One revolves around vanity.

The other life and death and is conducted by a qualified medical practitioner.

Not even remotely associated.

Just be thankful I didn't mention the women choosing to get a good old fashioned anal bleaching or the vulva shortened.

Honestly though some of you seriously need to lighten up and get a sense of humour.

Freaks the lot of you.

huh? how can you compare the two?

and just for info, a pap smear is way less painful than waxing, and i only do my eyebrows! i just cant imagine stripping off and saying wax it all! besides, pubes are like clothes! just trim to a yves saint loren style!!

A prostate exam isn't painful but it's invasive, like a pap smear, and neither are exactly vanity based.

After two solid days of paperwork I cranked up google home full blast and did karaoke housework, the place was shining by the time everyone got home. I even sorted the rubbish, and packed up all the packing foam stuff from the printer and various presents. Who invented that shit? You know the big solid white squeaky stuff, god o loathe it it hurts my teeth just thinking about it. So then the eldest comes home after a few days at the BF, with a new desk. Flat packed. You’d reckon she’d get the stuff out the old one first. I get out the pool and there is a massive box all ripped up and more $£$%^%%$ foamy stuff all over my nice clean vacuumed front room! I go upstairs and there’s her old desk, in bits, big bits, and desk crap from arse hole to breakfast all over my nice clean freshly vacuumed lounge room! And her and the BF are happily sitting side by side at the new one, playing some fancy PC game, 2 screens going, lights flashing everywhere totally oblivious to the hurricane around them. Tomorrow, they can fix it tomorrow. At least the whole family is home!

Oh and the google thing? If it’s spying on me, my off key karaoke will scare them off, even the postie looked shocked at my rendition of I can’t livvvvvveeee if livinnng is withooouuutttt youuuu! I love that thing!

The white foamy shit, not so much, cheers, why am I wide awake?

Expandable polystyrene (for ‘tis the name of the evil white stuff) is a bloody menace. It explodes into a thousand small pieces that run away from any cleaning device but stick to carpet like the proverbial to a blanket, and when rubbed against paper it makes my skin crawl. Even if maintained in one piece it takes up an unbelievable amount of awkward, incompressible space in the rubbish. It’s like a Dr Who villain.

Ah, so evil has a name, Thankyou!
And with that name I’m guessing it’s not very environmentally friendly. Surely there’s a better way!

Fair to say it’s not an environmental triumph, made from crude oil via ethylene, but, well, it ensures that most stuff gets to you in one piece, which saves waste, it’s fairly efficient to make and transport at scale, unlike wood, and it’s not much more than weightless, which means lower transport costs, so who knows ? It may go back to landfill but then, crude oil was already toxic landfill when it started. Life’s complicated like that.

Huh? Women aren't crazy to get pap smears (or men to get prostate checks) it's actually for a legitimate health reason Shocked

Waxing on the other hand, might seem crazy to some but to others, it's much cleaner & fresher. Screw the embarrassment, they've seen it all before Razz

Surely you don’t think I was arguing otherwise! Surprised My point is that it’s not actually that abnormal for us, at various points in our lives, to have our nether regions examined by strangers – and that it’s perhaps weirder to be squeamish about the idea. Why would it be weirder for a doctor to look at your vulva than a Brazilian waxing specialist? (That’s a question for Swoop, not you, LD. Smile)

Ha, fair point!

Ah, right! I read it so many times & was thinking surely he's not saying women are crazy for getting pap smears?? I know your ideas can sometimes be a little 'out there' but this one had me stumped. Now when you explain it like that I follow.

And you're right, there really is no difference, I've had mine looked at so many times by so many different people (in a professional sense I'm talking about) I couldn't care less any more.

What I do always find weird is when the doctor pulls the curtain while you take your knickers off so he/she can't see, or the waxer leaving the room while you take it all off.... ummm, you do know you're about to see a lot more than bare legs & bum don't you? Laughing

Of course it's weirder.

A doctor only does it for a medical purpose and has completed a university medical degree.

The other is just some random 20yo in a shop who has done some short course.

The actual act of waxing your vagina and anus doesn't make you a freak.

Paying someone do it does though. Laughing

had a quick look at some jobs on line this arvo, prompted by an email from Seek.

Couple took my interest, but I'm in 2 minds. On one hand I've got stuff to do and I'm not sure I'm ready for the suit and office again yet, on the other hand, they're both good opportunities. One is a part time role on good coin, the other a 12 month mat leave relief. Both are attractive and I know the longer I leave it the harder it will be, opportunities like these don't come up every day.

Got some thinking to do over the weekend.
