Yikes, the car fixing does not sound fun at all.
I love the longevity of gels, but my nails wind up absolutely destroyed when they come off.
My SIL started me last year on a product called Luminary [link] which is like a cross between gel and acrylic. Hard as concrete, but doesn't hurt the nails at all. She took it off before I went north since I didn't think I could find anyone here to maintain them, and my nails were perfect and healthy underneath. I lucked out and found one person who does them within an hour of me so I am getting them back tomorrow.
The thing that hurts the nails is soaking in acetone to get the gels off. My friend just opened her own nail place and she uses a man efile and my nails have been fantastic!
a $2 bill
Wow, I haven't seen one of those is several decades. I'm impressed. I hope it has been safely set aside and protected as a collectable, brought out to admire from time to time.
What was your source?
DH went to the bank for the 2s. I believe he got a stack of them
When I was a bank teller, which was, admittedly, decades ago, people who worked in the logging industry would regularly come in and get stacks of 2s. The idea was, I believe, that they would use them around town and then local business people would see the economic impact of logging by getting a bunch of 2s in their tills. No idea how all that played out, I wasn't there very long.
Unrelatedly, I am currently drenched in sweat and melting into my chair and the heat advisory isn't supposed to start until tomorrow.
It’s very smart to get a stack of those 2s because those teeth can sneak up in you. We have a variety of dollar coins we keep for just such an occasion after having to sneak to a bank while on vacation.
I still have a bunch of $2 bills my banker uncle gave me when I was a kid. I don't think any of mine are the collectibles though. [link]
Up early this morning because I have a nail appointment an hour away. I'm grateful we put in the furnace last year as it is 51F right now! In past years I would have pulled on sweat pants and plugged in space heaters.
When I was at the bakery, we had a regular who loved to give us 2s. It was fun, some of the really young girls had never seen them. It was kind of a pain for the bank deposit, which I had to do.
My mom likes to give small gifts for Jewish holidays in $2 because it's easy to give multiples of 18 that way. (The Hebrew number 18 is spelled the same as the word "life" so it's a thing.)
