vicissitudes of the viscera

So get glasses. My last pair lasted 3 years and some people can make them go for 5 or more.

Glasses are SUPER low-maintenance. Do eet.

Apparently Queen E is the one that dictates she must wear dresses to all events - only the sport related ones (volleyball...) has she worn jeans.

That isn't exactly true. Take a look at the history of standardization of women's sizes. For mens clothing, the armed forces went a-measuring and found most men did fall into particular ranges for each chest size (with regular and long divisions) - this is how mens suits are still sized. For women's clothing, no such…

take a look at the new underpant options. There's shorts made of pantyhose nylon, smooth synthetics, cotton blends, or for less fitted there's pyjama shorts and tap pants, etc. http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/yummie-tummi… I never ever wear skirts/dresses without shorts because of thigh rub.

I agree, napi-san for sure.

I take mine to my knife sharpener. worth it!

Yes another vote for baking soda face scrub. Sometimes I do this all natural routine. Make a mask of natural honey. Rinse. Wash with baking soda. Moisturize with coconut oil. All 3 are so gentle!

Remember the 90s? Even shorts were full coverage. Crop tops were scandalous and for trendy young teens only. Almost nothing was skin tight. You could actually wear overalls in public. Teens weren't expected to be sex kittens! What a concept.

Don't know if sarcastic, so it was Sojourner Truth http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sojourner…

it's a rust penetrant, which is why it sucks as a straight lubricant.

I did skip-the-placebo for three or four months at a time for two years. Loved being on an even keel.

33. Pads are less trouble I think. Right now I'm loving the Always Infinity.

Something about being plus size, and California winters, means I have three favorite coats. All are wool pea coats. For San Francisco weather I really liked a full length wool coat. Below are the two brands I've been wearing.
