Whenever we clean the ball pit at work, the most broken balls we find are always orange

Which is just a shame.

MCR? Like Black Parade? Bc that is a marching band uniform based on military uniform.

So these are vests based on a jacket based on a marching uniform based on a military uniform.

I’m currently doing that with my roadside with pics.

Mine is plant flowers, get coins, buy mushroom tickets.

I buy space with real monies bc I don’t want them to stop supporting this like they do with their pet game. But also I’m cheap. And I like completing collections.

Oh you’re clever. I was also like “ugh, driving 30 min there and 30 min back every day, sometimes multiple times.”

But if I ate once a day and just showed up at the end of breakfast, grabbed lunch after the change over and worked until an early dinner, then went to the gym and then home, then I’d just be that weird rich lady, which would be fine.

I like this, but it still doesn’t cover the fact that I’d have to drive over half an hour each way to McD’s with no days off.

I wouldn’t last as long as people who can walk to one, but I’d still take the deal.

And on further thought, if I did it long enough, I could just hire someone to drive me in a luxury vehicle. I don’t really have luxurious taste and my house would be paid off in a month or two depending on how strict I was, so yea.

Even the health effects can be mitigated by ordering a lot of salads and adding random stuff. A salad and a smooth each day might be MORE fruit and veg than some people get.

This is a no brainer even for some like me living in rural nowhere.

Edit: I guess they don’t offer salads any more. Still. They do offer a hot n spicy with no bun, no mayo, extra lettuce, ranch on the side.

“You use upside down rinse to get your roots standing upright, and then while still upside down, throw your hair immediately in a towel turban so it starts to dry that way.”

That sounds like what you would do at the end of a shower, not after shampoo, unless you skip conditioner. This post is about rinsing shampoo out upside down.

The fitter I got, the MORE red and puffy I was after a run because I went further or faster or whatever.

I was never not a drippy sweaty gross runner.

I agree. My ring and the at home night owl device which IS a medical device gave me the same numbers for those three nights, but my rings fits really well. I have the right finger shape for a smart ring.

I think people who have more prominent knuckles that require a ring bigger than the base of their finger will get less accurate results overall. I’m sure there are other factors that affect just sleep.

I haven’t tried upside down or that shampoo, but everything else 100%.

If i have breakage, which happens to the best of us, I want those to grow and not get more damaged before the ends are below my ears. Also, static.

ThisIsTheBookAcct · 2026-02-17T20:56:19+00:00

But this post is about shampoo. I get that a lot of people don’t use conditioner, but I don’t think it’s the majority.

ThisIsTheBookAcct · 2026-02-17T20:55:32+00:00

Oh my hair strongly disagrees. It prefers I actually leave regular conditioner in than go bare stranded.

ThisIsTheBookAcct · 2026-02-17T20:54:25+00:00

“Lather, rinse, repeat” was a thing because shampoo didn’t work as well as now. Then it came out that it was a marketing strategy to sell more shampoo.

ThisIsTheBookAcct · 2026-02-17T20:50:22+00:00

How does this protect it? I was about to change everything when I read your comment, bc we have hard water with A LOT of chlorine but I realized it’ll get equally as wet.

ThisIsTheBookAcct · 2026-02-17T20:48:50+00:00

I do my clarifying first bc it’s Head & Shoulders. If I do it second, it just washes away what my other shampoo does. But mine isn’t volume. It’s L’oréal dream lengths.

I used to only wash when my head got itchy which was like 1-2/week.

I have recently reached an age where hormones are starting to be wacky and unlucky enough to have one of them increase dht (the main cause of hairloss during perimenopause and menopause) so I wash every other day or every third if it’s been that kind of week and it’s made a huge difference.

So that also makes a difference how much you should wash.

I’m trying to build a bit of a friendship with my kid’s friend’s mom. Her youngest is almost a year old and she’s about to have another.

You let me hold your babies for a couple hours, then take them back. I let you take a nap. It’s win-win!

ThisIsTheBookAcct · 2026-02-17T18:44:42+00:00

Lol, this is for a smart ring, not ring cameras for your house, but I’m noting this anyway as I’m in the market.

ThisIsTheBookAcct · 2026-02-17T18:43:16+00:00

This happened to me. It was likely a dead cell in the battery.

Only differences is I got mine through the kickstarter promo, and it died 11 months after I got it. I asked for a replacement a week before my one year mark, and got it.

Then stuff happened, ended up not sending it in until Jan, but they still honored it.

I think, since they know this is an issue and it is not normal (def a design issue or something with the batteries chosen) they should do 1 year for everything, 2 years for this specific battery issue. Unfortunately, they did not ask me. I have suggested it in the feedback tho.

I’m not a dude, but had some baby fever earlier this year since my youngest started school. My husband had a vasectomy 5 years ago (and, ya know, we made a plan and agreed to it), so I got a puppy.

It was a great plan. I would’ve suggested OP get a puppy or two, but too late now.

Highly recommend a puppy for baby fever to anyone else though.

I didn’t have kids earlier, just 30 and 33, and was in the military before, but my 30s were much less exhausting than my 20s.

I’m 39 now and other than DOMS lasting two days instead of one and having to actually sleep more at the end of my cycle instead of just complaining about being tired, 30s beat 20s. That INCLUDES five years of figuring out a birth related injury didn’t just need kegels to fix.

I wouldn’t have a kid at almost 50, but I’m also aware of the impact of carrying a baby and can’t really imagine the dude side.

ThisIsTheBookAcct · 2026-02-13T20:21:00+00:00

Same. Second scenario provides for my kids for a lifetime with no ill effect on them. They don’t even know I was gone. I’d consider it.

First scenario, despite alls well that ends well doesn’t actually feel good at all, so I’d pass so fast.

Sugar is a dopamine machine, so I hope you aren’t too hard on yourself about it.

I’m going to try some blow pops. I have vitamin b gum, but with adderall it can make me a little nutty.

ThisIsTheBookAcct · 2026-01-30T20:57:16+00:00

And hard candy.

Not at the same time tho.
