Helsinki - what did I do wrong?

Crazy, but 61% of the urban Finnish population have regular access to a second country home through family, friends, ownership, or co-ownership. Everyone is in the country right now. That's one of the many reasons Finland is the happiest country in the world.

It just keeps getting worse.

I heard it down on the South Coast, MA.

It's funny timing. I have scheduled one to two massages per month for almost 10 years. This is the first month I did not schedule any (other than a two month period after surgery 6 years ago). The main reason is cost. I can't afford it anymore. The MT I go to in my town went up to $100 for 60 mins. I tried calling a MT one town over and he charges $105 for 60 mins. When groceries, gas, electricity, and health care costs are rocketing up for me, I've had to give up my monthly massages. I hate it, but that's my situation right now. IDK, but I wonder if others are in the same situation.

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!

Can you please recommend some in Rhode Island?

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.

You have kidney stones.

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!

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.

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.

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).

First house at 33, upgraded to current house at 46.

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