'Threading' facial hair removal
Comments (8)it's possibly the oldest known plucking technique, actually... even older than waxing, and that dates back 4000 years that I know of... there is indeed a 'cat's cradle' technique- there's also a version where the thread is knotted around the hair shaft, and pulled out. I think it's one of those techniques that you're either born into the learning of as a child- or you're never going to pick it up. I'll stick with me tweezers, though... haven't met anyone who can do my brows better than I can....See MoreHow about a little decorum?
Comments (38)I had my ears pierced in a mall kiosk in West Virginia in approximately 1977 and my stepmother and I had second holes done at a mall kiosk in New Hampshire in the early 1980s, maybe 1983 - places like Piercing Pagoda have been around pretty much as long as there have been malls IME. It does bother me when people bring their very small children (I'm talking toddlers and preschoolers) to a public place to have their ears pierced because you can hear the screaming-in-pain at the other end of the mall, poor kids. (I know piercing ears when children are very, very young is a common thing among some ethnic groups but I still don't like the practice.) I wonder why everyone in this thread assumes everyone's cell phone conversations are always "mindless". That's a pretty insulting overgeneralization. I'm with jamies - if I'm standing/sitting next to a couple or small group of people conversing, it's much more intrusive to me. I often feel like I'm inadvertently eavesdropping. They can get extremely loud, too, louder than any cell talker I've heard - I've been driven out of my favorite cafe more than once by noisy people. (And gosh golly gee whiz, they're talking about "mindless" things just as often as people on phones!) Many stores and restaurants and other public places where I live have banned cell phones - signs up on the door saying something like "please turn off your cell phone ringer, otherwise you may be asked to leave". I do text a good bit while I'm sitting around doing nothing in a waiting room or in a looooong line, now that I have a phone that isn't horrible for texting - I don't really see how that is much different from, say, someone reading a magazine, doing a sudoku puzzle, or some other quiet time-occupier while waiting. "Conversations between strangers" being a good thing? I DON'T WANT frickin' strangers talking to me! I find having the phone headset on keeps people away, which is what I want - I use one with a corded boom mike because I can talk quietly and still be heard, and it's very visible unlike the tiny little Bluetooth jobbies (which I also have, was a freebie with my phone, but I hate it because its charge life is very short, the mike is several inches from my mouth so I do have to raise my voice, and it drops out more often)....See Morefacial hair gadget

Comments (3)My brother had a drinking problem.....(part of my gene pool, I'm afraid) He had too much to drink and passed out. His wife was so mad, she shaved off half of his foo-man-choo mustache. It was hilarious because it took him almost a whole day and a half until he caught on why we were all laughing. speaking of gene pool. a good put down I heard was to insult someone by telling them they must come from the shallow end of the gene pool. lol...See MoreCatKoz
