Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.

Totally! It's the only explanation I can think of.
Plus, literary.
One of my uncles and both his daughters started going gray in their twenties. My uncle now has white hair. My cousins dye theirs.
I do not have gray hair or very many wrinkles. Although I'm getting creases from my shoulders in a v along my chest. I don't remember when my parents started going gray but I have great genetics when it comes to wrinkles and aging. I can still pass for being my mid twenties.
There should be a word for when you do something that's totally awesome but also a really bad idea.
I'm sure the Germans have a word for it!
zuisa, are you a brunette trying for a brighter, more intense red? Try going to a Sally's and getting a hair dye aimed at African-American hair. I've been really pleased at the results on my white-bread, mousy brunette head.
And I am not appalled by the silver in my hair; I just like it to be red. I may say fuck it when I cam 70 or so, but my natural color is mouse, so...dye, baby, die.
What grays I can see when I'm rooty are my pat. grandma's lovely silvery silver, so that's cool. But I don't have enough, so if I went au natural now, I'd be silvery-mouse.
No, thanks.
