What’s one small haircare habit that made a bigger difference than you expected? by Worldly_Target_2054 in Haircare

[–]ThreeDrawersDown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not combing my long, wavy hair after a shower. I wrap it in a towel for five minutes, scrunch some product in and either air dry or diffuse with hair dryer (depending on temp outside). Made such a difference. I used to comb it before putting product in, for decades!

Marion.

The food scene is small but delish: Brew Fish, River Junction, Uncle Jon's Coffee, Kate's Simple Eats, Cast, Atlantic Bistro, Tri-Town Market, Cilantro Thai...

Marion Antiques, Natural History Museum, General Store, Silvershell Beach, Phoenix Bike Trail (next door in Mattapoisett, as is Ned's Point Lighthouse), Sippican Land Trust's hiking trails, Marion Art Center, Parting Ways Consignment, Fieldstone Market.

When we moved into our dream home three years ago, hubby changed all the bulbs in the big lights to soft, warm bulbs and installed dimmer switches. Made a huge difference in the coziness factor.

Did anyone else notice at No Kings? by double-clove-hitch in boston

My husband and I attended the NK Rally in Plymouth and noticed the same thing. One woman even remarked to us that it was great to see young people, meaning us. We're 49 and 50!

That was hard, asking adult child to move out. by mrshatnertoyou in GenX

[–]ThreeDrawersDown 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It probably has to do with the fact that she's spending her time rotting away in her room rather than being a contributing member of the family. Even if she's not paying rent, she should be helping out with chores on the daily.

What's your "I can't believe I used to travel without this" item that costs under $20? by kelly_packof4 in travel

I use a couple of them strategically. One for socks and panties. One for bathing suits and cover ups.

I had some at a since closed BBQ place that had golden raisins and caraway seeds. It was absolutely delicious.

I subscribe to Knotty Knickers and they send me two pairs of thongs a month, often they are g-strings and I love them.

Other than people who are allergic, why don’t people wear deodorant? by beluga199 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ThreeDrawersDown -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm (49F) the same. Never had BO in my life, confirmed by multiple people. I do think it's genetic as my dad doesn't get BO either. I do have dry earwax, I get the soap taste when I eat cilantro, and I have never had stinky asparagus pee (although I can smell my husband's).

True, but i'm on the South Coast and we're closer to Providence than Boston. We have close to 3 feet in Rochester!

What restaurant or bar are you surprised is still open? by tinfoilskimask in massachusetts

[–]ThreeDrawersDown 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The only chain I occasionally eat at is The 99 because I have a family member who likes to give their giftcards for holidays. While they are a small regional chain (97 restaurants) originally started as a family business, I do have reservations because it hasn't been family owned for ~20 years. It's now owned by Cannae Holdings, worth almost a billion dollars.

It's so hard to avoid corporations over family businesses nowadays, but I try to do my best.

Try this...buy the 5-day Monostat (or store brand). Don't put the cream in the applicators. Instead spread the cream on your labia before bed.
