As I get older my eyebrows piss me off. I’m gonna need tiny rubber bands to fashion my new eyebrow ponytails.
I tell my daughter I’m going to be Biff for Halloween when she starts threatening mine.
It’s been a mild winter, which is not a bad thing, exactly.
but I’m getting really tired of the wildly fluctuating temperatures of “early” spring.
Today it was forty-ish when I went to work (at 4:30 am), the air didn’t feel cold, but there was frost on my windshield I had to remove before I could drive safely. By the time I left work, I was comfy in just a fleece jacket (and t-shirt. Turtleneck had been removed. turtleneck was worn most of work day, not so much on the fleece jacket). When I went out this evening, it was sixty-ish.
Rumor has it there might be snow or ice this weekend, but I’ll believe it when I see it.
I’ve had a flu shot every year for at least the last ten. But I’ve been suffering from very flu-like symptoms for five days now. I ache all over, I can’t stop sneezing, sore throat, my eyes burn, and my chest hurts when I sneeze or blow my nose. I’m alternately too hot or too cold and my nose has a burning sensation inside.
Flu shot certainly didn’t prevent this one. And worst yet, I gave it to my wife who is about two days behind me. And, no, misery does not like company in this case.
Someone in a bar 30 years ago told me that bushy eyebrows make a guy look older, so ever since then I have been trimming them. I have a small clipper with a 1/8" comb, zip zip and I’m done in a few seconds.
I’ve never understood this one. If the poop is underwater, what good is a flush going to do you?
High fat-content poop floats; high water-content poop mixes with the water in the bowl. Getting it delivered to the sewage system ASAP really can reduce the amount of suffering people in other stalls have to endure.
My husband has his trimmed whenever he gets a haircut. What’s left of his hair is curly, and it becomes an unruly mess if he lets it grow for too long. His eyebrows are curly, too, so it’s nearly impossible for him to trim them himself.
This.
Also, the flush will entrain some of the gas mixture in the bowl.
And the next person is less likely to have to see your shit stains in the bowl if you don’t leave the shit sitting on it, even underwater. It only takes two seconds and there’s no good reason not to.
I’m so jealous. I’d kill to have eyebrows.
Huh. My blood pressure is usually low, but at my last appointment the PA used an automated BP reader and got some numbers were *really *low. When the doctor came in, he re-did the BP check manually (sphygmomanometer and stethoscope), got a more believable number, and bitched about how those automated BP devices routinely report incorrectly low numbers.
pohjonen, can you ask them to do a manual blood pressure reading?
Huh. I don’t think I’ve ever produced a “floater”, but don’t really want to flush while having diarrhea since that would splash it back up on my bare bum!
Trust me - the explosively erruptive events destroying the stall in question were producing plenty of splashback. Theres NO WAY it could be otherwise. It sounded like a cross between an active mud-pot* and firehose. Only worse. MUCH worse. AND he was yakking on the phone during the horrific event.
*(See GQ for current discussions on those)
That kinda sounds like a flush wouldn’t do much good! 
Better than nothing. At the very least, it would show some awareness of others and a bit of basic courtesy.
I can’t believe I just read through all that while eating lunch at work.
If you’re going to watch a play, and you’re so sick that you loudly snort/hack/cough/almost dry-heave through the whole performance, maybe that’s a sign you should’ve stayed home.
Go home, Mother Nature. You’re drunk.
(comfortable shirt-sleeve weather yesterday evening, sleet shifting to hard snow this morning)
