also, OT, another note of irritation on my behalf - i found something
great called Brolene Gel that cured my eyes of rosacea (in combination
with other treatments, cleaning regimes and supplements).

the chemist told me it was going out of production. not believing my
ears, i went to another chemist .. they had plenty! they said it was
fine, no worries! i bought a couple of tubes just in case.

return to buy more, thinking .. hmm, better get supplies ... and ..
nothing. "oh sorry they actually DID go out of production after all ..
silly us!"

anyways ... fat least i can use "No More Tears", a lipoic spray for
eyelids .. must allow it to dry for at least a minute on the lids,
otherwise it might drip and irritate the eye.

as regards the fact that i have brought information to the group that
may not please some members, can i just take a moment to say this: do
not shoot the messenger.

i have been a part of this group since 2002, and i had to leave the
group for a time, as i was abused by three different people in regards
to a fellow called "ghost cat", an unscrupulous underhanded spammer,
whom i called out as a scammer.

just mentioning, in case anyone thinks it is fine to hassle me - it
ain't.


i only bring this information to the group because i think it is time
for the truth to come out.

i have provided a number of solutions .. especially the clearasil
'vanishing' and 'ultra' combo which can work great, but no-one has
asked me about that. no one asks me about the burdock solution etc ..

what i am trying to do here is gently explain that if i bring info to
the group, i am not willing to listen ot any whingeing and "heck this"
or "heck that". seriously, i am not here to cause irritation at all,
and i do not wish to be painted in that light at all, not even one
percent, THANKYOU.
