Moving to Fukuoka - June 2024

2023.05.30 22:22 Current-Repeat-5780 Moving to Fukuoka - June 2024

Hi All!
I will be moving to Fukuoka in June of 2024 on a Student Visa. 25F (will be 26 when I touch down). I will be bringing my two cats with me and have all the processes Japan requires in the works. I plan on doing the two years for the visa, but I do plan on staying longer with work - I have my master's in engineering technology and plan on trying to intern if possible. (i.e bringing my cats).

I had a few questions (bare with me):
  1. Are there any recommendations for apartments that will accept someone with 2 cats? I will have have a monthly allowance of about 200k yen a month before trying to find work. I have reached out to a few places myself but wanted some recs too.
  2. Recommendations for phone and banks? Recommendations for transferring money between US bank and JP bank?
  3. Has anyone bought furniture from the IKEA down there?
  4. Is it easy to amazon things down there or is there an alternative that locals use more?
  5. Any recommendations for food or drinks? I'll be there about a month before school so I am down to explore.
  6. Any events to meet people to make friends?
  7. Any hair stores with products for African American hair? I can do my own, but salons are welcome too. Nail salons?
  8. Any recommendations on internships or part-time jobs I could look into?
  9. Any other advice?

2023.05.30 21:28 HollyAngelyne Any hairstylists from Guelph looking for a job?

I currently work at Chatters in Kitchener. I have never in all my years of styling worked for a company that actually cares about me as a stylist. They offer free education, paid trips for hair shows and events, and amazing commission as well as a base rate if you don’t make commission (which is great if you’re just starting out) We are opening a new salon in Guelph and we’re looking for new stylists to join the team!

2023.05.30 21:15 Ok_Student_3292 How do I get hair that's like 6 shades of brown back to one colour in a week?

So my natural hair colour is a dark brown. I tried to go blonde but my hair had warmer undertones than I thought, and I ended up ginger. I put ginger dye on top of it and it looked alright, but it clashed with everything, so I put black dye over it.
Got sick of the black so 6-ish months ago I bleached again. This is where it all went wrong. Ended up with some orange, some brown, some blonde, and some still pitch black. Hair held up fine, though.
Went for brown dye. Had no clue what my shade was. Used it. Missed spots. More brown dye. Didn't realise I used the wrong shade until I had five-tone hair (mid brown, light brown, and patches of blonde, orange and black). Made one last attempt with brown dye, and I got everything, but due to the sheer number of colours at play underneath, it's all different levels of brown, plus my dark brown roots, and it looks really bad, both in person and in pictures.
I have two major events I'm attending in the next 2 weeks (one in a week, one the week after). I have not got salon money. I have a full blonding kit (40 vol, blue powder bleach, toner, and a blonde dye) black dye, and red dye. What's my best bet?

New to me30 - Road-trip: Chicago to Charleston
I recently started a new job with a ~7.5 mile commute each way and needed a second car. Decided to spice up my the drive with a little 5speed, reminiscent of the one I learned to drive on.
Picked this ‘87 325, no e, up in Libertyville, IL after the guys at The Werk Shop did a bang up job replacing the timing belt, water pump, some front engine gaskets, rear subframe bushings, and a few other much needed maintenance items.
Over the course of 3 days I drove her ~315 miles / day back home to Charleston, SC. I didn’t touch an interstate or chain restaurant the entire way.
She may not be fast, but she’s mine and made over 28mpg the entire way home. It is definitely more fun to drive slow cars fast!

2023.05.30 20:54 sexitardis What I ask for vs. what I keep getting

What I ask for vs. what I keep getting
My inspo pictures are on the left and my results are on the right. My natural hair colour is about a level 7, maybe 6 with warm undertones (the lighting in these pictures is really cool). I want a natural looking warm sunkissed look and I really don't want my ends looking way lighter than my roots. Whenever I show pictures like this I end up with extremely blonde ends. I've tried multiple salons/stylists. I'm pretty oblivious when it comes to hair and would really appreciate some advice on how to ask for it to look more like the pictures on the left? When I asked to add low lights I was told that it wouldn't be a good idea because we wouldn't be able to bleach the hair again back to the same level later.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hair and Makeup Trial Failure
Ugg.. had my hair and makeup trial today, and despite providing inspo pics, I hate the look. I’m emailing the salon owner to discuss and see options, but after spending $250 on this trial, I am not interested in another $250 to work on solutions. What have y’all done?

