Friday OT - Southern Trees Bear a Strange Fruit

[Abatter]

Oh it's definitely good, but moderation is the key. It doesn't take much

That's what she said

 

[Ms3r4ISU]

Pretty regular stuff for us, strangest thing would be a small leftover container of sauerkraut. Not strange to have leftover kraut, very strange that I would save what looks like less than a teaspoon's worth.

We had slightly more than that left for several weeks after St. Patrick's Day and Rueben sandwiches. Sauerkraut can (did) go bad.

A few years ago, I was minding my own business at Cheyenne Frontier Days, when out of nowhere, a jellyfish stung me...

And you just happened to have a clear glass container with you.

Braunschweiger. Only way to get the dog to take his Simparica Trio, that is allegedly chewable and oh so tasty

Should I be concerned that so many of people's weird things are regulars in my fridge?

 

[Cyclones_R_GR8]

For my fridge, what is weirder. The Dr Pepper or the lime juice?

It's a gel. I like it OK but wasn't blown away.

I spent much of 2020 messing around with different curly hair products trying to find my staples (or holy grail products as some people call them). I spent so much money only to find that my hair does just fine with Herbal Essences mousse and a product called Uncle Funky's Curl Stimulator.

Were you by chance trying to do the 'Curly Girl Method'?

Yes. I started trying to follow it at that time. I still do a modified version because some things just didn't work for me.

My wife has been trying do that for awhile and hasn't been getting the ideal curls that she wanted.

Brick cheese, which smells like limburger.

I can't do the no-shampoo. I have to do a low-lather, at least. It also is meh for me.

 

[Bipolarcy]

Chocolate covered Salted Nut Roll candy bars, a whole box of them. You know, it's hot outside and they'd melt if I didn't put them in the refrigerator.

All the empty space is what's weird. Get some groceries dude

Big Jeffrey Dahmer vibes.

Hey this is what happens when you’ve moved in 3 weeks ago but spent 15 days out of the country right after. Sue me!

So I tried the curly girl method but it wasn’t as good as Reddit claimed. Then I started mixing and matching products until I found my “holy grail” routine. I do think it’s just different preference and hair style. The gel did crap for me personall. I also think a lot of the advice was written for broke college kids which is great and makes the method accessible but it took a while to realize that there’s really good quality products to use instead.

I have a medicated ketocanonzole shampoo I use a few times a week for some dermatitis issues which screws some things up. But this is my normal routine. I wash and condition every other day.

Wash day:

• Shampoo with SheaMoisture Intensive Hydration Shampoo with Manuka Honey and Mafura Oil
• Deep condition with Briogeo Don’t Despair, Repair! Deep Condition Hair Mask
• Comb in after shower the SheaMoisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie
• Comb in more the SheaMoisture Frizz Free Curl Mousse
• Style with SheaMoisture Hold & Shine Moisture Mix

I do a 5-10min plop with a microfiber towel between the deep condition and hair smoothie. Allows me to shave or brunch my teeth or whatever I need to do in between.

Non wash day:
Comb in the SheaMoisture Frizz Free Curl Mousse
Style with SheaMoisture Hold & Shine Moisture Mix

Braunschweiger is good. I only buy it every few years because it's so unhealthy.

That seems like a lot of work. And you mean there are days you don’t wash your hair?

Sounds like you were reading the “Which fast food restaurant gives you the worst poops?” thread before posting this.

 

[ISUCyclones2015]

It is a lot of work. And I’ll never complain to a girlfriend with long hair again about how long this crap takes. (I will complain about time management though!)

You’re probably washing your hair way too often. Even 4 times a week is shown to be too much for a lot of people. Some people only need to wash 2 times a month. This concept took a long time for me to grasp but I’ve had healthier scalp and hair ever since.

Unless you have really oily hair or exercise every day with heavy sweating, you don’t need to wash it every day. Ask your wife how often she washes her hair. I think you’ll be surprised.

@Angie sorry for detailing slightly, maybe a future OT should be “what is your shower/hair care/body care routine?”

Wife washes everyday. My hair feels slimy if I don’t.

Braunschweiger is good. I only buy it every few years because it's so unhealthy.

He wouldn’t eat it in a pill pocket and he’s the only dog I have ever had that hates peanut butter. Vet tech suggested braunschweiger, she described it as stinky, gummy, and filled with fat and organs and crap no one should eat so dogs love it. Cream cheese works in a pinch.
