"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Is there any bright colored dye that will take to just my grays?

if the rest of your hair is dark, any semi-permanent dye (Manic Panic, Splat!, Special Effects, etc.) will dye your gray and leave a "gloss" of sheer color over the rest. If you're blonde (or pale ash brown, as I apparently am), the semi-perm will visibly stain your hair.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I need gift ideas. Parents 50th anniversary and Grandma's 90th birthday!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Booze? Dinner cruise or similar "experience"?

Also, imagine being 40 at your kid's wedding??

ISTG, the person who invents hair dye that only sticks to grays will make a fortune.

Punishingly Intricate

My public school had a policy against unnatural hair colors. Is that not a thing anymore?
Not in MD, at least in Frederick where my 8 year old niece has dyed green hair ( her school color) or in bmore where my 10 year old friend has had several different color streaks added to her blond hair.

Yeah, that's a tough problem. I tried it once and that's why I had to change my last name to Anderson and move to Idaho.

I had a Revenge of Matilda moment this morning when I went to comb my hair and got purple stripes in my white hair. (It washed out after a brief moment of grumpy panic.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

omg. Flight arrived around midnight. Got home a little after 1. Checked email and my work wants me to attend a 9:30 meeting. Got to sleep some time after 2. 5:30, big heavy piece of furniture falls in bedroom, waking me, husband, and the dog we're dog-sitting for. Dog is scared of noise, so it takes forever for him to calm down. No idea what time I got back to bed. Despise the whole world.

Oh dear, Dana. That is terrible.

I KNEW IT.
