{{Shir}}, partly just because, and partly because you are being nibbled to death by ducks. I don't know if yo have seen the phrase around here before , but we use it to describe the situation you are in now. Lots of annoying things, lots of streessors and not much under you control. Take care of yourself as best you can
Spike: You pissed in the Big Man's Chair? That's fantastic! Gunn: Spike, can you please turn off that warm fuzzy? Spike: What, the Lorne thing? Worn off. I just think that's bloody fabulous.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Awww, beth. Thank you (and omnis. And everyone who virtually hugged me.)

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Shir, your friend was a beautiful and talented young woman - the world's loss is great, because there simply are not enough of those around.

Glam, that is indeed of the suck. Hope you're comfortably at home, with internets, soon.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
What do you hair experts think? It's really curly; will it end up TOO short? Will I look like a tiny head on a huge body?
I can send you pics of some short curly styles if you like. It was the dominant look of the mid-fifties so there are lots of glamorous shots to consider. Like, Ava Gardner.
Even Jane Russell went short in the mid fifties.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Oh yes, there will be pictures.
Glam and beth, hope your days improve from here, and quickly.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Shir, I'm sorry for the loss of your friend.

What is too short ZenKitty?
Uh, I'm not sure. It hasn't been really short since I was a little kid. I'm depending on the hairdresser to have a better idea of how short to go, and:
Do You have a hairdresser you trust?
Alas, no. I've had one good haircut since I moved here, at a Haircuttery of all places. I haven't found a good salon.
How much do you identify with you hair
A lot. More than I should, really; it's just hair, as my bald niece reminds me.
You could go in stages, but I'd go for it. the worse that happens, you hate your hair for awhile, and it sounds like that right now.
I think you're right. I hate it *now*, what the hell, right?

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Fry's Electronics is an evil store. I went in wanting a video quad viewer. I walked out with a package of 4 wireless cameras with recievers AND quad viewer! It was only an extra $100!
Also, fry's doesn't carry a hard drive under 500 gig, or jump drive under 2GB. Hard drive, not a big deal. Jump drive. The mixer only reads 1 gb or smaller.

Oh, I was hoping you would! But I don't think I have enough volume on top to do either Gardner's or Russell's styles. I had something "messier" in mind, too, because styling is not something I do. Wash, condition, rub in some product that doesn't work anyway, and let it dry. That's my routine. I have sausage ringlets in the back, curly but less so over the rest of my scalp. I'm hoping if I just cut it all, like, 5 inches long, it'll sort itself out.
