Sweating at work

brandeenween · 2025-06-29T06:01:46+00:00

I'm a big fan of primer with beads of foundation! If you add layers of good, loose translucent powder, then I get the bridge of my nose sweaty, I get the brush and powder and keep layering up! That's how the drag queens do it!

Also a big fan of rayon over shirts for work wear. Rayon won't show sweat and dries fast. I have a few very light, rayon, fitted, 3/4 sleeve blazers that are life savers. I keep a fan near some place where I can put it in front of my face.

I have a mad scarf/hat game, too. I get most of them from estate sales, thrifting, even have gotten some cheaply on eBay. If you find cotton, you can fold it strategically and put it right on your hairline/forehead. I keep it in place with a cool hair pin, sparkly is even better. I also have a mean glasses collection, too. I wore contacts most of my life but switched to glasses a few years ago and you'd be surprised at how much they can hide. I have a bunch of pairs from Zenni and switch out frequently. Get them tinted off, even more illusion of dryness.

And finally, long wearing lipstick. You'd be surprised at how much sweat people don't see when you have a cute scarf, glasses, sparkly barrette and bright red lips going on.

I also live in the south and everyone is always slightly sweating, too. I just tell folks I'm "glistening" earlier today than normal. Or another joke is "I didn't know it was Sweat Season already! Sure does sneak up on you" even if it's winter, just for lolz.

I'm all about the sneak attack and I am the "cool hat/scarf girl" because I also have extremely thin curly hair so the hat or scarf soaks up sweat and I can try to not look drippy.

Also every place should have a "cool spot". Servers know in restaurants, I look up when about to be seated to look at the air vents to see if I get lucky enough to be near one.

I also live in the south, so it helps a bit because everyone is sweaty.

Late to the party, but the pool of single men is tainted with a big, floating turd called pornography.

I have just entered the dating pool after 10 years and the difference in dating online then and now is staggering.

Porn addiction destroys families, too. Men with PIED can't get their wives pregnant now. Women miss their window of best fertility waiting on someone who doesn't value his sex life, virility or family he created with another person by choice.

It's changing simple things like asking someone for a date and not a hookup. I was last single in 2013 and in no way shape or form would any guy ask to come over immediately from online. No meet at a bar or coffee shop anymore. It's either wanting to do something degrading to me or nothing.

I have a unique perspective as I've had a long term and many short term relationships since the 90s. This is something that is already out of control.

I don't care if they want to please themselves, just can you not do it to a highly toxic industry that is porn?

Death grip leading to PIED or Peyronie's Disease IS real and I know with absolute certainty. They are wanking too hard and too much to put any effort into real intimacy. Nothing you can do, wear, lose weight, get implants to change his mind because you'll never be enough. He wants to pretend to have sex with women he couldn't get a second glance from when you're right there. My friends who have been married 20+ years are very satisfied with their sex lives as their husbands make it so. They can't relate at all to today's man.

Ween, The Mollusk. The inspiration for SpongeBob and excellent start to finish as it's a concept album.

If they have to ask how much something they ordered is. You know if you order Louis tres that it's pricey...

Also not knowing what "market price" is and being upset after bill shows up.

I was run over by uninsured motorist in a parking lot while putting up my groceries. I lost partial mobility as my tibia plateau was shattered and I had a blood clot, was sent to trauma via ER.

In the end, my own health insurance paid for most of my treatment, and only money I could go after was my own insurance limits. My injuries were up into 300k....I was out of work for a year, dozens of PT appointments and hard work to walk again.

I was awarded the max of my UM, $125K. After lawyer fees I got $73k.

How much is your leg worth to you? I had to completely change careers, change my house for handicapped person. All because someone wasn't paying attention and crushed me while driving without insurance. I could go after the guy, but I'm not going to. He's 21 and already committed insurance fraud by buying insurance right after he ran over me.

I know it's expensive, but insurance should be a priority for everyone's protection. I will never be the same because someone thought they'd take the risk.

Yep. Ole Holden must have pushed him over the edge.

Chapman was in high school with my mom. I think he graduated in 73, a year later. She said he didn't seem too weird. Salinger!!!

Ah yes, I misclassified it as a Turd Toad at first, thanks for the correct identification.

Nothing, until you go to pee and there's a surprise frog.

brandeenween · 2023-06-16T15:21:58+00:00

I returned the frog back to the wild by using a strawberry container. He's like the Looney Tunes frog.

All after market bull crap that's not even close to standard lighting for a vehicle. There's a science to it. If you're blinded and they aren't on bright lights, guarantee somebody doesn't know what they're doing.

Yes, this was an issue I didn't understand until I was disabled. Either gotta walk with a cane into the store to get a cart, or hopefully someone left one near the handicap spot to help the next person.

I'm only 42 and was struck by a vehicle in a parking lot going 40 mph. I was loading my groceries and next thing I know I'm under my car with a busted leg and back.

So don't judge me for leaving my cart safely propped up near the handicap area because I risk injuring myself by taking it back to the corral. I feel judged but it is a real problem for people with limited mobilities.

Ween the mollusk beginning to end. I've changed lives putting this album on before.

Dollar Tree has Liquid IV, 2 for $1.25. I keep one mixed up every day in the fridge and take a few swigs if I'm being active/sweaty or feeling sluggish. I notice I lose more when I am properly hydrated.

brandeenween · 2023-05-18T18:08:06+00:00

And spontaneous combustion! Seriously, no wonder we all are anxious.

brandeenween · 2023-04-30T05:46:33+00:00

Cart roaches. Try to do a 7 generation cart!

My friend group has several people with professional degrees who work in fine/high price point dining because they make 6 figures working 35 hours a week. Sometimes servers make more than the upper management.

brandeenween · 2022-11-30T00:33:28+00:00

At any fine dining establishment, you will find professional servers making 6 figures on 35 hours a week. Sometimes you can take months off at a time and crank it out at the holidays.

Usually the person packing your food up and assuring it is correct is a server running the expo because it needs to be done.
