or as Bill Hicks put it "fork in a microwave" :) dag. get better!

I had a friend all through school that was a red-headed Cajun. she apparently got ALL the pale genes in the family from all sides. one day in high school she jumped in the back of a friend's jeep to drive 3hrs to the Louisiana beach (at the time, LA drinking age was 18) instead of the 20 min to the local beach. Well,…

big floppy sun hat?

"as strong as the great typhoon"

burkini!!

wow, do you usually burn in, like, a minute? was in new sunscreen? (also, reapplying doesn't restart the clock, just keeps it from speeding up).

there's one near me I've seen, and it's pretty neat- basically looks like a fancy hotel with a few too many sockets, and there's a panel behind the bed that can be pulled down and BOOM, state of the art hospital. and for super hits the fan, right next door to one of the better hospitals in town (and the ob's with…

LOLZ.

in the fifth, it looks like she's scratching her anus on the knob-catch.

squee!

the mr and I buy rice in 10lb bags and keep it in a bin. we have a cheap little rice cooker that we'll use to make lots of rice to eat, as well as to put up tupperwares in the fridge and freezer. besides, carb is one of the 3 main macro-nutrients (along w/ protein and fat), so, I say Pbbbbbth to the rice haters (plus,…

do gentle circles with a washcloth, then pat the area with cold, wet tea bags, followed by good old aloe vera gel. you will still peel, but this should help it a bit.

if you are super worried, why not pick up some surgical type masks at the pharmacy? they are to keep you from spreading germs.

unless i'm really really made up (or wearing brightly colored fake hair), most true lipsticks look wrong and strange on me. I tend to go for tinted lip balm (like the burt's bees lip shimmer- i go for rhubarb color), because it's not a super solid color, more of me comes out through the color, just enhanced.

hm, perhaps not directly, but certainly aids and abets any proclivities in that direction :)
