I live in a tiny college dorm room where the heat is almost always on ungodly high. When it's not, it's ridiculously hot outside (I live in Wisconsin, it's either really really hot or really really cold out). Naturally, my room has a tendency to stink like my/whoever chills...

Ok. Deodorant. So, I don't want aluminum in my body, that stuff's not good. I've used Toms, but no good. I think I'm allergic to the zinc ricinoleate or the hops (I hope not for beer's sake!) Whenever I use it, my armpits start to peel, which is DEFINITELY NOT a pleasant...

Hi everyone, I have a whole bunch of old cassettes I used to listen to as a child - lots of fairy stories & that sort of thing! They are taking up more space than i'd like, and although I don't use them, I can't bear to part with them! Too many memories of listening to them...
