1. This was in Brattleboro, Vt in 1980. I don't remember where I found them.
2. Only if the person had a double, above the knee amputation.
j/k I'm 6' and they were a bit high-water on me and I think I had the triple extra extra large size.

Now, it's really bugging me about where I found them. Maybe Northampton, Ma? I'm pretty sure it wasn't mail order.

Home Depot has a neat (new ?) painter's drop cloth....4 x 9 ft
A plastic film on one side and absorbent paper on the other,
It just saved my butt.

TIP: Once you've had your floors re-finished and you suddenly decide to paint the walls,
don't leave the paint brush in a round-bottom, plastic, bowl half-full of paint.

Greencaine topical numbing gel.

It's inconvenient to use, to be sure. You don't rub it in, you have to slather on a very thick layer and hold it in place with a bandaid or even saran wrap for at least 45-60 minutes in order to achieve real numbing of the area. But if you have to stick a needle in the arm of a 5-year-old, and you've got the time to plan ahead... works like a goddamn charm. Absolutely worth the purchase price.

You'll never use that blue crap again.

Curl Genius: This thing is the bomb-diddly-bing-bong.

My hair is a few inches past my shoulders, and I usually just put it in a damn ponytail. My hair is straight enough to not be curly but wavy enough to not be straight. I don't care for using straighteners. I also don't want a permanent because of over-processing. This contraption takes more time than I usually spend on my hair but when I want big sexy bouncy curls...there is nothing better. You can leave the singly curls that are rather 'in' right now, or you can finger comb for big bouncy curls.

Do not operate while drunk. I found this out when I was at my friend's house trying to show her how it works.

Lamplighter · 10-29-2013, 09:40 AM

I think I saw a tv commercial/demonstration of that "curler".
My reaction was "It's like a computer, it lets you create knots very fast"

After using it, can you comb out your hair without knots or tangles ?

infinite monkey · 10-29-2013, 09:45 AM

You can, but you have to be careful. I use a detangling comb the first day (if I want to comb it...like I said I just finger comb it a bit to separate the curls a little.) The next day I use a regular hairbrush and it's just wavy, which is nice too. I can go a day between shampoos with this contraption.

230°C????? That's 446°F, that seems awfully hot to me. But, hell, that may be normal for all I know.

Happy Monkey · 10-29-2013, 04:51 PM

Reminds me of the Youtube video of the girl demonstrating how to curl hair, and instead burning her hair off.

BigV · 10-29-2013, 07:27 PM

UP TO... because it could still be... 230 F and not be incorrect. I smoulder to think what actually happens at 230 C though..

Lola Bunny · 10-29-2013, 10:05 PM

Inf Mon: I checked out the curler, and I love it! One YouTube person said it costs $180. Holy cow! But I checked Amazon and found out it's actually at a more affordable price. I already spent the money for a digital perm so I have to manually curl my hair now. Maybe with this, I can get curly hair more often.

infinite monkey · 10-30-2013, 08:51 AM

Lola: I saw the curler, or one like it at my salon. It was over 200 bucks! So I didn't think much more about it until I saw a poster for one in Sally's Beauty Supply Store (which I happened to be walking by.) They ordered them as people asked for them, so I had to wait a few days but it was around 100 bucks.

I looked it up on Amazon and I saw a listing that ships from Sally's for 99 dollars...so that's probably your best bet.

It's fun! Like I said, I've not been much on doing anything with my hair, or my face...or anything, but I'm trying to get some of my confidence back so when I spend the time to use this curler I like the results and I've even been compelled to slap on a bit of make-up. Now, if I could just get up the nerve to join a gym. Wish I had a workout buddy.

I'd work out with you

I actually slapped some make-up on last night. and nail polish

which is still on and freaking me out while I type. I ought to go work out now, but I'm procrastinating as usual. I have hair like yours, that's why I just go for short. Hebe might be interested in that thingumajig, though.... but her hair is dead straight naturally, wonder if it would work as well?

footfootfoot · 10-30-2013, 09:27 AM

Would it be to much to ask for a photo of the new, curlier you?

What I meant is that I used up the money I saved to perm my hair. So now, no money, no perm.

Yeah, I found the curler at Amazon too. I know what you mean by letting go and trying to feel better. Hair, face, clothes....they may be artificial, but they sure help in a person's mentality. Sometimes I force myself to dress up and make my face and hair I won't let go too much. Hope you can venture into the gym soon. By the way, I read your "workout buddy" as knockout body. I was thinking, oh hell yeah, me too! ...LOL
