Um, not sure why you are talking about Korean beauty brands - this is Chinese. It’s made in Taiwan, FYI.

I agree! I’m also an organise by pile person so out of sight quite literally become out of mind. My best friend used to have fun looking at my disaster of a bedroom and saying “where is X thing?” and getting answers like “in the pile at the foot of the bed about 2/3rds of the way down.” I was right too.

I didn’t find it particularly useful since it’s my work space that needs to look “less messy.” As I told my boss, if I threw out the work that didn’t bring me joy (oh look another student transcript; I get no joy from processing this so throw it out instead!) I was sure my desk would be permanently cleaned out.

*shivers* Me too. That year I was in grad school in a very rural place and those stories thoroughly creeped me out as the wind rustled the forest around my dorm. That night, I woke up suddenly in the wee hours when my TV turned itself on and I didn’t sleep a wink the rest of the night. last Halloween I insisted on…

Not just psychological therapy but often physio and surgury too.

Fun fact! Guess which women as a population are more likely to suffer from sexual pain disorders? If you guessed women from very conservative/ fundamentalist religious backgrounds, you’re right... I can’t imagine how a ring is supposed to be this magical on/off switch that can change sex is a sin/evil/will kill you…

My friend is also in your riding and his mom went door to door in the apartment buildings that weren’t wheelchair accessible. She was telling an adorable story today about getting cheered and fist bumped by Kent Hehr’s mother when my friend told her she’d already voted liberal.

Wait it out if you can! My best friend had a reduction before kids and was right back to where she’d started after her first pregnancy, except without the plumbing in working order. The mere thought of milk engorgement with no physical way for that milk to get out is enough to send me rocking and crying in a corner.…

The woman in the gold ruched dress is glorious - she looks like a operatic diva performing the most heart wrenching aria known to humankind.

Congratulations!

Or any campaign that involves sensitivity to anyone but white men at all. The previous university I worked at had a campaign for summer session and had three different ads with three different messages: 1)get ahead 2) lighten your course load for the rest of the year 3) catch up.

Preach. The job I had after I finished my BA was with a company that had both a shop and an office in the same location. The cooling system was designed for men wearing clothes plus an overall in a shop that had two huge garage doors that were often open. I think the unit was set for maybe 5-10 C (normal room temp is…

As I recall, the remains of the diaper were pushed far under the desk so the fluffy poop came before the discovery of the cause of said fluffiness, otherwise I probably would have been on the phone with the vet as well. It was gross as heck to bag but it sounds like you had the grosser experience.

She’s a lab and tries to eat all sorts of disgusting things. Sometimes you just have to laugh. I’m not even sure if I’d classify a wet diaper as the worst thing she’s eaten, but it is right up there. There is a reason we have lidded trash cans in both the kitchen and the bathroom. She’s eaten pads and liners and even…

Maybe it’s a dog owner thing? I love my best friend dearly but I had to ask her to be sure to throw out used diapers in the bathroom, lidded trash can only after she left a dirty diaper in the room she slept in. My dog ate it, and pooped fluffy from the absorbent stuff for the next three days. Luckily she didn’t have…

My women’s studies class had a speaker in who worked with prostitutes to get into training programs. She herself was a former prostitute who had left the business so many of the women would talk frankly with her. The police had just recently announced a task force to look into the murders at long last, which myself…

I’m slightly ashamed to say that it took me a few months to figure out that the Cracker Barrel billboards I saw in the states were not for a restaurant that served nothing but cheese dishes. I think my imagination wins though. :)

Properly structured homestay programs also very much constitute living abroad! Of course these are the ones where students are brought into the family, not treated as a boarder or fee paying guest. Important difference. ;) My first exchange was with Rotary when I was in high school and we switched homestay families…

Travel is not a magical panacea that will make you better, more interesting, or more cultured. Just because you’ve been someplace for a few days/weeks doesn’t mean you’re an expert about it, and just because someone hasn’t been there doesn’t mean they know nothing about it. Travel stories should be about sharing…

Yes, it does have a lot to do with what you’re doing. Did you get into a local daily routine with school or work etc? Speaking as an international education professional, the students we send on exchange do live abroad. They directly enrol in the partner university and live in residence or apartments etc. They make…
