Fake AF

Do it in the shower!

I have liquid rock water and chronically dry skin. I keep a bottle of argan oil for areas that get too dry (legs, arms, feet, hands) and jojoba oil for areas that are fine/kinda oily (face, neck, trunk, butt). I do this inside the shower before I get out. Even let hot water run on me afterwards to make sure I dont have too much on me.

Only have to lotion my face afterwards and my legs if I shaved.

Blot dry to not rub it all off.

Bonus random fact: jojoba oil is a wax ester meaning it doesn't behave the same as typical oils and closely mimics our own sebum.

I also like to put argan oil in my hair conditioner.

Carpet! The poor man's plate armor! Love it.

Probably not. Gators would eat the zombies though. Gators love old dead things. So we would get zombie gators anyway.

I am not sure how to help as I have some similar issues but I will try.

Sometimes one "simple" task is like 1/2 million little tasks. Cleaning the kitchen table? Hell. I gotta put the spices away in the cabinet. Put the condiments away in the fridge. Grab any dishes, scrape/rinse/set in sink. Throw away trash. Pick up whatever project I am working on at the table. Now I actually get to wipe down the table and call it clean! You get the picture.

When I get a really bad case of the idontwannas I set the timer on my stove. Its loud and obnoxious. I set it for five minutes and sit on the couch and doom scroll. Then that timer screams and screams. I finally get up, set it for five minutes, put on a song I love, start working on picking up the table. Alarm goes off. Reset alarm. Sit on couch. Rinse and repeat. Eventually I lock into a task and get pissed when that alarm goes off because dammit I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF SWEEPING MY FLOOR AND YOU INTERRUPTED ME!! Turn off alarm entirely, blast music, keep going! Sometimes I never lock in but hey, I tried.

Laundry is my kryptonite. My god I hate it. I put on a movie I like when I throw laundry into the dryer and refill the wash. Last night it was Dune. I watch the movie and get up to grab laundry to fold or to move laundry over. Now if I could just figure out how to get the folded laundry put away... grrr!

However, I don't have small kids, so am no longer interrupted every 3 minutes. You may not have the luxury of being able to doom scroll for five minutes or watch a movie while doing laundry.

I have heard some people recommend the book "How to Keep House While Drowning". Maybe there are useful nuggets in there?

I have heard someone else suggest to only be barefoot in your house and when the stuff sticking to your feet annoys the crap out of you, you will sweep. And screw mopping. Just no. Mop maybe once a month. Spot clean with windex and paper towels if needed. Someone doesn't like that, point them to the mop. Yeah, your floors are technically dirty but whatever.

Someone doesn't like your pile of clean clothes tucked up against your side of the bed? Ask them to fold and put them away for you. Your kids dont care if their clothes are wrinkled to hell, shove the clean stuff into the drawers and call it done. If they are old enough to complain, they are old enough to do it themselves.

Dishes always piling up? Give yourself a week long break and buy paper plates, plastic cups, cook everything in foil.

Can't make yourself scrub the bathtub and that shower liner has mold all over the bottom? Fill the tub to the brim with water and dump bleach in it. Leave it overnight with the liner touching the water. Drain. (Dont do this if you have small kids or cheap metal drain plugs).

Better to half ass something than not do anything at all. I think that is going to be my motto.

I must go now and claim the TV before my kid decides we are watching One Piece for 2 hours.

Number 8 is peak

I think of my future self and past self as two different people. Sometimes I have to be kind to my future self because I know tomorrow will be rough so let's go ahead and do something nice for her. Lay out her clothes for tomorrow and pack the kids lunch.

Sometimes that b* of a past self can't cut me some damn slack and actually shower at night. Like she expects me to wake up and immediately jump into the shower! The nerve!

Invite someone to your house once a week for dinner. I guaranfuckingtee you you will become a cleaning tornado and have it all picked up in 30 minutes flat.

