I DID NOT KNOW

Mine is just about 1.5" above shoulder length, and since I have the remainder of a perm in my hair, it does that neat thing where it kind of curls and looks touseled, so I don't have to do much with it.

I'm actually thinking of going for broke and going short.. I want the wedge/angeled thing, but my hair is not straight, and it may be way too thick for that kind of thing..Anyway, I said I would not have short hair until I turn 40! :lol:

Who here has gray hair? I got brave and let my true hair color come through, just to see if I would get that really pretty shade of gray (the kind that is actually white)? I have a friend whose hair is that color, and I just love it. Anyway, no such luck. Mine is the wiry, dirty-looking gray, so guess I'll be going back to coloring. Does anybody know why some people get the white-gray and others get the other kind? Maybe it's just in the genes.

Thankfully I have no gray yet. It's odd, because my Mom started touching up her gray by the time she was in her mid-twenties.

What gets me is the wrinkles! I spend a fortune in creams and sruff, and I'm still starting to get crow's feet. My gosh, I'm only 33, why is this happening to me?

I don't really have the wrinkles yet (and I'm 49 and holding), and I shouldn't have the gray hair. I mean my mom died at 63 with the number of gray hairs you can count on one hand. I guess I get it from my dad. He was completely gray by the time he was 30. Not fair!

Finsfan, I've wanted a short cut for a long time. But I have gone to different stylist who REFUSE to cut it short or even jud above my shoulders, they tell me I will regret it, but I say it will grow back. Maybe they sense my aprehension when I request a shorter style.

Steelers - maybe one day you'll find a stylist who will go for broke and cut it the way you want - like you say, it will grow back! I cut mine VERY short once, and regretted it, but my hair grows fast, so I only had to hate it for about a month. :lol:

dbaker - I have gray in the front, in my bangs. It started during 2001 and hasn't stopped since. Coincidentally, the same year my husband left for someone he worked with, I had three major surgeries, and the year of 9/11. (He left between surgeries 2 & 3, and his leaving, my 31st birthday and 9/11 all occurred within 3 days of each other.) Think stress might have had something to do with it? Nahhhhhh. :lol:

Maybe stress does play a part in it. But why should I be stressed? The fact that I have 3 teenage boys at home wouldn't do it, would it?!

Nope, probably not! LOL

It's just funny, though, to see how that stuff affects our HAIR....of all things!

Grey hair is caused when the follicles quit making pigment....I used to do hair.. :)

Oh great, so now even my follicles are getting old and dying off? Thanks a lot Jessi! :lol: :lol:

It's all a ploy of the Man.

that and high heels and pantyhose. I think any man who thinks women look sexy in those should be made to wear them for an 8-hr workday. :twisted:

I actually LIKE to wear high heels...I rarely wear anything else. :) I do agree however that pantyhose are of the devil.

And your follicles aren't dead, they just don't make pigment anymore....When they die, you go bald.

Ummmmmmmmm.......

Ummmm what, Jeff? :)

LOL! :lol: jeff is speechless (for once) LOL

I'm like you Jessi, I wear high heels with just about everything. I'm more comfortable in them than I am in a pair of tennis shoes or flats.

Oh, I wear them, Steelers, I just don't like them! LOL

I have contracted leg muscles anyway, and it's harder for me to wear flat shoes, since i can't get my heels down far enough..So I'm more comfortable in high heels. Plus they make my legs look sexy. ;-)

I could get my muscles fixed, but they'd have to the back of my legs and I'd have stupid looking scars. Heck with THAT!

Just "ummm'ing" on the high heel comment from suebee.

Hey, I'm shorter than short, so I WEAR heels to work quite often...just don't like them. Wanna take me up on that challenge, jeff? Wear them and pantyhose for an 8-hr day?

I think some of us might even PAY to see that! :lol:

I'm shorter than shorter than short, and I just bought my very first pair of heels..I got a pair of thigh high black boots..I love them, because they obviously make me taller (I'm like 5'3 with them on!) And my posture is incredible. I like my clothing a little on the tight side, (NOT trashy) and it really looks streamlined.

Steelers, I meant to ask you..How's that van restoration project going?

well, I don't have any takers! I'll do more than send a thank you card, I will put your picture on the side of the van!

That would be cute! Let me talk to my husband about that..

I'll pm you all the details Finsfan! 8)

Great!! Thanks! :lol:

Steelers, do you know anything about Venus Flytraps? I got my boy one, and it won't eat the hamburger I've been trying to feed it..

Hey Finsfan, I was doing some spring cleaning. And I was cleaning out the back of my cubbards. QUESTION: How long do twinkies last, and do they have an expiration date? I'm asking because I found a box of Twinkies that somehow fell to the way back of my cubbard and I think I bought them 4 years ago! I'm going to open one up now and see what happens, what do you think?

I think you should consider deep frying it before you eat it..Who knows what all that nasty crap can do to you if it gets stale..

I'm brave here it goes................I don't know anything about venus fly traps , sorry. I've seen them at the nursery though!

Steelers, what kind of a woman do you think would be on that show "Trading Spouses"? She'd have to already scream at her kids, right? They are all extremely overweight and unhappy with themselves..

Not me! She would probably also have bad teeth! Not me, I'm eating my 4 year old twinkies in my high heels after a night of tanning in my new Levi's I bought in the junior's section today.

LMFAO!!! My new Juniors' pants are Calvin Kleins..I love the way they fit! I will never ever be able to thank you enough..The next 3 boxes of Hostess are on me, bud!

I have some malt liquor to go with that, doesn't that sound yummy?

Unfortunately (this is true), I am allergic to any kind of alcohol. So could you make that a 12 pack of Pepsi? And you are welcome for the suggestion, I'm just trying to help wherever I can. It's what I do. I love fashion.

Hey, how's the Twinkie?

Pepsi is fine. I guess I'll give the Malt liquor to my flytrap..

So far so good with the twinkie, it was still moist! I'm washing it down with a couple of Pepsis just to play it safe.

I had a big 'ol steak for dinner, along with mashed potatoes and gravy and corn. I was hungry, unfortunately my tummy hurts now, since I overate. Oh well. I'll feel better tomorrow, no biggee.

For the record suebee, Jessi, fins and the rest - I do know what it is like to wear hose, but not high heels.


And I will just leave that dangling and let the shock and awe commence.

Jedi - I think that that is JUST A LITTLE TOO MUCH INFO for me!

Jeff, i assume you're refusing to the hose you wore with that cute little tutu you have?

oops, that was supposed to be referring, not refusing!

ack...bad mental image there....lemme go poke out my mind's eye....

:lol:

Jeff..You are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo HOT!!!!

Jeff told me that he wears panty hose every day. Control top, sandaltoe..He likes the way the control top squishes in his belly.

I'm guessing Silky Beige is Jeff's color. Do you recommend the total body shaping, or just the control-top, Jeff?
