I have a few white hairs coming in. I'd love to go all silver-white, like my maternal grandmother. Then maybe dye it fun anime colors, depending on where I'm working at the time.

Say, has anyone here tried "bling strands"? [link] A friend of mine calls it "fairy hair" and does her and her kids hair with it every now and again. It looks kinda fun.

BOTOX. I shall shoot myself up with BOTOX.

So far, I'm avoiding wrinkles, but I'm sure they'll pop up once I finish losing my weight. I've got the waddle in my neck that I really hope will be mostly gone by the end of next year, but I know that the skin will still be hanging there.

White hair? Check. My hands looking more like my mom's every day? check.

They closed schools here. There have been mudslides down near the Schuylkill. HPF is home, in my office, writing her own version of fanfic. I'm very pleased at this development.

Bizarre cooking question for the hivemind: if I'm making suet dumplings but I don't have any suet, would I be better off substituting beef tallow, goose fat, or shortening?

Tallow is closer (it's just rendered shelf-stable suet), but goose fat sounds yummier anyway.

I have zero white or gray hair. Seriously. It's starting to freak me out slightly. Like, is there a wig in the attic going silver? WTF? My bro is almost entirely gray at 35 and I have NONE. Maybe he got it all.

I started going gray in high school. There is some seriously wonderful hair in the family, but in my generation I think only Sox's sister got it.

I'm going salt-and-pepper all over, but I like the way it looks when my hair is short better than its former dark appearance.
