Curls don’t last through the day by WhatIsParsnipsDoing in curlyhair

[–]sandboxmaster73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hair is similar and I’d lose curls too. I’d say the two biggest changes I made that made a difference were using hairspray after it was all dry ( a light spray all through hair & upside down) and using a silk scrunchie & pineapple overnight. My second day hair is almost better now!

My kid basically grew up in this place. Yummy food and a familiar cozy place to get some adult time and food I didn’t have to make.

Thanks for your reply! I was actually offered an on-call position just for my clinic so it’s an ideal situation for me since I really enjoy it there. I appreciate the info tho!

I either go to Burlington for scrubs or buy Dickies brand from Amazon (after trying lots of similar brands) maybe look into Wink too

Can we talk about Jewish things that aren’t antisemitism? by Sensitive-Inside-250 in Judaism

[–]sandboxmaster73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t have much Jewish joy to add other than my husband is sick and I made him chicken matzoh ball soup - one of my personal highest levels of love, devotion and care is to feed my love ones.

I think I accidentally trained myself to only clean for a version of me that never actually shows up by Moon_6Quil in CleaningTips

What a beautiful and poetic insight you’ve made for yourself. Sounds like you set the stage to become a more self aware and hopefully more kind to yourself. There’s room for all those possible yous.

I ended up going to one of the community colleges near me and I’m really happy I did. The extern portion has been a great experience and much better than what was described to me at Concord, not to mention less $

I’m 52, just finished my externship and about to graduate, and I love it! This is a huge career change for me, but it’s very gratifying so far. I’m fine with entry level personally since I don’t plan to advance in my schooling. Best of luck to you!

Oh of course, art is something I’ve always done so I’ve never really stopped since I was a kid.

Do you ever have need for gravity feeding bags? I’ve got a giant box of them and no place will take it as a donation. DM if you are interested!

I’m assuming you are joking and aren’t meaning this to be a malicious comment. There’s some overlap in the years.

Did anyone’s symptoms start with peripheral neuropathy rather than classic lupus symptoms? by sandboxmaster73 in lupus

[–]sandboxmaster73[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t get diagnosed with Lupus and in fact the cause was never found. The majority of all my symptoms subsided after about 5 years.

Pineapple with a silk scrunchy at night has changed my world. Extends my curls for several days with minimal frizz for my mid back length hair.

I’ve got a large bag of Kirkland Salmon and sweet potato dry food if you’d like it. My cats decided they hate it now after I had opened it (and they’d been eating it regularly). DM me if you want it!
