AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT

Fuck this illness/surgery business. I wanna chat.

apetslife suggested there are some things you should just NEVER skimp on. She listed for example, nail polish remover (bad stuff does bad things to your nails, apparently- I get mine done, IDK), toilet paper (self-explanatory) and cheese (life is too short for plastic cheese ( Read more... )

Dental floss! The cheap kind breaks into weird thin threads and is just a mess.

Eyeliner pencils! The really inexpensive ones are hard and hurt to apply, or are really hard to sharpen into a fine point.

Winter boots. The ones I use every winter are a pair my parents bought me when I was in college, aka 20+ years ago. They are still awesome. (Maybe not fashionable, but I live in New England and there are certain items where functionality is more important than fashion.)

Oh man, cheap boots in winter would SUCK yes. We don't get snow here like you do but the first winter we moved here I realized the necessity of THICK SOCKS and WATERPROOF BOOTS that are REALLY waterproof.

I third the winter boots; I HATE wet feet.

That reads like the world's weirdest haiku.

First, I'm going to challenge the breakfast cereals. Some taste nothing like the real ones (or like actual food) but others are identical in taste and appearance. Store brand Chex, for example, is awesome.

Mine are: Mattresses and shoes. Well made, supportive shoes like my MBTs let me walk the dog two miles a day as opposed to limping around the block with him. And low quality mattresses + bad back = oh holy fuck, owww!

I am side eyeing you about the Chex. For srs.

taffimai February 18 2013, 20:38:10 UTC

Now I am tempted to FedEx a box of store brand Chex to you.

WELL NOW THAT MY GUT IS WORKING AGAIN.

Life is too short for well booze, pay the extra dollar or 2 for the good stuff- I'm over 30 and don't drink to get drunk anymore, I can afford it.

Tampons. Once back in college, I had the string of a generic tampon PULL OUT. It's not the fishing for it that was traumatizing (it wasn't hard to find & I'm not squicked by my ow blood), it was the moment of panic that came with the string popping out. Oh, and same month? Turns out that generic tampons are scented (IDEK)... it also turns out I'm allergic to the scent! Try and itch there in polite company!

Sheets: I won't sleep on anything less than 800 thread count and the sheets I have used for the past couple years are 1800 (I get them from the guy who supplies 5 star hotels in New Orleans.) You spend an average of 1/3 of your life in bed, you might as well be comfortable.

Damn. I don't think I even knew they MADE thread count that high. That must be AWESOME.
