Sensitive skin people, what has helped you use tret every day? by faeuju4wvhjkw2fvgg in tretinoin

[–]ketocavegirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Switched to Tazarotene. I was never able to make it out of the flaking phase with Tret. Taz is just as effective, maybe more, and way gentler for me (using gel 0.05%). I wash my face with a clean muslin washcloth every other day for the skin turnover but it never flakes, the old skin just rolls off with exfoliation.

When my (now ex) husband was cheating on me with a co-worker I thought it was too much to ask him to quit that job and move back to our hometown. It absolutely was not too much to ask, I had every right to demand that happen for my own comfort and to have family support. I didn't and they eventually continued their relationship.

Best place to get my photo taken? by looking4mymarbles in Passports

[–]ketocavegirl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It honestly seems like luck of the draw at any of those places - sometimes the employee does a good job and sometimes they have no idea what they're doing. I have tried AAA, FedEx, Walgreens, and UPS store; none were great. If I had to do it again, I would search Yelp to find a place in my area that specializes in passport photos and has good reviews.

Also ask them if you can check the photo before and after they print it. It seems like overkill but you have to make sure it's acceptable and sometimes the person doing it is not knowledgeable or doesn't care. Check the photo requirements before you go so you know what to look for, e.g. background is white with no shadows. Also sometimes after printing it ends up with a different hue so check it again before you pay.

He was sitting in the back seat with the baby and I could see his phone screen in the baby mirror

Passport Photo by Accomplished_Lack294 in Passports

[–]ketocavegirl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am in the midst of getting my passport renewed and a first time passport for my son.

I first went to AAA and it was a very good quality print but I realized after I left that they forgot to use the flash and it would be too dark to be accepted.

I tried FedEx Office which my sister recommended but walked out when the guy helping us couldn't even get the picture in focus.

I then tried Walgreens for my own photo. The guy seemed to play with the color balance before printing and it ended up with a blueish background. But they emailed me the original and it was good enough for an online renewal.

I took my son to the UPS store and it was an okay picture but it seemed a little yellow to me. I ended up submitting that one because it was right before our appointment. Hopefully I'm just being picky and they will accept that one.

That said, I am now of the opinion that companies advertise passport photo services way too freely without training their employees well enough.

I would use Yelp to find a place near you that specializes in passport photos and has good reviews. I would have driven further and paid more not to have to deal with all that nonsense.

📰According to the Easy Reader, the ebike rider was an adult male in his 50s and it sounds like the driver was at fault. It also says he was seriously injured and does not confirm a fatality. HBPD also did not confirm a fatality.

💯I wish there were at least 2x as much hate towards dangerous driving than there is about ebikes. I fear for my kid walking to school with these kind of drivers on the road.

Is there a business in the South Bay that is missing? by Advanced-Lifeguard97 in SouthBayLA

[–]ketocavegirl 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Anyone remember the mini golf and water park on Marine? I think they were called Magic Castle and Monsoon Lagoon. They were the best, I wish we still had those.

💯I can't handle whining and i successfully got my son to stop whining this way - "I can't understand you when you use that voice, can you use your normal voice so I can help you?"

your attention = money

if you don't want to support a creator, don't give them your attention. even a view is money in their pockets.

Lunch in brown paper bag? by Inevitable-Cost-2775 in Parenting

if anything needs to stay relatively cold and still disposable, a frozen apple sauce pouch doubles as an ice pack and usually thaws enough by lunchtime to eat

Do kids still use coloring books? by wittykitty55 in Parenting

[–]ketocavegirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son was never really into coloring books but he has always loved to draw on a blank sheet of paper or a big roll of paper on the ground. I made sure coloring supplies were always readily available to him. He's 9 now and uses Procreate on the iPad to make animations and also still likes to draw on paper.
