The man part of that is true in my house lol but the woman part is definitely not. I strip down in the bathroom leaving my clothes in the floor, get in the shower, wash my hair, put in conditioner, wash my body and shave, wash my face, rinse conditioner and I'm out. I get in and out as quickly as I can. After drying off I will use the same towel for my hair and walk to the bedroom naked. :laugh: I guess I'm more like the man than the woman. My husband gets mad because I will forget to pick up my clothes and they will stay in a pile in the floor.

None of this is true in my house at all and I didn't really think it was very funny.

My SO is currently cleaning the bathroom. He also puts his clothes in the hamper where mine end up on the floor.
I only wash my hair when I ref, play hockey, lift weights, was around smoke indoors or otherwise get dirty or really sweaty.
I pretty much wash myself with soap using only my hands to lather. Other stuff gets gross.
The only thing that takes a long time is hair removal in the shower, because I have internalized enough bull**** that I feel really gross without shaving a lot every day.

idk, I never like stuff that stereotypes men vs women like this. It's never true for me and it's not actually real cool to make people feel like freakshow outliers because they don't do things the way they're 'supposed' to.

You shouldn't feel like a freak show. Very few people fit into these stereotypes completely. And just because you don't feel like it applies to you, doesn't mean there is something wrong with you. Be proud for breaking the stereotype. I will say I found it funny, even though it doesn't really apply to me.

I personally don't care, but I know that people can internalize some pretty nasty and toxic stuff when things like that are put out there as what's 'expected' of them.

Men and women both.

Should clarify, i did not originally write ANY of that post. I copy/pasta'd the entirety of it. Most of it isn't true for me either. 😉 But I did still find it funny. :laugh:
 
Kitten is trying so hard to attack my hands. I kinda feel bad stopping his efforts.
 
Random question, but I can really use the input. So my SO's paternal grandfather just passed away, and I'll be attending his wake. I'll talk to my SO tomorrow about sending sympathy flowers to the funeral home, but would it be appropriate to bring food for my SO's father and stepmother (who I believe is doing a big part of the funeral planning)? I'm not especially warm and fuzzy with them, but that's mostly because my SO is just not especially warm and fuzzy with them. Given the circumstance, my relationship is about as good as it could be I guess. I've spent a majority of major holidays with them over the past 3 years, so it's not like I'm a stranger either... But I wasn't sure what constituted a meal-bringing relationship, as I've really not been in this situation before. I think they could use and would appreciate food, but I didn't really want to overstep any boundaries. I could ask my SO, but he'll prob not know and just default to my judgment (type of reason why his relationship with his family's kind of dysfunctional).

And if I do bring something like a pot-pie or lasagna/casserole, do I give it to them raw so that they can freeze/bake it? Or do I bring it cooked and cooled so that they just have to reheat? Or is there an in-betweenie that I'm not aware of? The normal thing to do you'd think is to just call the stepmom and ask what she prefers, but that's not going to happen. It was kind of a debacle today for my SO to get a hold of her to ask about funeral arrangements...
 
I think that a lasagna ready to bake with some heating instructions would be appreciated. I mean, worst case, they don't eat it, right? It's a thoughtful gesture that most others wouldn't consider. I can't imagine it being taken the wrong way, although I guess you never know with a dysfunctional family.

The SO wouldn't have any insight as to how it would be taken?

Sweet, thanks TT. That helps a lot. As long as it's not traditionally considered inappropriate, I don't think they would take it the wrong way. I just don't know much about funeral etiquette because the only one I've been to was one for a childhood friend I hadn't seen in 10+ years, so that's more what I was worried about. My SO's father doesn't have anything against me, but if given the choice, I don't think I would be his first pick for a daughter-in-law due to my foreignness... so his father's death is not the time I want to be committing a major faux pas.

haha...yeah... no. He has a hard time with that even for things like whether or not I should bring pie/cake for a holiday gathering. It's weird, he's socially normal (muuuuuch more graceful than I am) in like every other situation, but he kind of falls apart when it comes to his family.
 
I'm trying really hard to motivate myself to write internship essays and I really don't feel like it. I still feel burnt out from VMCAS and supplementals and that was a long time ago!
 
Reminder to Myself: Never, ever again go 10+ days without taking some form of anti-inflammatory medication... It is not a wise idea and I will pay for it.

Thankfully, I was able to find one ibuprofen tablet... :xf: that the swollen finger joints and ankles reside soon along with the pain.

I've always worn gloves when I've used it ... but this time it was on my own dog at home so I didn't. My hands started to burn then I got hives and they were itchy. So strange!

You could be allergic to salicylic acid. Do some face washes make your face burn/itch?

Not that I recall, though some have super duper dried out my skin.

Ingredients in Epi Otic: Water, propylene glycol, lactic acid, Spherulites, docusate sodium, salicylic acid, PCMX, dimethicone, fragrance and FD&C blue #1. Lactic acid and salicylic acid are present in encapsulated (Spherulites) and free forms. Chitosanide is present in encapsulated form.

I wonder who the culprit is ...

So freaking anxious about the e-mails and letters heading my way this week (to let me know whether or not I've been granted an interview). EHRMAHGERD!!!!!

I think I need to go to Target. Maybe get a coloring book or something. Revert! Revert!
