Dipo, what part of Concord is it in? My ex was a Boy Scout and they did a lot of nature stuff around there - he might know what it is.

Merrysea, the little creek crosses treat blvd by the Morman Chruch then hangs a right and goes between Ignacio High School and De La Salle Highschool. I am not sure where it goes when it heads north, I haven't been able to find a map that tracks it that way. You can see it on google earth, but it is hard to tell it is a creek. TIA

I went to Ygnacio, so I know exactly what creek you are talking about - I don't know the name, though. I just called my ex at work, and he doesn't know the name, but he said he has a Concord map at home that might have it. So hopefully I can let you know tonight.

Dipo, maybe if it is unnamed, you can name it after yourself! Or better yet, name it after me. Juju Creek has a nice ring to it.

LOL, Juju, I think Pamy has already named it. Oh, Merrysea I am so happy someone knows what I am talking about it, maybe your ex's map will work.

Anyone familiar with Portland Oregon? If so, can you pop over here: ../1187977/5080884.html> and give me a hand? I am looking for a decent yet cheap hotel. TIA!!

Sorry, Julie... been through Oregon once, but it was down the coastline, I don't remember a stop in Portland. I have two questions. Of utmost importance (like, tonight, if possible), does anyone follow golf and have a very summary report of how Tiger Woods is playing recently? There's way too much info on google to find a brief overview at quick glance. Secondly, and totally unrelated to the first, I need a recommendation for a great moisturizing face wash. I bought some Nivea stuff but I'm not happy with it. I've always had really, really dry skin, especially around the forehead and the bridge of the nose, but this stuff seems to be making the exceptionally dry parts dryer, while causing blemishes on the more moisturized parts like the chin and the cheeks. I just need something I can use twice a day to get rid of the dryness, but not cause pimples. Somewhere in the less than $20 range.

I use Clinique, not sure at the price because a bottle goes so far, but probably somewhere around $20. Family knows to buy for special Christmas present and guaranteed I will use. About 35 years ago, a Philipino woman I thought was in her late 30's told me she was age 59. Just about fell over. She admitted she had always used Clinique. I tried it. No fragrance, no oiliness, hypoallegenic (sp?). I've never been able to use anything else since. My face itches or breaks out when I use anything else. It just feels so GOOD, like silk on the skin without being greasy. Here, we get it from Nordstroms or Macy's/Bon Marche. They usually give a free demo to see if you like. Their makeup is pricey, but the moisturizing basic is what I stick to. ETA, they have different levels dry/oily etc. That's why you go through the demo to see what is best. Years ago I did Merle Norman and it burned the crap out of my face. Even if you don't buy the Clinique it's worth going through the free demo.

A long time ago a dermatologist recommended Clinique to me because it was non-oily and one of the very few without fragrance. I buy everything unscented that I can because I am overly sensitive to fragrances. I used Clinique for a long time. Amway skin care is also excellent and fragrance free. I now use Arbonne and I love it the most. For someone with extremely dry skin I would recommend the RE9 set. Another local doctor who does laser skin treatments to eliminate wrinkles (can't remember what it's called) recommended the Avon products at a seminar she gave. I think it's just a trial and error thing for what you like and what works for you.

Hey Bisc. what is the Name of the Clinique? there are so many subgroups of that brand that I find it confusing. *********** I have many chemical sensitivities and had all but given up on finding a decent moisturizer...until I sent away for some MURAD products. I phone in my order and wha La, it shows up via mail in about a week. The "skin perfecting lotion" is absolutely wonderful. I always wear it under makeup and also put it on at night. all you need is about the size of a pea on each cheek. Really covers well it is also easy to return the product IF it doesnt do what you want. I've found this company Great! as I have had tried out three diff products which didnt work for me and it was a troublefree rebate back into my account. http://tinyurl.com/2bhqor
Skin Perfecting Lotion-- Achieve uniform texture and tone. This ultra-light, oil-free lotion hydrates without leaving an oily residue. here are a whole bunch of choices http://tinyurl.com/yol9vl

Karen, I don't follow golf, but I know that Tiger won his game Sunday. He was 8 strokes ahead of second place. I also endorse Clinique. It is expensive but well worth the money.

Cetaphil is the most recommended by dermatologists. http://www.cetaphil.com/

Yep, cetaphil all the way. I have celtic skin, my dermatologist told me that only something like 3% of people have "celtic skin"--anyways, he (as well as the other one or two dermatologists that I have seen) recommended cetaphil. Aquafor is also very good for things like chapped cheeks, etc.

I have extremely dry skin and my dermatologist told me to NOT wear makeup except when it is absolutely neccessary and to NOT wash my face everyday with soap. Just use plain water. Any kind of soap dries out your skin even more.

Twinkie, you just brought up a memory for me. It was almost 20 yrs ago and a group of women I worked with were discussing skin care. I was saying that my dermatologist told me that you wash your face at night, remove all makeup, put on a light moisturizer. In the morning do NOT wash your face except maybe to splash a little water and pat dry. He said that if you need to wash your face after sleeping on a pillow for 8 hours you have some bigger issues then skin care. LOL One of the young girls completely flipped at this. She is one of those who does a multiple step skin program morning and night. Maybe she was upset at having wasted all that money. LOL Anyway, just wanted to back up your post. PS I use Oil of Olay cream cleanser but I have also been told Cetaphil is one of the best products.

I use Oil of Olay exfoliating cream cleanser at night, then in the morning, I slap on some sunscreen and an day time eye cream before I put on any make up, and my makeup is a light coverage and SPF 18.

Thanks all for your input! I never wear makeup -- if I do, it's liner and mascara only -- and usually only wash with Lever in the shower at the end of the day. I've never really minded the dry skin but now with this new job, it's much more face-to-face with clients than my last position, and the flakiness of the skin can't be a good selling point when I'm pitching something, LOL. Maybe I'll try the Olay... if I can get past the whole "smelling like my Mum" thing. Has anyone tried that Noxzema foaming facewash? I wanna be a Noxzema girl. Noxzema girls get noticed. (lol, can you tell I work in advertising?) ETA: Don't worry about the 2nd question I had about Tiger Woods. Thanks for the input though, Serenity! I was trying last night to write a press release for a website we just launched at work and wanted some quick info on his recent game. Anyone with kids aged 13 - 18 should check out Tiger's Fist Pump Challenge.

Dipo, my ex said he checked several maps and couldn't find it on any of them. He thinks, though, that it might branch off of the San Miguel Creek.

Anyone ever travel on a plane with a carseat? I am in a position of having to travel (alone) with a carseat and a baby. I am worried about transporting the carseat and baby into the plane. How can one person carry so much. I will call the airlines, but I would also like to hear any firsthand stories and/or any suggestions. Thanks! You can answer here or in the Community Corner/Getting to Know You/Travel thread...

I'm thinking Spy didn't use a carseat but she had his stroller. Not totally sure though...

I was sort of thinking along those lines too, Mocha. Aren't there strollers made that the carseat part comes off? Then you could get her into the plane in the stroller, pop off the carseat, and put the rest of the stroller in the overhead compartment.
