My cousin, who has two daughters, took them to see a free outdoor showing of Grease. She knew there was some questionable stuff in it already, but she said she forgot how misogynistic it is. Also, I remember when she was 8 and I was 10, my parents took us to see Wayne’s World. The movie thankfully has held up, but I don’t think I’d let my hypothetical 8-year-old watch it. OTOH, a lot of the sex stuff in it went over my head back then, so I don’t know.
Listen friend, there is a reason that I don’t have long hair and shave half my head. And the reason is because the hair gets into my food, gets rolled up in windows, gets caught in seatbelts, and occassionally would attempt to suffocate me in my sleep. I can’t imagine a clock would be any less dangerous in my hands or around my neck.
Can you convince my daughter to get a mohawk? I think she’d look awesome with a mohawk. But she’d prefer huge out-of-control afro. Which is fine, I guess, but a mohawk would be so much cooler.
The great thing about hair is that (usually, but with some exceptions) it grows back.
Let your daughter have the huge out-of-control afro when that’s what she’s feelin’ for her hair. But meantime, send her cool-ass pics of mohawks as inspiration! I mainly find people will say “Oh, I don’t have the head for that” but everyone has the head for a mohawk if they want to jam that style.
She’s got her whole life ahead of her to do wild stuff with her hair. Be supportive of wacky styles and she will eventually work her way up to mohawk. It’s irresistable!
Just a wild guess, but I’m going to assume it’s because Sandy changed who she was for a dude. Sure, Danny initially changes himself for Sandy, but then he goes back to the way he was.
I absolutely let her do whatever she wants with her hair. Her mother doesn’t like it but I also had a huge afro at her age. I still think she’d look cooler with a mohawk though.
And yeah, she is a blast. When she’s not hiding in her room watching YouTube videos.
I wouldn’t say she’s a good drummer yet. She’s only been taking lessons for a year. But she’s not terrible. And yeah, we’re using practice pads. It’s fine. I can go hide in my office in the garage when she’s practicing and she can even take the pads off then!
I have always worn one and notice it when I leave the house without it on.
As a kid even though I’m right handed I always put my watch on my right wrist.
It was never an issue until I was in my late 30s and started using a mouse a lot. I tried various wrist rests but they didn’t help.
So I moved it to my left wrist. It took just about 1 year to get used to the switch.
Why must all the cute shoes for women essentially be foot prisons? The only bad thing about my day thus far was wearing these cute wedge shoes. My 4’11" SIL wears f-ing stilettos on the regular, to the point where it feels more comfortable for her to wear those than flats. I may not be much taller than her (I’m 5’2"), but I am not willing to turn my feet into Barbie feet. Thankfully, I’m home for a bit. Supposed to meet up with a friend later, but when I do, I’ll be wearing my much more comfy Nike slides.
The closest my wife gets to cute women’s shoes is Mary Janes without heels. Which is fine with me, whatever makes her comfortable. I get wanting cute shoes, but I don’t get torturing your feet. I mean you wouldn’t wear gloves that hurt your hands…
I hate shopping for shoes. My feet are two different sizes and two different widths. So if I can find comfortable shoes, I get them. I don’t care if they’re cute. I care if they fit and are comfortable. I have no cute shoes. Oh, wait. I take that back. I have a pair of Skechers that are actually comfy and would, I suppose, be described as cute. Otherwise? Nope. Don’t care.
Most “typical” women’s shoes look to me like they’d be better as wall-mounted sculpture than as footwear. Their real purpose is display your wealth (or that of your partner) and emphasize that you can afford to go around for days at a stretch in a state where you’re unfit to perform manual labor or move faster than .5 mph. Lol. I forget which psychology-of-fashion book I saw explain this in my college days, but it’s true.
As for the earlier discussion of wristwatches: they are one thing about the past which I don’t miss at all. Along with laugh tracks, and possibly a few other things from the dawn of time which I’m not thinking of right now.
