When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

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

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Totally! It's the only explanation I can think of.

Plus, literary.

Thrive to spite them

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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Looking at what I have, the tallow doesn't look that appetizing, and elsewhere the cookbook says frozen butter is an acceptable substitute for suet, so I think I will go with frozen goose fat.

Thanks!

not your mom's socks.

Ok, I'm not getting anything done now. Mainly laughing because someone over here has programmed her Oregon Trail family for three kids: Harry, Hermoine, and Ron. Eagle Expelliarmus!
