How her mother got her to hold still long enough to put on and dry toenail polish I can't imagine chhinnamasta June 30 2011, 11:54:58 UTC
I haven't used one of these, yet, so I can't say for sure that they make the job any easier, but perhaps Mom applied polish with one of these? Have you tried one?

Hey, interesting idea. Makes sense, since customers to are familiar with markers to package it this way. But no, I haven't either. I should start with mermaid blue, maybe?

Mermaid blue squovals! chhinnamasta June 30 2011, 16:12:52 UTC
Mermaid blue? I dunno. You can always try the nail selector tool, and see if it would work with your skin tone... I have just learned from said tool that my nails are squoval shaped. I love that word! SQUOVAL!!

The job itself, eh not so much, but the smelly book access makes so much other stuff bearable. How's your work?

Not so much book stuff as I would like, sadly. Online drones do a lot of publishing for people who are cheap. I have thought about throwing in with them, but I know it would wound my soul. My soul don't need wounding...

Hee i love smelling books too (even modern ones), no idea what's up with that. Maybe my hippocampus thinks that's what ideas smell like?

Re foot fingers: probably my third or fourth game will be set aboard a space station, only parts of which have twirly artificial gravity, the rest being inhabited by people surgically altered for life in zero-g: diminutive, minimal vertigo / nausea or bone / muscle atrophy, capable of hibernation, and with two pairs of hands each (it's always bugged me how we've got four hands but waste two with walking). So um anyway neat to hear about the baby burbleclapping.

Yes! Learning something new smells like books! And learning something new is nearly as good as sex, and sex is pretty darn good.

I also wonder if the reason we act so differently online is simply that we can't smell the folks we're interacting with, so our primitive monkey brains regard them as more like fictional characters than actual people.

Could be; how people smell is pretty important to me, and it rises above the level of subconscious awareness sometimes - did you know that a number of men under a certain age, if they don't have a regular sex partner, put off an odor that is really disturbing in closed spaces, such a car? It smells like a fire alarm - high ph and choking, like they might be dangerous. I've never smelled that odor on a man I knew was married or attached. It's completely bizarre ( ... )
