    Hi, me again looking for advice from random people :)

    What (if anything) can you do about co workers with disgusting personal hygiene?

    I work in a small office environment, 6 employees, no more than 4 people there at any one time, but we are often in very close proximity to one another

    - One person smells like animals have urinated on their clothing and personal possessions (we have mentioned it to her in a subtle way, saying something like "everyone check your stuff because something smells like animal urine") but she doesn't seem to realize it's her stuff

    - Two people have dirty smelling hair, from about 2 feet away I can smell it

    - Two of my co workers also have knock-out bad breath, which I am more tolerant to because I realize it could be a sign of disease, which they can't necessarily help (still hard to not recoil when they talk to you up close)

    Its kinda hard to not recoil from these smells and I don't want to hurt feelings, but I feel like they should know. I'd want to know if it was me, but how do you tactfully let them know is my question?

    Good Lord... where do you work?

    at a Bus Station?

    Haha,
    with some smelly people, in too close proximity for sure.

    I didn't mean to come off as crass, I understand.

    I work with one person who smokes; he smells like an ash tray.

    I laughed for real! :)

    I forgot to ask about the smoker smell...with coffee breath

    The tobacco smell is strong. If he walks in, I walk out.

    I wish I could do that sometimes, she walks in and comes over to chat with me. She's the person I get along best with at work too. I figure all I can do is to be supportive when on several occasions she has mentioned wanting to quit smoking.

    Under the stairs or in the shed, which is the best place to hide a large person shaped object?

    Between the studs and drywall of a family room remodel.


    ..... or so I've been told.

    Why did my breasts begin to sag so abruptly and dramatically? I've done an exhaustive investigation and can't come up with even one reasonable explanation. I thought it would be like the Stevie Nicks lyrics from the song The Edge of Seventeen "...the slow and graceful flow of age..." :grey_question:

    But Stevie says she approves of your breasts just the way they are.

    Under the stairs or in the shed, which is the best place to hide a large person shaped object?

    See if you are hiding a large person shaped object, sarcophagus/coffin/vampire/Greek statue, it would depend on if it needs to be temperature controlled. If you live in a colder climate the contents won't be affected much by temperature, if you live in a hotter climate (>25 degrees Celsius) then whatever is being stored and especially if it is organic then it will decompose faster so store item in which ever place has the colder temperature. If it isn't organic at all, just an inanimate non-organic matter person shaped object, keep that in the shed, use any space in the house for storage of more useful household items that you require to pull out more regularly. :) Best of luck in your hiding adventures.

    How can I become a better drawer?

    For example, I drew this cat:

    Sorry I missed this one, well if you are going for abstract you have that down, but if you are going for a more realistic approach then honestly keep practicing with proportions and just practice. No hard secret. Requires a ridiculous level of hard work and practice to be good at anything:) Good luck

    I like giving random advice too, should I? Only if they ask?
    I also love talking to random strangers, do you see any problems with this?

    You sound like my mother. She loves talking to random strangers and giving them advice

    I don't know why, but I love talking to random strangers, it always new and interesting.

    I only give advice to strangers if they ask me a question, then I answer them quite literally, I am a horrible liar and don't even bother trying usually. I if suspect my answer may be hurtful I do my best to be evasive in a truthful way.

    I consider myself very truthful and blunt, think Sheldon from Big Bang Theory except female ]

    Credibility.




    Gone.

    True he is a fictional character but I am not, and this is the internet I am not certified or pretending to have qualifications to give out advice I do it to fulfill my inner need to procrastinate with doing other things. I do not have the qualification to give out advice. But as for the character I always thought he was meant to be genuine, honest, and hard working but undoubtedly doesn't have a whole lot of exposure to the world and chooses to find peace in fantasy and fictional work. The rest of the silliness is probably not an accurate reflection of me but I have my moments in my superhero t-shirts too.:)

    Absolutely ask anyone else, all my advice is non existent on this subject, the only things I know about this is that the tesla is great so is lexus or audi I drive none of these, actually I rarely drive at all mostly I walk. If you are buying used make sure it is from a reputable source, and get it checked before purchasing. Buyer beware means all the responsibility is on you and very little you can do if you haven't done your homework on the seller.

    If Honda ONLY sold the Civic it would still be among the top 10 auto sellers in the world.

    Does that help answer your question?

    Civic for gas economy and maintenance.

    I recommend that if you are going on a trip in Europe enjoy the horseback riding for a bit, then take the train and see the rest of the land and adjacent countries. Find someone willing to get you coconuts, have a great night, and keep them as souvenirs. Plus after this trip you can put them on display and have a great story to tell later.

    Does the color of the Prius matter? Does one allow you to keep the man card where another ensures it being taken away and burned?

    I would drive a Prius in either red.
    Or white
    Or blue

    Because.... ' Murica!



    However, the windows would need to be tinted limo black.
