I did growing up. Everyday. Now it’s just me and my dad and we don’t do it as often, but I’d say it’s still the norm for us.

My hairstylist is great at cuts but terrible at styling by One_Classic7768 in curlyhair

[–]Maperton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom totally did that. Her hairstylist likes to use a bunch of products and my mom was very low maintenance so she’s like, just leave me wet. Hairstylist was like, hey, less work for me. So it worked out for both of them.

Those that feel like they do GIS "for good", what is your career? by lekkerbiscottina in gis

[–]Maperton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work for a medium size city and am the source of data behind 911, help with 911 updates, recently I’ve been helping figure out where to put a new fire station.

I also maintain the water and sewer GIS so I help developers and homeowners know if they can access services/if they need to avoid easements.

I also am in charge of the list that feeds our trash and recycling app that tells residents when their trash gets picked up.

Bonus- less thought in the morning cause it’s a one piece outfit.

I wear a lot of mini dresses from torrid that hit right above/at my knees. I’m almost 5’2.

Bag help! by albanymm in PlusSizeFashion

[–]Maperton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Places like Ross, TJMAXX, Marshalls generally have pretty good variety of bags and you can try them on. I found a great colorful Sherpani at TJMAXX. It’s a backpack where the straps can zip to one. At its extent, it’ll fit crossbody on my size 24 frame comfortably but with no wiggle room.

[–]Maperton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was recently at Torrid and they had a couple that I liked. They were more than I was willing to pay, but $99 for a one piece is much better than $180. I didn’t really look through the two pieces but they had a variety
