    I just moved into an apartment that sat vacant for ~6months, and there are weird crawly wormy things? Like slow brown silverfish? They can get through my carpet so they escape me like half the time! They laid their damn stupid eggs in my vacuum cleaner!

    We should be getting about $300 back this year (not because we overpaid, but because I threw some money at an RRSP to make sure we wouldn't owe anything) and the plan is to put half of it to Boring Savings (retirement or car replacement) and half of it to Fun Savings (travel or home improvement).

    You forgot about cornbread waffles.

    You chose to concentrate on making fun of $15/h seeming like lots of money to get? Yeah, $15/h is TONS of money to someone used to making minimum wage. We recently went up to making $15/h and you know what our life is like now? We are straight up never afraid about money any more. We saved enough for a down payment on

    I mean, here in Canada we control Canada Geese populations by shaking their eggs real hard to break the yolks so they can't reproduce, but I guess if you think it's more fun to impale them in front of other young teens...

    Whoops, the last nylon necklace I made I used superglue to hold the knots! Hopefully it doesn't melt it.

    For necklaces I usually use "tiger tail" which is wire wrapped in clear plastic so the wire won't bother me. And the clasp is so small and hidden behind my hair that I don't usually worry about it. I just got some superfine nylon thread but haven't used it really yet because I've had so much trouble with getting it to

    I am actually hella allergic to stainless steel AND sterling silver AND actual real silver (but I'm apparently a rarity from what I've heard from everyone else ever). I once made a silver ring in a class that I then couldn't wear cause it made me all green and itchy! The only jewelry I've ever owned that hasn't made

    That's really nice, but I'm laughing at the idea that it wouldn't turn my neck green, it's the same stuff they sell pre-made and people with metal allergies will still have metal allergy reactions to it (source: I've been making jewelry for 10 yrs and am allergic to srsly everything I can afford to make)

    One of my three cats might survive in the (urban) wild. The other two would hide under something until they starved. Of course, the wilder one wouldn't survive a zombie apocalypse because she would walk up to them loudly demanding treats and affection. But a regular apocalypse, maybe. If nobody eats her.

    Voodoo.

    Why have you only provided ONE photograph of a silly pigeon? I know there must have been many more that could have been included for my personal viewing pleasure.

    In the case of the shampoo suggestion, it actually does dry out most peoples' skin. And if you're not a doctor you shouldn't be suggesting things that are intended to treat real medical issues when someone asks for beauty advice, especially when they are designed to work in the opposite way as is wanted. If these

    I'm not dead set against oil-based stuff I just don't want to straight up slather pure oil on myself because I know I'd feel like I had to wash it all off very quickly which would pretty much defeat the purpose. I meant like, don't advise me to run off to my kitchen and cover myself in olive oil or go buy coconut oil

    I don't use toner and I honestly am a bit gross and don't even use soap on my face 95% of the time, just water and either a cloth for just my face or my hands if I'm showering. This is why I'm so confused, I don't do anything to take away oils and I've put on moisturizer twice today and my face is still flaky, it's

    That is a dandruff shampoo. Dandruff is flakes on your head which are yellowish and oily, caused by (depending who you ask) fungus/oil/yeast/bacteria. Dry white flakes are from dryness, which shampoos such as head and shoulders make significantly worse due to having harsher ingredients in their attempt to clean away

    I have dry flaky skin on my forehead and around my mouth. I put on (neutrogena water-based) face moisturizer and then two hours later I have dry flaky skin again. What gives? What am I supposed to do? I got new moisturizer because I thought it might be because I had embarrassingly old moisturizer but nope, that was

    Why would a company pay for ads when they know for a fact that the person won't be looking at them because they're running/biking?

    No, I definitely wouldn't have done that.

    This lady....cannot tell that she's digging her own grave? Seriously? And she's been given several podiums despite obvious lack of ability to think critically?