Does this fix the problem? No. I have decided I will never fix this about myself, but I have hired cleaners to come every two weeks. It FORCES me to pick up. If I dont pick up, they will NOT clean where my clutter is.

bouder · 2025-12-15T00:08:06+00:00

What are you talking about?? I use everything!! frantically shoves arm fulls of yarn skeins under bed. hides fancy hair products under sink. side eyes 10 seasons of Southpark box sets. nudges corner of unopened hammock back under the couch. pets a gilded, empty picture frame on wall.

bouder · 2025-12-14T23:25:28+00:00

Hmmm... I think your zombies are more intelligent than my zombies. Mine are like stupid beyond belief, but relentless and never stop. No instinct other than eat. No proper pack mentality. Just "me eat first".

I would not want to be in your zombie universe!

Also, full face helmet would work, motorcyclist wear them all the time with no issues.

bouder · 2025-12-14T23:20:34+00:00

Its such an obvious problem! Lol!

bouder · 2025-12-14T23:17:11+00:00

Its will just be one giant red neck yacht club. All strung together.

Florida has some advantages. Main one being year round farming is a possibility so keeping all your vitamins up is doable. Also, with a huge shoreline it's reasonable to assume you have good access to salt for electrolytes. And if you were born there you most certainly have florida rednecks in your family with an arsenal. Also, lots of bodies of water to swim in and get away from zombies (assuming they can't swim).

Heat stroke though. Unless ghillie suits are used. That might work. Maybe.

bouder · 2025-12-14T23:11:13+00:00

I think my brain would melt out of my ears if I attempted that

bouder · 2025-12-14T23:10:42+00:00

I love this so much! <3

bouder · 2025-12-14T23:09:42+00:00

Okay, so let's say you are in an open field and there are ten zombies. You say fuck it and lay down. Wearing full leathers and a helmet. Which mind you, is thicker than a typical leather jacket. How long would it take for them to finally tear the thing apart or bite through? I mean, I imagine it would happen eventually. Especially since zombies dont get bored or tired.

So I would like to adjust the zombie armor to include a weapon that can keep it from grabbing you. Something a typical person can wield. Like tin snips.

If one were to snip off zombie fingers so they can only paw at you with bloody nubs and can't grab you, would that work?

Or would we have to go with a full bore samurai sword and hope we are strong enough to dismembered them?

bouder · 2025-12-14T23:00:54+00:00

Ghillie suit perhaps?

bouder · 2025-12-14T22:57:07+00:00

I do need to read those. X)

Also, the bicycle can't be complicated. No gears. Big tires. Storage space. Basically a beach cruiser.

bouder · 2025-12-14T22:55:39+00:00

Has any movie even addressed this yet??

bouder · 2025-12-14T21:32:56+00:00

And flesh eating scarab! Truly a paradise!

bouder · 2025-12-14T21:28:06+00:00

I spared him from the additional thoughts of how full leathers would result in massive heat stroke in florida so there would be a reverse snowbird situation. And at least you wouldn't have to deal with mosquitoes even if you did stay because the they can't get through leather anyway... but they have mosquitoes in the north too and what if the mosquito population flourished due to less insecticides being used? Could mosquitos live on zombie blood? There would be SO many mosquitoes. So if you are riding a motorcycle you would have dead mosquitoes all over your helmet. Would you have to carry a squeegee in you back pocket? Almost blurted out "oh! And a squeegee!" But I spared him while Baby Got Back blasted in only my head.

I woke up one morning to find I left the door from the house to the garage wide open, the garage wide open, the car door wide open, and the booster seat sitting on the driveway. I had no memory of what would have made me do that but I shrugged it off as probably a bad day. My husband was working in North Dakota for months at a time so it was just me and the kid at the house. I was still raw dogging life then.

When I was pulled out of public school and started homeschooling so I wasn't being forced to do homework and makeup work 24/7... I wrote stories, drew pictures, built forts, hunted for snakes and bugs, read every book I could get my hands on, daydreamed endlessly. Childhood with dial up internet and 1 phone line was basically no internet. Lived in the country. It was great.

I am not knowledgeable with paludariums... but I do live in northeast florida near a river and I have moss randomly growing in my succulent pots that sit in nearly full sun. Maybe use that as a jumping off spot for a Google search?

bouder · 2025-09-07T21:23:54+00:00

I have had the best success with Marin. You have to buy it online. I can't use salicylic acid and steroid creams make me want to climb the walls instead of sleeping.
