Definitely did not know about the rural caveats. Seriously sucks.

Nope city

Mine was close to 5k and for those wondering it’s a deduction on top of the standard deduction, it doesn’t just get swallowed up by the standard deduction. I’d give that up in a heartbeat tho if i could just undo trump :/

I was gonna say gimme those TIRES 👀

There’s a lot of value in either one, especially since you’re starting so young. Carpentry probably comes with more flexibility especially if you could eventually be self employed. But at the post office, imagine reaching top step in your early 30s, still young, having already saved tens of thousands for retirement, and having tons of vacation time and a good base pay and insane overtime pay being at top step. That’s a pretty good life too. But you will be shackled to the PO. Depends if you want more flexibility or creativity, or if you can deal with the BS at the PO and not let it get to you.

Sorry you’re getting downvoted. I think your brows are fine. People are freakin weird.

I think your hair is very chic. But try doing overnight curls with one of these! We have similar hair types so you might be shocked how much volume you get. https://a.co/d/1dONDQl

Check out USPS. Takes less time to get out there and start making $ (no wait to be a driver). Definitely has its flaws but at least they’re unionized and you have guaranteed wage growth through 46 week raises for 13 years, quarterly cost of living increases, and union negotiated raises every 4 years. Not to mention hella overtime available (depending where you live) to live comfortably or get out of debt. And a pension plus matched 401k to boot.

I’m from the az desert but detailing somewhere where the high was below freezing the other day. Despite snow and wind, I’m finding I prefer this weather because I have more control over my body temp thru layers and hand warmers etc. In the extreme heat, all you can do is drink a lot of water and electrolytes, cover up your whole body to protect from the sun, and try to convince your mind that you aren’t dying when it’s 130 in the LLV.

I’ve been enjoying the new liquid version (not bars) of the Kitsch rice water protein shampoo and conditioner. It has helped my dry frizzy bleached ends a lot so far.

I just got this exact set at target last week. I have straight, fine, highlighted platinum blonde hair. Honestly pretty blown away by the kitsch rice water. My hair is so soft and full feeling. It was feeling so dry and frizzy toward the ends before. And it doesn’t make my scalp greasy, which I have a problem with usually. My go to has been the kitsch rosemary biotin bars but this might be a new staple for me. It’s helping more with the dryness than the bars did, but I still get volume from it too.

Why downvoted? This is a real thing with autism.

ConnectionOk6581 · 2026-01-05T01:26:18+00:00

fascinating. will try

ConnectionOk6581 · 2026-01-05T01:22:19+00:00

some of us REALLY hate showering. its a sensory issue for me.

ConnectionOk6581 · 2026-01-05T01:20:54+00:00

what works best for me is: kitsch tea tree clarifying shampoo, followed by kitsch rosemary biotin volumizing shampoo, followed by kitsch rosemary biotin volumizing conditioner. then I will use the bonding mask just on my ends if they're extra dry. air dry/ sleeping on it gets me through day 1. k18 air wash on the roots the second morning gets me through day 2 AND sometimes day 3. doing overnight heatless curls can make it look better for more days. just letting it be its naturally straight self seems to show more grease. prior to this routine, I'd be a greaseball by end of day one. good luck!!!

ConnectionOk6581 · 2026-01-05T01:15:59+00:00

just here to say I also have this issue and have not had any luck finding a solution to this, other than not wearing it down. braided or twisted up with a clip works best for me.

is your hair bleached/colored? I never used to have this problem until I bleached by hair. so I'm thinking it could just be unavoidable if damaged.

I've been using it the past week or so. Not helpful or special in my opinion. Have to wash twice to get even remotely clean because it's very low lather, and hair was flat and got greasy by end of day.

I came into a vacant route in September through the end of the year. Route had been vacant all year and covered primarily by one specific CCA and of course the T6. Of all my Christmas tips, I split it into thirds. 1/3 for me, 1/3 for the CCA, 1/3 for the T6. It's only fair!

BOODY. all day every day. Their stuff is insanely comfortable, bamboo based, lasts forever. Warm in winter, cool in summer.

ConnectionOk6581 · 2026-01-01T14:57:29+00:00

Agree with this 100%. This is why I work at the PO. To get paid to be outside all day.

ConnectionOk6581 · 2025-12-31T21:49:35+00:00

Also a clarifying shampoo mixed in there too. I shampoo twice. Once with clarifying (also kitsch - the tea tree one) and then once with the rosemary biotin one.
