PC, I'm glad things seem to be looking up with your parents. And ITA there's nothing wrong with letting them introduce some girls to you--it's not like they can force you to the altar, so it's just another way to meet people who may or may not be interesting, just like dating services or going to parties or whatever.
In mememe news, I really wish I'd get a job interview soon. I know everything is slower over the summer, but if just one place would call me back to reassure me I still have cover letter mojo, I'd feel a lot better. Even though in many ways my ideal situation would be to start a new job in mid-October. I have some potential freelance work coming up to tide me over until then, and that way I could stay on track to finish the rough draft of the wip by the end of Oct., and fulfill my volunteer commitments at the Oct. 7-9 writers conference with less stress.
But I still want some interviews already. See under doubting my mojo.
Speaking of armpits....
Can anyone recommend a really powerful women's antiperspirant? I've used Lady Speed Stick most of my life, but it doesn't seem to work as well as it used to--either their formula changed or my body chemistry. I tried Adidas Absorbent-Deo, but I might as well have been wearing nothing at all.
P-C, I'm glad the parental situation is a little better.
Now I'm wondering how you spell "jhooje"...as in "juj the product through your hair."
The Bravo site uses "tjuz" as in "A little tjuzing, a little manscaping." but it's a Carson thing, and to do with clothes (see "a French-cuffed white shirt and a black sweater, appropriately "tjuzed" at the sleeves")
::gives thanks for lack of armpit hair::
I've got nothing, Susan, but I'm interested in what people say about it. Since being pregnant, I've really really needed an upgrade in the anti-pers/deoderant department.
In less personal news, the A's have been playing .740 baseball over their last 50 games.
Susan, I've had luck with one of the stronger formula's of Secret (can't remember the name even though I pick it up every day).
Susan, try going without an AP for a while. I usually use a deodorant only, and it seems to have actually reduced the amount that I sweat in the pit region. For everyday, I use Tom's of Maine long lasting, with a bit of dusting powder (talc-free). If I'm doing anything special, I'll whip out the Secret that's still left over from the pack I got at Costco before my wedding.
Shaving product plug for Razorantium from Lush.
DH tried that and liked it pretty well. He's using Ambrosia now, and lieks it better. I think it rinses off the blade better, or something.
I've been using some all-natural herbalicious antiperspirant (or maybe it's just a deoderant, I don't remember) and I don't recommnd going down that road. I'm not sure it really does anything at all. I'm only sontinuing to use it because I can't bring myself to throw it away and get something else until it resembles being used up. Nonfunctional frugality is my curse.
libkitty's haircut looks great.
I fear I have been in many bookless houses. They're usually owned by the people who come into my house and say, "Have you read all these?" or "You must like to read."
I prefer not to use the term "book-free." It sounds like it's a feature rather than a bug. You know, like bug-free or sugar-free. It reminds me of the cameras that are sold as "focus-free."
I hate shaving my underarms, I always miss something. I hate shaving which is one reason I love capris.
