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."

I've been thinking about fun colors (dark teal would be nice), but the timing hasn't been right.

I'm working at home today. Usually it's fun. Today I'm watching society break down as our water company developed problems and asked its users to not use water for an undetermined time. Schools closed (kids can't flush after using the bathroom or wash their hands), restaurants are closed, and all the bottled water in town has been sold. I have plenty of water in my apartment from last year's hurricane prep, and I can go to friends' places tomorrow for showers if things carry on. Still, this was an unexpected occurrence.

Hair appointment made for next Saturday. Hopefully we still have a civilization at that point.
