We leave Monday for Newark, then fly out Tuesday. I am so excited my feet barely touch ground.

No—it was a simple “slip and fall.” Judge ruled a directed verdict for rhe defense before we even got to deliberate. Old lady presented no decent evidence. Photos of the sidewalk she took were poor and inconclusive.

They can’t call me again for 3 years.

Odd. The NYTimes and Washington Post both come in round wrappers, but they have no tear-off notches to separate the sheets for ready use in the bathroom.

Guess I need to folderoll of my own next ttime.

It’s just a couple flakes. Nothing to worry about.

Beware. DH was born April 28, and the hospital was buried under more than 3 feet of snow that year.

Each of those is a great thing! I don’t tan but all the other things would be very welcome (well except that I just cut my hair very short and love it!) ;^)

my hairdresser suggested me growing mine out some, but I have not been happy with it and will ask her to cut it normally again the next time. I have felt unkempt, daily!

I had mine cut about a month ago before I went to visit my Mother. I got to her home and realized it was uneven! Drove me nuts while I was there - came back and went back to someone I used to go to and she did a great job - my hair has a lot of natural curl so I have to dry it to control it - she did such a great cut I can just blow it like crazy and it falls into the same “do” - I’m so happy with it

C’mon, two days in a row of talking about haircuts?

Isn’t it hockey season?

Have you been watching Game of Thrones or Turn?

haha, saw something on twitter mentioning [sarcastically] FERNGULLY in re Earth day, and sent it to xsteen, who roared and said she remembers watching it as a child and her dad going off on some diatribe about it being leftwing and she didn’t know yet what that even meant! Whyisa did your kids watch it? I know we owned it!

you cannot beat a hairdo that just falls into what it’s supposed to look like. I blowdry mine without using a brush, just using my hands, and I use no product— normally it just falls into place [I also do not carry a brush, so once it is dried and brushed I don’t touch a brush to it again, just run my fingers through it]

I haven’t watched Turn, but my guys have. I will do it one of these days. Of course I’m watching GofThrones.....

Stephen Root showed up on Turn now. There isn’t anything he doesn’t add to.

I wonder if GoT is leading us to an apocalyptic winter where the only survivors left to repopulate the continent are Brienne and Podrick.

I use a brush to dry it straight - sort of - but like you it sort of styles with my hands - no product here either
