Why don’t Americans like roll-on style deodorant? It goes on easily and dries quickly and doesn’t stain your T-shirts but there’s only ever two brands that offer it on a shelf of dozens and dozens of deodorant options. And why does the deodorant here smell so strong? It’s a weird cultural difference I wasn’t expecting and now I’m spending mad $$ to get decent deodorant shipped to me from abroad.

My best guess is the dry time is inconvenient. I tried them once when I was younger and I didn't have all that time to wait for my deodorant to dry. Have you tried Garbier Obao brand roll on? Sometimes Mexican stores sell them. They smell nice you can also find it at wal mart.

I use Crystal roll-on. Love it. No aluminum or baking soda, doesn't clog the sweat glands, and yet it works.

Nooooo I’ve never seen it here but will try it out!

Huh. I never thought about it.
What roll-on are you importing?

Certain-dri roll on here

I’ve been using Lume and it’s pretty fantastic. I use the deodorant cream and I have never felt so fresh. It actually does what it claims. It’s unreal.

If you're very early on in your pregnancy (like 4-6 weeks), and you're going to the dentist and eye doctor for a regular cleaning/check up appointment, when they ask if you have any recent health changes, do you let them know you are expecting but are very early along ? Or do you just not say anything re: pregnancy ?

I’m trying to accept that my dad just isn’t going to start taking care of himself. He’s been about 100 pounds overweight for maybe 14 years now. He’s talked so many times about getting in better shape, eating right, losing weight. He’s lost 20-30 lbs a couple times but then goes back to where he started. He turns 60 this month and I’m really becoming concerned about heart disease and other issues. I’ve tried supporting him in many ways over the years. Just ready to give up now.

My mum cheated on my dad when I was in grade school and I still resent her for it. I try not to but my dad sacrificed so much for everyone in our family and I don’t understand how she could have done that.

Somehow my dad found the strength to forgive her because he didn’t want us growing up in a broken family like he did. I feel like I can’t fully move past it after seeing how it broke my dad and it subconsciously affects my actions towards my mum sometimes.

When I was just out of college, I worked in a call center for a Fortune 500 company. One night, ten minutes before my shift was scheduled to end, I received a call from a customer. They needed simple maintenance performed on their account. But, for some reason, they were LIVID! From the second I picked up the receiver, I was bombarded with a profane tirade that went on and on. "I WANT A MANAGER!," he eventually shrieked. So, I connected the call... to a Taco Bell manager in Idaho.
