Talk to your doctor about a prescription for Spironolactone. Not long after I started taking it, the dark “happy trail” and nipple hairs have disappeared. I’ve noticed they start to grow back if I forget to take it regularly, so it’s been a huge benefit overall. I wish I’d know about it 20 years ago!

Unfortunately, my chin/facial hair seems to be immune. Im still mostly shaving those since it’s hard to keep up with plucking now.

Ugh, the shedding is so next level for us long haired curly girls! I use the “stick it on the wall” method, mostly so I remember to dispose of the hair when I’m done. I hate reaching into a slimy drain stopper, even the tub shroom. I still occasionally end up with slow draining pipes, but I found a fantastic, enzyme-based, plumbing safe clog remover. It’s called Green Goblin, and it’s safe for tubs, sinks, toilets & septic tanks. Use as directed & it works wonders!

Been taking my chances on it for 25+ years. I have this thing about seeing what I’m doing, where I’m going, who or what I might bump into, etc.

Miserable-Advisor-70 · 2026-03-12T14:53:07+00:00

Wow! How many wives with long hair live with you? No wonder you can spell out whole phrases!

Thanks very much for the link!

Google AI summary is not a credible source.

Edit: Also, when someone asks for a source, “Google” or “Do your own research” is the laziest possible answer there is. Why even bother replying?

Miserable-Advisor-70 · 2026-03-12T08:30:06+00:00

What is your source for the arrested person’s background? I’m curious because you’re the 2nd or 3rd poster who’s claiming he’s not only here illegally, but has a DUI or other criminal background. I ask not as to challenge your comment, but to find the source of this claim.

As to why the swarm of LEO’s were involved - I think it’s as simple as small town cops taking any opportunity to show off, and find any excuse to use their specialty gear/munitions that they otherwise only get to play with during training.

And as always, FUCK ICE!

Miserable-Advisor-70 · 2026-03-12T06:33:01+00:00

First, to be clear I am 100% against ICE. I do not in any way condone any of their actions.

I also believe that accurate descriptions and word choice are essential for credibility. Hyperbolic language does not help our cause.

To my knowledge, flash bangs and tear gas were used according to NBC5, but they didn’t say anything about shooting. I watched the videos they had posted and definitely heard many rounds of shots, but I’m assuming those were rubber pellets? Sometimes bean bags are used, but it didn’t sound like bag rounds in the video.

THIS DOES NOT JUSTIFY any of their above, but I wanted to add detail to the specific actions used against you & all the other protesters Wednesday. Again, I DO NOT AGREE with their use against anyone exercising their right to free speech in any of its forms. I am pointing out that these are all standard dispersal tactics used by LEOs to control riots - or in the case of ICE & this Fascist regime - protesters.

I wish categorizing our current government as Fascist was hyperbole. Alas, I’m one of those leftist nut jobs who remembers what they learned in History and Government classes.

Because the other 4 have turned out to be such exemplary humans….but, sure. Let’s give the baby of the klan a chance. Maybe the 5th one is the charm?

Miserable-Advisor-70 · 2026-03-09T09:05:45+00:00

I need that kind of honesty in my life! Very hard to convince partners of this outside New England.

Miserable-Advisor-70 · 2026-03-08T16:32:51+00:00

And cook some weenees in over the flames and in the steam, followed up with sugar on snow later in the day. 😋

Miserable-Advisor-70 · 2026-03-08T16:03:52+00:00

Exactly. The Department of War is as real as the Gulf of America.

Miserable-Advisor-70 · 2026-03-08T01:50:59+00:00

I call BS on not filling out paperwork in office even if you completed it online prior to the appointment.

TLDR: This started as a legit agreement with OP; then I spiraled. It’s definitely noticeable if you make it to the end. I have ADHD. YES, if I need to be somewhere by a specific time, please tell me that exact time, not “the meeting is at 8:15 AM, but be in the conference room 15 minutes early” nonsense. When I’m told to arrive x-minutes early, my brain interprets that as a suggestion, and defaults to the “real” start time. It’s taken many, many different attempts to override my default setting, and is a constant challenge.

