  • Speaker: Towards a realistic drug policy,

    Also, try being a conventionally longer-haired woman and washing with nothing but water so your 'natural oils' don't get 'stripped', and see how many jobs you get after a series of stringy-rats-tailed interviews.

    I was mostly meaning soap on my body. Shampoo tends to go on me after using it, and that's my main issue with it. I don't get itchy hair , although the scalp can definitely get dry - I have far less dandruff than when I used to shampoo.

    I'm sure washing long hair is a chore. Although it seems from the outside that it's not the washing that's the problem, it's the drying, brushing and combing afterward. Conditioner helps?

    3410, I tend to find water does a good job. It removes everything that is water soluble. Only oily substances seem not to be, which includes the natural oils we produce.

    ...curiously, I never actually use soap, except on my hands. But I respect people's right to strip their bodies of natural oils on daily basis, for the purposes of social conformity. If that's what it takes for people to feel clean...

    Good call Just Thinking, I just tried some. That numb feeling in my toes seems to be spreading to my legs - cooool. Come to think of it, I've never seen a corpse itching. We owe a cock to Asclepius. See to it.

    Sophie, will try it.

    I got lost on that 50km cycle route at the age of 10, ended up in Onehunga. Someone must have ripped a sign down or something. But I found my way home, faced the music when I got there. I was pretty proud of myself, but I never wanted to do it again.

    Chuck Norris is a poof too.

    Chuck wouldn't ride up the mountain, he'd push the mountain down.

    Nothing like experience , and, happy to say I refuse to judge because if I haven't tried it ,I cannot judge.

    Those who don't experience often are the most judgmental, though. And they are uninhibited in their right to say so. One of the worst outcomes of prohibition.

  • Hard News: Holiday Musings,

    There's plenty of sedate games. Puzzles and such. Strategy games, turn based, human or computer opponents.

    Can I be your brother from another other?

    A Band of Others?

    Depends where you live BenWilson

    True. I do find remote places a little freaky. People could go missing and no one would even know.

    but my childlike sense of wonder is still intact

    Mine's indestructible.

    Cheer andin. I'm really feeling like I'm a big part of groupthink here on this thread today. My usual part, the Other.

    Islander, my favorite blunt instrument would be the fear of the long arm of the law.
