Those are the hair pully thingies, right? *checks* yeah, yeah they are

apparently they are less painful than waxing, but, y'know

that's like saying a kidney stone is less painful than giving birth, technically correct in the most unhelpful of ways

The problem is I *could* shave. If I do that, I get ingrown hairs for literal weeks afterwards.

Laser/electrolysis is in the future, but that costs money I don't have yet.

[Loud Whispers]

You'll have to keep braving the razor's kiss until then I'm afraid. About two weeks ago I managed to do a perfect shave and then right at the end nearly necked myself by hitting my razor-hand against the mirror, bumping the blade against my cheek and leaving a wicked long nick. Fortunately a strict routine of moisturising stopped it all from scarring otherwise I'd be stuck looking like a joker larper

Took apart a toaster oven to clean it and didn't take a picture of how the wires are supposed to be so I have no idea now how to put the damn thing back together. Just gotta hope I can find a wiring diagram somewhere.

I hate phlegmy coughs. Not for the coughing, not even for the chest pain after you've been coughing for so long, but for the foul taste of the gunk that always manages to dislodge with enough strength to get up to your tongue.

[Loud Whispers]

You should go see a GP about that, if you haven't already. Foul phlegm is a good sign you've probably got a bacterial infection somewhere in your airways. Which is a good thing in its own way since bacterial ones are easy to treat with a course of antibiotics. I've grown up with many viral chest infections and they never tasted foul, and I'm still working in lung health and it's typical that phlegm from chronic conditions or viral infections doesn't taste foul, but bacterial will, since the bacteria tend to produce their own waste products that get caught up in phlegm

Oh no, it happens every time I get a chesty cold. I think it might be to do with having exercise-induced asthma.

[Rolan7]

Yeah me too (including the exercise-induced asthma).  Taking an expectorant sometimes helps me clear it all out, at least for a while.

I'm studying to be a tax preparer, and the material is the absolutely worst combination of painfully boring and pointlessly complex. I'm honestly kinda really behind in my studies, cause I can only focus on my studies for about an hour or so a day before all my mental energy is used up and my mind starts screaming at me to stop. I've never been a good studier, but this feels like I'd need to be. Reading one of the chapters feels like something I'd literally need to spend all day doing, even though they objectively aren't that long.

You might ask I'm doing it, and I can really only say that the opportunity fell into my lap, and I just don't have the drive to actually take control of my life and do something with it, so going with the flow here is my one and only option.

[Rolan7]

It's an important job!  You're learning finances in general, even if the laws change.  And the laws are unlikely to change.
You can help people with this, for money.  That's laudable respectable.

[Loud Whispers]

But do you know what Aragorn's tax policy is

[bloop_bleep]

Listen, I know Sauron did that whole corruption murder and conquest thing, but his low tax plan makes him the best candidate for the job!

Made an introductory course in bookkeeping once, that stuff knocks me out cold, I had trouble staying awake inclass eventhough usually I'm more the kind to have troubles falling asleep.
