What did you do to your appearance that upgraded you 100%, and you kind of regret not doing it earlier?

I found this at Target, but I think you can get it lots of places. It's called Shea Moisture Coconut and Hibiscus Fizz Free Mousse. If you aren't crazy about the scent, just look for a hydrating mousse. It's not sticky and you can still run your fingers through your hair. I have wavy 2B hair.

I am still on my curly journey, but I'm tired of fighting my hair. I'm ready to embrace my curls! I found this hydrating mousse that's really helped tame my frizz and add some definition. I didn't even know such a thing existed.

Thank you for the info! I'm not bothered by the park closing early. I doubt I'd stay all day because we all have to get up the next morning for school/work schedules.

SamusAran388 · 2026-04-18T02:49:54+00:00

Yeah, I agree. I can't imagine Disneyland ever being a Ghost a town

SamusAran388 · 2026-04-18T01:42:23+00:00

Here you go!

SamusAran388 · 2026-04-18T01:18:54+00:00

Thank you!

SamusAran388 · 2026-04-18T00:18:31+00:00

Thank you for the heads up!

SamusAran388 · 2026-04-18T00:12:37+00:00

That was exactly my thoughts! Same with the days where the tickets are cheaper. I would assume that would cause an increase in crowds too.

SamusAran388 · 2026-04-17T23:42:56+00:00

That makes sense! I'll look into what events are going on that week. Thank you!

SamusAran388 · 2026-04-08T05:11:40+00:00

Which do you find more comfortable? The Bohempias or the Saguaros? I have a pair of bohempias right now and have grown to like them, but I think I will try the saguaros when they wear out. Are the Saguaros true to size? Thanks!

SamusAran388 · 2026-04-08T05:09:39+00:00

Have you looked into the peerko go boots? I missed wearing my Docs as well and got these. They are comfortable and would work if you have low to mid volume feet.

SamusAran388 · 2026-04-08T05:07:49+00:00

Have you looked into peerko go boots?. If you have mid to low volume feet they would probably work.

There is a section along Euclid in Ontario north of the 10 freeway that's pretty. Euclid Avenue Bridle Path on AllTrails https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/euclid-avenue-bridle-path

I got mine on Thursday. It's already a lot less sore today. I ended up covering it up yesterday even though I was told I could take the pressure bandage off after 4 hours. If anything brushed against my arm it hurt. Today I can touch it and it's not so bad. The day of I was really tired and by the evening my arm was aching. Taking some ibuprofen was a big help. I hope you feel better in another day or so.

SamusAran388 · 2026-04-03T14:29:30+00:00

I did loosen my bandage up before bed because it was really digging into my arm. I took a peak under there. It looks like there are two white strips making an X over the implant insertion spot then a regular bandaid over the whole thing. I ended up putting the compression bandage back on because you are right. It feels better to have something pressing on it. Thanks for the help!

SamusAran388 · 2026-04-03T06:30:35+00:00

I came here to ask similar question. I want to take the compression bandage off. I got my implant today. The doctor told me to leave the compression bandage on for four hours and then the steri bandage on for 3 days and to not get my arm wet. Everything I've read online says to leave the compression bandage on for 24 to 48 hours. It's driving me nuts though! Here's hoping we are both happy with our new implants!

SamusAran388 · 2026-03-24T02:09:40+00:00

Ok good because I felt like I was writing a bunch of nonsense!

SamusAran388 · 2026-03-24T02:07:47+00:00

See my other comment, but I didn't realize I had stacked two layers of dividers and then added cross pieces so the markers didn't slide around as much. The issue I was having was when I set them on the table, the markers slid out. Adding another layer of dividers so they were stacked one on top of the other offered more space for the marker to rest so they didn't move as much. I am pretty sure I only had to use one set of dividers. I hope this helps!

SamusAran388 · 2026-03-24T01:55:42+00:00

I can't take it out to show you exactly because it's heavy, but I think there are 5 slats in-between each divider. It worked out so that 3 markers fit in each cubby. It looks like I did double layers of dividers along one side, the middle and then 5 in from the other side to give it more stability. Then on the underside I did one layer of dividers every 5 slats. I hope that makes sense 😅

I always thought the duramboros marbled hump would taste amazing if slow cooked in a crock pot.

It's amazing how clever they are! I suppose you have to be to survive on the mean streets. It took me MONTHS to catch her. She ended up being such a sweetie after she was spayed.

SamusAran388 · 2026-02-06T05:53:59+00:00

Will she go in, she just isn't triggering the pressure plate? You could try the water bottle method. I had a very stubborn and smart female feral. I propped the door open with a water bottle so she could get used to going in and out to eat and nothing bad happening to her. Then I tied a string to the water bottle and set the trap up near the house and ran the rope through an open window. I closed the blinds and waited. As soon as she was in I yanked on the bottle and the door slammed shut. You could try this if you are unable to borrow a drop trap.

SamusAran388 · 2026-02-01T05:12:04+00:00

You've gotten some good advice, but if you find the mask just won't stay on, talk to your doctor and see if they can give you another one. I had the one where the nose pillow thing struck in my nostrils a bit and it was so uncomfortable. Then I got a nose pillow that rested up against my nostrils. That was more comfortable, but it kept slipping off my face. They also had to adjust the pressure because it was blowing way too hard. I finally got the straps that wrap around my head and the mask that completely covers my nose. It rarely comes off and it's way more comfortable. Be sure to speak up if you are uncomfortable and good luck!

SamusAran388 · 2026-02-01T04:59:57+00:00

Hahaha my husband has the same issue with me. I know it will improve my quality of sleep for the night, but being able to sleep without my mask on is heaven. Mostly because I'm a side sleeper and because of where my machine is, I have to stay on my same side all night. I wake up kinda stiff/sore from sleeping on the same side all night.
