Shaving near the throat is scary. I keep thinking of that scene from Eastern Promises.

Wouldn’t it be easier to apply hot wax on your face and rip the hair out?

they're quite easy to learn on. i have an older wacom intuos that i bought when i was an intern at a web design company. the pen came with different nibs that you could insert to get the desired feel when you drew on it. one was a little rough that made it feel like you were drawing on paper; that's the one i used as i liked the feeling of it and it made it easier to go slower and gave a bit of resistance.

mine looks like this:



there was a guy that worked there and he used nothing but his tablet, even for normal internet stuff. he didn't even have a mouse on his desk, lol. he said he got so used to using the buttons on the pen, that he just preferred it over a mouse.

but for graphical work, like in photoshop, they're so much easier to use and to create drawings than using a mouse.

Does Life imitate Art? I mean like are there times when your life seems to be similar to a movie or book? I kinda feel like my life currently seems close to Lolita or something

Millenials are so clueless about anything older than 5 years it's hysterical. I was watching youtube clips of game show contestants (Wheel of Fortune, particularly) and they were getting even simple answers wrong. They suck in geography, music, classic films, and a bunch of other pop culture stuff than any seasoned adult would guess on a dime. Sometimes I feel like I'll be the only one left who remembers anything when I'm surrounded by these people.

I was talking to some friends of mine about their favorite TV shows.

They listed off a few series, but then made an interesting statement.

They said they have never watched a complete series all the way through if they know it's ending or if the show has too many seasons and they soon lose interest.

So, my question is, are their TV shows you have watched but have no intention of actually finishing the series?

Me too. I gave up after the midseason break last season, or maybe it was two seasons ago. I don't remember. I did watch Rick's "last" episode tho. Otherwise, like you I just lost interest in it.

I have to finish what I start. For me, so far, my biggest hurdle was Arrested Development, at least in the later parts of the series. The second half of 2018 I started Cheers, and despite seeing it was 11 seasons, I watched every single episode. And now I've started with Frasier, which also ran 11 seasons.

However, I do put shows I want to see on the back burner if they're longer episodes (40+min) that ran awhile - just a mental block knowing I can do 3 episodes of a (20-24 minute show) in just over an hour.

[jayman3]

For me, the show has to grab my interest in it's first season.

If I'm not on board by then, I drop the show.

There have been shows I stopped watching not because of lost interest, but simply don't have the time for. Like Flash and Arrow. I'm probably 2-3 seasons behind now as my personal schedule has gotten so busy those were the only shows I decided to cut out of my viewing schedule.

They're put on hold and if/when the series wraps up I continue watching where I last left off.

I understand if a show has "too many seasons" because it can become a time vampire. But not finishing a show knowing it's ending? That makes no sense to me. If it has an end in sight, why would you not finish it if you like it? The problem with many shows today is that they get cancelled and have no ending. A definitive ending should be attractive when it comes to shows.

I'll get a lot of shit for this, but I quit watching Sons of Anarchy, The Shield and Justified after a handful of episodes. I just couldn't get into either of them. Those are the only shows I can think of that I quit watching. Everything else I started, I finished.

Yes. A couple of TV series I purchased entire runs of will very likely not be watched all the way through because of radical changes made to the structure/storylines. I picked up The Facts of Life (sue me) and Gimme A Break! and I have no intention of finishing the series. Facts of Life lost it's appeal once the girls were moved out of the boarding school. Things went further downhill when Mrs. Garrett's shop

[Show spoiler]burned down

. Charlotte Rae's departure in the 6th season was the final nail in the coffin. Gimme A Break! went even more radical by firing half the cast and moving the storyline to another city. It just wasn't Gimme A Break! anymore.

I think she mentioned watching Pretty Little Liars and she watched it since the beginning but when it was announced to having a final season, she quit. Which I found odd. I asked why and she explained why finish it if there will be no more episodes to watch. Basically saying once she got into the series it ended so why bother watching when it'll end soon?

I guess they would rather be interested in watching an ongoing TV series like The Simpsons, Supernatural, The Walking Dead that doesn't have an ending soon and instead of finishing the series through, they would just move on after losing interest.

Which makes me ponder how committed they are to real life relationships...

Can someone tell me, why almost all lesbian films seem to have breast shots? Sometimes they don't seem really need but I am not really complaining just more of wondering.
I suppose it is either for men or teenage lesbians that are randy.

I'm sorry, but your friend makes no sense, lol. And yes, I agree with your last statement. There's something weird going on in that head of hers.

anti-dandruff shampoo

if that doesn't do it...go see a dermatologist. they may be able to prescribe a clinical-strength shampoo. more expensive than otc shampoo, but usually better results.
