I have been wearing dead fish chain mail for a long time, immersed in the mud in a pond of my own flop sweat and bad feels/lack of feels and fish entrails.

My fish are zombie fish, faintly twitching. I am on my 5th day of a med called Velociraptor Vibrators (Viibryd) and I, like, smiled or something. Or I am having a seizure. I may shower. I brushed my hair and I have a bra on. The thought of being vertical doesn't fill me with pain and delirium.

This is not helpful to you, Andi or smonster, probably, because, hey, a month ago it would not have been helpful to me, just a randomly noted fact, like the fact that celebrities wear Spanx, but I feel the need to note it. Dead fish definitely vary. Also, I am an unreliable narrator, and possibly high on SSRIs and cran-lemonade.

OH! JZ said what I was trying to say and IT MADE SENSE. Huh. Good. Listen to JZ. I am going to sit here and fondle my zombie fish, and I should probably stop typing.

Andi, my dear, I am so sorry that your fish are so very dead.

Yes, this. Much ~ma to you, Andi.

And Hil, I'm sorry I have no advice as I found waxing too much a bother for me. Razors below the neck, tweezers above.

I usually shave during the winter and Nair during the summer, because shaving as often as I need to during the summer usually irritates my skin. I decided to try waxing because I hate the smell of the Nair, and it's just a pain, so I thought that waxing might work. I forgot to factor in that my skins tears more easily than most people -- several of the hairs that came out took the surrounding skin with them.

We could save up all the dead fish, press them between heavy books and make crafts with them, layering them like chain mail.

I read this too fast and was thinking chain letters, like the polish box but with dead fish and I was like, OMG so not a good idea.

That is quite the image.

I have to go back to work and sweat some more. I know I'm dehydrated and my salts are out of whack when, say, Wheat Thins don't taste salty to me. It's definitely time to start freezing water bottles at night and taking a gallon or so to work every day. And powdered Gatorade, definitely time to stock up on powdered Gatorade.

we seem to have zombie fish coming out of the woodwork. There should be a movie.

Hil, I am sorry that the waxing and the shaving had such unpleasant effects.

GC, I have no photo advice, but I do look forward to you figuring it out so I can see some.

Babies are good. I like babies.

Sugar might be easier on your skin than wax, Hil.

The place I go uses it, much less irriatating -- it sticks less to the skin. Threading is the least irritating of all, but I imagine threading a leg could be quite time-consuming.

Yipes smonster, stay hydrated!

What is happening is that I don't want to reup the Pro account, but when I delete any images to try to get under 200, it shows more of the (many) images I had saved in my Pro account. Sometimes the technology stumps. I thought I could just delete a few and upload a few, you know?

Okay - I think the problem was that I was using the iPad because it worked on my iMac! Behold my gorgeous boy(s)! Starting here: [link]
