I am on glass of wine numero uno. There's only a couple left to be had, then I have to switch to beer. Blah!
Girls with wild hair- a huge part of your problem is in the cut. You need layers and razoring. The hair has so much volume that it needs to be trimmed out. Keratin treatments are great- do em yourself at Sally's Beauty Supply, it's easy and WAY cheaper. If I let my hair be all one length I would have an afro, that shit is thinned out!
I don't do razoring, but I do have lots of layers. They need to be re-cut though, it's been awhile since I had a haircut. If I have one length to all my hair, it appears very bottom heavy.
The razor is great for blending and keeping shape to the cut. They are pretty easy to use as well, which is generally helpful if you're cutting your own hair.
Let's all hope I get laid in the next five minutes, otherwise I'm going to skeet, skeet, skeet to fuckin' Pimptress' nappy ass nugget.
Yep. For those who aren't aware, that's a MK19 Automatic Grenade Launcher. It's a machine gun that shoots grenades. And yes, it's exactly as awesome as it sounds.
Two questions, one banal and one not. Banal: is that a protocol for the socially acceptable period of time to keep wearing the same period of jeans without washing them? At what point do ones habits start to resemble the homeless? Not banal: Is there a standard thing to say on Memorial Day to someone whose family served? "Thanks" seems wrong and sort of awkward, since technically they weren't the ones serving. But I don't know what the alternative would be. And it seems like it would be nice to say something.
I once wore a pair of jeans for 3 months living abroad w/o washing them. Mostly because I lost my card that allowed me to use the laundromat in the dorms. I just aired them out. They feel better when filthy to be honest. But if you are traveling, wash them. They weigh less without the filth.
Some would say (paging Jenni) that you should never wash them, and store them in the freezer. Me, I take a different approach. Assuming no visible dirt, I'll wear a pair for around a week or 10 days time (or off an on for 7-10 days worth of wear) and then wash them. No drying, though. I hang them up overnight to dry. Drying in a machine will fade the color and shrink them. Thanks for your service is fine, in my opinion. It's best not to be too overblown, but a small nod at their service for this country is a nice thing to receive.
Banal: As long as you haven't been wearing them in a pig sty, I would say a week. I wear my jeans til they start losing that "hug" feeling. Not Banal: I believe it would depend on the person, some aren't terribly patriotic and simply enjoy their day off. Maybe ask some questions about the military member's tour, see if they have an old story about it. Then after their little story, clink drinks and say thanks.
It's along the lines of my friend's deceased father served (didn't die in service, for the record), and thought it would be nice to say something to her today.