2023.05.30 20:46 britbrat2 What’s with the consultations?

I’m so frustrated with every single laser hair removal salon forcing you to do a consultation. They don’t show their prices on the website and make you give your contact info. I fill out the form and someone contacts me and I ask for prices and they refuse to tell me anything and just try to book a consultation!! I have a full time job and no time to go in person to be told info that could easily be sent online! I also know the services are expensive af and want to be sure I can afford it without the embarrassment of having to say I can’t afford it in person. Why can’t it be as easy as booking a waxing appointment? They are losing my business because I’m not doing a consultation. Whatever they want to explain to me in the consultation, just explain in email!!

2023.05.30 19:16 Albablog A Brief Albany F&B News and Gossip Update (Plus other stuff, because I DO WHAT I WANT)

A Brief Albany F&B News and Gossip Update (Plus other stuff, because I DO WHAT I WANT)
-- From Instagram: the owner of Alias Coffee is currently hiring staff for the new Pearl Street location, which he hopes to have open "in the next month or so."
-- From the Notes on Napkins blog: The owner of Stacks Espresso Bar has purchased 153 S Swan Street, which was until very recently a hair salon. He plans to open "a whiskey bar, club, or whiskey-centered event space in the next 12 months."
-- From the Alb Biz Review: that beleagured old building on the corner of Madison and New Scotland (not the one with the boarded-up windows: the one across from that) is finally getting a tenant, kind of. The NYC-based restauranteur that was going to put something in there fell on hard times during COVID, so the deal fell apart. The ground floor of the building has now been split into two spaces. The one on New Scotland is being taken over by Loco Juice and Smoothies, which will be moving in from a bit further down Madison. The landlord is still looking for a restaurant tenant for the larger space that faces the park.
-- The new owners of 300 Delaware Ave, Formerly The Kitchen Table, Formerly Formerly New World Bistro Bar, has applied for a liquor license, created a website and Instagram account, and is currently hiring employees for a restaurant called -- drumroll please! -- "The Delaware." Creative! www.thedelawarealbany.com . It's supposed to be open this summer, which in Albany restaurant years probably means that it'll be open next spring.
-- Bitchin' Donuts on Lark Street, which just opened earlier this spring serving donuts and a few vegan breakfast items, has now expanded its hours (7-7, Wednesday-Sunday) and added a new menu of lunch/dinner options. See the menu below.
https://preview.redd.it/hzjycx1fg13b1.jpg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4e1c004b584a054e3495b09bf01e9388c2b5b3f5
-- Hot coffee gossip: someone who knows someone who works at the Downtube has told me that the old 3Fish space is under new management. If you peek through the windows like a creep you'll note that the interior has been cleared out/cleaned up for the first time in years, lending some credence to the idea that there might be something going in there again.
File under "Not F&B, but interesting:"
-- A business called "Black Dahlia Tattoo & Oddity Parlour" is going to be opening ... somewhere in "downtown Albany," at some point. I haven't been able to get any more info than that about a time and place, but you can peruse their online oddity shop here.
-- From the biz review again: an abandoned warehouse at 1028 Broadway is being taken over by a company called ARE Event Productions, which "provides timing, sound, course and software services for events like 5k, 10k and half-marathon races." In addition to office and warehouse space, "... the vision is to have a multipurpose space for the Albany Running Exchange, a running club with over 1,000 members. It will include about 3,000 square feet for yoga, strength training and other programming starting later this summer. The Albany Running Exchange will be able to use the space as a meeting point for group runs."

