Lip balm can also work, especially if it’s right near the bottom.
I do the same and uh. It’s not very elegant but I just stick it on my finger and smear it around. A qtip sounds more civilized…
It is very effective and stops me from having constant nosebleeds so it’s worth the indignity of feeling like I am picking my nose.

I’m partial to Badger Balm…either the stuff for cracked skin, or just the cocoa butter lip balm. I use it on Everything.

Definitely way up in there 
so any time I make a facial expression it pulls and hurts. Thumbs down.

Oh, also:
Make a mug of boiling water. Hold it under your nose and inhale. Sit like that for a while. Annoying but also effective.
Similarly, soak a washcloth in nearly boiling water, lay it under your nose once it’s no longer dangerous hot. Inhale.

All the badger balms, vaseline, chapstick. Yes. And humidity in the air

I bought special nasal gel for this purpose (it’s called “NasoGel”). I’m pretty sure it’s just paying extra for Vaseline that comes with a special applicator to shove up your nose.
The instructions point out that it is not for sharing with other people. So maybe you’re paying for the bonus LOL?

I just tried an armpit detox recently before switching away from Lume deodorant. Lume was the most expensive deodorant I’ve ever used, and it worked okay at first but then about a month in I stopped making it through a single day, much less the 36 hours that were promised! I am definitely less stinky after the detox and new deodorant. I’m currently using Kiss My Face roll on deodorant (lavender). They do offer an unscented version, but I haven’t tried it.

Because I am prone to BO I have started spraying the underarm area of clothing with a heavy dose of 50/50 vinegar water before putting the item in the hamper. This seems ensure that no stinkies remain after washing, so I wonder if it is doing something to prevent the buildup of soaps and deodorants and body residue? I don’t know if the science supports this, or if it’s in my head. We do also typically add vinegar to our wash.

I would think it’s most likely inhibiting bacteria from continuing to grow, since vinegar is acidic. But that’s just a guess! Do you find it bleaches out any colors?

Are short series ok? If yes, I recommend Paranormal, set in Egypt.

Should I pay for more Google Drive storage to back up the shitload of files that are on an old laptop and also 2 huge size-of-a-brick external drives, that I want to get rid of? Or just buy a smaller external drive? Surely they’re no longer this huge? One of them’s at least 15 years old, and full.

$50 or less will get you a 1 TB hard drive that’s still decently slim.

You can cheaply get an external drive that’s about the size of four or five credit cards stacked together.

So what is wrong with Facebook marketplace? Remember my navy dress “wedding dress” debacle? Well now I’m listing a sewing pattern and even though I’m selecting sewing pattern it’s getting tagged as “sewing machine”. And I try to edit the listing and it will not correct itself. When I am selecting a category it says “no, you can’t use that category” in a roundabout way, because when I create the listing it all looks as if it should post correctly. A second sewing pattern listing I made went through seamlessly.
Edited to remove needless profanity but it’s super frustrating that it’s such a hassle and I’m literally trying to sell these for $3 because I’m pathetic. Why is this so nonfunctional?
EDIT AGAIN: the other pattern got listed as a “Halloween costume” which it definitely is not. I am. distraught. 
EDITED TO INCLUDE CONSPIRACY: because the dress and the sewing patterns both involve “women’s” fashions… is this a tech algorithms are misogynistic thing? Like. Humans have only been wearing clothes for millenia. Seems like a basic function.

Basically I’m gathering you should not use the text box to write your own item description at all. Because I also just tried to list a book and wrote “slight imperfections in dust jacket”. It’s also a biography of a fashion designer so I said that. Then it gets categorized in “apparel”. This is hopeless I swear. I should just put in the effort to get an ebay storefront going.
