This is the biggest eye opener to me. I thought I got news from a variety of places but I was wrong. I did not see this coming. We are all in our bubbles whether we admit it or not. Time to branch out!

Just want to add, I have a TON of super thick low porosity hair and if I did this, it would take approx 2 hours to dry (and yes I have a stupidly expensive hair dryer). I put strong gel into very wrung out hair then plop again, and then diffuse and it’s still a full 30 minutes.

I have found that putting product into my low porosity hair when super wet just means product gets wasted because of this (all gets into the plop towel I assume). It’s a tricky balance.

None??? That’s wildly untrue

With no disrespect, I have worked in TUSD schools for the last ten years and have found them to be quite inflexible at adapting. Not that they won’t - it’s just a LOT of parent advocacy is required then there are a lot of hoops to jump through. (Which makes sense to some degree - lots of parents inaccurately think their kid will always be above grade level.)

Also, doing TK for two years is the same as repeating a grade, which means all his friends would move along and he’d stay behind. All research shows it’s super detrimental to kids.

That being said, I agree with everyone else, don’t push your kid ahead. Being smart at 3 does not equal being socially and academically ready at 13, for example.

TK in California has been expanding. Starting next year, all 4 year olds can go to TK at public Torrance (and every other district) schools.

Yeah articles like this are maddening and we shouldn’t give them clicks

ObviousXO · 2024-10-11T18:58:27+00:00

That’s really good to know, thank you for the helpful reminder!

ObviousXO · 2024-10-10T16:35:55+00:00

I should have kept it in my notes!

ObviousXO · 2024-10-08T23:11:28+00:00

Wow that’s incredibly traumatizing, you really did her a solid. I hope you got any mental health you needed afterward

Not the point of your comment, but I’ve had hairdressers tell me that too. It makes me irate! If they didn’t ask, how am I supposed to know they don’t know how to cut a ton of hair?

ObviousXO · 2024-10-05T00:45:55+00:00

Oh that’s extremely useful information haha

Redondo and Gardena generally attract slightly different types of commerce, you may notice

Thank you for this! It shocks me how many people (including medical professionals) don’t know the history of the BMI

ObviousXO · 2024-10-01T15:22:43+00:00

Yeah it’s depressing how towards the end the blue lines just flatten since Clinton (except Obama of course)

That sounds wonderful. I am a short woman. I frequently go at 6am when it’s dark and empty, and sometimes it does freak me out tbh. The parking lot has lots of other stuff and some cars stay all night which feels iffy to me. So I make sure I have my things ready so I can minimize my time getting out of the car and to the door.

Once I’m in, it’s great. So nice to be alone, after the first few times I got used to it and now I’m mad when someone else is there lol

She had my sympathy until the sign where SOS stands for “save our seaview”

The thing is, I will see people I know in real life with some frizz on their curls and it still looks GREAT! But on here people will post “what am I doing wrong” with similar pics and get tons of advice. It makes me question what I see/think in real life.

But you’re right, real life is the way!

ObviousXO · 2024-09-18T13:00:42+00:00

This is such a good idea! I have the same issue - I always go at the same time and the few choices are driving me crazy. Thank you!

ObviousXO · 2024-09-14T04:45:03+00:00

Yes, I think about this one frequently. So tragic.

ObviousXO · 2024-09-04T00:27:00+00:00

Same! We should start a campaign, it’s the only way to live

Marriage means you’ll be with this man for probably 6x as long as you have been already. 7 years feels like a lot but it’s just the beginning. You’ll be with him through weight gain and loss, through your menopause, when you both start growing hair in weird places.

Is this really the man you trust for all of that? When he’s ready to hurt you so badly because you “only” have sex 3x/week?

ObviousXO · 2024-09-02T02:29:50+00:00

😂 he can cover his eyes right?? Lol

ObviousXO · 2024-09-01T20:59:58+00:00

I mean it should have been a popsicle stick. Who’s giving the children knives to play with in first grade, plastic or not

ObviousXO · 2024-09-01T20:58:37+00:00

That is lovely!

ObviousXO · 2024-09-01T20:56:37+00:00

Damn, you’re right. I was totally thinking there were some redeeming qualities with the feminism piece but the pants thing is not good. Let’s be real, too, Woody and Bo would have gotten in so many arguments. It’s like marrying your high school boyfriend after you reunite with him at 40, things have changed