2023.05.30 19:05 MjolnirPants Sookie and the Tricky Dick

"Okay," Sookie called out. "That's a wrap!"
A ragged cheer went up from the cast and crew. Deacon walked around, clapping his hands and cheering loudly, making sure everyone else was cheering, too. Sookie walked over to her chair and sank into it, her feet throbbing in time to the cheering people around her. She smiled at anyone who caught her eye and just relaxed.
This was the end of a grueling, forty-five day shooting schedule that had been supposed to be ten hour days, but had ended up being more like thirteen to eighteen hour days for her. They weren't done filming the season. Far from it, in fact. But these were the worst shots, and the cast and crew involved had all agreed to push through hard until it was done. After this, they had about two more months of shooting on a more normal schedule, and then editing could begin.
Deacon, despite his enthusiasm for the end of the push, had not had to attend most of the shots they got, and had instead, been spending 'quality' time with a couple of local groupies and the White Lady. Sookie didn't begrudge him this, of course. She worried a little about the amount of booger sugar going up his nose at times, but his agent had repeatedly assured her that he was using far more often during shoots than during his off time.
Besides, it was only fitting that the star of the show should enjoy the fruits of his fame. Sookie herself had picked up a bisexual couple a week or two ago, when they had a shoot end 'early' (at nine PM) and the next's day's shoot wasn't scheduled to begin until eight AM. She had left set almost immediately and headed to a local gay bar, where someone had recognized her from her OnlyFans days and insisted upon introducing his boyfriend.
She sighed, remembering the sensation of two well-endowed men thrusting into her, and how she'd simply melted when the one behind her leaned forward and around to kiss the other. Bi men were soooo hawt...
She promised herself she'd try to find another bisexual 'gay' couple, now that she had the time.
Deacon had finally got everyone sufficiently enthusiastic -which was a credit to his charisma, really, as everybody was exhausted- and came over to sit next to her in his own chair.
"I am so ready for a couple weeks off," he said.
"It's one week," Sookie reminded him. "And then you need to be ready for the fight scenes. Have you been working with your choreographer?"
"I haven't really had the time..." Deacon whined, causing Sookie to sigh.
"Deek," she said, sitting up in her chair and turning to face him. "You haven't needed to be on set for the past two weeks. You've been coming to, in your own words, 'help keep morale up'. And while I do appreciate your efforts in that regards, it is far more important for you to be ready to shoot your fight scenes in a week. I'm serious here. You need to get with your choreographer and get your moves nailed down tight. We don't have time to push those shoots back any further."
Deacon held up his hands in surrender. "I'll be down at the dojo tomorrow, I swear."
"Tomorrow morning," Sookie insisted.
"Tomorrow morning," Deacon agreed. "In fact, I'm going to get the playbook and go over it tonight, to try to get a head start."
Sookie smiled and patted him on the knee as she rose. She didn't want to be here anymore. The PAs and crew could finish cleaning everything up so the teardown crews could get started tomorrow.
She found her personal assistant and instructed her to make sure everyone knew to do their own breakdowns, then left. Filming on set had certain advantages, including the fact that she was within walking distance of her hotel.
The security guard that Julie had insisted she maintain since that incident a few years ago with the psycho stan peeled herself off the wall she'd been holding up and fell into step behind her. Sookie wouldn't have minded so much, except Julie had carefully picked married, monogamous men and women to fill her security schedule with, to avoid any 'conflicts of interest'.
This gal, Linda Gottlieb, was probably the worst of all. She had a girlfriend and a boyfriend, and yet refused to sleep with anyone else. On top of that, she was as slender as Sookie, flat chested (which Sookie found to be a major turn on) and hard as a rock, with veiny arms and shoulders and even a few visible on her belly.
Sookie was a woman of many tastes, but skinny girls with visible veins and no tits were one of her more notable favorites, and so Linda's categorical refusal to so much as let Sookie slip a hand down her pants was grating.
Linda wasn't wearing a uniform. She wore a tight tank top and a loose flannel with the sleeves rolled up and the front unbuttoned over a pair of blue jeans and hiking boots. Sookie knew she had a gun on her somewhere, but couldn't speculate as to where.
Well, that's not true. Sookie imagined the handle sticking of her ass, riding up between the cheeks of that ass that all flat-chested women seemed to have that was categorically unfair to better-if-still-modestly endowed women like Sookie. She slowed down to get a peek at it.
"Looking at my ass again?" Linda asked.
"Yes," Sookie said. "I was wondering if you keep your gun there. The handle could fit between those cheeks and nobody would be the wiser."
Linda laughed and lifted her flannel to show a handgun tucked into her belt on her hip. "Sorry to disappoint," she said. "But I kinda need to keep it where I could easily get at it."
Sookie sighed, her pleasant illusion ruined.
They turned left out of the studio gates and walked up the road. Despite the presence of the studio, this was kind of a rough area, so Sookie appreciated having some security as she made the walk. Not that she couldn't handle herself, but she'd learned the hard way that being taken by surprise left her as vulnerable as anyone.
