Fucking grief. I don't want it any more than I want the ten inches of snow (which might end up as freezing rain, don't want that either) that is coming. Yesterday I was trying to be all wise and shit and present in the pain. Today I wwant to eat my feelings and not have them. fucking bodies that are mortal and then also survive others' mortality.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Our wings are not tired.
{{{WindSparrow}}} I'm sorry that it is so hard.

Hugs back, Laura. A cry and a nap helped.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
So sorry Windsparrow. Old friends are hard to lose.
ION, I'm being frivolous. I have forgotten how to girl, but am thinking of dipping my toes back in the water. Unfortunately, I haven't worn makeup in years and years, and now my skin is that over-50-extra snowflake special skin. I don't even know!
Atropa, thanks again for the Wet N Wild rec. The price difference between now and 10 or more years ago is kind of horrendous. Also, they have a website that explains their stuff to me, since everything seems different, and that was really helpful.
Advice online in general says for over 50 skin go all cream based, eyes lips, everything. I'm okay with that, I guess. I was just hoping ya'll would be willing to burble on a bit about colors and whether or not you use cream based makeup over powder based, and what you like about it or not, and what you do with it that's different.
Also, if anyone wants to talk about eyebrows, I'm all ears (and only half an eyebrow over each eye).

Herding cats for fun
It's okay to grieve for your Sammy cat. It's a measure of respect for the love you had for her and her sweet habit of putting Andi to bed.
You are going to be all right.

Periods in your mid to late 40s suck.
I am over it. I don't use it. I am not going to use it. I am done. can't I somehow shut this thing down?

There really does need to be some sort of opt-out system available.

Andi, it's okay to grieve. It's okay to still be grieving. There's not a timeline you have to follow.

Avoid cream-based eyeshadows, because they will smudge, smear, and settle into any fine lines. For folks who aren't goths and/or drama queens, something like this WnW palette would be good: [link]
I've heard good things about the Photo Focus foundation. When you apply any foundation, apply teeny dots on your face and blend the bejeezus out of it with a sponge, foundation brush, or your fingers. If you need more coverage, apply a few more teeny dots and blend some more.
Creamy lipsticks are good, but if you wear one in a dark color you also need to use lipliner, because lipstick feathering into any lines around your lips is a real thing.
