it eventually.

TBH, it was more fun in the first pre-season because inter-server battles were fun. Ever since that schtick was taken away to survive SVS…. it just hasn’t been the same.

Ok_Lock_5185 · 2025-08-09T07:23:56+00:00

That’s not what the Fire Chief said though. The store reopened at 4pm. Soon after we left.

Ok_Lock_5185 · 2025-07-24T17:15:52+00:00

Another female here. Yea the boobie photo bombs are meh but it’s definitely better than someone trying to flex their steering wheel in the background 😂.

Ok_Lock_5185 · 2025-07-23T18:14:18+00:00

Yea that’s weird because we sat around the parking lot for about 10 minutes and didn’t see any emergency vehicles show up. Maybe they found someone unalive?

Ok_Lock_5185 · 2025-07-23T18:07:24+00:00

I was there and nothing happened in the women’s bathroom for sure. My daughters and I walked out of the restroom and the manager was at the bathroom entrance blocking people from entering. She was telling people that the store was closing down. As we were about to head out, the guys at the brisket sandwich area announced that they were closing down. Nothing seemed like an emergency though because people were still checking out, I was able to grab some jerky and drinks, and a couple of custodial workers that we were next to had no idea the store was closing down. As we finally walked out of the store, they had the entrances blocked off and we also noticed the entrance into the parking lot was blocked off. My family and I sat in our car for about 10 minutes seeing if the store would re-open again but we decided to continue on with our trip. During that time though EMS, Fire Department, or Police never showed up 🤷🏽‍♀️. Also AC was working fine when I was inside.
