How curly? Mine is what you’d probably call 2C and 3A and I love Curly Junkie’s Curl Rehab. It’s protein and glycerin-free, which is hard to find. I use it weekly for deep conditioning, but if my hair is super dry I’ll use it in place of my daily conditioner, and just squish to condish really well so it doesn’t weigh…

I must be weirdly shaped, because use of my lunette gave me symptoms so awful I was sure I had interstitial cystitis. Crying, bad. And I am not easily felled by painful situations.

There needs to be more epic friendship/love (however it shakes out) in TV in general. Spock/Kirk would be a great example of that. More!

Agree with your sentiments completely, especially regarding Clara. She has been my least favorite companion of NuWho, but the last few minutes of the episode killed me. My husband and I sat in silence for a bit letting it sink in. Easily the best episode this season. Capaldi...terrifying, fathomless.

Same boat. I have not yet found the answer. Our surnames are fairly long, so hyphenating is kind of unfair to the kid. If we were not so completely not Icelandic, I like the Icelandic convention of parentfirstname-dottir/son - because you can play around with that and no one seems to get upset. At least in Iceland.

This is precisely the situation I’m in after several years of marriage with having children on our radar. I also don’t know what we’re going to do. Not changing my name was the easiest thing! We just got married, and done. No additional paperwork or headaches. Got a joint bank account. Easy.

100% correct statement.

I feel the same way. I am on my fifth session for underarms/legs/bikini with three more to go and the progress amazes me. It’s also amazing how quickly I’ve forgotten how horrible I felt when I’d shave my legs only to have a five o’clock shadow by evening, or how embarrassed I’d get at the pool when I’d realize I’d…

If that’s the MUFE 4k liquid foundation, then it works fantastically if you’ve exfoliated and moisturized really well. I get rid of flakies in the shower and then when my skin is still moist pat/very gently rub in a light moisturizer. Give it a few minutes to sink in (not rub in) and I’m usually good to go with the…

Ha, yes. That and GomerBlog are staple reads around these parts!

I showed him a screenshot of your explanation and he said “roughly accurate.” Man of few words. :-)

Ha ha...Mr. Pink-14 is a neuro resident and started laughing when I read him that bit.

True story. I looooved my Lunette cup, but every time I used it, it triggered a flare up of interstitial cystitis shortly thereafter. So sad.

That struck me, as well. The “were they listening? Were they even paying attention?” Or something to that effect. An apology, without qualification, would have probably been better damage control than implying your audience is too stupid to understand.

I have done this on occasion because I once said “I’ll have the zin” on a glass list containing both and was brought white because “he assumed” which gave me many feelings about stereotypes about women and wine. I guess it’s lazy speech to not specify the vintner. But, you know, on a short glass list saying “the cab”…

My initial response is that it seems like she was having major problems and no one identified that she needed help. System failure. But I know these cases are often more complicated than face value, so I’m trying to not rush to judgment. I missed the discussion the first go around.

Gosh, yes. My sister just started work out of law school and is immediately making 3x what my medical resident husband makes. She whines, I tell her to stfu as I spend another night alone while Mr. Pink-14 is on call probably making the equivalent of $15/hour.

We have a joint bank account and inevitably make stupid jokes about who is picking up the tab even though it’s totally both of us regardless of which person’s card is used. It amuses us greatly!

Eh, on my first date with my now husband, I picked HIM up from campus because I had dorm parking and his was way out in an extended campus lot and that was the practical choice. He grabbed the check to pay for dinner and I said, “let me get the tip” and he said, “I’ve got it tonight.” I paid for our second date meal…
