Agreed! Although I wonder if dampness in general may have been an issue too. (That was a big part of the issue with my relative, the skin under the ring was chafed from not getting properly dried, plus metal rubbing on it, presto staph infection.) If this gal is like a lot of us, she might have been tying up wet hair…

A relative of mine got a staph infection from not taking off her ring when washing her hands. Caused the skin to get a little raw and then the metal from the ring made it much worse. Happened in less than a week. She caught it in time only because she went to the dr for the rash and he recognized what was happening,…

Ps, I too have a cousin rallying against welfare and government “handouts”....yet her family was on assistance when she was growing up because she has a half dozen sibs. But that’s fine because they’re white. Poc? They’re just having kids to get a check!

Ugh right?! Yeah same here. There’s the main offenders who are always walking/stepping over the line and then suddenly there’s a whole new crop of assholes. Is Trump a hypnotist? I’m desperate for an explanation of how even the most idiotic conservative could subscribe to his agenda. It’s nothing more than venomous…

Hear, hear!!!

Oh yes. I know the type. A few of the people I’ve had to remove from my fb are like that, people who I’ve always known to be overall decent people suddenly spouting this insane shit. It’s so so disappointing but also infuriating because you know they’re capable of being better than that. I hid one woman who is very…

Ugh!! Well she sounds just horrible. And I know what you mean, it’s like life is suddenly a crazy fever dream. When did all these people turn into drunk uncles??

Yeah it’s not worth sanity. And unfollow is great for not having to drag the people you have in common into it. But nothing feels as good as a delete.

I’m really not easily offended, and I wasn’t trying to paint you as anything. Since you’re also someone who cancels last minute you know there are people who don’t get it and sometimes respond in an insensitive way without realizing it. Or sometimes they do know and are jerks. Really sorry I ruined your joke, have a…

Me too. I’m somewhat horrified at how many undercover racists and xenophobes have revealed themselves on my fb feed lately. I miss none of them and I may not have a rage stroke after all!

You really nailed it then. I had someone in my life who often made a really big deal over things like that even though they knew I was struggling with it. Glad to know you’re not like that ;)

I do love that swoopy bang look with short hair, it’s a really cute look and it amazingly works on both younger and older women. I wish that had been stylish back when I was pixied because I think it would have made me feel more comfortable with having my face “out there” so much. Alas, I was barely out of my teens…

I feel you, sister!

How long is your hair currently? My cousin is a stylist and always recommends taking a step in between long hair and short hair, like a bob, because if you don’t like it that short you won’t like it shorter. Also, is your hair baby fine like hers? Texture and thickness can make a huge difference with that particular…

Sounds like maybe your friend has pretty severe social anxiety.

Huh. So it seems nothing has changed since then.

I would eat the Devil all day every day if Sky Daddy wouldn't smite my ass with the fat of the righteous.

Yes! Same with a burial at sea. There’s a service available on the east coast that will do a full burial at sea, aka, whole body into the drink, not just spreading ashes(but they do that too). I can’t find the link but I read a story a few months ago about a woman who did this for her dad. He had lived near the shore…

Indeed! I hope to never return to the dark realm of retail work. Though I’m still involved with customer service, which is bad enough even when contained to the telephone.

I wish I could star this more than once.
