I honestly use mane and tail shampoo not because I'm a horse but it works well and I have a lot of it left over

"not because I'm a horse" Suuuuuuuuure.XD

 

[Vanessa Howl]

I wanna smell like lavender! Not wood!

I wanna smell like ant pheromones so I can rise a army of ants to do my evil bidding as I rule the world as queen.

They have yet to mass produce that, though so I'm shit outta luck.

I just want something with no fragrance. So difficult to find soap that is un-scented in the US,
or yoghurt that isn't 'low fat'. I want my fat damnit! >:{

yea... the cheep stuff all has sents

the no sent kinds are usually slightly higher end... never made sense why the lack of a non filler ingredient makes it cheeper

I don't know what was in that fluid when I got my scans but its doing something to help me out
My swelling is magically going down and I don't know how/why. I noticed it minutes after the scan too, my upper back isn't puffy anymore. Maybe the rest of my legs will go back to normal too? ;w;

Yay Tyra's butt's saved!

You might like making homemade yogurt. It's pretty easy. I used to make it with my Instant Pot but my dad does it with a rice cooker. (Just boils the milk a while, turns it off, lets the milk cool a bit, adds the culture, puts a blanket over it so it stays warm for a while, lets it sit for like eight hours.)

Just finished sleeping thinking it was Tuesday when I finally woke up.

Twice I remember opening my eyes to see my clock say it was 1am and I was like 'shit, might as well sleep until tomorrow'
Then when I officially wake up it's 10pm and it's still monday

f you can pay for your way into Canada, I've got a spare room ToT

Wow. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I don't see an opportunity to move to another country in the foreseeable future. And I don't even know where we could move to right now. I still haven't started earning.
I would move to Karelia, but the region is depressed there, in the sense that there is absolutely no work - and I can't provide for us now. The climate will not allow me to survive on vegetables that I grow myself, so.
Sigh. I hope I can convince my mom not to panic. (although I am horrified by the situation myself). But we need another year. I don't want us to sell our house - and then, because of another jump in the ruble, we could only buy a washing machine. Our grandmother had such an experience in the 90s.
Just a cry of the soul.

Have you looked into Dove? I liked the dove sensitive skin bars. They also make shampoo like that too. They don’t have fragrances and are pretty cheap.

Same reason there is men's shampoo: if it's not FOR MEN then they don't want it.

It's weird how insecure men can be about the most stupid shit.

It's funny but. Shampoos for men often have a richer and pungent smell. Men are smelly, they need soap FOR SMELLY HAIRY MEN!

 

[Deleted member 160111]

I rarely wash my skin completely. But when I do this, I like to use shampoo or soap with a sharp refreshing smell, I even had a shampoo with pepper extract - I smelled of pepper lol. Hot pepper.
But I love the smell of tar, and I often wash with tar soap. It's cheap and cleans up all sorts of rubbish well, I also wash my head with it. My grandfather also usually washes with tar soap.
God, I'm so old at 22. Literally everyone who gets to know me better compares me to grandfather. And I like it. My gender is grandfather.

And then I'm just over here being content so long as my cat thinks i smell good.XD

I don't think Bulgaria is part of the Schengen zone. That means there will be some form of bureaucracy at the border, and some companies might just not bother with over-land transport as a result.

Well I contacted GoPro's support. Basically, this is because they ship via UPS but UPS delivers through a contractor in Bulgaria, and they cannot deliver "standalone" lithium batteries like this. The guy said that if I purchase the charger + two batteries from a local third-party vendor, they'll refund me one of the batteries since it's impossible for me to order any from the official store.

I was planning on buying the charger pack anyway, so I might as well try it.

Bigots being bigots is bad enough. Bigots in power being bigots is worse. I'm in a significantly grouchier mood as a result of their actions. (Won't elaborate because politics, this is just me saying "politicians are making me angry.")

