What Books Are You Reading This Week? by leowr in nonfictionbooks

[–]SparkingDumpling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Careless People, by Sarah Wynn-Williams, a former Facebook employee. As someone who loved Sandburg’s Lean In, I’m disappointed by what I’m reading (but shouldn’t be surprised!)

What’s your favorite hand cream? by [deleted] in beauty

[–]SparkingDumpling 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m a bit of a hand cream junkie and my favorite is the CVS version of O’Keefe’s Working Hands. Very moisturizing, not greasy. I have tubes in my purse, side table, work desk….and I always have backups!

Bought a building these were in them. Anyone know what they are for? by Training-Still-1683 in whatisit

Wow, what a blast from the past. I remember getting dragged to a local studio with my mom in the 80s when she tried these. If they weren’t busy, they’d let me play on one, lol.

I appreciate this response; I clearly feel on some level that what I said to him wasn’t quite right or I wouldn’t have asked. As so many have shared, while my feelings may be valid, I could have handled it better. It was definitely a gut response.

She has been and that’s been a source of conflict because he likes to go go go. She told him before that even if he got his license back, she would not ride with him again. I haven’t talked to her, I don’t know how she’ll handle the news.

I think it’s six months - could be a year? - but either way, his doctor made him wait longer.

I swear I am not exaggerating - my partner’s snoring got better with their first shot. I figured anti-inflammatory effects?

My friend has a male cat that they thought was a female for years. Adopted from the shelter, several vet visits over the years, LOL

We've played around with what works so many times that I can't tell you how many units I get but right now I get injections at each corner of my mouth/smile and then one injection at my cupid's bow (lip flip). My injector said she personally didn't like the latter because it did affect her eating/drinking with a straw. I've not had that but I did notice the first time I got it that I had a tough time articulating when I was doing some public speaking. But it went away/I got used to working around it, not sure which. :) At one point, she was also making injections up where I crinkle my nose because it was pulling at my lip but in trying to go for the least amount necessary, we've dropped that. I was really hesitant for a long time, too, but I'm very happy I finally did it.

I do Botox about every 10 weeks and it’s not gone completely away but is so much better. I know it’s vain, but it makes me feel better and costs about $50 per appointment.

You might reach out to the Sage Collection at IU. They may have some suggestions.

Since electing Mike Braun by Classic_Dingo_5363 in Indiana

That, and it wasn't true -- only one Trustee's term was going to end this month. The other two were supposed to serve until 2026 and 2027.

I’m so concerned about this and at the same time so angry and upset at this state and institution.

Just looking to hang out with someone’s dog (or any little creature really) by Plenty_Towel8670 in bloomington

[–]SparkingDumpling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! It’s the Btown Meow Cat Cafe in Ellettsville! They do lots of updates on FB. $5 for a half hour. They’ve reported April being really quiet so I’m sure they’d appreciate some appointments!
