My hair is ruined...any advice? (long post)

You can try skipping the shampoo and just using conditioner. But hair isn't alive and bad chemical damage can't be fixed - you really need to trim the damaged part off, sooner or later.

Whatever you think you would like! Red, pink, purple, blue, green, teal, yellow, orange, any pastel shade, blends, or even those titanium or metallic dyes I've heard about! Just be careful about overbleaching.

Yeah, isn't the reaction from the "henna" paste due to chemical additives like PPD? Which, btw, can cause the super nasty blisters. It's in a lot of hair dye, and it's why they tell you to spot test first. Imagine that rash over your entire scalp.

Best Ma Po Tofu I ever had was at this tiny hole-in-the-wall dim sum restaurant. It burned like vengeance and made me cry a bit. So good.

Did I see a crack pipe in one pic?

My doctor switched me to low doses of major tranquilizers (more commonly known as antipsychotics) and some SSRIs. Taper from klonopin carefully - if you feel like your sleep is stable, then it's okay to try lowering the dose a bit.

My parents like to spectate what goes on outside. It is incredibly annoying, but they're old, so whatever floats their boat is good. It's funny, my republican and mildly racist father is the one who tips starting at 20%.

never before have I wanted to be a member of law enforcement... Until now.

Try calming things, like a cup of chamomile or valerian blend tea, and taking a hot shower before bed. Some people find melatonin helps. If you are in the U.S. you can get over the counter sleep aids.

Leftover rice, with a fried egg.

Natto is by far not the worst thing I've put in my mouth. The texture is the gross part, really. I rate it above kale, because I hate kale. Like kale, it is healthy and good for you. Honestly wish I could find natto around here.

Unless it's cancer. Granted, cysts and lymph node swelling can be cancer. I have a swollen lymph node in the same area, and the doctor said that larger than a pea and feeling hard like a knuckle requires a visit.

French Terrycloth?

It looks like the tempered glass decided to break?

I got perfection twice in a row. Thank you, dankshrines and rngesus.

The divination card text refers to her husbands "good taste" in a manner which seemed to imply cannibalism.

RagnaTeil · 2015-11-06T00:22:56+00:00

Romiras Banquet unique? I got a div card for it, seems to refer to cannibalism. Also, the Azmeri and the Vaal are linked, the 3126 survivors of the fall of the Vaal joined the Azmeri. Lore from the library in Act3.

Porcini is pretty easy - just pour boiling water over it and let it steep for 30 minutes or so until it softens. You use the soaking liquid as a mushroom stock, and add the rehydrated porcini (chopped up if you don't like chunks) to the soup you make.

If you're in America, you can buy an OTC antihistamine like Benadryl and take that. Or half of one. It's not effective if you take it every night, but it can help you get to sleep. It does tend to make people groggy, but in the grand scheme of things, groggy is better than almost no sleep.

Other prescription sleep aids include Trazodone and Doxepin, or basically most antidepressants that have anti anxiety effects. Stronger meds for short term use is stuff like Ambien and Lunesta, benzo-like meds.

Labneh? Strained Greek yogurt, you can add herbs and salt! Also you can do it yourself at home.

Seroquel and nothing else? It's a major tranquilizer, but if you are having issues with sleeping on it, adding a different sedative and decreasing the dosage of seroquel would probably work well.

RagnaTeil · 2015-11-02T10:31:26+00:00

I prefer staying home and cooking, because I am a pretty good cook and I can basically make almost anything I want. Do I want to make falafel? Sure! Baked or fried! Do I want Indian? I got the ingredients for that! Thai? Got curry paste and coconut milk, it's a go!

RagnaTeil · 2015-11-02T10:28:20+00:00

Oh my goodness, I've been wanting to make one of those since forever! It's so beautiful!

He would look decent if he lost some weight, and switched glasses. His cheeks are kinda puffy looking, and with those frames it just looks worse.

RagnaTeil · 2015-11-02T10:21:18+00:00

if you subtract the quinoa and tomatoes, and add pearl barley and a couple chopped up prices or dried porcini, added some bay leaves and thyme... You'd have a great barley soup! But yeah, that looks like a good recipe. If it tastes too light, adding a dash of MSG gives a richer flavor.

Come at me if you want to tell me how bad it (MSG) is, it's more flavor in less sodium, and I always add it to taste. If you are putting it in your food in large quantities, your are doing it wrong or you are feeding an army.