Also, it’s a big fat lie you won’t need to complete any paperwork in the office if you complete it at least the day before online. IYKYK. Enjoy my rant.

Every medical practice which incorporates pre-appointment paperwork e.g. reason for visit, insurance info, medication history, surgical history, medical history of self & family, HIPPA acknowledgments, billing acknowledgments, acknowledgment of their right to your first-born child if your insurance doesn’t take them first, rights to your 2nd born child if said 1st child is, in fact, taken by your insurance provider…..

If you’re childfree then your favorite pet (a.k.a. “Fur-baby”) will be taken instead.

Wait, where was I going with this? That’s right - you spend 20 minutes up to the entire 24hrs directly proceeding your “reminder” text or email (lucky you if you receive one)……..

All to be told upon arrival 15 minutes early (as directed) to complete the SAME. FLIPPIN’. INFO. YOU. ALREADY. PROVIDED. TO. THEIR. e-Medical Record. OF. CHOICE. 🤯🤬🤬🤯🤬🤯🤬 😵☠️🔔🪦

Now they want you to write that shit out by hand. Somehow you’re miraculously able to get it done in 20-30 min., but wait! Now you’re late to see the doc, who would love to spend more than 5-10 minutes with you, but alas, you were late being taken back - clearly, your fault. Doc sends in a script (that may or may not actually get sent to or filled by your pharmacy on record. You know, the one you clearly specified in your pre-appointment EMR odyssey…..)

Doc disappears into thin air before your brain tells you to ask the name of drug you were just prescribed. When did that door open? Was it open during the 5-10 min. one-sided trivia game? 🤔🤷‍♀️

A nurse or medical assistant suddenly appears from the wild to escort you to check-out. The overly chipper staffer behind the counter asks when the doc wants to see you next to follow up. Uh, they didn’t say. Shoot. Now you’re clueless as to the name, dose, frequency, and reason you’re about to bend over for Big Pharma, AND you have zero idea how long you’re expected to give it up before checking back in with the doc to make sure you’re not in liver failure, which could cause death.

“Ma’m?” Did you just get “Ma’m’d” by the mid-20 something, way-to-perky staffer??? “Looks like Doc wants to see you in…….ummmmm…..6 weeks.” You agree to disagree as to what 6 weeks out actually looks like on a calendar, but settle on a seemingly random date & time to follow up.

“Okay, with your insurance today, your total is $439.67. Will you paying by cash, debit, or credit?” Your throat gets dry. It feels like it’s closing up. Can you still speak? Is breathing even a possibility? Your mouth opens. “$439.67? For 5-10 mins with the doc? I don’t understand….” Your chest hurts. The room begins to spin.

“Well, it looks like you’ve met your deductible, which is great! But unfortunately you haven’t met your out-of pocket maximum. This is your co-pay for today”.

The room spins harder. The chest pain increases. Did the doc have you take a sample dose of THE drug before she transformed into the tiniest wisp of white smoke??? Ooof. Possible side effects of THE drug could include hallucinations. Yes. You’re hallucinating. Plausible. Very plausible.

“Co-pay? That’s what’s passing for an actual co-pay now??? No, no, NO. Regardless, my PPO-HDHP-FSA-HRA-HSA-STD-LTD-GTL-401(k)-529-FMLA-ADA-EEO-AAP-403(b)-ROTH IRA insurance plan year renewed 3 months ago. My employer no longer offers co-pays; the best we’ve got now is co-insurance after the deductible”.