They hadn't gotten more than a half a block before a ragged looking man approached them, reeking of booze and shit. His clothes were filthy and torn and he had a scraggly beard that ranged from a centimeter to three inches long, seemingly at random.
"Spare a dollar?" he asked.
"No," Linda said, stepping forward to catch his attention so Sookie could slip past.
"S'just a dollar, lady. I'll lick your pussy for it!" The man leered at Linda, who didn't blink or flinch, but rather gave him a hard shove back.
"Don't you fucking crowd me, talking shit like that," she said menacingly, taking another step forward to keep him off balance.
"Be respectful," she added with force. The man looked like he wanted to argue, but something in the way she looked or held herself made it clear to him that Linda was not to be trifled with. He stepped back until his back was to the wall of the building behind him and watched as Linda turned and caught back up to Sookie, who was watching the whole thing over her shoulder.
"Fucking Dykes!" the man shouted. "Suck my dick!"
"You'd think that at least one of them would figure out that being aggressive like that doesn't work," Sookie mused.
"It doesn't work on you or me, but that's because we know we could take his head off if he tried to get violent," Linda said. "Most women aren't fighters. They'll give him cash just to get him to stop harassing them."
"Fair enough," Sookie said.
This was a common occurrence. Almost every time Sookie walked to her hotel, at least one homeless person would try to panhandle her. Sometimes, if she had any cash, she'd give them some. Once in a blue moon, one would engender enough sympathy for a good payout, a hundred bucks or so. But most of the time, they struck her as entitled ruffians, living on the street thanks to their own bad decisions and trying to get by on other people's labor.
She knew that was an old-fashioned mindset. She knew a lot of these people would, if they got clean of whatever they were using, sort out their lives and take care of business. She knew that the DCM Group even had a charitable arm who straight up gave condos and large sums of money to many homeless people, who immediately used that gift to get back on their feet. She knew the stats, too.
But this particular area seemed to attract the sort of homeless people whom right-wing motards used as an archetype for all homeless people. Twice, someone from the crew had been assaulted, causing Sookie to declare that she and the stunt coordinator were the only ones allowed to walk to and from the studio.
"I wonder if they're actually even homeless," Linda said, her thoughts echoing Sookie's.
"Me too," Sookie said. "I mean, it's a very poor neighborhood, adjacent to a place where very wealthy people work. There's no rule that says you have to be homeless to panhandle."
Linda nodded. Sookie wondered idly if she'd been following her own logic, or seeking out a belief that made her feel better about judging the people here. She wasn't sure which, really.
The area they moved through got progressively nicer as they continued. They turned the last corner, with three blocks still to go when Sookie saw the next one.
This one was older. he only had about a week's worth of beard on his face, though Sookie could see that it was mostly gray. He wore similar clothes to the other one, the once-vibrant colors having long since faded towards a muted gray tone. His clothes, however, looked cleaner and the holes had all been neatly stitched. As they drew close, Sookie could read his sign.
Please help Leave a dollar or take a resume Will work for food
Sure enough, he had a stack of resumes weighted down with a rock next to him. Sookie stopped, intrigued and bent down to retrieve one. She handed the man a folded ten dollar bill at the same time. A reward for creativity in his panhandling, she thought.
She looked at it. The man had a pair of enlistments in the Marine Corps at the top of his work experience. It was back in the early 2000s, and it mentioned Helmand Province, which Sookie recalled had been at the center of a lot of the fighting in Afghanistan.
The next few lines were security companies, starting with a high-end competitor to the Group, and then a long sequence of construction and day-labor work, ending on his current work, which was "Self Employed - Private Investigations". Below that, he had a string of qualifications, including armed security, close protection and bail enforcement.
"This is actually quite a good resume," Sookie told him. She glanced up at the top to get his name, Richard Nixon.
"Richard Nixon?" Sookie asked. "Like the president?"
Richard nodded. "I'll work," he said hopefully. "I can swing a hammer and do plumbing. I'll do a full day's work for lunch and dinner, or a hundred bucks, whichever you prefer."
Sookie handed the resume to Linda, who looked down at it.
"Ain't much different than mine," she said. "Oorah."
"Oorah," Richard muttered back, seemingly on pure instinct.
"So why are you out here, Richard?" Sookie asked. "Your resume says you're self-employed as a private eye."
Richard shrugged. Sookie noted the redness and swelling of his nose. "Work's been scarce," he said. "Been getting fewer jobs for the last few years. Fewer jobs means less money, less money means losing my office, not being able to afford nice clothes, which leads to fewer jobs."
Sookie looked a question at Linda, who shrugged. "We're always looking for investigators. It can be hard to recruit former cops, and those we do are often old enough not to stay on for more than a few years before retiring."
Sookie smiled and nodded, turning back to Richard. "You want an interview?"
"Hell yeah," he said with some enthusiasm. "As long as they don't mind me looking a little rough around the edges."
"Where do you live?" Sookie asked. Richard gestured around. "Lost my apartment last month," he said. Sookie pursed her lips and then nodded and held out a hand to him.
"Come on, Richard. I'm Sookie, and this is Linda. I'll make you a deal. I'll get you a nice outfit to wear and arrange an interview at the LA office tomorrow. I'll put you up on my couch for the night, too. That way, you can shower and shave and look presentable for it. What do you think?"
