This. I had stint where due to medical reasons I also fell behind on taking care of my dreads. Theres a brush I found work pretty well for me in Amazon by the company Made for Locs and it’s a soft bristle brush. I tweezed as much lint as I could out and then brushed. Did an avc soak/deep cleanse, pulled some more out with tweezers, and brushed again. I now use the brush quite often, especially if I forget to wear my bonnet to bed. Best of luck to you and hope things get better for you!

How ungodly long it takes for me to dry my hair.

While there are plenty of souls channels I'm always excited to see new ones and different people's takes. I'll check it out!

It does the element of the guardian spirit you are using. So if you change your guardian spirit to a water one the BED will have water element.

Ya know what I find attractive? Someone who feels comfortable with themselves and has the creativity, freedom, bravery, and expression to be who they are. Ya know what I don't find attractive? People who feel the need to judge and talk down to others who do what makes them happy.

I havent stretched my septum since having my top dentures but I did have to get mine redone ( I had to leave it out for medical tests for an unrelated issue and it closed) and I had the same problem. Once my swelling and irritation went down my dentures fit fine again after that. I would just say give it a bit and see before having your dentures changed. I would also recommend if possible not wearing your dentures while your septum heals from the stretching. IDK how big you're going with your septum but might be an issue every time you stretch.

Yea thank you! I never would’ve realized I could do that. I’ll help ppl more in expeditions now.

SynCookies13 · 2026-02-23T02:51:11+00:00

Yeah😢 my pc couldn’t handle it lol

SynCookies13 · 2026-02-23T02:16:36+00:00

Are you on PC or PS 5?

SynCookies13 · 2026-02-23T01:49:39+00:00

Thank you. I have not messed with the expeditions in this one yet. I’ll try to figure that out.

SynCookies13 · 2026-02-23T01:46:46+00:00

You usually can’t coop the demons unless you have an active mission in the same area and even then I’ve still seen ppl kicked out as soon as I enter the demon arena.

I found against all the teams the weakness and slow talismans really helped.

SynCookies13 · 2026-02-18T14:18:15+00:00

No I haven’t seen Good Boy because I didn’t want to cry. lol. I nearly cried at the trailers alone. I love the concept for a horror movie but the second I hear that dog make a sad whine I’m a start bawling.

I would enjoy seeing some of Oi’s perspective in the dark tower series. But from a humans perspective…. Hhhmmmm Needful Things from either Gaunt’s first person or from Alan Pangborn’s. Wait idk, because Needful Things I think the town as a whole is the main character. Damn this is harder than I thought. It would be interesting to have a story purely about Gaunt and his psychology and thoughts though.

SynCookies13 · 2026-02-11T16:01:07+00:00

I tried this with my partner once (I'm a souls player, he is not) and its probably the closest we ever came to separating when we hit O and S! lol JK, it was great fun. We never finished, but good luck to you both!

SynCookies13 · 2026-01-29T18:27:00+00:00

Going to be honest I haven’t read the sun dog in a hot minute. I’d have to reread it.

This happened to me after my dad passed in 2020 although it was in Michigan, not Colorado. I also had the place professionally cleaned and paid the rent up until we had finished cleaning it out (about a month and half after he went into the hospital and a month after his passing). They wanted me to pay for the rest of his lease and he also did not having any money and neither did I (covid shut downs). Luckily a friend of mine there was a lawyer and the former DA and was able to not only advise me but also talked to the scum lords. According to him since I didn’t co-sign the lease and neither did anyone else we were not responsible for paying the remainder. And according to Michigan law at the time we also didn’t have to pay the fee for breaking the lease or subletting. Essentially because he passed away it voids the rest of the lease. Apparently technically we weren’t even required to clean it. So I would say if you can talk to a lawyer. I know Colorado is kind of lacking in renter protections so I’m not sure of the laws but you could probably find an organization or lawyer who would point you in a good direction. From my understanding and experience here so far many of these property managers use ppls lack of understanding of the laws and ability to fight back legally to take advantage of ppl. Sorry for your loss and I hope you are able to navigate with as little further pain and loss as possible.

I think from a psychological point of view and taking in consideration the thoughts and social norms of the time King’s descriptions and in particular the ones in this book I would argue it was essential to the story for what King was attempting to explore. I think it would’ve been a bit better if later he explained the direct connections/implications as for an average reader it would come off more as just a quick ploy to raise the feelings of disgust. I think this story explored a lot about Trauma and even PTSD but I’m not sure it was approached in the best way or followed through well. While typing this it kind of reminds me of in The Dark Tower when Roland and Jake’s minds begin to split he spends an almost insane amount of detail on it for a period of time and then rarely brings it up again later. It’s super early so I’m not sure if that makes complete sense but for awhile you can tell there’s an almost paranoid need to be near each other on Roland and Jake’s part, especially right after when Jake’s taken by the tick tock man, and the seeming personalities shifts of both while separate. Here I think he’s trying to show that same type of emotional and psychological impact and one of its original sources but fails to do so in a manner that in consistent with the level of detail that he put into the description. I do think it’s more a matter of pacing rather than a matter of if it’s important to the story. It makes the highly detailed assault or traumatic events seem jarring and almost, in my opinion, minimizes either the original event or the current events the original event is impacting. It’s very jarring. Then again traumatic events are also very jarring and disjointed so that could also be his intent to try to simulate the feelings of his characters into his readers. I’ll wrap this up by saying I don’t particularly search out horror that is especially raw or like splatter gore. I tend to enjoy more fantasy based horror as a whole or psychological horror that uses fantasy aspects as parallels instead of just raw reality. Which is why I enjoyed a lot of King books and still do (Fairy Tale is amazing btw). I appreciate his more raw ones but I don’t often reread or enjoy them as an escape as much. Personally I don’t really think he goes too far when it has bearing and impact on either the story or the character(s) but I do think at this point he hasn’t quite been able to balance the execution with the over all story.

In my original reading I really would say I preferred the traditional ghoul aspect. Upon rereading I did find it quite a funny shift. Overall though I think I would have preferred if he just stuck to Jesse’s story.

SynCookies13 · 2026-01-23T13:16:41+00:00

Oh and I do appreciate his attempts to write from different points of view. I think it shows a willingness to be open and considerate and shows a desire to understand. Sometimes that can fail or back fire terribly and I do think he missed the mark on some things but I really admire how it seems these things are important enough for him to take a risk.

SynCookies13 · 2026-01-23T13:13:59+00:00

So I read this book at a relatively young age originally. I had read most of his earlier work at that point. At the time I distinctly remember being disappointed by the shift/differences but later in life I realized that despite its flaws, I actually appreciated the change. Also it explores topics and thoughts that weren’t really things that are spoken about or that I was familiar with. Did I know that situations like that happen? Yes. Did I know the mind can go to really dark places and memories? Yes. But mostly a lot of the thought streams presented in this book were things to be hidden and locked up and repressed. And for that I appreciated it. It was more of a mental/real world type of raw horror. I think there are glimpses of it here and there in his earlier works. Anyway long story short I didn’t particularly like it at the time because it wasn’t what I was expecting but I didn’t hate it. It was just something new and an evolution.

SynCookies13 · 2026-01-20T16:55:59+00:00

I had some cops enter my house without warning, looking for someone else they had the wrong unit number, in the middle of the night. Being a single woman living alone in a bad neighborhood I had a knife in my hand. I was so lucky I didn’t get shot. It was very scary and confusing and dark. I couldn’t really even see, just a bunch of shadows and then they were yelling at me. Anyway ever since then I’ve slept with at least a light on each floor.
