I need a good drugstore mascara. I was using the Cover Girl Lash Blast for a while (I like thicker rather than longer), but lately it seems to clump and dry out more easily.

I like the Clinique Lash Doubling, too, I just don't like to pay for it.

My daily stuff is the Blinc mascara, because I like the tubing, and the way it comes off easy with soap and water, but is waterproof.

That's my mascara! But I only wear mascara when I'm dressing' up fancy.

Ok, I have a mess of stewed peaches (in rum!) and want to make something like coffeecake from it. Bakers, please suggest recipes. I figure I can adapt an applesauce-sub recipe, though I think the peaches are wetter, so will have to adjust.

Make an upside down cake! I bet you can just throw them where canned pineapple would go. And it would be teh yum.

I think they are too mushy for that- really resembles applesauce, but stringy rather than grainy.

This is my unfancy mascara, since I have some with a oblate spheroid brush that does some insane lifting and separating. And is mussy.

Blinc passes any all-day everyday tests I might have.

I was sure I'd seen some tubing mascara ads on TV, and didn't think it was Blinc.

Statistically, men are supposed to have longer lashes than women. Yet use them as such a signifier.

I am so nauseous I haven't eaten a full meal in two days. I'm going to try find a snack and at least get hydrated. Sadly, with the portacath, the manic need to hydrate isn't quite there anymore. But I still should.

Ooh, we have fruit fly battles. Try these: [link] I don't know if they work or if they just give me the patience to outlast an infestation, but I get fruitflies, I remember about the traps, I put out new traps, the fruit flies die. When we came back this summer, an entrepreneurial spider had built its web over the entrance to the traps. It was gross, but completely full of dead flies.

Yeah, hydrate, ita, even if you don't feel like it.

Is it just the silicone that does the trick? Because I have an Avon silicone hand cream that has dimethicone in it. Should I try that until I can get to the CVS?

You should still hydrate. And eat. But if you have to choose, hydration.

I've always wondered if dudes have actually longer lashes in general or if they don't end up breaking off or falling out a little early from mucking about with curling and mascara and makeup removal. I mean, I haven't wondered enough to even heavily Google it, but I've mildly pondered.

Is it just the silicone that does the trick?

Basically, yes. It fills and smooths.

I'd personally probably not try a hand cream because they are often way too intense for my face. Sometimes too intense for even my hands. Stupid fragile flower sensitive skin.

But primer is just basically spackle with a really smooth finish. Like a base coat, for your face. I make cosmetics sound so romantic...

Cool, Liese!

The apple cider vinegar really works. I mean, there are a lot of fruit flies in the homemade traps I've set out. It's just that there are so many more left! I've never had an infestation this bad. I've put out eight (!!!) traps, and they are all full of flies, and I still have flies all over the place--in my bedroom (why?), in the bathroom (why?), in the kitchen (I get that), and they are just hanging around, hanging out on the mirrors, everywhere. Like it's a social club. It's creepy. I know without a food source and all these traps that they will eventually either die or drown, but they're really giving me the creeps. What I need are a few enterprising spiders.
