Instead of being "that guy with the umbrella" she'll be "that girl with the umbrella." Also seconding the dude that said it depends on your style of dress/company you keep. If you're kind of a hipster type it'll go over better than if you're kind of nerdy/geeky.

Robin Sparkles posted:That's actually semi-permanent, it only lasts about a month and then starts to fade horribly. My ex-girlfriend (a professional stylist who managed a premiere salon in the DC metro area) swore by Paul Mitchell's Inkworks dyes with some sort of clearcoat treatment to keep it from fading. I know more about this than I probably should, so here goes: As my ex explained it, due to the way that non-natural hair colored dyes are made vs the natural colored dyes, there is nothing that will last permanently. The best you can do is to bleach what you want, do two or three treatments with the dye, and then use the protective sealant thing so that it doesn't fade so quickly. If you want unnatural colors that last and will not fade, get colored extensions.

buy a hotdog! posted:I've always had issues with shaving my face/neck. After shaving I'll always develop acne all over my neck, and it gets so bad that I basically can only shave once or twice a week (usually once). I've tried switching between various blades/electric shavers (while giving my face enough time to adjust to these changes), along with different kinds of electric pre-shaving lotion/shaving cream/aftershave. I'll usually shave after taking a shower to soften up my facial hair but that doesn't really work either. It might seem overkill, but find an Art of Shaving store and have a chat with one of the people working there. I used to have the same problem until I ditched the lovely Gilette shaving gels and started using a decent razor. Also if you have any friends in the Health and Beauty field, you could ask what they would recommend. And off the top of my head, there's a couple things to consider. Do you use a facial scrub designed for pre-shaving? Do you thoroughly rinse your face when you finish shaving and lightly pat it dry with a fresh towel? Now here's my question: I was watching a bit of the World Series today and noticed that a few of the players were wearing braided rope and what looked like some kind of cable around their necks. What the hell is this? Superstition? WHEEZY KISS A DUDE fucked around with this message at 08:19 on Oct 29, 2010 |

ChubbyEmoBabe posted:I'm male (an admin gave me this name). I had the same issue as the OP and used leg nair on my face an it worked and didn't cause anything more than temporary irritation and awful stink. Both of which were nothing compared to my neck/chin looking like the acid guy from robocop after shaving. You got lucky. It actually says on the leg Nair bottle not to use on sensitive areas including the neck/face and bikini area. Also, if his problem is super-sensitive skin, depilation creams are more than likely gonna irritate the gently caress out of his skin. Chances are he just needs to adjust some part of his shaving routine and supplies and not resort to the chemical warfare option of hair removal.

pooface posted:I'm considering dropping out of my masters program (first semester) even though its well beyond the drop date. Could this somehow effect me even if I never go back to that school? Would other schools or businesses etc somehow be able to see that I got an F? I don't see how I'd ever need the transcripts from the school. If you ever plan on going back to any school at all and getting your masters (or any other degree) then yes, it will matter. Any school you ever apply to, including loving community colleges will ask for transcripts from any school you've attended. Even some businesses will go so far as to check college transcripts if you have no real-world business experience and are applying for a position. Now, realistically, is it going to matter? Probably not, as long as you have a good reason/explanation as to why you chose to do this.

You know, back when Christianity was an oppressed religion and mentioning Christ's name could have you executed or worse so X was substituted in written verse for Christ.

The pharma thing is more along the lines of what I'm thinking of than the Law of the Instrument. I guess what I'm looking for would be a company developing a product that doesn't do anything particularly groundbreaking or revolutionary but does actually serve a purpose. However, in order to make the product seem revolutionary, the company relies on advertising to make the problem their product solves a bigger problem than it actually is, thereby making their product seem like a revolutionary solution.

Smirking_Serpent posted:Is there a good guide/resource for starting a bonfire? My friends and I want to have a bonfire on the beach and we're not really sure what supplies we need/how much everything would cost/how to start the actual fire/etc. This is such a weird post for me to read since bonfire have been a big part of my life as far back as I can remember. Anyway, gather a shitload of decent sized logs, and cut them down to two foot long sections. Get another shitload of smaller branches/limbs and cut them down to 8"-10" lengths. Get a quarter gallon of diesel fuel. Dig a pit on the beach about 8"-12" deep, and fill it with the smaller wood. Take the larger logs and build a TeePee over the smaller wood until its covered sufficiently. Don't use all of it, as you'll need to reserve some to keep the fire going. Take the diesel fuel and try to cover the smaller wood with it as much as possible. Let it sit for about 5 minutes. Find a branch that's about 5' long with a lot of dead foliage. Set it on fire and push it into the smaller wood in the center of the TeePee. It should ignite with a whoosh. This is the way me and my friends have always done this and we've never had any accidents or close calls.

The Amtrak stations are trickier, though. In some you can drink anywhere in the station while in others you can only drink in the restaurants that sell liquor.
