Once in a while I see an entry or a goal and think to myself, “that’s what I love about 43 Things”. That’s exactly what I thought when I saw one 43 Things user helping Joe find the perfect shampoo.

Joe:

It’s hard to test shampoos, beacause once you buy one you’re stuck with it for 6 months or so.

I’m looking for a shampoo (and a conditioner?) that controls dandruff, keeps my hair from getting really oily for 2-3 days, keeps it from getting poofy, and makes my head smell good.

Anyone have any suggestions? I have thick hair (“jew-fro”) that gets oily quick and a scalp that tends to flake.

Jillz created this goal. I’m joining in hopes of finding how to best apply money and support.

Today we have the pleasure of highlighting the 10,000th person to create an account on 43 Places: thensheknew. She hails from aptly-named Gloversville, New York and would like to visit Chicago, Colorado, London, and Italy. She prefers the beaches of Cape Cod to the polluted creeks of her hometown, which we totally understand.

Finally … someone actually going on a roadtrip with no predetermined destination and they’re willing to report back. Let’s see what redheadDC has to say after this weekend. I want stories and pictures!

“the journey begins“, an entry by
redheadDC:

tomorrow. At which point I hope to have enough $ to eat as much greasy diner food as I can bear as I meander through S. Jersey with the wonderful boy in tow. I have tank tops and baggy pants for the road- and a new faux tan thanks to Jergens Gentle Glow. Who said fake isn’t beautiful? Not this girl.

It’s now almost 2 am and I absolutely must go to bed or crawling to the office in the morning to wrap up a mini-project or two before the Honda pulls up front will be an impossible journey. Also, must remember to make a mix CD or five for the road in the a.m. Ben has a CD burner but no idea how to use it. And I have a jillion music files waiting to bless the road ahead. I promise a recap on my return. Send positive road karma our way, angels of the highway!

People who want to go to Dildo also want to go to Intercourse, Pennsylvania. Hmm…

I like scazza’s story about the best pizza she ever had. It’s less about pizza (only 1 of 6 sentences mentions pizza) and more about Bari and the delightful details of travel. The end result: I want to go to Bari and eat “the milkiest, most amazing pizza of which I have never tasted the like”.

“The best pizza I have ever had“, an entry by
scazza:

Here is where I took the ferry to Dubrovnik. Slept on the deck, my baggage intertwined with my body, under a plastic table. The old city is amazing (the new city is crap). Saint Nick is buried there; it is a city of stone, narrow alleyways, arches, coves with shrines to Jesus and Mary full of candles and color in the shadows. I walked past a woman making fresh orichiette. There is also a pizza place there with the milkiest, most amazing pizza of which I have never tasted the like. I drank tequila there on the plaza—simply a magical place.

Sam Chupp, who among 26 other things wants to go to a poetry slam, start his own religious movement, and learn to bake yeast rolls, is the 50,000th person to sign up for 43 Things. Yay, Sam!
