Actually, careful with that. DVD players usually have switching regulators, not linear ones. They can add a ton of noise into audio stuff like a pedal.

Disagree with the turf love. It might save time, but it kills the soil and doesn't support any life. A messy garden is still better than a fake one, lol.

Yeah the protein filler thing works until it doesn't. I read on a hair forum that too much protein can actually make your hair stiff and then it snaps off. Makes sense why her hair got dry and brittle, like it was overloaded.

Honestly, the simple thing is probably too much sugar or your baking soda is dead. I had the same flat sheet issue for years. I was accidentally using an extra quarter cup of white sugar because my measuring cup was off. Try cutting the white sugar by two tablespoons and make sure your brown sugar is packed tight. Also, test your baking soda with a drop of vinegar. If it doesn't fizz right away, that's your whole problem. Fresh soda gives them the right lift instead of just melting out.
