Maybe they'll accept "whatever" or "your guess is as good as mine".
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

vw, you're lucky you're in a city with a passport agency. You should be able to apply in person for a new one. Of course that probably sounds a lot easier than it is.
Not hard, but you have to be leaving the country imminently - like within the month - to apply in person. You'll need a plane ticket or some such to show the need.

My natural color is "You don't want to see that color. Really."

Actually, it's within 14 days. So, yeah, I'll just go to the post office. I called the Passport Office, and got more info. I'm golden. Thanks!

My mother had been coloring her hair for years, to the extent no one had seen anything resembling the natural color for a long time. She finally - in her 60s - ended up with a pale yellow, about the color of a baby chick, when my sister and I persuaded her to stop the coloring. It turned out it was a very nice gray ... and when she stopped coloring it, it ended up being thicker and much healthier. Of course, she's always perferred going to the kind of "hairdresser" who lurks in suburban strip malls, so it's not that surprising.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
SuziQ, how cool! How was the show from backstage?

I had a friend in college that didn't know what her natural hair color was. She'd been dying since she was 13. She said it was changing color (getting darker), so she started dying it back to its original blond, and hadn't stopped since. Of course, by college she's moved on to more esoteric colors, but she still wasn't sure what it would be if she let it grow.

vw, thanks for reminding me that I need to renew my passport! It expired in April and I completely forgot about it until just now.
I guess it's just as well I didn't try to go to Canada this year.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I finally got my passport back after the full twelve weeks they said it would take.

Can't she just, well, look down? Unless she's coloring bottoms to match tops.
