I used to shop at Ulta more because there’s one in town, instead of out at the mall for Sephora, but Sephora has the “must-have” spendy stuff like Hourglass Ambient lighting powder and blush, Becca undereye lightener stuff, etc. Ulta has a nice selection of drugstore brands, but I can pick those up at a Target run...

I am one the Amazon Vine Voices, and I get free stuff (taxable) to review for them. I got several vacuums over the years, and a related model is the one I kept and I even gave away one I bought. It’s perfect for my house--I have 2 1/2 levels, with a flight of carpeted stairs and two of hardwoods, hardwoods downstairs…

They don’t elicit evidence they *know* to be bullshit. They live in the prosecutor silo, along with law enforcement, and they get a mindset that whoever is the cops’ choice for whodunit, did it. They forget that their job is to ensure that justice is done--they zealously prosecute. As a result, their bullshit meters…

Hey, if I had a great cook, I’d be cool with it, but my husband will cook supper if I tell him what to cook. Yay! I can’t be bothered to plan in depth any more.

I am super liberal, but the people here are so warm and kind, for the most part. I don’t like hot weather, but everywhere is air-conditioned, so....come on down!

Good to know! Thanks! I figure it would be a cost effective way to stock up on travel sizes.

We vary the seasonings, but find that automating our meals simplifies our lives, and keeps us on a healthier diet than having to deal with temptation. Obviously, YMMV

I follow several neighborhood Facebook pages, and attend lots of community meetings, as well as just hanging and schmoozing.

Down here, Yankee is as Yankee does—by which I mean, you act ugly, folks might think you are either a Yankee or red neck trash. In my fair city (Columbia, SC---and my hometown, Aiken, SC), we have no problem with people who are from somewhere else who behave in a civilized manner....

I do most of my food shopping every six days at our Sam’s. We (my husband and I) eat the same salad every day for lunch: 1/2 each: head of romaine, colored bell pepper, Euro cuke, Vidalia onion in season, 1/6 box of Campari tomatoes, with olive oil and balsamic vinegar (I buy *that* in big jugs on Amazon). He has…

But then again, you don’t honk and yell WTF much around here. Y’all act like Yankees, well.....;)

Lordy, I hear about plenty--active in neighborhood and city community stuff, and there’s some f-ed up stuff going on, but....

Well, there is the code for men that says you can’t have obviously dyed hair or obvious plastic surgery or fillers (which way too many celebs do)

You can use hair chalk on the white...

Good for you! Nearly jet black hair usually looks horrible when it’s dyed anyway, and the roots are a nightmare. I love my silver streaks and get tons of compliments.

I was thinking of checking out the local ramen place, but I cannot abide slurping, so I guess I will have to pass.

Yes!!! I bought it!

Yes!!! I bought it!

I have lived here for about 40 years, and never heard of such a thing. I am sorry that happened to you, but it is exceedingly rare.

And Hanukkah, too. We are grateful for your discretion

Why is there a crowd in my oven? Am I the Gingerbread House Witch?
