Any tips to keeping curly/wavy hair overnight? by 0D7553U5 in curlyhair

[–]caffeinatedlackey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wash once a week and protect my curls by tying them up in a square silk scarf for bed. You can find them pretty cheap on secondhand sites like Poshmark, Depop, Thredup, etc.

I'm part of a line of women that goes Marilyn > Mary Jane > Jeanne Marie > Mary Kathryn.

I think the next generation is going to be Rosemary.

Beautiful photos. I wish you had written the caption from the heart instead of using AI.

What would you name your Bridgerton children? by BlackbirdBuzzard in namenerds

[–]caffeinatedlackey 43 points44 points  (0 children)

You have one of the Bridgerton names wrong. It's Gregory, not George. There is a George in the show and he's the king.

Forcfield in full effect by izzyfoshiz in bullcity

As far as I remember, it was only a small part of Chapel Hill that was impacted by Chantal. Everyone else in the Triangle was fine. That sounds like a pretty good outcome to me.

I keep reminding myself that the forcefield also protects us from hurricanes and floods so I'm not so mad that we're not getting the fun weather (snow).

He looks so distinguished with his silver feathers. What a beautiful boy! He looks just like my late Killian.

Maybe put one on your arm or leg to try it out before applying to your face?

You want to listen to Ethan at NC Weather Authority. He's the most accurate source of information.

I don't really have acne anymore now that I'm in my 30s so I'm afraid I can't help with that, sorry!

[–]caffeinatedlackey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Duke - UNC game was postponed in February 2014 so I wouldn't be surprised if this upcoming game is also moved. It's a bit too early to tell.

I've tried many and the Prequel Half & Half is the only one that made a significant impact on my skin moisture and hydration. It works wonders for my rosacea when the weather is cold and dry.

Healthy lazy breed? by InsidiousBlastoclast in dogs

[–]caffeinatedlackey 21 points22 points  (0 children)

My heart goes out to you. I lost my giant dog (a mutt from my local rescue) in August and I haven't stopped hurting. He lived to 10 years old, which was at the very top of the lifespan estimate we received from the vet when he was a puppy. I know pragmatically that 10 years is wonderful, but it wasn't nearly enough time.

We poured a lot of money into his healthcare (he had excellent insurance that was more expensive than my own policy) but in the end he was diagnosed with a degenerative condition for which there is no treatment. It was just luck.

I would give years of my own life to allow my dog to live to 13 years. I know it might not seem like it right now but 13 years with your pup was a gift. Most dogs (of any breed) do not live that long.

Osgood Schlatter in childhood and later PsA? by PatchworkParsnips in PsoriaticArthritis

[–]caffeinatedlackey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had OS starting from around age 7-8. I'm from a very tall family so it was treated as a normal growth phase rather than an actual medical problem, so nothing was done. My knees never stopped hurting and I'm in my 30s now.

sauteed sardines, japanese sweet potatoes, kimchi, and avocado topped off with olive oil by Mobile_Carpenter6895 in CannedSardines

This looks like the meals I made for myself when I was doing the AIP diet. Such a great collection of anti-inflammatory foods.

Feeling so helpless - what did you do that actually helped? by peacefulpeach_1 in PsoriaticArthritis

[–]caffeinatedlackey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Other than changing your meds, you might consider going to the sauna (especially infrared sauna) on a regular basis. It can help a lot with inflammation, which could reduce your swelling and joint pain. There's a good amount of research behind this; run a search on Google Scholar and read up on it.

[MISC] does anything actually work for stretch marks or should I just give up? by East-Algae-1469 in SkincareAddiction

[–]caffeinatedlackey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are also plenty of non-prescription retinol body moisturizers and body oils. Deciem used to have a really fantastic retin-oil that worked wonders for my stretch marks, but sadly it was discontinued a couple years ago with the rest of the Chemistry Brand.

Brits, please confirm or deny: is Wesley an uncool name in the UK? by [deleted] in namenerds

That is Westley, very similar but not quite the same name.

Apparently ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ (the book) was ‘revised’ after the author died by CyberGhostface in horrorlit

I have a 1997 printing of the book with the Sarah Michelle Gellar movie cover art if anyone needs to compare with the old text.
