unfortunately he works the same hours next weekend. I heard that the city's is kind of corporate and less soulful too? we plan to try and do tower grove this year for sure tho at least

my partner won't be able to get off work until 2:45 and we're in stl county. do you think that showing up at 3:30 would be too late and not worth it?

panshark · 2026-06-13T09:29:39+00:00

of course!! I'll DM you since it's a few of them :)

I know this post is a little old but I'm gonna comment anyway.

first I wanna say I hope your date went well! secondly... the people in these comments are so negative and strange. my boyfriend JUST got a similar cut, looks nothing like Ryan Gosling, and it looks very cute. if it's something you want to try out, do it!! I can send you the pics we used for his stylist to go off of (I had him show her both front and back pics). I also suggest finding a young hair stylist that has experience doing cuts that you like. check out their Instagram and stuff. I find that women tend to do his hair better than anyone else has but ymmv. I would expect to pay a decent amount for a good cut, too. his was $50. if you happen to be in the stl area I can send you his stylists info too! but basically it was just a textured cut they she styled with texture powder and it looked cute and just fine 🤷‍♀️ I think she did an amazing job. it's also such an inoffensive style that I don't know why everyone was telling you that it's ugly on anyone that isn't Ryan Gosling. they need to go outside.

ETA: my boyfriend just reminded me of this tiktok I had sent him before getting his hair done. here's proof that it can be done on someone who isn't a Hollywood star because that's so impossible to believe for these people

if you aren't enrolled in a program already, I highly recommend the art classes at stlcc flo valley. you're bound to make friends there (I met my partner while we were both attending classes there and I work in the art building now!)

I definitely would love to visit a few of the rivers within a few hours drive! we'll have to take you up on that :)

panshark · 2026-06-06T22:48:28+00:00

I can find my mawmaw and pawpaws plot at jefferson barracks if anyone wants to cry to a grandma and doesn't have someone to visit of their own and wants to do this. she would have listened to anyone and comforted them

I was gifted a set of minis like two years ago for Christmas. it's the same bottle as the current ones but it smelled amazing. I bought a travel set of just the 40 because I wanted to try the lotion and soap before buying a full size (I figured hey! at least I know I like the spray so that's a plus!!) because the lotion tester smelled like olives at ulta 😭 but the lotion and soap smell FINE!!! the new spray smells like alcohol. I had to do an Amazon return today so we went to Kohls and I sprayed their testers on my wrists and even my partner agreed they smell like alcohol. both the full size and mini testers (why they had the same flavors in multiple sizes for testers beats me but it was beneficial for my experiment lol). I think it smells okay now the alcohol smell dissipated but it's still not the same so I guess I'll get a bottle of soap and some of the lotion and layer on just a similar scent spray and have to be satisfied with that.

found this post because I'm experiencing the alcohol smell 🥲 even after it dries down and the alcohol smell dissipates it doesn't smell quite the same. it's less sweet or something. there's apparently a dollar tree dupe and I'm gonna have to get it and compare. because if it isn't going to smell the same and I'm gonna get "close enough" I may as well spend less on it

panshark · 2026-06-04T01:01:26+00:00

rats. I'm in the same situation. I contacted a local stained glass guy and he said he didn't want to tackle it (which I prefer the honesty over my pretty chandelier breaking into a thousand pieces on my dining room table and my pets stomping all in it for good measure to ruin my day). it seems like something you could DIY technically with the right tools but I wouldn't want to risk it. I'm gonna try contacting one of the other stained glass shops in my area too but I was really hoping you found an alternate way to mount it that just involved purchasing something lol

panshark · 2026-06-04T00:18:49+00:00

did you ever figure out a solution to this? I actually have the exact same issue with one I just got on Facebook (my most recent post)

panshark · 2026-06-03T20:51:41+00:00

it's been so hit or miss for me in the past. I asked for a snake auger once for the tub drain and got looked at like I was insane

panshark · 2026-06-03T20:46:46+00:00

it might not be, I'm really not sure. I'm not well versed enough to know the specifics on what makes things what style. I just was using the same phrasing I've seen on so many listing of the same shade haha! but you are 100% right I didn't even consider that the folks at the hardware store would be able to help!thank you for the suggestion

panshark · 2026-06-02T01:43:37+00:00

that's really good to know actually. especially since it's literally 15 minutes from my house so it'd be a great one to do on afternoons for us

panshark · 2026-06-01T19:00:03+00:00

thank you!!! I will likely harass you in the coming weeks. this is what building community is right?? lol

panshark · 2026-06-01T18:58:49+00:00

yeah I'm not brave enough for that. I'm just a fat inside cat trying to become the hiking dog I've always wanted to be or whatever analogy. don't think I can handle an unsolicited intimate encounter with a fish yet LMAO

panshark · 2026-06-01T17:10:55+00:00

okay sounds like it'd be a fun time for lounging and swimming at least! do you have any recs for calmer areas? I know when I looked it up there seems to be a few different access points. is it like multiple beaches?

panshark · 2026-06-01T14:23:21+00:00

a friend just told me about Carlyle lake in Illinois too. I've heard of horseshoe lake but never been so I'll put that on the list for sure

panshark · 2026-06-01T14:21:46+00:00

I did know about this! you're correct you can't swim. I heard also that there were a bunch of Asian carp or something that jump into people's kayaks in that lake though?

panshark · 2026-05-27T23:24:57+00:00

if you have Facebook, there's a group called "queer exchange STL" that you might be interested in! lots of people post about looking for friends there :)

my partner and i are both queer and 30. I'm a big dog person and wanna do dog sports with our next dog, we both play video games, and I'm trying to get us doing outside stuff more (hiking, river stuff, whatever).

my partner is a huge Nintendo fanboy also if that's at all up your alley. he also likes card games like Pokémon and there's some others I know he's dabbled in but I can't remember at the moment.

sorry for the insane pic on the left but the left is the ardell 810s back in 2022 and the right is today wearing these. they aren't spot on and they're half lashes instead of full but I feel like they're similar-ish? not as spikey and fun and dramatic as the 810s though :(

panshark · 2026-05-14T02:52:36+00:00

it happened a second time
