So many customers at the bakery literally just scrawl a vague line when they're signing receipts. And the people who write a legible name are mostly women, and mostly over 50. Just anecdotally.

Nice. Let me know what you think.

When I first added blue, my stylist thought she wouldn't bleach, just let the grey show the blue and the brown nsm and have interesting depth and shading. Did not work out, couldn't see any blue at all. I'm not sure if the grey didn't take the dye or is just distributed in a way that makes it hard to see, but bleaching worked much better. I do still want to play with chalk.

Tim's signature is just a T and a scrawl. I used to have a nice signature, but when I sign at a point-of-sale credit card dealie, I just do an S and a scrawl, because fuck it.

Do you do paper receipts, Amy? My digital signature is even less legible than pen and ink.

We do use paper receipts! We don't even have a pin pad for debit cards -- everything runs as a credit. No chip reader either. And I almost laughed at the woman who wanted to pay with her iPhone the other day.

My digital signature is a nightmare, too, although I try to sign it the way I normally sign -- it's just the screen or the pen thingie that's hard to get used to, I guess.

My signature is probably completely forgeable -- it's very round and very legible, but I don't think I could change it now.

My hair went white, rather than gray, and it tends to grab color and hold it. A friend, who went gray and has her hair colored blonde, has a problem that the gray resists it. ymmv

My gray hair resists all change. It will only take dark colors. It was a constant fight to keep it red; I finally gave up and dyed it dark brown again.

billytea alert! seems that in Australia, the sharks are on Twitter, warning swimmers and surfers when they're coming.

I'm letting my hair go blonde/grey as it wants to. The bright copper streaks at my temple have gone blonde, and I've got spatters of grey.

I try to sign paper receipts legibly, but electronic signatures are a squiggle. If they're not going to give me a pen that will cooperate, they don't get cooperation from me.

the sharks are on Twitter,

Some bright spark better start naming the sharks and programming the alerts to say "G'day, mate! Bruce the nine-foot Great White, here, looking for tasty morsels off Bondi Beach! Just a friendly warning, let me get a few seals down my gullet and I'll be on my way."
