I’m not in retail anymore, and I never did clothing retail, but working in theater costuming has really changed my ideas. Like, I know I am fat because at my height and weight my bmi puts me well in obese territory. But measuring people a few inches taller has put an interesting spin in my head. I know someone with the same bust size who is three inches taller and now I understand why some “large” sizes will fit both of us even though by size my cup is several sizes larger than her.

People have been telling me for years that I’m “not fat”. I know they are delusional because of the numbers, but seeing other people with similar measurements does actually put it into perspective.

My first time seeing them, it’s usually -20°F when they are here. I had no idea they changed so quickly! This made my entire life and I can die without regret now lol

I think you can try both at the same time actually.

You got an awesome taste from your friends on what clothing design can be. Do you have a theater in your school, or a local professional one? You can try costume design for more of the “this is what it’s like as work” idea. I’m not going to lie, you might even find work as a sculptor in theater, but your background in sculpting will definitely feed your experience as a costume designer or even just in costume construction. So you could spend two years in consume construction as a hobby and decide that’s what you really do, then move into a master program with fashion design.

It’s stupid if you edit the amount.

Edit: this used to be 5+. So view the other amounts OP edited with this thought in mind

I’m still a little surprised it made the words correctly spelled on the sign

The great Speak No Evil god is shocked at the things he’s heard, and has punished those who have offended him by removing their mouths. Warnings have been posted on most city blocks so others do not suffer their fate.

I have two perspectives to this. I once had several male Indian roommates and I honestly don’t remember them having a scent beyond “male”. I could pick up turmeric from one of them, but I think he used a turmeric toothpaste.

I’m white and afab (not on t at the time) and a decade after having those roomies, I had a half-Indian friend tell me I smell like her dad lol. I think curry odor might just stick to clothing, I make it a few times a week so I’m sure my whole house smells like curry to outsiders at this point

It’s like “I don’t want to marry this person, but they’re good enough for now”

I didn’t say it was safe! Just safer than minoxidil :) The oil is usually meant to be used as a pre-wash treatment, so it’s not going to sit on your head all day like minoxidil, further reducing the risk of contact with pets.

It’s also much safer to use around cats than topical minoxidil is!

My triglycerides fell a little over 50 points! Almost to a healthy level now.

My cholesterol total fell a little over 20 points, with small drops in hdl and ldl.

That’s about four months of abstaining from alcohol with no change from my normal “vegan” diet.

I went vegan and had no change in my cholesterol. I have never had a diet that was high in fat, so that didn’t surprise me. My doctor told me I need to give up alcohol for any change to occur. There’s definitely a genetic component as well, my dad and his dad seriously struggled with their cholesterol levels.

I had to abstain from alcohol over the summer because I started a medication that is hard on the liver, and I just had a lipid panel today. So I’ll find out early next week if my doctor was right lol

Frozen grapes

I love the contrast between these two themes

I get asked this a lot, because my accent is dissimilar from the area I live now. I think if people were more familiar with the area I’m from, they’d ask where my parents are from because my accent and terms are a weird mix of the two places.

Just so I’m clear, I’m talking about the brand “litter robot” , it was shaped like an egg. And, yes, I did have a dehumidifier. I think a simpler design might have lived longer, but maybe I got unlucky.

I’m hope I didn’t worry you more, it sounds like you already have a system that is working for you and your cat. Your kitty just needs a bit of medication from the sounds of things

With the litter robot? I think it was living in a location with very high humidity, honestly. Even a litter with low dust will stick quite a lot in that circumstance
