    Emailed a section of a story that I was working on from my desktop to be opened on my tablet. Opened it on my tablet and the last sentence was gone. I was still at home, so I double-checked that it had been saved properly before I mailed it, and it had. Sitting in front of the desktop with the tablet, I pecked in the last sentence to the copy in the tablet, which auto-suggested the next word of the sentence each time. The tablet knew what was supposed to be there, it just wouldn't show it to me....

    He looks worse with the bleach blonde dye he's been wearing recently and sometimes he looks like he's been taking meth, but he has the inate features to be attractive which shows in the better pictures.

    Just an idiot posting that has to be deleted because I have to sleep and I will have nightmares and wake up biting my face.

    The bananas at the supermarket this week were all solid green. Four days later, they're still too green to peel. We can send a man to the moon, but we can't get tropical fruit to Michigan from 3000 miles away and have it arrive at a usable state of ripeness?

    Of course you can. The bananas are fine. The greenish hue comes from the general air of Michiganitude surrounding them. It's because you all drink that weird water in Flint and then fart. I bet if you look in the mirror, you look green. (I mean a real mirror, not a Michigan mirror, which is cleverly made to make you look normal.)

    That's my theory, anyway. :p

    Are you sure you weren’t looking at plantains? I think those are supposed to be some shade of green.

    This is semi-rural Michigan. We don't know from plantains.

    You're only paranoid if they really aren't out to get you!

    Sometimes you can speed up the process by putting them in a sealed paper grocery bag (I close it with a chip clip, binder clip, or clothes pin). I’m not sure if any closed container that breathes a bit works, or if chemicals in the paper have anything to do with the process. Works for avocados too.

    Got a haircut and am currently mourning the loss of my long hair. I had to chop off 5 inches due to chlorine damage from swimming. It's an average length now, not too short, so I'm not all that sad about it -and it looks healthier this way probably. But I liked how long it had gotten since the last time I cut it short, which was almost three years ago. Oh well... now I have to figure out how to protect my remaining hair from future chlorine damage. :meh:

    While it may not be the most glamorous of accessories, a swim cap may help.

    And my Whinge is Junk channels on YT. :p

    Haha, I already wear a silicone one whenever I swim. It helps, but only to a certain extent; water will always get in after ten or so minutes. And junk channels... gah, I feel your pain :p

    Some kind of hair product or conditioner to put on before swimming?

    I'm going to try putting conditioner in my hair before I swim tomorrow and see how it goes. Supposedly, your hair will absorb the conditioner before it gets exposed to the chlorine and that way, it won't be able to absorb the chlorine water. It'll probably be a pain to get my cap on over it, though, and I'm hoping conditioner won't just leak out into the pool. Hopefully it will work. :meh:
