Thank you!

If you're looking for stuff for your face, I also recommend the following Korean beauty items. Nows a good time to buy them from kbeauty online retailers because most are doing deals and free shipping (November 11 is a Korean holiday):

• Illyoon Ato Ceramide Concentrate Cream
• Etude House Soon Jung 2x Barrier Intensive Cream

Maybe I missed this on reading (and rereading) the article, but do they mention the airline?

Unless you want a brand name IUD? I got a Mirena covered, no problem, in the US.

If you like Cetaphil and Cerave, you will also like Vanicream and Eucerin.

Dr. Bronners liquid Castille soap. I've tried others but they are not as concentrated or as moisturizing. Great diluted for shaving legs.

Sensodyne Pronamel Intensive Enamel Repair Toothpaste. I've reversed three cavities that were forming by using this toothpaste.

Persil detergent. I use other detergents but always have this on deck for tough stains or funky items.

Jockey women's cotton underwear. There's a specific cut that they have that's flattering and comfortable.

I also suspect that they mark up the prices for goods they encourage to be stolen. I was in a Walgreens and saw some Stridex pads for $22 (they go for around $4.50 on Amazon). That way if it gets stolen they can claim huge losses.

So Mohawk-esque? That I can get with.

It looks less than practical. What do you do when you want to pull it all way from your face? Rock a side ponytail?

My husband and I had two kids because we (1) both have union jobs with decent worklife balance, and (2) had high quality yet reasonably priced daycare in our neighborhood. (It still cost us more than our mortgage when both were in daycare.) If we didn't have that we'd have only one kid and still make some pretty big sacrifices (we both really wanted kids). I truly don't know how other people do it without kind, generous family members nearby or very high paying jobs. ETA: We know A LOT of families with only one kid.

"Survival gymnastics" is the perfect description.

I do the same with YT Music and tolerate the ads. Then, when they hit on a few songs I'm enjoying, I go to Newpipe and play playlistss or extended version of the songs/artists. I also build my own playlists in Newpipe.

If I discover a song I like IRL (say, on the radio or in the background of a video), I add it to both YT Music and Newpipe (e.g., I'm listening to Chaleya from the movie Jawan on Newpipe right now, discovered when I was out and about).

ETA: Newpipe also offers auto-enqueing, which might lead to more discovery.

Thank you - I'm adding these to my list! And yes, I'm a Good Place fan. I didn't mention it because OP mentioned recently seeing it.

If we're talking Paul F. Tompkins we should also recommend the original run of Mr. Show (starring Bob Odenkirk and David Cross). A hilarious and extremely influential sketch comedy show.

And if we mention David Cross we should also recommend the original seasons of Arrested Development. One of the most well written sitcoms ever.

Please watch them - they're very different but both great. What shows not on my list would you recommend?

I love sitcoms but beneath their light exterior they always have a heart of darkness, or at least a trace of one. But given your OP, I figure you can handle a teensy bit of a shadow side. Here are some generally upbeat shows with lots of laughs.

Catastrophe- I think it strikes the right balance of optimism in the face of doubt. It's light but not saccharine. It's my favorite sitcom.

It Crowd

Black Books

30 Rock

Black-ish

Adventure Time

Mentioned in lots of other replies:

Parks and Rec

New Girl (extremely underrated)

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

Brooklyn 99

Taskmaster

WILTY

So funny to troll this community with wholesome life-love-laugh type memes. Well played, OP.

Is that even legal to state?

Lots of good recommendations here.

But if you're willing to try YouTube again, you can watch seasons of the British panel game show Taskmaster. The contestants are almost all stand up comics. The challenges are extremely creative, entertaining and a bit twisted, and the solutions the contestants come up with are often really brilliant. There are 16 seasons and there are versions from other countries like New Zealand.

Am I the only one who likes this song? I even love Last Christmas. I think it's because I don't go into brick and mortar stores often, so I can go a whole season and only hear it a few times. Somehow I hear Father Christmas and Christmas Wrapping way more often.
