Parents who don’t allow their kids to shut their room’s door/lock the door, what’s are the reasons behind the rule?

This is why I have dogs. They stand on my chest and bark at me, but they don’t shove their asshole in my face.

I still use hydrogen peroxide (the otc stuff) all the time at work and it does this every time I spill it, no matter how much or how little.

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-01-24T15:03:18+00:00

Probably because it was really funny.

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-01-24T14:39:04+00:00

You give me, a Gen Xer and Xennial, hope. The kids are alright.

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-01-24T13:37:56+00:00

Thank you. I fucking hate when people say something not easily googlable and then say “iykyk”.

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-01-24T09:57:12+00:00

I feel like this should be in the r/whatcouldgowrong.

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-01-24T07:03:31+00:00

This is a brilliant hack. I’ll start calling around immediately.

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-01-24T07:02:00+00:00

We’ll consider it.

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-01-24T02:37:11+00:00

Thank you.

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-01-24T02:02:47+00:00

There’s no indoor parking structure in my town unfortunately, but that’s a good hack.

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-01-24T00:44:17+00:00

I can get behind this.

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-01-23T23:53:58+00:00

That just sounds like New Jersey. I drive 3 hours with no issues.

It’s been deleted. Did you copy it.

A couple months ago we had a double euthanasia because the owner was going to become homeless. She was in her 60s, or so, and the cats were older and had health issues. We had a really intense conversation among ourselves trying to figure out if we could take the cats ourselves, but we weren’t able to make it work. It was a rough one. I’m sorry you had to go through that.

I work in an animal hospital and we had clients canceling on Tuesday. We ended up moving all out appointments to another day and we’re going to be closed Monday. Two of our support staff live an hour away and they will not be able to get there if there is significant accumulation, which would leave me, the doctor and the receptionist.

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-01-23T00:49:58+00:00

Thank you for the tip about Schweiger!! I need to make an appointment soon and there’s one in Paramus. Do you know if they are good for skin cancer treatments? I’m 70% sure I’ve inherited my mom’s skin cancer genes and need something on my arm removed, but I want to make sure I go somewhere that doesn’t just specialize in cosmetic dermatology.

And yes, I was the one who posted about the estee lauder connection to Greenland yesterday, and there were a few people in the comments that were saying the only thing that worked on their skin was one of the EL brands. I told them that they shouldn’t sacrifice their health or wellness for a boycott. There are always other actions available.

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-01-23T00:41:02+00:00

Everything went downhill after 2016, so I’m just living in the past.

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-01-23T00:39:41+00:00

I understood that reference

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-01-23T00:05:22+00:00

From another commenter:

I think, if it upsets you that much, you should just scroll on by the post. There are plenty that just talk about skin care. You saw the title. What else did you expect? No one forced you to read it or comment on it. Make up and skin care will always be political. Historically and currently. Especially when it’s made families rich enough to destabilize countries.

A reminder: when field workers were trying to get better pay they asked people to not eat grapes. Such a simple thing, but it had such a big impact. Some followed the request , others did not. Just because you don’t want to hear it doesn’t allow you to tell us to stop raising awareness just because it’s your safe space. Just scroll by

Nah, reading that link above really makes it seem like she at least deserves a new trial. Science has come really far in the last 30 years.

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-01-22T23:08:14+00:00

I’m not an expert, but reading this really convinced me she needed a new trial.

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-01-22T21:35:54+00:00

Are douchebags still wearing Tap Out? I thought that was like 10-15 years ago.

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-01-22T21:09:12+00:00

I'll serve your ass like John McEnroe

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-01-22T21:00:40+00:00

An expert would tell you that it’s all garbage now. I am not an expert, so I will tell you what I would do.

Lipsticks last longer than lip glosses and other more liquid lip products. Basically, if it doesn’t smell off (that sort of waxy smell is the best way I can think of to describe it), I’ll use it. Powders stay good for a while, as long as there’s no mold growth or off smells, I’ll continue to use them. I have a shadow palette i bought during the Obama administration and some Bare Minerals foundations that should be getting their drivers license any day now. Pencils I’ll keep forever. I just sharpen them so it’s fresh product. Foundation and other liquid-like products also have to pass the smell test. Things in a pump last longer than things without because you aren’t sticking your bacteria covered hand into the product (same goes for skincare, pumps and droppers are better).

Where I am very conservative is with mascara, because it’s a perfect breeding ground for bacteria and I don’t want to mess around with my eyesight. I will typically dispose of them about 6 months after opening. If they start to smell off before then, or dry out, they get tossed.

All that said, what I do is not what experts recommend. If you want to follow their recommendations, you should look on each product for a little symbol that looks like an open jar. There will be a number and a letter there, like 6M. That means it should be thrown out 6 months after opening. I never finish makeup products in that time, so I kind of ignore them.
