For future reference, shaving will result in stubble, which will feel that much worse. Waxing is the way to go for unwanted facial hair. Hopefully you'll never need this info.

I wouldn't want 'reply all' to be a default, except in certain situations. But, yes, your point about "group of people who all need to be kept in the loop" is a very good one. I regularly collaborate with a few different sets of artists/programmers, and we all need to share discussion information. Someone is always…

I never got any weight loss with topamax! I'm really disappointed I didn't at least get that out of it - it did reduce the frequency of my migraines, but after 2 years I went off it because I developed problems with word recall. I'm back to relying on Excedrin + extra caffeine and Maxalt for knocking out my migraines.…

Yep, the water here in Southern California tastes like a swimming pool. It's perfectly healthy, but it causes an involuntary gag reflex in me. I seriously don't understand how some people can drink it straight from the tap - or that some restaurants serve it unfiltered. We have a Brita filter attached to our kitchen…

Sigh, yes, this was my feeling around the holidays until we stopped visiting my husband's family. I'm a literal orphan now (Mom and Dad had me in their 40s and have both passed away), so now the only "family" I have are my inlaws, who make nonstop passive-agressive comments about my husband leaving home and moving to…

This might be what gets me to put up Christmas lights. Has anyone actually tried it on stucco?

I do! Claritin, every day. I think this is the breakthrough discomfort that nothing will stop, minus me moving to Antartica where there is no pollen in the air.

I have the WORST habit of rubbing my eyes and my nose a lot without realizing it. I think it's allergies. I need to break this habit like yesterday.

I always take the shampoos & conditioners home with me - perfect to take to the gym shower. They last a surprisingly long time - at least a month. I guess I just don't use a lot. Or maybe I should work out more.

Yes, at the really nice hotels I've stayed in, the bathrobes are hung up and ready for use, but there is a discrete card that says you will be charged $75-100 if you want to take it home with you. Errhgh, why would I pay the new price for a used bathrobe? I have a lovely plush one of my own at home that no one else…

It's only those little ones that give me trouble - they manage to float around and escape the general current of water going down my throat. After taking tons of medication in different forms since my early adulthood, I can now take a handful of pills at a time with one swig of water or coffee in the morning. But the…

I did use the Target 5% back offers for a while when I got my prescriptions filled there - but I had to admit to myself at some point that it was encouraging mindless extra spending on my part. I swear every time I went to pick up my prescriptions, there would be one that wasn't filled, so I'd wander around the store…

A few years ago, I was in Manhattan consulting with a plastic surgeon to get a breast reduction. He was the best of the best, so I traveled there to make sure it was done right. His office was in a swanky part of town. I was wearing a nice crewneck sweater and slacks, and he wrote in my chart "Patient is clean and…

I had the chest-minimizing-hunched posture too. Took a whole year of yoga before I could walk with my shoulders back, and even now I'll catch myself hunching forward.

Sadly, this absolutely does not work for me. Doesn't matter what clothes I'm wearing/ glasses or contacts/ make-up or not/have a cold, they don't care. I'm undeniably female and so I'm going to be a target for this BS.

I wear saddle shoes all the time and feel great about it. If you want to do it, do it! For a few years in the 90s, Hush Puppies made some gorgeous suede saddle shoes in different colours. Now I just get regular old black and whites on Amazon.

I must have had his brother for Animal Physiology (same light-blue Western shirt with chalk stains in the armpits and tan khakis every day).

timgray might be talking about slaters 50/50? https://slaters5050.com/

Yes on the need for a tissue (I never know when it will hit - a grocery store, movie theatre, library...) and also I *Need* to carry a lip balm since I have chronically chapped lips. It's freaking RIDICULOUS that there isn't any room in my pockets for a lipbalm. The very definition of useless. Don't even get me…

Yes, GOD. I was just coming here to say this (although I do agree with virtually everything else in the article). Please don't encourage more randos to think that talking me up on the metro is a good idea. I didn't get on a train to be part of the great human tapestry - I just want to get downtown without battling…
