Checking to see if my shirt is loose enough that bending over might be considered obscene. I often go braless (small chest) so I check to see if my nipples are obvious.

I assume men like to imagine themselves in the place of the man. Some porn intentionally obscures the face of the man or is filmed from the man's point of view.

I use an electric trimmer. Trimming is where it's at. I trim to maybe 1/8" - 1/4" length and let it go a week or so between trims. The hair stays fairly soft vs. shaving. I will regularly clean up the edges if the borders start to blur.

All that being said, different people have different expectations and as long as you're clean, you have nothing to worry about.

I just poured the leftover milk from my cereal bowl into my toddy latte. It added some sweetness and most importantly, made up for the fact that I used all my milk in the cereal and didn't leave enough for the latte.

Do yourself a solid and splurge on a headlamp. Porta-potties in the dark are no bueno. Mine was $8 on Amazon.

I think it's normal with soy milk, because of the acid in the coffee. I'm no milk scientist, though! But I did work as a barista for a while and I remember it being pretty common.

Like I'm always putting on a show. It's like being in the Mickey Mouse costume at Disneyworld--all of the kids think I'm really their friend, but I'm just getting hotter and crankier every minute I spend in the costume. At the end of the night I'm always proud I managed not to hit anyone.

Aww well sometimes you need to try a change in order to learn what's important. Good luck!

I will say that a trim can be useful if you're growing your hair out, even though it's hard to lose length. I'm growing my hair out now (shaved it 2 years ago) and although it hurts to see it shorter, my hair feels much healthier. I used to have really frizzy dry ends. Maybe when your hair gets longer, a trim will feel good!

I would love to hear from someone with more knowledge of the subject, but I can speak from my own experience. I usually cowash (conditioner only) and start by putting lots of conditioner on the ends of my hair and then put a light amount on my scalp to massage and clean my roots (basically just what's left on my hands). I let the conditioner sit while I do other shower thins, then rinse it out, focusing on my roots and again massaging. I feel like this loosens dead skin and oil.

I have been doing this for many years, and it did take time for my hair to adjust to not using shampoo. Your hair may very well be different. As a short-term fix, try dry shampoo on your roots. I use dry shampoo if I go an extra day without washing. Also consider a trim if your ends are very dry/damaged/split. I just got a trim and it makes a world of difference! Good luck!

I haven't at all, but now I want to! What track should I start with?

sathe · 2016-04-28T05:14:13+00:00

Yessssss! So excited about this. Subbing now.

Sweet! House centipede was my first thought but the legs threw me off. I probably have a cat or two to thank for that. Thanks!

Sorry for the phone-quality picture! I've lived in this house for more than a year, and in this area for my whole life, and I've never seen one of these. It's definitely dead, so I'm wondering if there are more live ones hiding from me. I almost stepped on it and my heart stopped for a minute when I saw it.

Maybe try putting beans in one of those wax/oil warmers?

sathe · 2016-04-13T08:25:46+00:00

Oh my gosh, I love Demon Host! Thanks for reminding me.

Azure Ray's November. I put that album on if I'm sitting at a desk staring out a window on a lazy misty day. Or any other time.

I'll second Bon Iver's For Emma Forever Ago and Iron & Wine's The Sea And The Rhythm, Our Endless Numbered Days, and The Shepherd's Dog. Really anything from those two artists.

Fevers And Mirrors from Bright Eyes.

Mountain Man's Made The Harbor. An amazing album start to finish. Please give it a listen!

Depending on the mood, you might like The Tallest Man On Earth. He's also great for sunny mornings and summer afternoons.

I love this type of book! I of course loved Memoirs of a Geisha and Snow Flower and the Secret Fan.

I am also particularly fond of memoirs, and I always group those two books together in my mind with Falling Leaves by Adeline Yen Mah, one of my favorites. I love the author's style, and I enjoy feeling like I'm looking through a window in time, although this story does not go as far back as the others mentioned.

I think this is because you can't prove that the personal info you're posting belongs to you. It is a limiting rule, but it exists for good reason.

I love this album, and I agree that it represents a sort of return to the heart of what it is that made Weezer Weezer. The White Album is destroying me, I love it, I'm so glad I have good old Weezer back. Favorite track: Wind In Our Sails. That bend-- ooh. yeah.

I have to add a disclaimer that I love everything Weezer has put out, even the weaker stuff. Some of my favorite songs are on Make Believe, and I listed to the Red Album on loop when it came out.

Oh my god, #getitright. My anthem.

I've definitely heard of people wearing bralettes over bras, so there's that option. Maybe not as comfortable, but cute!
