The location of the wreck wasn't found until 1985 and it was definitely still a popular disaster story to tell. I remember books about it in my elementary school library in the late 1980s alongside volcanos and dinosaurs.

If you soaked your skin then that is just dead skin cells. Pilling happens on dry skin.

Lotion is composed of a water part that gets absorbed or evaporated and a fat or wax part that only absorbs into the very top layer of dead cells.

In skincare discussions what you experienced is called "pilling" and it's the result of putting on a lotion or skin product too soon after another one that was applied too thickly or didn't have time to absorb fully. The balls are dead skin and the dried lotion or sunscreen that has gotten gummy and stuck to itself like eraser bits. Apply your sunscreen a little bit thinner and rub it in well and it shouldn't continue to happen.

Literally just pulled my daughter's high tops out of the washer. We unlace them and put them in a zippered laundry bag (cheap at most stores that sell Landry soap, look near the clothespins in the cleaning aisle) with the laced. Wash shoes alone with regular soap and a small amount of oxiclean on gentle with an extra rinse, cool water, smallest load. They finished looking very nice and we usually let shoes dry sitting out in the air on a towel for a day or 2 before wearing.

It's an article in the Huffpost bro, the author isn't here.

The interview is a vibe check first and foremost. If you vibe with the team we will overlook other things in your application. If you made it to interview, we already think you're good enough so don't stress trying to impress or apologize.

Managers are mostly people who get tired of watching other people do things badly and decide to try to do better. You don't need a special degree or any magic to be a good manager, you should like people though.

Everyone is faking it to some degree.

Missed 2 days of my anxiety meds this weekend, which caused me to panic and try to go to the pharmacy too early on Saturday to pick them up and forget to take my morning ADHD meds.

I was a complete freaking out mess all day Saturday and half of Sunday. I'd forgotten how bad the two are when stacked up like that. And I used to feel that way around 1/3 of the time, I estimated 1-2 days a week I had some sort of panic attack before treatment.

Take your meds, my friends. They are important!

Being a non-smoker back then was a giant pain-in-the-ass at any workplace too because any smoker could and would take a break for a cigarette once an hour and then so would the manager and they'd get to be buddies but if you were known as a non-smoker you didn't get a break because you "didn't need one" I knew dozens of people, especially in healthcare, who took up smoking because that was the time to be social with each other and the managers.

Oh shit. He's a Nazi? Fuuuuck. I thought he was just a plagiarizer.

This happens to my front step railing every year or so. It's two things that have been mentioned, but in combination.

Carpenter bees bored into your wood to make their nests, and then a woodpecker came along and ate the bees in their nests.

Here's a cool article about the bees. http://entomology.ca.uky.edu/ef611

Travel companies have been doing this shit for years. The most egregious is that Apple users tend to get shown higher prices overall but it's been around in many forms for a long time. They call it "Dynamic Pricing"

Helpful Advice! (imgflip.com)

I'm reading Organizing Solutions for People with ADHD by Susan Pinksky and it is full of helpful advice and useful tips. But I don't like to hear the truth sometimes.

The actual quote from the book is "If you are purchasing items for a project, pause to put the date you will DO the project on your calendar (preferably within the week). If the project doesn't get done, reschedule it so those supplies stay on your radar.... We should only buy items for which we have an imminent plan or need."

The secret is it's ALSO Ikea.

Go to the Ikea website and search for bookcases. The standard Billy bookcase is $89 in my location. It's made of wood veneer over particlebaord. They last about 10- 15 years or so before the glue holding the particles together breaks down and they become fragile.

Then use the Materials option to limit to "Solid Wood", the same size Hemnes bookcase is $250. Same height, similar styling, made of solid wood and going to last much longer.

You can buy solid, long lasting furniture at Ikea, but it's not the cheapest option so people often miss it.
