I have rather nice grey, and some odd blonde streaks. I'm OK with that.

edit: I'm not OK with the thinning, but I'm too lazy to do anything about that. Though I have changed the part in my hair. Yes, I'm doing a combover.

I think "Wake up and smell the roses" could be intended to mean, "Your house will smell awesome from the minute you wake up, and all goddamn day long." But it's still kind of dumb.

But the whole thing is "People don't say wake up and [other sensory verbs] the roses, they say wake up and smell the roses". Probably some other stuff after that but I was too distracted by the wrongness. It's bothering me. Don Draper wouldn't sign off on that. I hope.

Not that I've ever bought any Glade product. I might if they made something that really truly smelled like brewing coffee, because I do like to stop and smell the coffee, as it happens.

Yay for pretty gray hair! I don't have much yet, but the strands I have are kind of sparkly, which pleases me greatly.

My father went grey localised, my mother went salt and pepper sprinkled all over. I had used to want streaks, but you have to have hair for that. I desperately hope I get sprinkled all over. Please please please. I would dye to compensate for that, or just shave shorter. Something.

Did you guys (read: Hec) see Felicia Day's new haircut? She looks fab.

So cute! I love her with short and I didn't think she'd ever go back after she talked about getting it cut post-Buffy and not working for nine months.

I guess when you are your own mogul you get to call the shots with your hairdo.

I knew I had grey temples, but a dressing room mirror recently showed me that it is far more sprinkled than I realized. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Mogul is a strong word for fandom darling who's unknown by many and has a healthy backlash among a decent %age. I like her, but that's kinda overstating her niche.

The Walgreens shingles shingle says 98% of Americans have had chicken pox and are therefore at risk of shingles. They mean of the susceptible age, right? (I just found a scary site explaining that you couldn't get shingles if you got chickenpox, ergo/because (the direction is not important) the vaccine was responsible for an epidemic, and...how? What?) How much has the vaccine cut that down to?

apparently, the older you get, the more likely you will have shingles. it is apparently a scourge among those who are 80 or older.

which sucks because if you lived that long and have your wits, to have shingles blows.

I suspect shingles blows at any age.

Do they know whether or not the chicken pox vaccine can make one susceptible to shingles?

The CDC page I found said you're less susceptible than if you had the full-blown infection, but I don't remember numbers.

That makes sense. Thanks ita.