Richard took her hand and let her help him up. "Are you serious?" he asked. Sookie nodded.
"Holy crap, thank you, lady. Sookie, I mean. Thank you." His eyes began to get watery. "I don't... I don't even know what to say. That would be amazing."
Sookie smiled, her heart wrenching for the guy. She knew he had a drinking problem, but she also remembered all those people the Group's charities helped. Get someone on their feet, and there was a good chance they'd stay there.
"Do you have stuff to get?"
"I uh... I have a storage shed. It's paid up through the end of the year," he said. "My stuff is safe there, I just need to go get my toiletries."
"Don't worry about that," Sookie said, stepping to the edge of the sidewalk and waiting for the traffic to clear enough to cross the road. "We can stop by a drug store, too."
----
Sookie and Linda took Richard shopping and got him everything he needed. Which wasn't much, really. Sookie had a spare toothbrush, razors, shaving cream and cologne at her hotel room. It was all stuff she kept on hand to be the best slut she could be, and make her dishes du jour feel welcome. They bought him deodorant and an electric beard trimmer, and decided to take a pit stop at a hair and nails salon next to the pharmacy.
The girls there had cooed and gooed over Sookie and Linda helping this man out, and refused to accept any money for the trim he got. Unfortunately, they weren't set up to shave a man (all of the other clients inside were women), but Richard protested that he was perfectly capable of shaving himself, so it all worked out.
The next stop was, at Sookie's insistence, one of the ultra-high-end men's clothing stores near her hotel. Linda had protested that simply taking a car to Walmart would be good enough, but Sookie would have none of that.
"Linda, it's been over six years since I've seen a person in Walmart that I'd be willing to give a handy to. It's been even longer since I've seen any clothing there that looked like it didn't come from Walmart, especially the suits. We're not going to Walmart."
As a result, Richard got fitted for a custom-tailored suit and outfitted with a tie that was a pleasant, deep blue, bespeckled with tiny, gold-embroidered Marine Corps logos. He seemed pleased with it, and had to keep wiping his eyes as he repeatedly and profusely thanked her.
When all was done, they finally went to the hotel. Sookie had a full suite on the top floor. It wasn't the biggest suite, but it was close, with two spare bedrooms, a living room and a full kitchen, in addition to a balcony that afforded her a great view of the city (so long as the smog wasn't too bad) and a private elevator to the rooftop pool.
Linda took her usual spot at the door to await her relief for the evening while Sookie showed Richard the large bathroom and made sure he had everything he needed. While he showered and shaved, she decided to review the script.
She walked over to the safe in the living room and carefully punched in her combination on the keypad.
The scripts for The Legend of Jimmy were like solid gold. Every studio out there wanted to get their hands on one, to steal ideas from. Every fan wanted to get one, just for the thrill of knowing what was going to happen next. During the second season's filming, they'd had multiple scripts stolen and leaked, and Sookie had learned to crack down on that. As a result, she was the only one who ever had a full set of scripts for any given season. She kept them safely under lock and key at all times.
She pulled out her working copy, which was different from the 'archive' copy she also kept in the safe. The working copy had all of her handwritten notes on it. She closed the safe back up and locked it, then sat down at the table and flipped open to the scenes they would be filming after the break. Using a red pen, she made notes for herself, things to remember during shooting, like camera angles and notes on the VFX.
She heard the shower turn off, but she was engrossed in her work when the door opened.
"Thanks again," Richard said, causing her to look up. He had a towel around his waist, but Sookie noted that he had a lean torso, with some muscle still there, despite a rough life. Clean shaven now, he looked much better. He'd never get a gig as a model, but he was handsome enough in his own way. Sookie smiled at him.
"You don't have to keep thanking me," she said. "I'm happy to help."
She closed her script and stood, walking it over to the safe. Obscuring her hands with her body, she punched in the code again and placed the script inside. She hadn't yet closed the door when she heard Richard mutter "Oh shit."
She turned to look and froze. He'd turned back towards the bathroom, and then dropped his towel by accident. He was currently in the process of picking it up, affording Sookie a great view of his ass and what might well have been considered a third leg hanging from between the other two.
It came almost to his knees.
A flush of heat went through her, washing away all thoughts of largess and generosity, and kindling a very selfish desire. She heard the spattering on the hardwood floor where she crouched as her usual over-the-top wetness kicked into high gear and soaked through her pants in seconds. She could feel herself throbbing as she eyed Richard's enormous member.
Her disguise slipped and the horns erupted from her head, her tail curled up painfully inside her pants and her skin turned red, with large patches of scales. Operating purely on instinct, she magicked up a veil of mundanity. She didn't want Richard to freak out, and this would keep him from registering her appearance as anything out of the ordinary.
He retrieved his towel and made to wrap it back around his waist, but Sookie shot to her feet and spun, already ripping her shirt off.
