I'm getting shades of Six Feet Under.

Two things:

1. Assholes who stick chewed gum ON seat on the train need to be shot. ..Well, not really, but you get my point. Advice for getting that stuff out of wool is welcome.

2. It sucks being EXACTLY beween two adjacent shoe sizes. It works most of the time, but this one out of ten times it's just infutiating.

I think with wool you're screwed. I tried getting out gum from a regular pair of chinos once by freezing them (as is recommended online) ...it did not work. I had to chuck the pants. Wool would be 100% impossible because you'd be pulling off so much stray bits...but it might be worth a shot to freeze the item?

And yes, I agree that people who stick gum on public things like seats are the worst!

[Puck]

Fortunately, we're talking a wool coat in my case and the offending material stuck very close to the hem, so in the worst case, I could've taken in the hem, though I'd rather not as the coat is already altered to a perfect for me lentgh. The good news is, between freezing and duct tape I managed to get most of the offending material off. We'll see how much damage that did to the fabric itself when it's daylight but I am soooo damn pissed at whoever did this But I think unless one knows it should be good.

I find fire usually takes care of it.

Puck, not getting your shoe size is a very serious problem. Just last week I walked into two huge shoe stores only to be told that they don't keep my size in any make and model.

I’ve never been able to buy shoes in a store.

Which sucks, because you can’t try them on first.

It absolutely is a serious issue. I know I've done some damage to my feet already by wearing the wrong size. I just feel that in terms of shoe size I am pretty lucky, all things considered. My perfect size does exist and is very common. Outside of Germany, that is. UK size 7 fits me perfectly. The issue is that there is no equivalent to UK7 in German shoe sizes, there's only half a size up or down. The easy solution is to shop at stores that stock shoes in UK sizes, but since I started looking in February I haven't been able to find one pair of sandals in my size and price range, full stop. It's infuriating.

Looks like a shoe shopping trip to the UK is on the cards!

Going to spoiler this because I'm going to go BKish so fair warning there y'all go but I'd be interested in any dr opinions.

Spoiler

so yesterday I was in my truck doing the hanky panky and I found myself not being able to pop even though I was right there. I was trying to make myself go rather vigorously for about 20 minutes minus around a 40ish sec breather. Well I was finally able to..but afterwards my chest clinched up tight. I mean tight. Mid breast bone. Hurt so bad I broke out in a sweat and began to get lightheaded as we drove back down the road to her car. I had to sit in parking lot a few minutes to clear the fog from my head though the pain was still there. I got back home and hours later the pain is still kicking then I started burping like crazy. Today I still hurt and am burping a bit. Made me wonder if I had a mild heart attack, panic attack or just had indigestion that hit during sex. I do not like this sensation. Hurts like a mofo

Soooo no sex for me till that clears up.

That ought to be nice to read if you choose to skip tag lmao

You’re dying. Go see a Dr immediately.

Qualifier: I’m not a doctor.

Really thinking about it. Just to find out.

Hurts like hell. But I think if I actually was having one there would be no debate and I'd a had to go immediately. I'm not sure how common they are or if people have them and brush them off frequently.

How's your blood pressure? Might want to get that checked out.

Also yeah indigestion and gas could be a problem.

It's pretty good I believe. I've only been told once at one of my 2 Dr's that it was high during a check in the past 3 years.

If you have a family history of blood pressure/heart problems then you might want to get checked out, just to be on the safe side.

I am not a doctor but by way of a previous life I do have a particular skill set that allows me to say with reasonable certainty it’s extremely common for people to have them and brush them off, and if it hurt as much as you posted and you’re still feeling it a day later, go see a doctor.

Because you’re dying.


Maybe.

Is he dead yet?

We all knew this was how he was gonna go =/.

If I don’t wake up in the am id like to say I love most of y’all a lot even when we disagree on things.

Feel rotten still.

If I do wake up I’m getting my ass to ER.

Good night.

Finding a new hair salon to go to is a royal pain and then some. I guess I'm too used to my old one (that's now closed down, unfortunately) and the fact that people weren't just plain stupid there.

Girl, when someone comes into your salon and asks for an appointment und can already see on your face there are none for a whole month, just say so. Don't pretend to look for one, I can see that calendar, too. It's your job to give people information, why do I have to drag it out of your nose one word at a time? That fell right off the list of potential places.

I was just plain ignored at the other salon for fifteen or so minutes, no "hello" or anything. At least they do appointments with less than a month's waiting time, so yay?

And none of these salons are particularly cheap, if I may point that out.

I wish I could just cut my own hair. I don't want to have to be around any of these people, not even for half an hour. Unfortunately, the nearest Russian speaking salon now is in a different town, so meh.
