Can you explain the purpose of the ankle monitors? I don't understand why these women are essentially still being treated as dangerous criminals :/

gross gross grosssssss. that is the literal most appalling thing to me. i hate the dentist and also flossing but if you have to be all up in people’s faces make sure there isn’t nastiness all over your teeth.

lol, she lives in a different time zone. I'm always careful!

I work in a very open floor plan office where everyone would be able to hear every minute of my conversation if I did that, and calling earlier puts me right in the middle of kiddo bedtime.

Killed? I live in California, it's not like I'm driving around with the phone stuck to my head, there's this awesome thing called hands free talking. But you be all worked up!

I am definitely that friend that only calls while I’m driving home from work. Sorry not sorry. It’s not using the phone as entertainment, it’s using the only real time I have available that’s after my best friend puts her kid to bed but before she puts herself to bed, and before I get home and have to hit the books to…

Yeah, this is my issue, too.

Every high school in southern California? lol.

I had been told that the suction was likely to cause expulsion, but apparently that’s incorrect!

Interesting! That’s good to know.

Me too!

I’ve been told that the suction could yank it out.

That’s also what I’ve heard.

I have an IUD, and am under the impression that menstrual cups aren't the wisest choice. I use pads. Woo!

I wish I lived in a laundry-spa!
Honestly, it’s mostly dealing with my hair - wash, condition, and rinse takes about 15 of my 30 minutes. The rest is washing my body and then probably about 5 minutes of contemplation regarding the meaning of life. If I don’t wash, it’s 15 minutes tops. It’s better now that my hair is…

This is exactly my life. I spend maybe 4 hours a day actually working on average - 6 if I have a big project to do or if I hit a nice groove, but nearly never 8 - and the rest of the time I’m either doing homework or fucking around on the internet. I’m just here for 8 hours a day because I need the money.

But we are mandated to reduce water usage by 23% and you will get a ticket for watering your yard on days that aren’t Monday or Friday, between 9 am and 5 pm, or for more than “10 minutes per station”.

Most washers now are highly efficient, and so it’s not as huge of an issue as it could be - but I’m trying to make myself feel better about my 30 minute showers by showering every other day and only doing three loads of laundry a week.

People who use the same towel all week are gross. Sorry not sorry.

I used to use washcloths, but then I stopped, because I find it necessary to use two (one for my face and one for my body) every single time I wash myself and that’s sort of excessive. We’re in a drought in California, I don’t need to do a load of just towels every week.
