It did say glittery hair tie, and that usually means scratchy, which means lots of nice micro cuts to the skin that don’t get to heal.

Well, it said glittery. That usually means scratchy/sharp. And my RN husband has shared all sorts of horror stories about where nasty infections can come from. If you permanently have a bunch of micro-cuts on the skin of your wrist, you could get it from anywhere. Resting your arm on any public surface, to start...

You might also look into hibiclens. My husband is an RN and loves it for whenever he is grossed out at work. Just do NOT mix it with bleach or it makes awful stains.

Me too...

I remember my grandmother (about a decade ago) had some reason why she thought carbonation was a huge problem... I think this was it:

You can reserve redbox movies online. Just reserve the one you want.

The judge settled that it is her child. Just as much as if she had adopted the child and a week after signing the papers decided “nope”.

The company my husband used to work for was bought by an Israeli company and had similar but informal versions of the same problems.

I am guessing it isn’t so much about showing off to impress women as feeling like they need to perform masculinity when with women.