"Wait," she said. Richard froze, then turned to look at her over one shoulder. She tossed her shirt on the couch and peeled off her pants. She wasn't wearing any underwear or bra, of course. She never did.
"I just thought of a way you could thank me," she purred, taking a languid step forward. Richard reacted immediately to the sight of her naked, turning, his hog's leg stiffening and rising from its vertical hang slightly.
"Are you, uh... I mean... I'm not..." Richard stammered. Sookie stepped closer to him and put her hands on his shoulder, then ran them down his chest.
"I am damn sure I want to do this, if that's what you're asking," she said, her hands reaching lower as she stepped close enough to press her breasts into his ribs. She took hold of him and felt him grow almost immediately rock hard as he gasped.
"Wow," he said. "This is... This is like something from a porno with a bad script..." he said.
"Uh huh," Sookie said. "And we're about to do the fun parts of it." She pressed her lips into his, and then squealed in delight as he grabbed her by the ass and hoisted her up.
"Where?" he asked into her mouth.
"Pussy, mouth and ass," she replied. She felt the heat rush through his cheeks.
"I meant where in this room," he said.
"I don't fucking care," Sookie responded, lining his huge cock up with her most convenient hole and squirming down onto it with a loud gasp.
"In the bedroom!" Linda shouted. "Please, for the love of god, in the bedroom!"
----
Sookie awoke the next morning and rolled over to see if Richard was up for a little wake-and-shake. Her hands slapped the empty bed and she pouted.
"Richard?" she called, a wonderful aroma meeting her nose as she did. "Are you making coffee already? I'll fall in love with you, or deepthroat you, your choice, if you are!"
He didn't answer.
She opened her eyes and saw that his new suit was missing. An empty hanger was hooked to the coathanger next to the closet. She climbed out of bed, frowning, and walked out into the living room.
It was empty. She could smell the coffee even stronger, and she walked into the kitchen to find the coffee pot full and a business card sitting next to it. She picked it up and peered at it with sleep-bleary eyes.
"Eric Stephens, Private Investigations, Corporate Espionage, Bail Bonds, Security Consultation," she read out loud. There was a QR code on it, so she picked up her phone from where it had been flung to the floor last night and scanned it. While the page loaded, she glanced in the bathroom to see Richard's old clothes still piled there.
She glanced at her phone to see a very clean-shaven and well-dressed Richard smiling at the camera at the top of a very tastefully designed web page. She scrolled through it for a moment, confused. This was clearly him, but why had he given her a fake name? She supposed he could have had this nice website built back when he was still working enough to afford it, but... It seemed off. It didn't fit. Sookie didn't get it.
That was, until she looked to her own pile of clothes by the safe and saw the door still hanging open. With a gasp, she rushed over only to find the safe empty. Both of her scripts were gone!
"Shit!" she shouted.
The door opened and a large, muscular man dressed like a lawyer rushed in, a gun in hand.
"Miss Ohma, is everything all right?" he asked after scanning the room and peering through the open doors.
"No," Sookie wailed. "I just got my scripts stolen!"
"The gentleman who left this morning?" her guard asked. She nodded. "I'm so sorry, Miss Ohma. I would have stopped him if I knew."
"No, you did fine," Sookie said as her eyes filled with frustrated tears. "You're used to men heading out in the morning. Usually they do it after I wake up and we can get another good fuck in, but still... You didn't do anything wrong."
"He left a note," the guard said. "I saw it taped to the inside of the door." Sookie looked over and saw a folded piece of paper taped there. She stalked over and ripped it down, sniffling angrily and wiping at her eyes to read it.
 Dear Sookie, Last night was probably the best night I've had in my life. It's certainly the best night I can remember. If you ever want to do it again, just let me know. I left you a card by the coffee machine, and there's a full pot for you, as well. If you don't ever want to see me again, well, I guess I understand. I'm sorry to have left the way I did, but I'm a man of my word, and my client was willing to pay a lot of money for that script. I hope this doesn't hurt you too much. For what it's worth, I'm sorry if I upset you. Wishing you all the best, Eric 
Sookie crumbled up the paper and angrily threw it across the room.
"Motherfucker!" she shouted. The guard winced, but said nothing.
"He scammed me," Sookie said. "Got a nice new suit out of me, seduced me with that redwood growing between his legs and then ran off with my fucking scripts!"
She let her claws form and dug them into her thighs, carving bloody furrows that healed almost as fast as she made them. The guard started and rushed over.
"Ma'am, please," he said. "I'm not supposed to let you hurt yourself."
Sookie let him pull her hands up to her chest. She leaned into him for a moment. "You're married, aren't you?" she said.
"Uh, no," he said. Sookie turned her head to regard him. She didn't recognize him. "What's your name?"
"Devin, Ma'am," he said. "Devin Iglesias. This is my first shift on your detail."
"Who put you on this shift?"
"Uhh, Missus Williams. She said I'd enjoy this detail, and I agreed. I'm a huge fan of your show, Miss Ohma."
"Are you gay?" Sookie asked. Devin blinked. "Uh, no, Ma'am."
Sookie smiled. "I need you to do two things," she said.
"The second, and most important thing, I need you to call the office and ask for any information they have on a private investigator named Eric Stephens who works out of LA."
Devin nodded. "Yes, ma'am. And the first thing?"
Sookie smiled wider. "I need you to find out the real reason why Inanna thought you'd enjoy this posting."

