My deep personal issues.

I ran out of conditioner before I ran out of shampoo, and it really bothers me because it will take a long time to restore the ratio so that the bottles have the same amount of product in them.

I am equally disturbed by chip-to-dip ratios. Is there a formula for getting the right amount of dip for a set number of chips? If you get too much dip, then you have to go back for more chips. If you have too many chips, you don't want to eat the remainder with no dip after having yummy dip on the previous chips.

It's a wonder that I sleep at all...

I know....:confused:
FTLOG...just go BUY a new bottle of what ever is gone...it's not rocket science.
Or just buy TWO of each...fill the empty one to the amount that coordinates with the half empty one and they will always contain the same amount....:roll::roll::roll::roll:

New math...I don't get it.

The real kicker is that I don't care if I run completely out. I don't really care what kind I use. I don't remember if I actually washed my hair recently. But I can't stand looking up and seeing one almost-empty shampoo tube and one almost full conditioner tube. It's a visual thing.

I warned you in the title of the thread that these were deep issues...don't give me your quick-fixes, wenches! (And may I remind you that this is the lounge? This is not world peace...) To quote BB, :moon:

But you know what I don't understand at all? People who obsess over improperly sqeezed toothpaste tubes. I LIKE squeezing the middle because it feels good to squeeze the middle. Then I take the handle of the toothbrush and squish all the toothpaste out of the skinny end into the middle so that I can squish it again.

Like I said girlfriend...get extra bottles of each, and when one is out of sync...fill it to the proper level so they will look soothing to you again...:biggrin:
Your poor students do not need the wrath of a woman who has undergone an improper shampoo/conditioner alignment ;-)

It only bothers me when I'm at home. My attention span isn't that long.

NOW I get what you're saying, by the way. Mine comes in tubes (hard to refill) but maybe I could get some little decorative bottles...

You're a genius...:clap:

:yikes::idontno::yikes:

Do NOT squeeze the toothpaste tube in the middle or squish it sideways!!! Squeeze just what you need at the top, and then take the tube and press/run it down the edge of the counter top to squeeze it all up to the top and fold the flat part under the tube. Oh yeah, don't forget the cap before you do this!!!:lol:

Excellent idea...the brillo or SOS pad! Soap and exfoliation in one!

I actually have a little plastic thingy that goes on the toothpaste tube so it squeezes out every little bit. Great for those who squeeze the tube in the middle.:biggrin:

The squished tube, no....the schmutz on the counter behind the soap bottle...oh yeah....I gotta go scrub my own counters after seeing that. Thank goodness I hid my good bottle of booze, I need a drink!

I actually hate those things more, they're usually harder to use than doing the little finger ladder from the bottom of the tube to get it all up to the top.

Alkehall gets the schmutz right off the counter, or drink it and it takes the worry away.

  • I am not a milk drinker but when I do the milk HAS to be shaken before I pour it.
  • If I put a coke on ice the coke HAS to be cold before I do so. It just doesnt taste good to me then. I also HAVE to pour it so that I can tilt the glass sideways it stays good and carbonated. (Fountain drinks are different)

Most especially Viva Skim Delight; OH and just know that the EX date on the bottle REALLY means 4 days BEFORE:blink:


Don't forget rinsing OFF the gallon or half gallon upon returning from the grocery store:D

I don't like freshly brewed iced tea when it's still warm. Bleh.
