I know this is pedantic, but that’s a cross, not a crucifix. The difference is that a crucifix has jesus on it.

I only mention this because I was hoping to see a bedazzled jesus corpse and was super disappointed.

Holy shit. This is either really egregious ineptitude or intentional persecution of a political “enemy” of Trump’s. I’m not sure which because Halligan is so deeply unqualified for her position. Maybe it’s both.

Could watch a thousand times: Grease.

Ugh I love the smell of lantana 💚

Lightly steamed with a little lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

It’s been a long time since I built a snow fort, but I was partial to the mason method. Of course there must be a snowball cache! Because I know my sister is lurking somewhere…

Wow! Are you interested in seeing snow in person someday, or nah?

If god had a name, what would we call him?

Hell yeah!

I wonder if we’d find his work funny today.

You’re the nurse who couldn’t deal with extroverted coworkers and had to leave your job, right?

Respectfully, you should learn from that experience that your hardline introversion doesn’t serve you well in the workplace. Any manager will be more interested in preserving team dynamics than coddling a brittle individual. I don’t mean to be harsh but you need to learn a little flexibility or you’re going to run into the same problems again and again. You picked a people-facing career and chances are high that most of your colleagues will be on the extroverted side.

It’s fine to be introverted but you need to communicate your needs in a way that doesn’t alienate or offend your colleagues. It sounds like you want them to meet you where you are, rather than compromising somewhere in the middle. It won’t kill you to make a couple minutes of small talk, followed by a polite excuse as you remove yourself to be alone. You can even say something direct, like “I don’t mean to be rude, but I’m not huge on chitchat, and I have some studying I need to catch up on.” People prefer honesty to just being iced out.

You can’t expect them to respect your feelings and preferences if you’re not willing to do the same for theirs.

What about the ponies? Are you a ponyphobe or something?

It’s acetone, not ammonia. The acetone needs to evaporate in order for your nail polish to set.

Your best option will be gel polish. It cures under a UV light and is completely dry and odorless once it’s cured. Depending on how quickly your nails grow, gel polish can last a decent couple/few weeks. Downside is that it’s a pain in the ass to remove and can damage your nails if they’re fragile.

You could also try press-ons. I haven’t tried them since the mid-nineties so I can’t personally speak to the quality or longevity, but they’ve had a resurgence in popularity lately which makes me think they’ve gotten much better.

If you stick to regular nail polish, you could try a few things:

• Work in thin coats - thick polish takes too long to dry.
• Quick-dry polish and/or quick-dry topcoat. A lot of people like the Seche Vite topcoat because it dries to the touch in like 5 minutes, and sets pretty well after about 2 hours. Be warned though that it often causes shrinkage, so be sure you wrap your tips and leave less of a gap around the cuticle to help reduce this.
• Use a hairdryer on warm to make your polish dry more quickly.
• Once your nails have dried to the touch, gently wash your hands (pat them dry rather than rub them with a towel).
• Pet your cats from behind so they don’t get a whiff of your nails.

Not in my house
Not in a flat
Don’t make me grouse
I do not want that!

I’m American and I knew what it was, so it’s a thing here too.

I never understood this - I think giving people a tour of your house is such a weird thing to do.

Have you ever smoked? Because I assure you you’re wrong about this.
