the county courthouse is closed tomorrow . . . for St. Patrick's Day!

Here's my story about St. Patrick's Day: When I was growing up, my mother made me wear orange on St. Patrick's Day. Because we were Orangemen.

the thing that gets me about this is . . . we have no recent immigrants on either side of my family--they all came before the war. The Revolutionary War, that is. That's a legacy of over three hundred years of hatred.

I stopped that in my generation, thank goodness.

How come....when I was younger, I had straight, straight, DEAD straight hair and spent hours making it wavy.

Now, I have wavy hair and spend 30 mins everyday straightening it???

I'm just not buying into the whole straightening craze. And jim would friggin explode if I spent an extra 30 minutes on my hair. You should hear him gripe as it is...

DucksNuts · 03-17-2008, 08:04 PM

I love straight hair, but I tend to do flicky stuff.

I shower, makeup and hair in under 40 mins

Straight hair can be so pretty, shiny, sheeny, etc. But I gotta say, I see these beautiful young ladies who spent who knows how long straightening their hair and sometimes it just looks stringy (like my mom would say.) For instance, the Jennifer Aniston look when she had the stringy style. Not attractive. I just want to run a comb through it and blow some wind at it.

No one has mentioned the gross punctuation error and I am truly amazed that no one here has remarked on it, for me to fix it....It's been there for months! Not only did I quote a cellar member...It is misquoted because the punctuation is wrong....wake up guys! Are you guys just too polite to say anything now or what?!?

It's like walking around with your dress tucked in your hose in the back and waiting for someone to say something....

Off topic: Who misses Zengum? And Jester?

But you have great curls. It would love odd straight imo.

As our bathroom floor has a tendency to leak through to the living room (sigh) I have to bath rather than shower. Even though I now wear foundation to work (first time in my life but I love it) I can go from bed to door in 50 mins on a hair-wash day. I count that as low maintenance. Then again I don't straighten my hair and I breakfast at work.

OMG I think just the same! We have a pretty-people teen soap opera called Hollyoaks and when I used it as exercise incentive I would have loved to reach into the screen and give the girls a good going over with my hairbrush.

I probably wasn't the only one.

I wish I had curls.
If I hadn't bleached the bejesus out of my hair I'd be considering a perm again

PS I miss them too!

Are you talking about the 4 dot ellipsis? Guess I'm not too polite.

Cicero · 04-11-2008, 09:08 AM

No silly!! I don't care about that...Thank you for saying ellipses though, now I am open to mention that it is my favorite poetic style.
