Tracii, it's not for everyone ;) It is an incredibly densely populated state and with so many people living on top of one another there is a general attitude of "live and let live, but we're gonna say something about it." I think I've written about it before, but a NJ resident will say things affectionately to people whom they figure are 'in the know' with them. If a NJ resident says something mean TO you, it usually means genuine affection with the expectation of being treated in kind. If you get the sense that a NJ resident is saying something mean ABOUT you and trying to be sly, then they think they're smarter than you and they're just an a--h-le. But a NJ friend with whom you trade affectionate barbs is usually a loyal friend for life. Common here is the expression "A friend will help you move. A NJ friend will help you move … a body."

I had to stop using vise-grips for plucking my eyebrows because the cost of replacing them, when they broke every month, was too high. Even at Harbor Freight prices.

Way to bring it back, Leslie! Meanwhile, I'm wondering if I should switch to a 220 grit on my belt sander for taking off my foundation

Which reminds me... Is self-levelling concrete available in a variety of skin tones? Or will I need some emulsion?

Hey Macey here's your funny coincidence. NJ has almost the exact same population density as England (not the UK, mind you). NJ is 467 per square kilometer while England is 470...
I wonder if there's a correlation between that and the humour? 🤔🤣

In a lot of cases your postman could have been on that route for a long time and can get to know you well enough to share some banter with you.In my distant past as a postie I indulged in such banter and never once was I pulled up for it

It's the difference between irreverence and disrespect. In fact we can't respect those who can't be irreverent about themselves. We'll prick your pomposity if you won't do it to yourself is how I put it to a French friend. But we always admire those who can be self-deprecating.
Maybe it's down to post-Imperialism?
I just know life would be more monochromatic without decent banter.
Thanks Teresa!

Abbie,
Only use self leveling concret once you've use polyfiller as a base coat.
I also find exfoliating with a grit blaster works wonders for the complexion.
Hair removal on my legs is done with a Flymo, 18" blade if course.

Nice pic, LMS!
Now we need one showing the next step, cordless triangular detail sander for those pesky crevices!
-
For me I prefer paint stripper, much cheaper and it washes off easily!

Maybe I should write all this down and show it to my postman and tell him he's a troublemaker !! Actually he's on holiday this week I'm beginning to wonder why ?
Can you believe I've now burnt my wallpaper stripper out so will have to buy a new one tomorrow , without it my makeup looks like a ploughed field , no doubt if Carole reads this she'll say , " So what's new !! "

As if, Teresa............... I did think you used foundation on your face tho' not wallpaper................................

This is the most normal British conversation I've heard today.

Wifelong GG,
Dare I ask , do you feel you've been converted ?

The best make-up remover for the stylish CD'er is, Janitor in a drum industrial cleaner and a putty knife. Follow this with a liberal dose of vitamin E cream, the putty knife can be used again, as long as it was cleaned between uses. And now for something completely different.........

We only pick on the people we like, all the others get upset. I've know a few British guys, if you can understand what they are saying they are same as everyone. On a side note I am selling a panty debuncher for only $9.99 and free shipping. After some of the recent threads I think several members here could use one.

Late to the party but have to put this out there...
I grew up in a small city in West Texas known for its absolutely awful tasting water.
The Humor writer for the local paper ran a contest; Our water tastes like:....
The winning entry was something along the lines of, "I don't know because I refuse to drink it. I do however know it is the only substance known to man that will remove Tammy Faye Baker's makeup."

I'm also told that good old fashioned Pumice stone works well gets all of the make up off and exfoliates the skin at the same time,cheaper than a belt sander!
-
That is great interaction. :-)

Anyone try using the Original play dough (Kutol)?
