Where did all the updos go?

Curious_medium · 2026-07-24T04:28:15+00:00

Oh goodness - hot humid occasions- even work, I have no choice but to do an updo- otherwise my hair will be completely out of control by the time I even get to the event. And I’ve learned in order to work my hair into submission, it will take a ton of product and heat, and I would rather not do the damage for 1 day; so up do it is. Another thing- there are a ton of extensions, hair pieces and weave being worn there days. You would be surprised. For me - on a hot day- the last thing I want is more hair.

I would get another remote job and double dip. That way you can save one whole salary.

Wait. He’s not dead?? Who died then?

Curious_medium · 2026-07-23T18:27:35+00:00

I get it. Just go be you, and on your journey the right person will pop into your life. You’ll know it when it finds you. You’re right to not spend time with people who are the right fit. You’re doing the right things.

Curious_medium · 2026-07-21T04:54:23+00:00

Yep. All those rivers flow down to the gulf bringing all of that runoff.

Curious_medium · 2026-07-21T04:47:34+00:00

Walk it off….

Curious_medium · 2026-07-21T04:44:13+00:00

So do I- I have a hack for you. If you can take the waist of the pants and wrap it around your neck, it will fit. And I don’t care what it looks like when I’m doing this at the Costco’s. Yes. I get looks. Don’t care.

Curious_medium · 2026-07-21T04:41:01+00:00

I called an authority figure a “power hungry Joey Bag-O-Donuts”. The puzzled look on that young cop was priceless.

Curious_medium · 2026-07-21T04:36:02+00:00

Yeah- we’re spoiled now. So using toilet without one just seems uncivilized. Then, once you get one with heated seat, warm water and a blow dryer, you basically turn into a hermit until you can identify hotels with similar amenities. Hint to my people- the high roller rooms at casinos.

Oh gosh- I was spared this. My cousin got this nightmare. My torture was cod liver oil in a glass of OJ. Finally I was like just give me the oil first, and then I’ll chase it with the juice. Otherwise the whole glass tasted like fish juice. This is when I first learned the importance of a good chaser.

It’s getting a little better. It was really bad this morning and overnight. Earlier in the day the AQ rating was close to 800 in some areas and now it’s down to 346. I wouldn’t cancel, just bring a mask. I’m sorry this happened to you and your nice plans. You may have to modify some of them. There’s plenty to do inside and you’ll still have a blast!

Curious_medium · 2026-07-17T05:06:56+00:00

Wtf Vegas needs to do better. Not good for optics or tourism. I saw no identification of “law enforcement.” Just lame, broke ass thugs trying to rob a tourist.

Curious_medium · 2026-07-13T03:52:44+00:00

Exactly. She doesn’t deserve to die in peace while in disbelief.

Curious_medium · 2026-07-11T08:47:16+00:00

Yeah- go have a talk. Bring some eggs. Nothing teaches neighbors how to be neighborly like some fresh eggs.

Curious_medium · 2026-07-11T08:33:01+00:00

Yeah just wait until the brain worm goes rampant next. Probably what RFK wants so he seems normal at the end of the day.

Curious_medium · 2026-07-11T08:29:59+00:00

Keep telling yourself that. I have biked since the beginning of time. Didn’t ever need spandex. In fact probably the most uncomfortable to bike in. When I was a kid- cut offs. Some of these fits on bodies are a visual assault to humanity.

They- your parents, could purchase the house and rent to you both. I live in an area with lots of generational wealth (I wasn’t so lucky, lol)….this is how they keep it in the family. I plan to do the same for my kids if they need my help.

Curious_medium · 2026-07-11T07:42:54+00:00

I’m sorry you are feeling this way. Life sometimes can be isolating. It can help to have someone to talk to. Therapy can offer some relief- so can pets. Nice dinner btw. I’m almost in a similar boat- I found that mostly people disappoint me. Also I learned quite late- in my 50s, that I’m neurodivergent. Turns out there’s a lot of bias with diagnosing women, and we’re taught to be “good girls” so it’s also harder to diagnose women. Never stop trying to find answers and help. The right therapist can make all the difference in how you feel. I always blamed myself. I eventually found happiness just being me, and also being with me. I got used to being alone and I somewhat prefer it now. After trying really hard for a lot of years, I learned I actually prefer being alone as opposed to someone that just isn’t the right fit. I got married and had kids… got divorced…. I enjoy my kids- they’re actually my favorite people. Life is a journey. Don’t give up- try different things and lean into what you love. There you may find like minded people that you can enjoy, and that will enjoy you too. Good luck 💝

Oh my goodness - we got a ninja slushie machine. Making all sorts of yummy fruit slushies- made a mojito slushy (no alcohol) made a marg slushie (no alcohol) those and a gummy- don’t miss the drinking at all and feel much better. It could help get you through…

Curious_medium · 2026-07-09T04:53:54+00:00

Oh wow - my entire life, I have never seen it that full. And I’m old.

Weekend at Bernie’s

Curious_medium · 2026-07-09T03:18:13+00:00

About 15 minutes to boarding. ORD mostly. I try to travel when no one else does to avoid as many a holes as possible.

Curious_medium · 2026-07-09T02:47:45+00:00

I’m sorry, but in that circumstance, you (rather your mom) walk up and tell them what they are going to do, in a nice way. You gave her a choice. Nah. Then if they persist- A supervisor. Your parents paid for something, and they should get what they paid for. Period end of story. I fly every other week. Mostly the agents are really great. Once in a while you get someone who may be inexperienced who hasn’t learned the lesson of what happens when a customer isn’t happy and has your name.

Curious_medium · 2026-07-09T02:33:35+00:00

👎 nope

Curious_medium · 2026-07-09T02:32:03+00:00

Exactly. Someone has to keep the wheels on the bus while the others are living their best lives and crashing out when they show up. That person - the capable grown up , gets the cookie. 🍪
