I’m from North Dakota originally, and this sounds about right. I recommend glove warmers and boot warmers, and ugly-but-functional winter gear. Don’t trust cutesy stuff that works in milder climates, because it’s made for form, not function. You basically want a body-shaped sleeping bag and no visible skin. …

With some modification, I do sort of agree with him on one thing. I think a lot of cissexual and heterosexual men don’t understand the feeling of penetration, and can be frustrated when their partner isn’t “ready” quick enough or doesn’t like the idea of “duty sex”, because for lots of people, penetration has the…

Not to defend him, but that desciption of r/childfree isn’t really accurate. It’s really more a bunch of people circlejerking about how smart and great they are not to have kids, how irritating young children and entitled parents are, and questions on how to deal with family harassing you about children. Also, a…

Oh, no! It’s very good advice, and you don’t know me from Adam, so I appreciate the concern!

Yep, I’m reducing under supervision :) I wouldn’t do it on my own!

This was quite some time ago, so perhaps something’s changed! :D They just said that curly textures were harder to maintain, so they preferred straight hair.

I’ve actually been toying with the idea of when I finally cut mine, I might sew them into a wig base. I’ve accidentally cut one off and sewed it back into itself, so they do hold up that way.

It’s actually pretty tough to donate hair! It has to be a certain length, never have been dyed, and they don’t love “ethnic” and/or curly hair. I tried to donate my hair when I cut it off - almost 9-14 inches (depending on how tight my own curls were), and I was turned down. So now, my giant braid lives in some box…

Absolutely. I have panic disorder and social anxiety (I feel like the latter is the “trendy” thing now and I’m embarrassed to say it because I’m worried that people will think I’m just oversensitive or faking it), and I’m reducing my dosage to see how I handle it. I’m going from 40mg/day of paroxetine to 20mg/day,…

The creator of Pepe, Matt Furie, says that he should be a happy and nice frog, and he pushes back with “Peaceful Pepes”. Somehow, this makes me happy. I felt maybe others would also enjoy it.

“I love Jesus, but I drink a little.”

This has been my joke about white supremacy for a while - yes, my race is the best. The best at getting sunburned in 20 minutes.

I’m just sort of shocked that a LiveJournal community is still up and kickin’ the way that ONTD is, and didn’t change platforms.

I am right there with you. I don’t want to hug children, either. I am just a non-hugger. It feels much too intimate and makes me feel quite anxious and jittery. I’m working on setting boundaries in therapy, and just the other night, I side-stepped a hug from someone that I really didn’t want. He was offended and…

Honestly, I was surprised at how much I liked it. I wasn’t a huge fan of the original (not because I didn’t like it, but because I watched it with the biggest of fanboys, and they can ruin just about anything), so it was just sort of a fun, silly movie to me. It delivered on the most important things it promised:…

I was scandalized when I went to a number of castles/exhibits and saw people taking the weapons off the walls and handling them, lifting stuff up off the tables, etc. Then I learned that a lot of castles put in reproductions, because they want it to be interactive and draw tourists, and I was slightly less…

I make noodle sandwiches, too. I used to buy the $1 frozen vegetable lo mein bags and the $1 discounted bread in the grocery store and make sandwiches out of it. They were not beautiful, but they were very tasty. And carb-tastic.

I agree, and I feel like this is a different, controlled kind of vulnerability. Yes, you are vulnerable when you travel, but it’s also fun and exciting (though it can be both lonely and scary, too). It’s vulnerability in an external sense - there’s a goal, there are things to work on, it’s more concrete, like learning…

I use Dr. Bronner’s on my head, and while I like its effect on my hair (I have dreadlocks), it just dries my skin out too much and I get flaky and itchy. But it’s great for someone with less-sensitive skin!

Haha, you certainly are terrible, and I can see how your children suffer with all those cool trips! My parents never took us to Disney, and honestly, it wasn’t a big deal. I went once as an adult, because some friends planned a group trip, and honestly, it was kinda overwhelming and I felt quite uncomfortable most of…
