Women go overseas for plastic surgery, get stuck when faces no longer match passports

Vanity seems to reside in every culture. I at least hope they were not trying to look more like the Kardashians.

Yikes. I've seen enough episodes of Botched to know that you should NEVER leave the country to have plastic surgery. It's a recipe for disaster.

Medical travel is a booming business and is often a great savings to the patient.
Plastic surgery is usually a laxly regulated sub specialty and, as always, there are risks.
On foreign centers there is often a great deal of information available since reputations are their only asset.

some thoughts on the California wildfires:

*Cal. wine , never cheap, will really be expensive soon

*the death toll will soon match Puerto Rico and may dwarf it, with 400 now missing!

*seems to me this is not the usual region for the area to have wildfires? are people in that area not used to escaping from the danger?

I suppose big wildfires are the Darwinian solution for people who wait around to the last minute, or can't get their ass in gear. Probably second only to tornadoes for coming in fast.

Small wildfires with little wind you can walk away from. But not these kind.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

The reports of fatalities that I have read seem to involve elderly or disabled folks. Very sad.

Elderly, disabled, or simply lacking their own vehicle or the ability to drive. Sometimes its a matter of lifestyle: they are not glued to TV sets or radios all day long.

Why did Trump have to go an label Iran's guard as terrorists? http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-10-13/trump-invites-crushing-response-after-designating-irans-revolutionary-guard-terroris

Germany, UK, France and Russia disagree. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-10-13/germany-uk-france-and-russia-slam-trumps-decision-decertify-iran-deal

Iran should have known better than to ever, ever sign any treaty with the US looking at her past history of never keeping one single treaty yet.
The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW
