My mom had a bad experience with red one time with her hair dresser. My mom had a little bit of red in her hair at the time as asked to go lighter. Her hairdresser thought she meant redder.

My poor mom .... she said red was coming out of her hair in the shower for weeks!!

Yeah, usually what happens is that it tones itself down within about 2-3 days, but for that first part- watch out! I fought with him (and won) the night before a job interview once. No way was I going in there with fire-engine red hair.

I've had too many bad experiences with red. I just need to avoid it from now on.

Back in college I wanted to dye it this pretty light red color - it came our florescent orange. :laugh: I ended having to go dark brown (sent my mom out to buy the dye because there was no way I was going out in public, LOL) just to cover it.

My hair is weird, though - if I try to do any of the "golden" colors it turns out red. I have to stick with "ash" if I don't want red.

lost my dog, but found her again

Beagles are such blockheads

LOL. My mom had a beagle before I was born (named Bagel). She said she was the stupidest dog she ever owned.

Beagles so darn cute, though!! And I think stupid dogs are funny. I have one dog who I swear is smarter than some people I know and she's always making me mad. 😉 And then I have another dog who is sooooooo dumb. He's hilarious. He only knows one trick. You teach him one thing and he does it great, but if you then go to teach him anything else, he forgets the first thing he knew.

:laugh: Yea my beagle is ridiculous. She has a one track mind - rabbits. I swear that's all she thinks about 24 hours a day, but she is pretty cute and I love her anyway.

I have a golden who is really smart, here is a funny story. My mom went to get a picture taken of the two together (she is obsessed but that's another story) and the golden was sitting perfectly still because he knew he would get a bone. Well the freakin beagle wouldn't sit. So my golden starts to get really pissed, and you could tell! He started barking at her like crazy when she wouldn't cooperate and eventually hit her with his paw (to get her to sit) - I have never seen anything like it I swear :laugh:

I did NOT get any calls Sat night, which was great. Woke up several times throughout the night, you know- a little paranoid that I missed a call. I suppose I would have heard about it by now though.

I ALWAYS do that when I am on call. I check my pager every half hour and keep hallucinating it is going off.

:laugh: So funny. Hardest I have laughed in a long time.

My transcriptionist often totally messes up things I say, and I think just doesn't think about what she is writing. Anyway, I grossed in a hysterectomy this weekend. To make sure I didn't get the two halves messed up, I divided and separated the anterior cervix from the posterior cervix. I am not sure exactly what I said, but when I got my dictation back today one of the sentences was "I am the anterior cervix." :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I'm going in tomorrow. 10/1 he says "Can I put a little red in your hair?"

He always asks this. And I always remind him that based on our 2+ year history together, his definition of "a little red" is quite different from my definition of "a little red", so no, he may not. 🙂

:laugh:

I love going red. I always was red when I was younger, but since my rosacea got so much worse it really clashes with my skin now. 🙁

So what color are you getting?

oooh, that stuff makes me mad. that's why I was nervous about buying this one.

do you have any good contacts? I got a referral from a friend to someone her husband trusts, and the husband called the guy for me. he was pretty honest and up-front, and I wound up with a great deal.

Molly, for me going to the salon is like a box of chocolates.

Tomorrow= 1/2 head highlights and cut. He seems to like colors with flavor- I've had highlights that were caramel, honey, lemon, chocolate, butterscotch (I'm not kidding), and I don't even remember what else.

No 🙁 Not down here at least.

But the rip off was only the icing on the cake, 1. A car ran out of gas while I was test driving it. 2. He "explained" to me how a hybrid works, but was totally wrong and when I corrected him and explained how they do work he was like, "Well I think you need to check your facts" 3. He tried to tell me how much a new corolla was and overquoted by 4k and when I corrected him he said "Don't you think I know better?" with this little smirk.

Jackass. Not buying a car from there.

VD, you should have told the car salesman that if he knew so much, why did he let a customer take car out with an empty tank of gas???

*****!

October 1st. That's a Sunday so I figure they'll have to tell me by the Friday before.

It's so soon! Yet I don't even have a secondary or interview yet. 😉

Forgive my ignorance but I don't know anything about the American system. What are you waiting to find out? Are you waiting to find out if you've been admitted or if you're getting an interview or what?

I'm applying through the early decision program. I apply just to one school anf they have to tell me by october 1st if they want to accept me then or wait and give me a decision later. If they decide not to admit me early, then I can apply to other schools.

Yours might be. I have a 9100. Check the lounge, someone posted a link.

yea mine is on there too, along with what looks like every notebook Dell ever made

It looks like it's not a huge deal though. It says "under rare conditions" and I usually turn off my laptop at least on stand by when i'm not using it
