I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

You also might try Lush's Retread conditioner. The smell is a trip, but my hair likes it a lot.

My hair is below shoulder length right now and I am thinking a lot about going back to the pixie. I love the ease of super-short hair, but I worry that I look kind of mannish.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I didn't understand the hair panic until I went to get my hair cut for basic training. Yeah, it'll grow back, and it's not rational, and it wasn't like I was in love with my hair.

Then, after I got sick of my hair flopping into my eyes during PT, I got a pixie cut and was in love. And the next time I was due a haircut, there wasn't a salon, and so went to the barber and got a high-and-tight, and while it was unflattering, I was deliriously happy over the extra minutes I was able to sleep because showering was shorter and I didn't even need to brush my hair, let alone do it up/style it. And otherwise, I would have needed to wear a hairnet for airborne school. I did shoulder-length eventually, opting for pigtail braids that I could pin up, but work ended up showing that long hair led to branches snagging shit out of place and went back to short.

Hey other parents - is Care.com a scam or is it worth the membership price? I put up a free ad for an after-school sitter, just on a whim, but of course you have to pay in order to contact any of the sitters who respond. And I've gotten a TON of responses, some of which seem very good on paper. But I don't know if I want to plunk down $40 on this.

Has anyone posted on Craigslist for an apartment? As in: I'm looking for an apartment, here are my specific requirements? And had it be successful?

Jessica, I've heard good things about Care.com here in regards to senior care.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I like my pixie, but I've been thinking of moving back to a short bob. The transition's annoying, though.

I'm pretty happy with my hair these days. I had it super short for a few years, post divorce. Now it ranges between chin length and shoulder length, slight reverse A-line. My most recent color took it a lot darker than I was expecting, but I really like it. It isn't black, just dark, dark brown. With purple highlights. Kept those.

I like my hair but not enough to share it twice.

So, ummmm, I'm home alone, bored on a Friday night.