Also, I've been reading a few romance novels. Slowly, chapter by chapter. And the publisher is SO FUCKING HYPOCRITICAL. From the guidelines on their website:

[We prohibit] content glorifying any form of abuse or violence against animals or people, including but not limited to, non-consensual sex ie. rape, incest, bestiality

2/3 novels I've been reading contain some flavor of "heavily eroticized/romanticized rape and/or (so far implied, but there were content warnings for it so I'm pretty confident that's what it is) incest is about to happen, but gets interrupted by outside forces." And, like... They explicitly recruit writers for this sub-label of theirs from stories that gain popularity on their website. Allegedly they also have editors going through the story before publication. So they chose to promote these stories, that are very blatantly playing the "I'm not touching you" game. Badly - apparently only penis-in-orifice penetration and maybe more-than-momentary tongue-on-genitals counts to them. So second base is absolutely fine regardless of consent.

Like, beyond it being tropey and getting tired as fuck at this point I don't care much about the content as such. If you want to tease at non-con or they-don't-know-they're-related incest, whatever, go nuts. It's middling-quality-at-best romance/erotica delivered in bite-sized pieces. It's just... can you not say you will delete non-consensual sex on sight while at the same time actively soliciting it for publication? It makes you look even more sketchy than you already do.

I don't want to do the computer stuff at all lol.

Hire me as your secretary. I promise I won't write "dicks dicks dicks" on your important documents. Much.

From what I hear 1) it's good stuff and 2) that's kind of the point of it - that both you and your horse can use it.

Get this stuff. They probably have a bar version as well if you prefer it.
Like, Dr. Bronner's has a lot of crazy talk printed on the label (if you read the backstory of the company it makes sense, but the doctor's delivery is still pretty loopy), hence me usually referring to it as "crazy soap," but it's fucking good stuff and the company generally has good values. Even if its owners sometimes go a bit overboard in order to communicate them.

I'm finding scented cat litter is getting more and more popular - before I changed brands I had to be super careful to read the labeling to make sure I wouldn't have a cat smelling like flowers (in a very off-putting, chemical way). And a dog groomer I watch on YouTube seems to always finish off her grooms by spraying the dogs down with cologne. What's with humans and wanting things to smell like not-themselves? At least the dog cologne is usually things like "sugar cookie" or whatever. Less gross than super-chemical synthetic flower smells.

I had the opportunity to try several types of cat fillers, but almost all of them were terrible for me. The only flavored filler that I have met and used is a silica gel with a mint flavor, or something like that. It had almost no smell in fact.
I like to use a filler made of pressed sawdust of coniferous trees. They absorb well, and are generally comfortable.
My cat smells like "nothing" and I love smelling him.

I like wooden pellet litter (used the brand PeeWee for some time) but ragdoll isn’t a big fan, and my Litter Robot needs clumping litter, so it had to go. Right now I use World’s Best Cat Litter, which is corn-based. Less dusty than the clay-based litter I’ve used, and smells pretty good even when wet, so that’s a win.

It was only when I accidentally bought some flower-scented EverClean that the cat smelled like artificial flower field. It was terrible.

Thank you! Wood pellet litter is the absolute best. I have always preferred it.

The reduced tracking is definitely an upside. I find my cats have been a bit less likely to cover their waste with the pellet litter, presumably because it’s got a bit more resistance to digging. Mostly, though, ragdoll just didn’t seem inclined to use it.

The corn-based litter is still more environmentally friendly than clay, and as easy to scoop as any clumping litter, so I’m pleased with it.

I have some dove hand soap. I'm using aveeno for shower stuff.

There have been times in my childhood where I wanted to be a boy on and off. Nowadays I feel more like my birth gender, but sometimes I imagine being male.

But just to let you all know (in case anyone is angry with me) that I was born as a female and I plan on staying the gender I was born with; female. I am not a guy. =/

Some people just hate on it for some reason. But don't you worry! I'm not the one mad at you! Whoever is mad at @a sleepy kitty better not make her sad!

I've used Old Mane and Tail for around 30 years. I have yet to find anything that works as well. Clean scalp, hair is clean but not stripped of oils. No stupid scents, either just a mild floral scent that you really can't smell after you rinse it out.
