    Lips getting a bit too dry for the chapstick to handle so I bought a clear lip gloss… however turns out it’s coconut scented 🤢 The scent is also lowkey burning my lips.

    I give up man, all the beauty products seem to stink and hurt. I’d use coconut oil/vaseline/pawpaw but don’t want to be sticking my fingers into pots and touching my mouth. (The cat also loves pawpaw ointment and would try to lick it off)

      Lots balms have something like menthol/camphor/mint in them. When your lips are dry or cracked the last thing I need is for them to slathered in spicy ingredients. Why do they put in in there???

        Mine seem to hate castor oil too. Stinging and peeling

      I found Molton Brown plain lip balm very safe and I am pretty sensitive to lip stuff, having thrown away so many glosses and pencils

      Vaseline and a cotton bud is what goes in this house.

        Too much hassle

        I’ll just deal with it

      I found the best ones are those lip balms you get from the honey stalls at markets. Soothing, long lasting and the unflavoured ones aren’t attractive tasting enough to eat (which is my problem!)

        @PeelerSheila @melbaboutown Unfortunately, they're going out of business. But, if there's still a Body Shop still open anywhere near you, their hemp honey lip balm works well.

        (If there isn't one still open near you, various online stores that also sell them...)

        I love the energy but this only makes sense if you read it with the completely wrong alphabet. (poitin is pronounced puch-een)

    There is an impeccably appointed Mercedes with a large decal of Psyduck on the side doing a circuit of Melbourne.

        That would be the logical thing to do.

    Just playing some vintage LPs I got last week, one is an album of movie music by Alfred Newman ( Randy Newman’s father ) and bless me but the album starts with the fanfare of 20th Century Fox, it appears Newman wrote it!! I was not expecting to hear that .

    The album also has a booklet with “movie stills”, I like the one of swashbuckling pirate Tyrone Power. 😹

        Omg a friend of mine in high school had the Any Requests album and we used to love the John and Marsha song, among others. A great talent.

      Last two albums. Segovia plays Bach, maybe I just don’t like his guitar but I prefer Williams or Julian Bream playing Bach.

      And the Maya guitar music went in the bin, it sounded like the worst musak.

    Anti-gratitude thread.

    First world problem. Phone is out of storage, and trying to put photos onto laptop to put onto external hard drive (laptop only has one USB-A port). It’s making the laptop very slow, so can’t do much else on it for the next eleven hours apparently, or unplug my phone. First it said an hour and twenty, now it says 11 hours.

      I’m a dumbass sometimes. Returned and exchanged an item where I thought something was missing and it turns out the piece is embedded into the lid.

      🤦‍♂️

      A restful evening after work it was not :(

      My Win 11 laptop keeps trying to force me to try ‘New Outlook’ instead of the default Mail app. I’d do it, but currently Mail is an aggregate for multiple email account for my small biz and I can’t risk stuffing them all up migrating the accounts

    They had a replay of the world cup final, but with men’s teams (it was only the Euros). England lost to Spain again and I am very happy!
