Welcome to Unpaid Spokeswomen, a column where we log what we’ve been into this week. Behind the wigs, makeup, costumes, and several layers of irony, we are two humans who genuinely enjoy doing things. Here is a weekly roundup of our unfiltered expert recommendations.
As a child my step-father hated it when my sisters and I would get misty while he shouted (he was a drill sargent in the army). His voice was booming and carried some heavy bass. Years later I realized he had tinnitus in both ears from serving. He never told us that he had constant ringing in his ears. As a retired veteran he now wears hearing aids and speaks much more normally. He has also apologized about telling us to stop crying when we were little; as he didn't know how to handle 3 little girls who were weeping constantly from his scary voice. It's really funny now, but he tells me regularly that if I am sad and feel like crying, that I should, and that it's ok because crying is good and he sometimes cries too.😅 Thanks for reminding us to have our healthy dose of crying when necessary, Katya!🥰
...you're telling me I'm not supposed to burst into tears in the middle of sex? Someone really should've said something sooner because I've been doing things all wrong.
Tears spilled while cutting onions apparently have a different effect than tears spilled as a response to emotional stimulus.
"Emotional tears, for instance, have been found to contain protein-based hormones including the neurotransmitter leucine enkephalin, a natural painkiller that is released when the body is under stress."
The quote is from this article and the photographs of the microstructure of different tears is just spectacular!
My best friend has frosting film on his windows as they're right on the street and they look so good. I don't believe he's ever reclined with his tits out covered in Pepsi though...
I have a faux stained glass window cling in my bathroom to prevent peeping eyes and I love it. Glad to see the unopened cigarettes helped smooth it out.
I also love a good cry, but do it so rarely anymore that it only seems to want to come on at the most inappropriate times. I appreciate the tip.
I am a flawed man. When I make a mistake, I try my best to learn my lesson, shrug my shoulders and go about the stuff of life. That works only when I haven't involved someone else in my missed step. When that happens, I am truly sorry and remorseful and I do my best not to revisit this event again. I am guilty of attempting to push time as I don't want to miss a thing. I have made someone feel not well with this as they were taking care of life on many levels. For this missed step, I am truly sorry. Divine timing is. I am trying to relax in the ebb and flow of what will be, when it should be. It's just that...I don't want to miss a thing. I'm sorry.
I LOOOOVE crying at "the pictures". It's one of my favorite things bc I, too, rarely cry and so love the release. My stupid wife always tries to call me out which takes me out of it bc 1) I don't care if I'm "caught" crying bc I love it and 2) You're interrupting my crying! A few years ago I threatened them with their life should they interrupt a good TV/movie cry again. IT'S FUN AND I LIKE IT. She cries at everything and anything though so while I'm doing the "squish squish, squish squish" Edina thing (trying to push tears out), they are trying to hold them in. I went to see the Downton Abbey movie in the theater by myself not long after a surgery (in a semi-weakened state) and sobbed my fucking eyes out. Goooooood good times.
Also, I've been considering doing a weed myself. I forgot I had any and then remembered that I actually have an incredible amount. Gotsta get on it and paint my kitchen.

This window frosting recommendation is really doing something for me.
