Neutrogena, very popular here, too! :D But partly with Dimethicone including, too.

But these classic brands are equally supressed by good quality-storebrands, these days. Free of Dimeticone, Paraffinum-Liquidum and so on.

Christmas. This couple does this every year. The other friend probably does feel the way you described, and I'm probably overreacting because in the past people have questioned my enthusiasm. It's not that I don't want to see people. It's that chronic pain limits me. People know this, but they don't really know this.

I often would have severe headaches that lasted an average of 3 days.

When this happens, I just want to shut out all lights, sounds & avoid people.

When the headache are leaving, I feel a sense of relief
& the world is wonderful again.

I don’t assume to know what you are going through.
I just hope you feel better soon.
You have a beautiful smile.

You are truly a singularly special person. Even though I know I will be amongst those to be shot in the first purges of your dictatorship - I can't help admiring your passion.

Perhaps during her regime as dictator...she could initiate a ruling that mustard be packed in tubes like toothpaste.
In this manner she can squeeze the last bit before discarding the tube & not
have to spit. Sometimes it’s necessary.
But when done in public on sidewalks, spitting ticks me off.

I write this even though I’m aware that I will probably be right next to you on the firing line. :(

Fake Service Animals
People who bring their pets into stores, restaurants and on flights claiming them to be service animals when clearly they're not. I've even heard of people trying to claim a snake or tarantula as an "emotional support" animal.

I've seen the snake thing in person -- there was a guy here in town who'd walk around with a boa constrictor wrapped around his neck like a scarf, and the snake had a little vest on with "Support Animal" written on it. I assumed that I was gazing upon hipster irony, but you can never tell. There's also a lady in town who has a rabbit she leads around on a leash, but I don't think it's a support rabbit, just a plain regular street rabbit.

We actually have very few people trying to bring support animals into the theatre -- occasionally there's a woman with one of those little poochy dog-looking things in her pocketbook, but as long as she keeps it quiet during the show I don't mind.

What I do mind is people thinking they need to bring their dogs everywhere -- not support dogs, just plain Fido The Family Pet dogs. I like dogs just fine, but I don't remember ever seeing them traipsing around in grocery stores and banks until the last twenty years or so.

I'd never think of taking my cat to the bank. She'd rather stay home and rip up my bank statements without having to go into such a vulgar place herself.

Kids are too exhausting, animals are better... ;) Same problem in Germany.

In Germany, crayfish is available at really every supermarket and sometimes I'm wondering, that so much of them is available, at every time. But I think, the scandinavians are eating even more of them, than the germans. :D
