ION, I have realized that I am freelancing, and I don't have to color my hair a more subdued red anymore.

I feel well enough today to go and get my brows waxed (it's been 3 MONTHS!! At least! THE HORROR!) and I am going to stop by Sally's and get the stuff to concoct a hot blazing red.

If Plei is around in the next hour or so, any tips on combos of dye for a good, hot red? It's been a while since I've used a corporate-approved Feria kit, so I'm looked for combos. I'm thinking Felicia Day red.

Taz~ma, Nora! We didn't make the 2nd line either. I went to brunch at Bill's house which was much fun - there was karaoke where enthusiasm was valued over quality, and we all sang together and played percussion. I took the lead on "Don't Stop Believin'," and didn't do too badly. Plus, spent some time talking to Bill and a environmental lawyer/solar contractor - got more good ideas on people to contact and places to look for work.

WS, I would say take it easy and maybe take some ibuprofen or something. If the neck contines to hurt, you may want to visit a chiropractor to make sure nothing's out of alignment.

Laga, I think that was bonny asking about the soup, but it sounds yum.

Site is not in English, but look! A manicure that puts words on your fingernails! Tell me this isn't for Buffistae: [link]

OMFG, Glam! Am growing out nails RIGHT NOW so I can do this! Brilliant!

good grief. how the heck are you doing?

Mostly just stiff and sore. I don't really think I will need to see a chiropractor or anything, but if it doesn't ease up in a timely fashion, I do want it taken care of. Thanks everybody.

I liked the Wella stuff. Of course, I haven't used chemical dyes for four years, so I gots nothing.

I have gotten a bright red from Garnier Nutrisse, not sure if they have one as bright as FD.

Andi, take care of yourself, sweetie!

Take care of yourself, WS.

I am waiting for Jilli to do it first so I can get tips. Then I'm going to use Zoya's Marley and maybe early Anne Rice and call it "Ghost in the Snow" mani.

WS - any blow to the face could easily cause you to jerk your head hard enough to cause whiplash. Ice/heat- whichever feels good. I also found that whenever my neck muscles act up small, constant movement helps a LOT. Think tiny bobble head. It keeps the muscles engaged so they spazm less. Not as good as a tens unit, but heckuvalot better than the burning agony i get when trying to keep it immobile.
