The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I seem to be stuck in the land of the Perpetual and Never-ending Wednesday.

DO NOT WANT

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Ha! A few weeks ago, I hollered out "Walkers on the left, standers on the right, please!". This guy moved grudgingly over to the right and said "where did that rule come from?" I stopped, looked at him and said "it's the rule all over the world, even in the commonwealth"

No it's not. In the UK yes, but not in Australia. Here it's 'stand left, walk right'. (Let me add that I never had any trouble with reversing that in the US.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm a total prison call taker. Eliminates the nervewracking first move of [link].

I wrote to prisoners when I was in high school, with a friend. We found them in ads in the back of tabloids.

Yay mom of sarameg!

Also, question for sarameg. How long do your home applied nails stay on, and do you have any tips for maximizing the time?

Just exactly how long has Jesse been angling for a spot on L&O, is what I'm wondering?

I know, right? My friend lived in apartment building, but not a big one. After the one guy sent us pictures, we told him we had to move and then gave a fake address.

I usually redo them every 3 weeks or so. By that time, they're grown out to where there is a tiny bit of nailbed showing and are lifting around the edges. Sometimes, I'll take some of the pink glue that comes in a bottle with a brush and very carefully seal the edges (letting the glue wick under.) I usually only do that when I whack something and lift an edge, as it is a pain in the ass to do without making a mess. Mostly I do that to keep moisture from getting trapped in there. I used to wear 'em longer and do a fill, but that was a) a pain in the ass and b) required I then use an opaque nail polish and I prefer the french faux-natural these days.

I don't know if it makes a difference, but I make sure my nails are as oil free and dry as possible, wiping them down with alcohol and a nail antifungal I got at Sally's (and then drying), before I apply new nails.

More than you wanted to know?

No this is great! I am pretty good at applying, but they seriously start to fall off after about three days if I do things like open cat food cans or dig throught my purse. I think it is the moisture thing-- I think I may need to start wearing rubber gloves for dishes/cleaning
