I can’t get past the name. It is supposed to be pronounced Wall-e-Gro Or Wally-Gro? Like Where’s Wally? Or You’re such a wally.

Ok. So, are wallabies as cool as I imagine, or are they more just a pain in the ass. Same question for wombats.

Oh a Wally isn’t a wallaby. It’s more someone who is an idiot.

But wallabies are cool. Like smaller cuter shy kangaroos.

Yeah, wallabies are adorable.

I suspect wombats to be assholes but in that beloved grumpy uncle kind of way. We don’t have 'em here.

It’s so frivolous, but I really wish I could shell out a bunch of money for permanent hair removal so I can stop fighting with my chin. I admit it is driven by vanity, but also it’s more than just normal middle-aged random chin hairs and I hate it.

Chin hairs drive me insane. I want them to die. Solidarity, friend.

Thanks. Mine are…special. I would post a pic of what I mean, but it might literally be the worst picture ever taken of me. It would scare small children.

The women in my family can grow goatees by the time they are 40. I’m actively planning on Lazer hair removal once plucking doesn’t cut it or is too arduous.

For the moment I use my dad’s old electric shaver that he gave me when I was sick. Back then I actually had a 5 o’clock shadow by 5:00. Now it takes a few days…and I don’t give it a few days!

Now that would have been an interesting experiment during lockdown! Except that I’m an essential worker so people actually have to look at me. A goatee!

a microwave. I have been eating cold leftovers for 4 weeks and I just want the ability to warm food up in under 2 min without dirtying a pot.

Clean dishes.

Technically I could accomplish this by washing the dishes currently in my sink, but I don’t wanna.

I suspect I’ll be wanting clean laundry soon too. I have a feeling that this is going to be an exceedingly unproductive weekend.

I went looking and this appears to be the closest match to your model that we can get here.

Clean everything. Armpits, hair, laundry, dishes, baby, diapers

When I was in university with toddlers I reached a breaking point at exam time and threw all my dishes in a garbage bag and put it in the shed, and bought replacements at the thrift store for a nickel each. When they got dirty I did the same thing again. When exams were over and I was on the semester break I washed alllll the dishes and donated 75% of them to the thrift store.

Totally worth it.

So…I want a robe that I can run around the house in before and after I shower. I have a robe but it is a winter-time robe. Very fuzzy and way too warm.

I would like to get a robe. The one I want is of course way too much ($125) - if I wasn’t going to quite possibly end up bleaching it while applying skin medications to my back, maybe I could justify it. However, I probably will bleach it so it is not ideal.

But…for $20 I can get this robe. Should I do it?

I just got one that same color but all solid on sale for $20 and I’m so happy I did

I also only had a winter robe

And previously in summer just went naked

But I don’t think my 24 yr old tenant would be cool with that

ETA this was definitely a pandemic spending purchase but also something I’ve actively wanted for years and was hoping my mom would randomly send me one haha
