I recently went away and opted out of the scanner. Both heading out and coming home the pat down was no biggie and the TSA agents were really nice. I was actually pretty shocked after all the horror stories I've heard

The places near me were butchering my eyebrows and I wax them myself now. I use the Gigi hard wax. The first two times were the general meh that I was paying $25 a pop for, but last night they ended up perfect. I'm hooked and everything cost me less than getting two brow waxes would.
Along the same lines, I looked at all the pretty color-coordinated bookshelf pics on TN and kept thinking, "How do you find anything?!" In my new flat, I decided to give it a try when I went to put my books away. I figured that if I went insane, I could always go back to sorting by subject and author.
Sure enough, it takes me forever to find anything, and sometimes I have to look it up on Goodreads to see what color it is! But the other day I was talking with DBF on Skype, and he was looking at the background and said, "You know, you may not be able to find anything, but the bookshelves do look pretty!" Somehow that made it all worth it.
I've never been one to organize books beyond cookbook shelf, my bookshelves, H's booksheves (that my books somehow wonder onto). I color coordinated on of my bookshelves and have found it surprisingly easier to find books because I tend to know what the cover of the book I'm looking for looks like so it's easier to just go to that color and start looking. It's also easy to put them away when they're sorted by color. I'm way to lazy to put them away where they belong if they were sorted by author.
...Also, Our Bodies, Ourselves. I own 3 or 4 editions of it, but have never read it straight through...
I read it and ended up feeling disappointed. It was like they were trying so hard to be all-inclusive that they lost all messages that were actually about our bodies.
What messages did you feel like they missed? Or did you feel like they missed messages all together?
I know OBOS well and that "world" is one in which you provide the information and try to be accepting of everything and don't provide your own commentary or messages. So, this is making me laugh my ass off. I'm not surprised at all.

It looks like they're also taking input and recommendations on expanding the list a bit. The link is towards the top.
The books on the list I've read I really enjoyed and would love to revisit. There are a few that I've never properly completed like Silent Spring (I wrote an A paper on it, but saying I read it would be a half truth). Also, Our Bodies, Ourselves. I own 3 or 4 editions of it, but have never read it straight through. A few titles would be semi hard to read through like Joy of Cooking. I guess I could make it work and just read the informative sections and skip the recipes.
The more I'm thinking about it, the more I think I probably want to read through this list. I have a few books to read before I'll consider it, but talk to me in a month and it may be happening.

The Library of Congress posted a list of the books that shaped America. I've read a chunk of them, own a few that I haven't gotten around to reading and there are a few I have zero interest in reading (I'm looking at you Hemingway), but overall I think it's a pretty good list.

Colpopscopys while not super fun times, are really quick and not super painful. I coughed and it was over. All the cool kids have HPV. Try to not worry about it too much

You have got to be kidding me. You don't understand how you're acting like a spoiled little bitch?? Give her her money back and have whatever kind of wedding you want to have. If the other parents involved are fine with you using the money they gave you for a down payment GREAT use that for a down payment, if they're not give that back too and save up your own damn money for a house.

Dear Bossman,
While I understand that you own the business and can do what you want, the fact that you have left work around 1pm every day this week to go have playtime with your friends makes me stabby. I've worked here for 7 years and your greedy ass throws a hissy fit when I take any of the meager 2 weeks of vacation time. I know it's hard for you to learn to do new things, but it is all very easy to do. Also, it's called compromise. You give me three weeks of vacation time and smile and happily hold shit together while I'm gone and in return I will continue to run the place so you can enjoy yourself far away from the office.
Sincerely,
Burnt Out Employee that hasn't gone away for more than a long weekend in 2.5 years
He brushed it off and said "it just seems like you're doing things to draw attention to youself lately."
He's gained a bit of weight lately, and is feeling insecure about it. Rather than doing anything about it, he's projecting his insecurities on to me. We've played this game before, the difference is, I'm calling him on his shit this time.
What an ass-munch. Why haven't you rid yourself of his face?
I first read this as "Why haven't you rid yourself ON his face."
While I'm certain going to the bathroom on your H ultimately won't fix any problems, I think it has potential to teach him not to put his wife down.
Team you. I hope he wises up. What the hell game is he playing? Is it one of those interminable RPGs that people end up so addicted to, like World of Warcraft?
lol. not sure. he has an Xbox. that's all I know.
At this point I would probably be inclined to give X something liquid-y and let him loose with it near the Xbox.
Your H can't be butt hurt if he's the one choosing to stay up so late he can't wake is grown ass up in the morning.

Ha awesome. I have a vendor at work that types in dots. It almost impossible to even read what she's writing because she puts them between almost every other word. The worst part is that when she screws things up she does it more and I want to jump through the computer and throttle her.

After watching me struggle doing small amounts and having to melt wax off myself for 4 days (yes I was determined, but could only bare so much each day) I think he felt bad enough that he was willing to do whatever he needed to to make my whimpering stop. Technically, he doesn't know he's my perma waxer yet, but he'll find out soon enough.

I recently did this. It was a disaster until I realized having H rip that shit off was so much easier and less painful. He's now been hired as my official waxer.