2023.05.30 18:50 cupcakesordeath Post Pandemic + Self Care

I'm in this really weird space right now and was curious if anyone out there has been in a similar rut.
During the pandemic, I was seeing this guy and so I was making more of an effort to keep up appearances. We stopped dating and I just stopped trying to impress anyone. I also work with an office full of guys so I don't really go out of my way to dress cute. I just try to blend in.
As a result, I just really haven't taken care of myself. I do skincare. But like stopped following makeup, haven't really shopped for new clothes, haven't gotten my nails done, etc. I finally went and got my hair cut last month instead of just rolling into a cheap salon and getting it trimmed.
I feel like a feral woman at this point, haha. I know I need to start making some kind of effort but I'm just struggling on why. I'm not interested in dating. My dog doesn't care what I wear. I don't know.
Is this my mid-life crisis?
Anyone out there hit a weird similar rut in their life?

2023.05.30 18:29 AndyBoyet Spruce up Zone 8

Spruce up Zone 8
Hi,
I am hoping to spruce up the landscaping in front of our house. We are in Zone 8 (Charleston, SC area) and face east. We transplanted the hollys in the back from the side of the house about 3 years ago. I was hoping that the middle one would have grown more to catch up with the other two in that time, but it hasn't. We threw in some hydrangeas and roses last year, but they arent doing well. Maybe they need more water? I am not a fan of the boxwoods and would like to replace them. However, I can't pull it all up and start over. I cant afford that right now. Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

