I just don't feel the nauseous, top 'sposed to be puking lady. Are you blowing on a burn on your hand?

Erin, I really understand why you feel like this. I don't think you should need to apologize for these feelings. They make sense.

My hair is mid-butt length and very thick. If I try to make a ponytail with a scrunchie, I don't even have to start walking and the weight of the tail will start making the scrunchie migrate to the floor. If I use a scrunchie to make a "bun," and I jog briskly upstairs, the "bun" will shake itself out very quickly…

Yeah, some unhappy combination of these things.

In some places, brief swimwear is boring, normal guy swimwear. When you go to the beach, you just see men in brief swimwear doing boring, normal person-at-the-beach stuff (swimming, taking a walk, having lunch, getting a tan, playing with kids). However, change the location, change the local culture, and the guy in…

Oh, winky winky indeed.

I order my milk from the Udder Milk Dairy Farm. They sell lots of good food: milk, pastured meat, butter, raw honey, fermented vegetables, eggs, and the prices aren't too bad. I live in Manhattan and this cool dude just delivers to my house in his truck — they might deliver to your neck of the woods as well. …

I've tried them and they work pretty well. You just have to take your time when you remove them, because they sometimes pull a few strands out if you're not careful. Just let them roll down your hair and you're good.

I have a lot of love in my heart for dad humor.

You, my friend, are pretty sharp :)

Especially around a big sock bun!

I'm glad you've found some good stuff that tastes delicious but doesn't make you feel sick! I am also a big fan of goat and sheep cheese — so wonderful. I'm buddies with a couple that has a goat farm in New York, but they only have meat breeds. I keep telling them they should start with some dairy and I'd keep them…

That's super interesting! Thanks for sharing what you've read with me, that's some very awesome food science.

See, for decoration, scrunchies work, but they are not functional by themselves for me.

OMG are you me?!! My ballet teacher firmly instructed me that scrunchies are decorative ONLY. Now, I'm that ballet teacher!

Sorry to hear that :( I don't have a casein allergy. It sounds like a ton of no-fun-no-fun.

Yup. Everybody upthread who's saying "oh, but scrunchies are functional!" cannot possibly have long, thick hair. The scrunchie will be beat down by gravity and slide down the ponytail as soon as I start to move. I can only use a scrunchie OVER a regular hair tie, and that's sort of stupid and redundant. …

It has been mostly older folks who think my name is really hilarious, but some younger folks, too. I'm glad that the people named Krishna that you know are being treated with respect.

Thank you for that!

Thank you, I appreciate that.
