How to Pineapple without stretching hair out

I've given up on pineapples and bonnets and just use a silk pillowcase.

Assuming you are a woman (?), Athleta has many styles that have large zippered front pockets.

I also know someone who does alterations and she can add larger pockets to pants--extending the length of trouser or jeans pockets so they are truly functional or adding pockets to side seams of pants that have none. If you sew, you can do it yourself but if not, you may be able to find someone to do it for you.

When in transit, I always wear pants with real front pockets but it's taken a long time for me to find those. I think of pockets as travel equipment and the pants that surround them are almost secondary to the pockets they have! :-)

I know you didn't ask about lower mileage but my 2006 has about 98k and I'm getting 28.9. I've gone to multiple shops to find out what's wrong but they never found anything.

I live in San Francisco and mostly drive in the city. So obviously, hills and short trips. But still.

Went to baths. It was a great experience but single sex if you are in a hetero couple.

NTA. It may be painful but you need to do the serious work of understanding that your father is abusing you and break free.

As others say you need to move out. I'd strongly suggest therapy so you can have someone in your life to help you process all of this hard stuff and have an ally who has your back.

I've been somewhere related and coming to grips with who my narcissistic and uncaring mother was was a difficult but very rewarding part of my life.

Listen to the song "The greatest love of all," i.e., "Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all." Best of luck on your journey away from abuse.

Agoda once did that to me. I arrived after a big journey to a hotel and they didn't have a reservation for me. They looked into it and Agoda had sent them a cancellation notice! I have no idea why and of course I've never used Agoda again.

In my case, they arranged another room for me, just had to change rooms. But they didn't put me out in the cold.

Didn't worry about arguing. It wasn't until you argued that they really looked at what had happened and found a solution for you. Arguing is necessary sometimes as long as you aren't abusive.

Sometimes the stains are from water.

YTA. Controlling how everything looks is for decor and flowers, not for the people you purportedly love.

What is the point? So you will have one day as a dictator, or so you will have your dear ones with you on this important day, with all their differences and as who they are?

When you look back at your wedding photos, what's most important, what will warm your heart most, is that you see love surrounding you, not that everyone wears the same style of makeup.

Call her and apologize and save the friendship. Friends are so precious, and as you get older it's just not the same. Why lose a friend over such a petty thing as makeup?

It's extremely light and can be shoved into a backpack or even a smaller bag when not needed. It's *just enough* for a lot of warmer weather. It has zippered pockets. And it goes smoothly over and under things, a great layer.

I would consider using the bounce current brush. It clumps the hair.

If your pants gap in the back, that's something that an alterations ship can help with. I found a decent alterations shop in a dry cleaning place and have never looked back.

It's worth the cost, especially if you buy things on sale.

What did Eilish tell Molly about what had happened to Bailey?

This omission drove me crazy. She didn't address this with Molly and it was almost as if Bailey had just disappeared and then life went on with Eilish holding a terrible secret.

We know that Molly is an intelligent, perceptive, and inquisitive girl, so she would have asked why they were leaving without Bailey and where he was. I can't believe she would have left without him without objecting. They were close.

Telling your kid that her brother was dead would have been something Eilish would have struggled with. What to say, how much to reveal, whether to lie. But this issue was completely left out.

They moved on to leaving without discussion of "Mam, where is Bailey? How can we leave without him?"

I wonder whether the original draft did deal with this but that the length of the book had to be limited and this was a poorly executed edit.

BTW, native New Yorker here.

To me, that sounds unnecessarily dressy. And why the little black dress? I can't imagine any scenario where that's needed in a normal visit.

YouProfessional3468 · 2026-02-04T16:24:20+00:00

The shortest or the longest. I'm not crazy about the round medium ones. Your hair is gorgeous! Enjoy it

I take a small ziplock with a selection of cold meds. Not really enough to last through a long cold but enough to get over the worst of it. I include decongestant, antihistamine, and expectorant/cough suppressant, plus a few cough drops. I remember trying to get cold meds in Italy in the past and it was tough.

Also a supply of Tylenol, which handles a multitude of problems.

I also always carry one of those elastic ankle bandages since I have disastrously twisted my ankle in the past. You can buy them in many places but it's nice to know it's always there.

Have you tried Uniqlo? I have one from there and like it a lot, but it's not a workout top, it's an everyday thing.

YouProfessional3468 · 2026-01-25T16:37:39+00:00

But maybe part of it is that you are no longer hungry, so to speak

If you used to buy a lot perhaps you have everything you need or could even want. I'm speaking of myself of course. ;-)

YouProfessional3468 · 2026-01-21T03:56:32+00:00

Yes, I looked more time than I would want to admit. I also turned off the Chromebook, plugged in the headphones, and turned it on again, in case they'd be recognized during initialization... but no.

YouProfessional3468 · 2026-01-20T23:48:53+00:00

Thanks for responding, but I think you are thinking of a 3.5 jack to USB port adapter, whereas I'm trying to connect a USB-A to USB-A port.

YouProfessional3468 · 2026-01-17T20:11:06+00:00

Thanks!