2023.05.30 17:05 FloppingOnSunshine WIBTA to pay $5k to not shave my head

I (F36) got a severe case of Guillain Barre, a condition where a minor infection causes the immune system to attack the sheath around the nerves. My case was severe and I lost all strength in and control of my arms and legs. My face, arms, torso below the waist, and legs all feel like I put them to sleep and there is almost no feeling in those areas. I was in the hospital for 3 weeks. I required an ambulance to get me out of bed and appointments for 3 months.
I have very long hair (down to my butt). It’s always been very important to me. It makes me feel like me (which is super important when I have lost everything else. I have lost all ability to do things I am passionate about). Laying in a hospital bed is havoc on the hair. I asked my wife (43F) to brush it several times but it never happened (she’s done what I needed otherwise). It did hurt a bit as she knew how I feel about my hair. I asked the care staff at the hospital but they were too busy. By the time I got home my hair was in a horribly tangled braid. Pre-illness I could have gotten it free in a few hours but I couldn’t control my hands at all. At this point my wife made a half effort to untangle it but lacked the patience for it. She called a few stylists to see if someone could come to our house to work on it but no dice. Over the next 3 months lying in bed my hair transformed into a hard, matted baseball on top of my head. When I could get out a bit we tried a few local salons but they had no idea how to fix it. All suggested shaving it off. And that hurts my heart a lot. It would take 6 years to grow back.
This brings me to the issue: there is a salon 9 hours away that specializes in this issue. I have an appointment next week after an 8 week wait. The problem? They believe it will take 20 hours over 4 days to fix it. The appointments will cost $4000 and it’s another $600 at least for gas, hotel, food, and expenses. We are not rich in good times but my wife has had to quit working to be home to care for me. My medical supplies have increased spending (it takes forever to get Medicaid to cover supplies). That is a disgusting amount of money we could really use elsewhere. If i felt like this was my fault I wouldn’t even consider spending that money. I feel like my wife could have prevented this all by just brushing my hair. Or having a measure of patience to detangle it when I got home. Also, she clearly hates working on my hair and I will need someone to brush it (possibly forever). She’s the only option. I know being a caregiver is hard enough. I don’t want to be more of a burden. There is also the chance none of this works and I have to pay a lot of money and still lose it. I could live with a shaved head, no matter how hard it would be. Tomorrow morning is my last chance to cancel and get most of my deposits back. Would I be the asshole for spending all this money on my hair?

2023.05.30 17:05 ponds0404 Hair regrets..

Hair regrets..
First time poster to this sub, so excuse me if this isn’t the right spot for it. Just hoping someone out there can help.
Yesterday I went to a hair salon in Korea and I asked for a bit of a textured lob. I came in with grown out balayage (which I loved) and was looking for something more cohesive (Ie. Cleaner cut, gradient transition out of having to balayage. - mostly something professional looking for work.) I knew there would be no promises given that the top half of my hair was Virgin hair but bottom half was not, but I figured it was an opportunity to work with someone who would be very familiar with my hair type (I am Korean American.)
Initially the hair stylist recommended I dye over my hair with blue but there was a chance that my lighter strands might turn out sky blue (not an option for me, im here to try to look more professional.) We then chose brown to which the stylist agreed would meld the top and bottom contrast of my balayage better.
Instead my roots came out bright red (after pic part 2) and the dye only really holding there and not my bleached balayage areas. I was deeply upset once I saw my red roots, to which the stylist defensively replied “this is why I said we should go with the indigo/blue when we started.” I’m pretty furious because, while yes I understand color theory and how blue/purple will interact with my balayaged strands, as far as it’s impact to my virgin brown black roots - this is a moot point. Regardless, I shouldn’t have ended up with over processed red roots. I think he was rather under experienced. Further he told me “to achieve my desired hairstyle, I just needed to put my hair behind my ear to create a layered effect” (what??)
Part 2 of this is me dying it with drugstore ashy blue toner to combat the red. I feel like it kind of worked but still is quite red. I can’t tell if my hair is tired of this BS, if I need to leave it in longer, or try something different.
Anyone have advice to reduce redness? Or should I just dye it a black at this point? Will black even stick?

After getting a horrible haircut I left a review in Google maps, with a photo of the bad haircut. It has been viewed over 5000 times in a month, so I know the guy who cut my hair must have shared it somewhere. The salon is a little hole in the wall in the middle of nowhere, so no way has it had this many views on its own. How do I find out where it's been shared?
