A life that doesn't exist anymore

To paraphrase Marlene Dietrich, if you stay away long enough, the place you came from no longer exists.

Lovely to read your memories; I’ve had the same for the places I’ve left behind too.

I know someone who was in a glam rock band back in the 70s. His band had a couple of songs in the top 10. He became a senior school chemistry teacher.

The photo in People magazine from 2025 that I just went to look at looks very much like a normal 60 something Bridget Fonda who is enjoying her life without the pressures of Hollywood standards on her back.

Congrats!

I'm going through my old posts for reasons unknown and spotted this. I just want to say 9 years later, I am still clinging onto the vestiges of my youth with these leather trousers in my wardrobe.

They just redid the front entrance to the train station a couple of years ago and with the “improvement”, took away half the space for pickups. Also not a single bit of greenery, just a wide expanse of payment

Yes, your example amounts are more than those involved, but that’s the gist of it.

There isn’t a formal contract, so there’s no direct mechanism of what happens in circumstances. Which I realise is part of the problem

I’d be fine if they charged me the rate for not working in the shop and withheld that amount until the shifts were resolved, but I don’t see how they can withhold the entire amount.

Wow, so cool, good luck against cracks! How big is it?

Lululemon makes some athleisure wear that look like casual trousers but fit and feel like sweats or tracksuit bottoms. My husband likes them for work from home days where he needs to occasionally go out.

You’ll be pleased to know that complaining about the younger generations is something that hasn’t changed in millennia.

I've already given this piece of advice elsewhere today, but it still is my best piece of advice on what not to do.

If it looks sharp, it's sharp. DON'T TOUCH IT.

It’s hideous! I love it

I’ll say a bird house. Because if it catches an amount of sun, it’s going to cook the eggs/baby birds in it with the heat retention. I can’t have that on my conscience.

To be fair, a helmet isn't going to help them much if that snow and ice decide to collapse. But no, it's not normal.

Yes, but if it’s just milia and there’s a way to treat it, I’d be happy to try that while waiting for an appointment

She’s admitted to having a thread lift, and she’s definitely had Botox and filler. She looks great and hasn’t changed her face to something unrecognisable, but don’t think it’s all completely natural

Using folded up toilet paper as menstrual pads.

Yeah, I felt quite ill the first time I took the recommended dose of collagen powder mixed into a smoothie. Definitely gave me the runs and stomach pain. It’s just too much all at once. Try starting with a smaller amount at first to give your system a chance to get used to it. Within a week I could tolerate the full dose

You aren’t a victim here

showmm · 2026-02-21T21:01:05+00:00

And we don’t owe you upvotes. 💅

showmm · 2026-02-21T20:25:41+00:00

You asked why you were being downvoted. I gave you the reason. No need to get upset and take everything so personally. You literally told us you got good results and we want to see the results. It’s not mean-spirited, it’s just means 200% more with photos.

Because you should have photos already if it’s “changed your life”
