You may have to be socially distant, but you don't have to be socially dowdy!

And there are actual web pages that talk about exactly this topic. That just boggles my mind, as I don't wear makeup.

I still think a line of makeup touted to restore youthful appearance, called "Makeup for Lost Time," would do well.

Well, no, actually. Because I'm pretty sure every single makeup product is advertised as changing time: making you look older if you are a preteen or teenager, and making you look more youthful if you are anywhere over 25.

Yes, that's one way to put it. And it's ridiculous to make every woman try to maintain such an unrealistic ideal.

The indicators of peak fertility are also indicators of good health. Shiny hair, good teeth, blemish-free skin, and a 0.7 waist to hip ratio.

In retrospect, we probably shouldn't have funded that Chinese Murder-Insect Research Facility in Wuhan.

Or one in a volatile relationship, called "Makeup or Breakup."

On Saturday I had to go back through a bunch of old emails to find a couple of documents.  In my search I came across a bunch of my last correspondence with RealWest.

It was sort of depressing.

Yes, I imagine it was. Is it any wonder that the elderly tend to get depressed, thinking of all the friends and loved ones that have gone ahead?

RealWest helped recruit C2ers in its infancy, iirc.

The card I sent when he was in the hospital was returned undeliverable by the hospital.  

He missed getting it. It hurt that I was too late.