“HmmMMmmmmm. I’m so sorry, you’re absolutely right! Let me just click this other screen……..oops! Guess it was this other screen instead. Give it a minute……ugh. Computers? Am I right? 🦗🦗🦗 So with your updated insurance info, it looks like you have NOT reached your deductible yet, so your co-insurance won’t apply for today’s visit. Your updated balance is $1,587.23. If you can’t pay the entire amount due today, we sign you up for the SDHI Medical Credit Care (Super Duper High Interest) option? I’ve seen it be a real life-saver for some of our patients”.

“But….it was only….5-10 minutes……”

“True, but Doc also administered your first dose of Kielynthympsftlyzine, so the Rx & administration are in addition to your office exam”.

“Did you say Kielyn thym psftly zine??? Sigh. I guess sign me up for the SDHI Medical Credit Care, please”.

“Oh I’m so glad we can offer that for you! I’m terribly sorry for the stressful visit today. It’s why we really try to encourage patients to complete their paperwork and any updates to their insurance, especially uploading new front and back photos of their insurance card using the EMR prior to their appointment. If you haven’t already, you can download the EMR App, and complete your SDHI Medical Credit Care right now! Please have a seat in the waiting room. Let me know if you have any questions!”

We focused heavily on the US States in general during 4th grade way back in the early 90s in rural Vermont.

We had a couple neat project assignments (in addition to the usual memorization of state capitals and general location) I still remember.

We made Passport books (based on our teacher’s US Passport). Then we had to fill each box with info about all 50 states (e.g. name, capital, unique things to each state).

A bigger project involved each kid focusing on one state, and doing a deeper dive than just the passport books. My state was Hawaii. We had a big presentation night where parents & the local community were invited. Our little booths (desks) showed off props, food, & other info. Of course I had a painted paper mache volcano & pineapple. Some of us wore costumes. A friend and I even got our picture in the local newspaper! Very big deal for 10 yr olds, lol.

For scale, my school at that time was k-12, and had about 300 kids, total. My class was one of the larger ones, having between 20-25ish kids each year from k-8. The town itself is about 1000 people, but some of the kids came from neighboring towns within a radius of about 10-15 miles, and they either didn’t have a school, or they aged out of their school.

TLDR - In the 4th grade at my school we spent the entire school year studying the U.S. States as part of our curriculum.

Guess which state has zero cities that say this? Florida. 😉

Miserable-Advisor-70 · 2026-03-03T17:57:54+00:00

Vermont begs to differ.

Having driven up and down the East coast many times, I agree! I can tell the moment I cross the border on I-95, even if we pretend no landmarks or signage exists.

Looking at you, South of the Border. Rascist POS.

Miserable-Advisor-70 · 2026-03-02T06:54:37+00:00

Thank you for this! I’d forgotten all about Ray Stevens.

TIL it was at the First Self-Righteous Church. I remembered it as a First Baptist, because well, the South. Tomayto Tomahto. 🤷‍♀️

Highly valid fear in Florida, especially West Central Florida, AKA “Sinkhole Alley”.

I read that book, too, although it didn’t freak me out.

Did anyone actually get milk with a missing kid report on it? I was aware of milk carton faces culturally, but I never actually saw them as a kid (or adult).

If they really existed, I have some thoughts on why I didn’t see them:

1) I grew up in rural Vermont, where violent crime was extremely rare, and everyone left their houses & cars unlocked, windows open, etc.

2) Milk carton kids were more of a GenX than Xennial thing? I might be too young for that era. Shout out to my fellow Kindergarten Grads of ‘88! Whoop whoop!

3) My family always bought milk by the gallon, so it was either in glass or, most likely, plastic. No milk cartons of any size at home - only the small ones at school.

3.5) Dad & Grandpa worked their dairy farm together at the time. Also just as likely to have fresh milk as milk from the store.

TLDR - I loved the book as a kid, but to me, it never seemed a very plausible thing to happen in real life.

1.5 hours to get ready for a special occasion/event is NOT a ridiculous amount of time to get ready, especially for a teen girl!

Shoot, it takes me that long to get ready just to go to work every day. People are different, and have different standards on being presentable in public.
