That's good the hear, Consuela. My mind was stuck in a 'can't clean the germs' place. It is so beautiful. (wood freak)
Yes, -t. I had never heard of such a thing and it was an interesting read. Confirmed my instincts about not taking NSAIDs and verified my miserable experience with any pain killers tried. This was a big issue after surgery. My body objected big time. And of course listed a bunch of things I never heard of which either worked super well or not at all for me if I ever have the need. Good thing for the hope I never need to use pile.
I'm sorry, flea.
That sounds fun, Consuela! My ideal kitchen has slate counter tops, but that's just me liking a matte stone. [link]
I loooove butcher block counters. If I ever remodel here, that's what I'll choose. Stone seems less forgiving for a clumsy plate-dropper like me. Although stone floors and backsplash are nice, depending on texture and color.
Actually, my dream backsplash is one-inch glass mosaic tile, in pellucid, watery shades of aquamarine.
I've seen a shower wall done in four-inch square glass tile, shading lighter from turquoise at the bottom to pale aquamarine at the top. Seemed appropriate for a watery enclosure.
I love my granite, and I don't understand why people hate it for practical usage. I think it's gorgeous, especially when I keep the kitchen in tip top shape. And it's easy to clean.
As for fucking plate dropping! I've broken almost all the "Welcome to LA" starter kit Kat and Lori gave me, and I really really like the small blue-green bowls--just smaller than my standard boring white cereal bowls, and so pretty. Knocked another one off the counter with my hip just a couple days ago.
Be honest--anyone here does their mascara like this? I didn't even know mechanical was an option, but pony up for it or...I dunno. I guess you're in private and anything for beauty, right? And can you imagine having sex with her and she ahems her way out of bed to touch up her mascara before cuddling time? Ego blow...
Okay, back to the Suits marathon. They're doing a character-by-character best of, and so far the three I've seen of so far are sequential. Not bad if that's really the result of audience polling.
I'd highly recommend the the show, even if you're tired of courtroom dramas, because there's the least of that I've seen in any law show, and the costuming is to die for. Gina Torres is a (mostly work inappropriate) dream every week, and one of the pop-up trivia bubbles says there's a sleeveless outfit worn in the office every episode. I wonder why.
I did read once that mandatory sleeves were something instituted by aging female CEOs, HR, etc, who didn't want to show their upper arms, and didn't want any hot young upper arms being flaunted around the office. Coming up with that theory is as small minded as the idea of it being true.
(I still think all women should wear hose or tights with skirts shorter than mid calf, though. And maybe pass a "walk straight and upright" test for their shoes.

OH HELL NO! Bare-legged in summer forever!
That mascara application method looks like a good way for me to poke myself in the eye. To be fair, any mascara application method has a decent chance of leading to eye-poking.
I flaunt my bare legs in knee-length skirts shamelessly! I don't feel office appropriate in anything sleeveless, though.
Nylon makes me itch. Down with hose!
OH HELL NO! Bare-legged in summer forever!
NOT AT WORK. I forbid it, with all the weight that carries.
Maybe I'm biased by being a near-permanent bruiser (one disappeared after 3 or 4 years the other month! Excited!) and I don't want smooth and shiny unblemished legs all over the workplace. Maybe I am that person.

Right? It makes a dangerous process even scarier. I'm not sure moving the hand itself would be any safer.
I don't feel office appropriate in anything sleeveless, though.
That I do, but I'm usually cold, so there's a jacket or wrap nearby. I have a number of scooter dresses (that I wear with tights). But I have no problem with the arms. Just uncovered shameless disruptive legs.
I have walked around my office barefoot!

Well, you'd be fine with me if our legs shared office space. I'm generally covered with bruises. Now I have added tiny scratches from the kittens. Sexy! Still, I'm not covering my gd legs when I'm wearing skirts or dresses in the summer!
