Had to check Hillary’s hairstyle. I went with a new style and for a moment panicked that we were similar.......made me remember that waitress who thought our hair was alike that time........still laugh about that one.

I was at MJ’s one day and said I can't let my hair color go natural as I would look like an aging hippie. Then I went home and looked in the mirror, decided my curly hair looked like an aging hippie's anyway. Decided to trim it up and straighten it. Voila! New hairstyle. Everyone commented on it but my husband who failed to even notice. (sigh)

I rely implicitly on my hair stylist to decide what to do with my hair. I assume she will let me know when it’s acceptable to go grey. I am not remotely there yet. But I am quite blonde now, while my natural color was dark brown. it’s been gradual, probably over the last 20 years it’s been ligther. But as I told a friend whom I had not seen in a long time who commented on the blonde, it is much more forgiving when growing out than dark hair.

My elders tell me after age 70 one should consider going natural. I got lots of time yet.

The wide acceptance of queer “marriage” was the ultimate proof of the fructification of America.

A big thunderstorm came in at 6 AM and hung around until nearly 7:30, so work is rained out today-it is still sprinkling off and on...

If the investigations fructify
Those rats doing the leaking
Will hope to save their skins
Doing some loud squeaking

Hoping for a public scolding
Instead of getting hard time
They won’t spare a thought
When they go drop the dime

On anyone they can just use
For some kind of distraction
And hope the finger pointing
Manages to get some traction

Nemesis and I were talking about the Eric Bolling thing last night-we both think he probably did the Carlos Danger thing-I reminded him this is why it is dumb to text stuff like that to anyone at all-it doesn’t matter that the woman may have lured Bolling into sending her pix of his junk-he still did it...

I like my hair style and keeping it the same color it was before I started to go gray-I intend to go to my grave with it-apparently most of the women out here like that, too-long hair kept the natural color on women way up in age is the norm-you don’t see many women with gray hair, but lots of guys with long gray or white hair and full beards-it is a different world out here...
