It's 4 steps up, no bends in the stairway, they just have to drop it in the living room and I can take it from there. I do, I guess just a few bucks if it's only one thing. They still have to get it to you and off the truck. E: especially if the weather is somehow lovely because it's a job I'm happy to not be doing.

Usually that's included in the paying costs for buying a mattress. It'd be like tipping the UPS guy for bringing you a package imo.

amarantinesky posted:I went outside and scraped 13 inches of snow off my car and shoveled it out, only to try to turn it on and it won't start. I could get a battery but it's such a cheap, crappy car that I'm not sure it's even worth it. A battery is like $100. Surely that's less than a different car. Do you have AAA? They will bring you a battery and install it for free (you still have to buy the battery but it's a good price). If you have a crappy car, a AAA membership is totally worth it. My day has been awesome as well. The heel snapped on my favorite pair of shoes which is completely unrepairable, my "work" jeans finally split at the crotch right as I bent over to get something, the lumber company delivered cherry instead of cypress which is setting back my project, and I left my phone at work so tonight's probably the night I'll get murdered. Crow Jane posted:Ghost stories are fun, though, even if you don't believe in ghosts. Suspending your disbelief leads to better entertainment experiences, imo I loved the creepy thread that originated Slenderman and it was pretty cool seeing it become this big thing. Re: ridiculously unbelievable story tellers that have everyone hopping their dick, god, those guys were insufferable. Wasn't 50 foot ant like the supposed relative of a different poo poo poster? Or am I getting my poo poo posters confused?

I just got my manga order from Amazon.co.jp. I got the recommended books (thanks, everybody!) and I am going to start with Yotsuba&! tonight. Sidenote: There are boobs in chapter 2 of What's Michael? Like, full nudity (will scan when I get home.) That surprised me. I also got Vol. 2 of Kinoko Inu. I have no idea if you can get it in English, but if you can, do iiittt! He's adorable. Supa kawaii desu!

Before you run out and start buying new parts/vehicles anyway. detectivemonkey posted:Not even bb cream? LADIES WE ARE FAILING.

I already feel bad enough about myself and my nails are usually pretty decent as far as I know. I don't want to become informed that my nails are in fact horrible and ugly and bad and I need to cultivate the skill of proper nail care. I'll make you feel better about your nails. These are mine. Yes, I will be going out in public tomorrow like this. No, I do not care enough to fix them.

poopkitty posted:What are you reading about teeth brushing? Hahaha it's a learning theory textbook. That line is about getting a kid to brush their teeth by nagging them until they do it, then taking away the nagging. E: I went skiing for the first time last year. I loved it way more than I thought I would. I am also terrible at most athletic things but was loving amazing at skiing. Like, slow-motion skiing in the part of the hill with the babies. But still, I crushed it.

One reason why doing nails is fun for me is that it's 100% optional. Makeup is kinda fun, but it's such a cultural expectation and it's required for a lot of jobs. I wind up doing it automatically at least 5 days of the week (totally boring) plus you always get judged on it. But nails, at least to me, feel completely optional. There is no job interview I've been to where you get points off for naked, natural nails (it just might not be the time to go for electric green). Since doing nothing is perfectly allowed, I feel comfortable doing something when I feel like it, and taking weeks off when I feel like it. As long as you don't have duck nails (which you'd have to work pretty hard on), the nail polish thread should be welcoming and supportive.
