    I have rough, dry, sore hands from frequent washing/sanitizing; recommendations for restoring softness and comfort?

    A+D ointment is kind of disgusting, but it's super thick and has worked for me during this dry winter.

    Accordingly, you might want to quietly clean our your desk, all under-the-radar-like.

    Tattoo Numbing Cream
    Img_2371_small

    I don't know anything about tattoos, but I have used prescription lidocaine for medical purposes, and it comes in different strengths--2% didn't do much for me at all, while 5% numbed enough for my needs.

    I can't find what percent Dr. Numb is, but Amazon looks to sell at least a couple different strengths of lidocaine ointments in various brands, and doctors can prescribe higher, or even get it compounded if something's not available. Both options might be worth a look if you're expecting serious pain and think a strong enough topical might do the trick.

    LADIES! Where should I get my hair cut??
    Img_2371_small

    I go to Shanghai Hair Studio in WS, because they seem to know what to do with my longish, wavy hair, and they're relatively inexpensive (more than Great Clips, less than everywhere else). I actually really like the cut Alan has given me. On the other hand, he did (with my permission) cut off some length, which looks better on me; I don't know if he would encourage you to do the same.

    I was wondering about 94.9 too. In other cities I've lived in, the local public radio news station was between 89 and 91 FM; it surprised me that here it's in what I think of as the middle of the dial.

    Where can one find the best bacon in Seattle?

    For variety, don't forget the steakon (beef bacon) at Stopsky's. Not exactly Seattle, but close and tasty.

    How do I convince my Christian parents accept me living with my boyfriend?
    Img_2371_small

    I'm with O my captain. This is not your problem--which is not to say it doesn't pain you, but that there's simply nothing you can do about it and you'll only feel lousy if you try and inevitably fail. 

    I will add a few things you can do if you want to make yourself feel less negative.

    First, try to treat your parents with as much love and respect as you always have.

    Second, never let them see the negatives of your relationship. Don't mention your minor fights, anything that irritates you about your boyfriend, etc, to avoid giving anyone ammo to fire at you.

    Third, allow your parents to voice concerns you consider reasonable, e.g. if they see your boyfriend saying something particularly unkind to you. You don't have to discuss it in depth--say, if they ask about your sexual health--but it's understandable for them to worry that you're protecting yourself. You can respectfully listen, answer as you see fit, and then firmly shut down any line of inquiry if you so choose.

    Fourth, if their concerns are unreasonable or voiced rudely, you can tell them you won't talk about the relationship at all. Then go back to #1, and have a nice conversation about something else.

    If all that fails, then it sounds like family isn't as important to your parents as it is to you. Fundamentalists (of all stripes) aren't known for their flexibility, though I hope yours surprise you.

    Well, I'll take your word for it, and better safe than sorry when it comes to ground meat. Perhaps at some point we'll see some additions to the official recommendations.
