Not every style is possible with every hair type. One of my kids wanted a pixie and I told her "you can't go that short, your hair is coarse and thick like mine, it will just look bulky, it won't do what you are picturing."

She got the cut anyway and guess what? It was just bulky.

So it may be the same haircut with a different result. A bob on me is flat on top and wide like Rosanna Danna, my hair needs layers to be a nice shape. But my kids with thinner/finer hair can pixie or bob theirs with great results.

I will never be able to have bangs, hair is too curly for real bangs, not curly enough for curly bangs.

In short - there is no style possible for every head of hair, and no head of hair that can rock every possible style.

I have had my hair cut so many different ways I just show them a picture of my own hair cut how I want.

ETA: if it was such a good haircut it lasted over 6 months I sometimes say "just cut it in half" to get the same thing again.

With my current stylist I also ask her to please just leave it wet, she can cut curly hair all day but cannot style it, will leave looking like a current day Robert Smith.

I love some spicy food, oh yeah.

Music and movement, dancing can feel like a drug.

Migraine is worse. Go to bed without headache, wake up with splitting headache. Unfortunately relaxation tis a common migraine trigger.

People will always drive at the speed that feels safe and comfortable, which, because we made roads safe and comfortable for cars, is higher than the posted speed limits almost everywhere.

So say a road here is 35 because there are crosswalks, pedestrians on sidewalks, businesses with cars pulling out. Unless the city makes it feel like a 35 mph road, that's not gonna happen. Speed bumps, narrower lanes, things like that work better. Usually cops don't ticket for 5 over unless it's a school zone at school beginning or end time.

It's not just speed limits. Pay toilets never worked here because people who paid, would jam the lock so the next person didn't have to. We just aren't the most rule-following place in general.

You don't need to prove anything, women come in all shapes and sizes but yes that's curvier than I am at that size. I would say now (after menopause) I have hips but not a waist if that makes sense. Ribcage straight up & down. Nice wide-ish shoulders though, I like them, gives me an "elongated athletic" sort of look.

I don't actually know any women, of any variety, who are absolutely satisfied with their body shape. I guess it's normal and womanly to be critical like that even though it's not good. Men, I do know plenty who think they are perfect or plenty good enough whether they are or not.

Loved is an external condition. You can still love even if you think you aren't loved. Can still do pretty much anything.

There's sort of no point to anything anyway, why not just have a good time and be nice to people?

That is an overstatement for sure, a dry wine might be 20% at most, but yes, either more sugar has fermented to alcohol or there just wasn't so much to begin with.

If white wines could be categorized like on a scale from sweetened fizzy grape juice to juicy lemonade to LaCroix, I like the ones on the LaCroix side. Not dry like sour but dry like spare, elegant. Less concentrated everything. Some Sauvignon Blanc is like that.

Red I like complex but absolutely not sweet and not necessarily strong. Not savory either. Langhe Nebbiolo or Valpolicella have been pretty reliable for me.

Bwahaha. The whole idea of "birthing hips" is nonsense anyway. I was very slim through the hips, what was called back then a 'boyish' figure, just straight up and down, yes? Popped out 10 pound babies and btw nursed them no problem with my very small boobs too. Midwife explained it as "exterior hip measurement has nothing to do with interior pelvic dimensions."

I agree with OP, a live act should have a commitment to entertaining people. To me that is the difference between a good and bad live band. So the best live show I ever saw was Fela, and not because the band was tight, though it was. He brought a corps of African dancers, a full horn section, and the best performance I have ever seen. Worst was REM when they were starting out (I didn't go see them after that) and Young the Giant when they were starting out (they got so much better later, we saw them again and it was such a good show). Because they just sort of stood there. Hayes Carll and Paul Thorn are great to see live because they tell stories and are really funny. J Roddy Walston won our hearts the first time we saw them, ginger madman at the piano.

Recorded music is art but live music is performance art and entertainment. I don't think it's reasonable to say that because a band sounds great live, that makes it a good performance. That's a baseline (ha) not a goal.

Tool, the singer is known for being actively hostile to performing. A good sound and a dull show does still mean it's a sucky performance, I think.

I don't like performing either, but when my belly dance teacher dragged me along with her to paid gigs (because I could dance) you better believe I engaged with the audience, that IS the job, and that audience generally didn't even pay to be there. She said stage fright was selfishness - that your job was to give a performance, that it was about giving something to the audience, not being perfect - she would say it's not about us it's about them. If that is true dancing for a party, it's a hundred times more true for an act people paid a hundred dollars to see.

I refuse Tylenol because it does nothing for pain and just makes me feel vaguely nauseous. It's worse than nothing, in my experience. So no.

I don't have a fear of snakes, and no, they can be right next to me and I don't notice.

Most "water moccasins" are other black water snakes, rattlesnake won't bother you, it will run away. We just don't have any snakes where I live that are both venomous and aggressive. No cobras, no mambas nothing like that.

I was working in the yard once and a hawk was watching me. He saw the snake I did not, swooped down, grabbed it, and flew up onto the fence next to me, then ate the snake quite dramatically right in front of me. That's how clueless I am about them. I do like to see them in the yard, but they usually hide.
