If Botox is injected into the area of sweat glands, less sweat and sweat may occur due to lack of activity in the sweat glands. Botox has recently received FDA approval for migraine headaches. Extensive studies have shown a reduction in headache after injection than before injection.plastic surgeryhttp://www.globalmedicaldirectory.usnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7286185572018886497.post-48521792323547059672011-03-10T07:21:20.566+11:002011-03-10T07:21:20.566+11:00GREAT youtube video!

The highlight of the evening was the post dinner game of pool where the parents played the teenagers. The four mums were the loudest and most supportive of each other each time a ball was sunk. The teenagers all rolled their eyes and sympathised with each other over their embarrassing mothers - we had the best night!!

But please do feel free to send me any thoughts, comments, feedback about any of the individual aspects.

Maybe it's like an extreme sport? Or parents testing out Darwin's survival of the fittest theory. But how unfair, Yvette, that your daughter didn't even get PH pay - to go through all that for normal pay just adds insult to injury. So glad the shops are all getting back to normal now.Ilsa Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01935596415299444215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7286185572018886497.post-61287193112249921222011-01-11T00:12:16.757+11:002011-01-11T00:12:16.757+11:00I went to the Boxing day sales at Chadstone once, ...I went to the Boxing day sales at Chadstone once, many years ago (I'm sure it was before I had children and my oldest, like your youngest, also worked on Boxing day this year). I went up the escalator in Myer, looked out over the sea of heads, and had to make my way straight back to the car and head for home. The crush of people was disturbing!<br /><br /> When I recently told my brother, who works in a whitegoods retailer, that I avoid boxing day sales like the plague, he informed me that it really is the best day of the year in his store for cheap prices. Personally I'd prefer the poke-in-the-eye thingy than having to negotiate that many people, even if I did save a few dollars.<br /><br />BTW, great blog.

There has even been a cultural shift in gift-giving for some people - they simply exchange store cards in place of gifts on the 25th, then head out as a Pack to spend them at the sales on the 26th!<br /><br />The whole public holiday/retail employees thing has me stumped too. My son in law and nephew both worked on Christmas Day (both in hospitality industry), my daughter (hospitality, in a shopping centre)did on Boxing Day, yet none get extra pay for doing so, because Monday and Tuesday were the designated holidays because of the weekend! So my other daughter (retail) worked the Tuesday and got extra pay, while her sister had to give up her real Boxing Day for normal pay!<br /><br />It makes a mockery of the whole holiday tradition.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16196056475081281576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7286185572018886497.post-58624276115849670342010-12-31T02:28:25.759+11:002010-12-31T02:28:25.759+11:00Beautiful post.

But I'm beginning to think they don't like me! So I'll give it one more try (the last disaster was one of a long line this year!), and if that doesn't work I'll take you up on your offer!
