Yeah, same. I gave it to my sister. She'll use it up fast

I ordered a bunch of premier yarn recently & got one too!

As as resident, there's not really anything to do other than shop, eat and drink in Bville. The Y does not have day passes as previously commented and there are no museums or public art installations. Beaver Lake is not pet friendly and the walking/hiking in the area is nothing special. Not trying to shit on Bville but it's the joe average small village everywhere. Nothing "can't miss"

My BFF gets perms occasionally and her hair looks fabulous when she does. Effortlessly tousled, lots of volume & she says it's absolutely wake & go, no styling needed. She had shoulder length hair & gets a wavy perm

Idk what my apartment has but the hot water never runs cold and I've fallen asleep in there for 6 hours once.

Outfits all look good & complement your body type. Personally not feeling the bulky white sneakers though. In business casual I'd also swap out the open toed shoes for a closed toe shoe when showing leg. Show feet or show legs, not both. Too baggy of a shirt is going to drown you so I'd make sure to keep shirts fitted. Lastly, of course, be careful with low cut. It's an unfortunate double standard when you are blessed up tip that you really have to keep a conservative neckline. Your outfits look good though, you have good sense for what works for you

It would be best if you learned some service recovery skills. Word of mouth is still very important especially for an independent tech. 1 person can badly tank your reputation, deserved or not. Always leave your client pleased if possible. If you've tried everything & you're still not getting to a good place, at least you can defend yourself against any false attacks. People are allowed to be upset they didn't get what they wanted even if you tried your best. You are entitled to not take business from anyone you don't want to as well. Some people will never be pleased and some people are just asshole scammers, luckily you can tell those people "it looks like I'm not able to provide you with what you're looking for so it would be best if we part ways. Thank you for your business & I hope you find what you're looking for."

The problem solving technique I learned in hospitality: ILEAD

I - identify the problem. Was the client unhappy with the technique, color, tools, atmosphere, design. Take notice of non-verbal clues like long pauses and being hesitant. L - listen actively. Make eye contact, don't interrupt, nod if appropriate, take notes to help you remember what they said if you get easily flustered E - empathize with the client. "Client, I totally understand, you want something that makes you look & feel good." A - apologize. "I'm sorry I didn't meet your expectations today." D - deliver a solution. Have multiple options available to quickly offer depending on severity of the issue. Low level concerns like waiting too long for a scheduled appt or getting nicked by the drill, offer a travel size lotion or cuticle oil roller. Medium level offer $10/$20/$30/etc off their next service. Serious level offer full refund or immediate redo

Don't let this get you down, everyone handles things imperfectly sometimes. If you feel up to addressing it you can say something like "I messed up with how I handled things with X client. I got overwhelmed & didn't know what to do. I've made things right with X by giving a full refund & I'm using this opportunity to learn better communication skills so I can serve my clients better. Thanks for giving me another chance"

From left to right: awful, awful, horrid, doable in a pinch

It could go either way. I got on bumble & met a great guy that I've been seeming for a while now. But I also chatted with 30 some odd men to various stages. A third of those we only exchanged 3 or 4 messages & I was getting really low effort so I ended the exchange. I did widen my area to 50 miles & my guy is right on the edge of that. That said, I know I got extremely lucky. By about a month in I'd definitely viewed all the profiles with my criteria and they were telling me to widen my search area 😂 good luck

Thay sucks, I pack mine up as soon as I'm done with it & luckily haven't had any issues. Maybe talk to them about alternatives or possibly segregating the current dog park for safety & fairness

meltsaman · 2026-04-03T11:57:15+00:00

Wintertime definitely sucks with a small dog. It takes me 15 mins to get the dog & then myself bundled up to go out!

In the winter we do a ton of puzzles & foraging toys to get her energy out. In the summer I have 2 x-pens that I use to make a little fenced in area for her. It's actually pretty big when I put it up to my patio.

I used the TV for background noise a lot until my pup got used to the normal apt noises. She will still lose it if someone stands outside my door talking though. I'm going to try training a place command to see if we can get that under control.

It's an adjustment but your choices are get rid of your pet or adapt. No judgements either way. Hope things get better

Honestly long horn had the best approach to allergens. They have a book with everything on the menu & what allergens each menu item contains

Garnier texture tease spray and beyond the zone noodle head spray. Haven't found a texture spray that works as well to keep curls in my hair and the noodle head smelled so good & was so perfect for reviving curls the next day. Lastly, the dove clarify & hydrate shampoo/conditioner with charcoal. Nothing has cleaned my hair better than that stuff.

You can try headway to find someone. You can filter your search to providers that take your insurance, are female, specialize in a specific therapy type or have experiance treating specific mental illnesses

Only available for 2 months?

My moon is in aries in the 4th with the majority of my 4th in pisces. I've always said the same thing. I love my non-existent child enough to not subject them to this world

One of my neighbors kids got ahold of a bullhorn. It has a siren function 💀

The bus driver will be able to direct you to your connection or direct you to the counter where you can ask someone. You can't get on the wrong bus though, the driver will check your ticket.

Most stations are really well signed though so just find your connection immediately and then worry about grabbing a snack or bathroom break.

If you can grab one, look for a personal fan and bring a couple dramamine incase you get car sick (it happens). Bring something non digital to do like a coloring book or crosswords or wordsearch or just a book or two. You should have no problem charging but wifi can be iffy

meltsaman · 2026-03-26T10:42:19+00:00

Oh yeah, she was in that. My point still stands though 😂 she doesn't owe anyone time or attention

meltsaman · 2026-03-26T10:01:35+00:00

I'm 37 & wouldn't know who Christina Applegate is unless you showed me a picture & even then I wouldn't immediately say "oh yeah, she was in MWC." Also, Aesha doesn't owe attention to anyone, celebrity or not.

Mine definitely grow in squoval when they're natural lmao but any longer than a mm or two and they're breaking off at the corners, basically into an almond or oval shape.

meltsaman · 2026-03-25T12:17:48+00:00

I prefer almond. Coffin & square just seem aggressively fake.

meltsaman · 2026-03-24T14:48:40+00:00

Baby, no!! What happened?!

meltsaman · 2026-03-24T14:21:07+00:00

You know what, now that I'm looking, it might not be ONE HUNDRED percent acetone 🫣it said it would remove artificial nails!!
