Just received my first Glossy Box. Silly, but I loved the box - I can always use a high quality box for storage, etc. Love the BVLGARI hair conditioner, like the Julip nail polish, and am pretty much “meh” over the City Cosmetics complexion cream. Underwhelmed by the Skin Nutrition sample, and loathe the pure black…
My husband and I quit February 7th. I smoked for 38 years; he for 25 years. The worst part has been finding alternatives for the “meeting for a smoke”, touching base times. We were not getting along or in sync because we’d lost a large part of our communication time. It only took a few weeks for the money savings to…
My son just told me that $100 is the new $25, regarding entertainment/gift spending. (I was saying how expensive I thought the upcoming pay-per-view boxing is.) We tip 20% or more, but I am now thinking that we need to raise our standard wedding gift of $100 to $150 . . .
Love the Sephora brand Rouge Infusion in any color - stays on for hours! What do you think of Omorovicza skin care?
Oh man; I stopped eating mean almost twenty years ago (I will eat fish.) I still miss bacon. I stopped smoking a month ago. No bacon, no cigs - life isn't as fun.
Time out; the time out chair, steps, whatever. I've mentioned this before, but my 28 year old son still doesn't opt for the "time out chair" as seating - he says he's rather stand :).
As I sit here watching the circle of death spin during the regular afternoon slow down (for which I pay $100 a month to the devil, aka Comcast) I can only hope that anti-throttling will be enforceable.
Stupid question - how does that slip in? (To a TV news feed; I know the how it slips in otherwise.)
My husband is the person who annoys me the least of all people in the world.
For readers, there is Aloysius Xingu L. Pendergast and Lincoln Rhyme who fit the above description.
We took our son and his friend to see Green Day when they were around age ten. Ran into our son's friend 18 years later (he recognized us, we wouldn't have associated the huge fellow with the little guy we remembered) and the kid still remembered, with great joy and laughter, his first concert experience, including…
My Father was a Chief Warrant Officer, in the Navy from 1935 to 1958. Although he passed away two years ago at age 94, his mind was still sharp, and he often told us stories of the big guns on destroyers Drayton and Flusser. (He was also the fire control officer.) This article makes me wish he were here to read it -…
We choose the cheap, thin stuff because old house+shallow sewer pipe grade = constant plumbing issues with the good stuff.
The time-out chair works really well. (My 28 year old son still refers to the nice old chair used for that purpose as the time-out chair, and enjoys voluntarily sitting on it.) Hmm - that sounds kinky and odd. Just sayin' that a life-long learning tool doesn't need to include beatings . . . .
Card-carrying woman here: The bigger picture is that one can find examples of businesses of any stripe protecting their rain-making employees and/or their institutions (including religious organizations, a la the Catholic church and pedophile priests.) I'm equally concerned over the weirdly vacillating levels of…
You're back! I remember you from years ago - yippee!
Very nice chicken, good use of color!
Older Jezzie here, born in 1959. I grew up with parents who had martinis/Manhattans daily at cocktail hour. At age two, I - according to family legend - told the visiting pastor - "I'll get the gin." I can only drink whiskey/bourbon, gin or beer. Vodka, wine (white or red), rum, all make me ill. Nature or nurture?
That one always wins at our house.
Disclaimer: Old enough to have owned/worn them in the 1980's. Entrepreneurial Jezzies, would you please make a scrunchie with a smaller, tighter casing, maybe no wider than 1/2 inch? There - problem solved - easy on the hair and the sense of style.
