Omnis, break out your "Eagles (and anyone playing against Dallas) Fan" sweatshirt. You know you have one!!
Cashmere, I am sorry about your sister and I truly hope this isn't a miscarriage.
She's not just a blob of energy, she's also a 14-year-old hormone bomb.

[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.

{{Cash and sister}} It's good of you to listen to her even while she is driving you both crazy. I hope this goes better for her than she fears.

Trust my rage
Cash, as someone who has been through the miscarriage thing a few times, I'm not sure there is anything you can say/do. Other than listen, I suppose, which is not easy. When I was waiting to know what was happening with my first miscarriage, I was completely consumed by it and wanting to know what was happening. I eventually found a place on the babycenter pregnancy loss boards, which is actually what brought me online. I don't know how much time she spends online but I really found my group to be hugely helpful, plus they were always willing to listen when other people were just tired of hearing me go on and on about it.
Having said that, yes, sometimes there is lots of spotting in pregnancies that end with healthy babies. I think a faint HPT is likely not a good sign, but there's no way to know until you do.
Wow - typing all that took me way back. I am so glad I have the two wonderful children I have now.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My sister had three miscarriages before she had her first child. I cannot even imagine what it must be like to go through that.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Thanks, everyone.
And Stephanie, thanks for your insight. I realize how ineffective words can be and I just have to be there for her no matter what happens.

Jessica, I can't think of one that sells both off of the top of my head. Maybe the Sally Beauty Supply website?

That was my first guess too, but they only sell Manic Panic and Color Jamz.

I've gotten Special Effects off Amazon before.

Omnis, yes, it's probably not on to wear an opposing team's jersey (even if they are not the team your team is playing against that day).
I think for general potlucks, it somewhat depends on what I brought, how much is left, what the container is, etc etc, as to whether I end up taking it home with me. I wouldn't general expect the host to offer me leftovers. Thanksgiving would be the exception, though--since I feel like Thanksgiving is a holiday all about excess food, and leftovers. I would generally want there to be leftovers, and want to bring home a plate of them. :)
