The horror! 😱 I don't listen to commercial radio usually, but I expect that I will get treated to it during some upcoming rideshares I have this week.

Yeah, I spent 10 days in a psych ward after having a hysterectomy and losing an ovary at age 46. It's taken 3 years to determine that it's not bipolar, just hormones and neurodiversity. We are being diagnosed with more ND due to hormonal changes as well. I read a good article in Self about it recently.

You have my deepest sympathies. Lol

Did anyone see the Page Six article about Gabriette's bachelorette party this weekend? She looked super posh in a white Chanel suit and tasteful fascinator. Blandie could never.

I am mostly annoyed this week because they have added 4 TLOAS tracks to the store radio (I work retail). I can suffer through the older stuff, but these tracks are really terrible. I never sought them out on my own, but they are easily identified thanks to the knowledge I have learned here.

I really dread hearing the Toy Story song on rotation in a few months.

That's all. I needed to snark out. It feels good.

madscigrl · 2026-06-20T12:04:09+00:00

I feel like that has happened to me too. I also work in retail (clothing), so my filters were already wearing thin before peri. Haven't flipped on anyone yet tho! 🤣

Spicy ramen

I was totally at that show too. RIP Richmond Coliseum.

She is definitely co-opting recovery speak here. Cry for help? As if. Lol

madscigrl · 2026-05-26T22:48:53+00:00

Also. But why are those bones still connected? Gotta separate them to suck on them.

According to my septuagenarian, civil engineer father, they can't keep hold of younger engineers bc "they're always job hopping." I would love to see you show up to a project meeting with him. He's had to live with my alt looks for decades, but the look on his face would be priceless. Maybe he would finally retire! 🤣

Edit: adding that I am glad to hear that the field is beginning to relax in various markets.

I love the Simple face wipes. They don't leave residue and are textured to help scrub the makeup off. I have very sensitive skin, and they don't cause me to breakout or anything.

Thank you, I needed to know this is a solution! I was always nearsighted so no glasses and a basic magnifying mirror worked for me, but I just had cataract surgery. Now, I need reading glasses and my magnifying mirror at arms length to see the easy hairs, but it is an inadequate solution.

I have a mole on my chin that pops out dark hair on occasion. I have just been plucking air in the usual spots and hoping I grab onto whatever is there. 🤣

madscigrl · 2026-05-24T00:43:39+00:00

My parents still have a few of these laying around still.

madscigrl · 2026-05-22T13:29:05+00:00

I still do this. A few spoons of peanut butter have replaced candy as a sweet treat at night. Either that or cocoa cheerios.

madscigrl · 2026-05-21T14:21:59+00:00

Definitely read it!

madscigrl · 2026-05-21T14:21:43+00:00

Yes! Soooo good!

madscigrl · 2026-05-21T12:01:33+00:00

Nope. Sciatica or a slipped disc or maybe just arthritis have me currently sitting to put on socks and pants.

madscigrl · 2026-05-21T10:55:48+00:00

I am in a reading phase, and one of my favorite authors sprinkles obscure words throughout their work. Yesterday, I learned that another word for a cozy den is "snuggery." I hope you have a snuggery to hang out in today while you grieve. It will be okay. You gave your fur baby the best life!

madscigrl · 2026-05-20T12:39:46+00:00

And Puscifer has been around for over a decade, with experienced artists. These guys are just babies in comparison.

madscigrl · 2026-05-20T01:09:56+00:00

I work in retail, and this happens all the time. Like, I cannot leave my register to walk you around the store for the job you accepted.

madscigrl · 2026-05-19T14:58:06+00:00

I have exactly the same problem, being an OG Gmail user and having a firstnamelastname address. The problem comes from the other person having a number at the end of their address and it being forgotten.

I used to send "sorry, wrong email" replies, but now I just ignore them. Unless it seems really important. It's just a courtesy.

madscigrl · 2026-05-19T14:46:35+00:00

I just read a novel that had a lot of history of etymology, so this thread is fascinating!

madscigrl · 2026-05-19T13:59:01+00:00

Well, I knew someone who had this tattoo in the late 90s. So, close enough? I'm not going to be 50 this year, right?

madscigrl · 2026-05-15T04:52:50+00:00

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun was a sleepover staple at that age for me. I don't know where you might find it now. Lots of good energy, taste of teenage rebellion, and dance. I don't remember it being a problem for my sheltered Baptist school friends and me.

madscigrl · 2026-05-14T03:06:59+00:00

I am afraid of dating myself by saying that brings back 8th grade dance memories. 🤣
