I’m not ready!!
I have an early appt for a hair cut. Will get a perm in a couple of weeks. I waited to late to call to get the perm earlier.
Until you get that perm
I guess you will just have to be content with a temp!
I grew up unaware of my Native-American ancestry, because people didn’t “share” that information back then. Curls were “in”, so my Mom would bring me to the Beauty Shop to get a perm (They were VERY harsh chemicals and VERY effective in those days!) No matter what the beautician did, my hair wouldn’t curl. At what point she was so frustrated, she asked,
“Is this kid some kind of Indian?”
LOL.
“Where intellect and emotion clash, the heart often has the greater wisdom” wrote the authors of A General Theory of Love. In the past, they say, people believed that the mind should rule the heart, but science has now discovered the opposite to be true. “Who we are and who we become depends, in part, on whom we love.”
Those familiar with Scripture recognize this as an ancient truth, not a new discovery. The most important commandment God gave to His people gives the heart the prominent place. “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength” (Deut. 6:5). Not until the gospels of Mark and Luke do we learn that Jesus added the word mind (Mark 12:30; Luke 10:27). So, what scientists are just now discovering, the Bible taught all along.
Those of us who follow Christ also know the importance of whom we love. When we obey the greatest commandment and make God the object of our love, we can be assured of having a purpose that transcends anything we could imagine or our strength could achieve. When our desire for God dominates our hearts, our minds will stay focused on ways to serve Him, and our actions will further His kingdom on earth and in heaven.

: According to rabbinic tradition, there are 613 commandments in the Torah (the Pentateuch) which every pious Jew must keep. When asked which of these commandments is the most important, Jesus (quoting Deuteronomy 6:4-5 and Leviticus 19:18) said to “love the Lord your God” and “love your neighbor” (Mark 12:30-31). All the commandments are summarized in the duty to love (Matt. 22:40). This priority of love is echoed by John, the apostle of love, in 1 John 4:7-21.
Amen to that!
Mine will take the curl okay; I usually get a soft body perm. My hair is very fine. I’m tired of it hanging over my eyes.
Ah...I understand. My hair is very coarse and straight...almost “Asian” in its quality.

Thank you, Rus....Amen
Happy V day to everyone!
Thanks, Meg. Billie made this six years ago but I haven’t used it since 2012.
I have some wonderful graphics that Billie and Lori made for Amy’s Place. Wish we would hear something from Billie .... wonder if I can beg a new graphic or two from Lori.
Wishing you a lovely Valentine’s Day. Happy Caturday.
Ahhh ... thank you, Meg. This is so cute with the little mouse joining in.
I wish we could hear from Billie, too.
I love Lori’s graphics...I wish you luck.
;o)
Hope your day is lovely, too. it’s sunny and 65 here.
Happy Caturday, Meg!
Greetings to all the great FRiends at Amy’s Place!
;o)
Thank you
Started painting again?
Thank you, (((TCP))).
Ha Ha! It is day 4 of my “break”.
I have the DIY Channel on and my favorite show “Rehab Addict” is on. The hostess Nicole is very inspiring. She saves historic old homes from the wrecking ball and restores them to their former glory.
I may just tackle painting the small bathroom due to her spunk and Get R Done attitude!
Hey thanks for the encouragement! The paint was supposed to be low fumes and I am so glad it really is. I am really sensitive to perfumes, cig. smoke and other stuff, so I wondered if it was wise to paint inside in the winter. No worries though, it didn’t bother me a bit.
Have a great Caturday-Dogurday! (we only have doggies)
