what's on your mind, right now?

The hair stylist that took me years to find, and then another year or two to get to where she really did a great job with my hair has stopped styling in favour of education (so she's good enough to teach!) and has left her job. Now I am stuck with someone who doesn't know how to do my hair again. It just sucks. My hair looks shitty. It will probably look okay in about a month.

My friend picked the best one for me she said the earlier one is no good so i went with her advice and now the earlier spoilt one is too thick to get it.. sorry not everybody is into popularity if i wanted popularity id hook up with a public toilet with a large print saying best award toilets

I don't suppose yer one might do you a favour and see you privately? Flattery might work

I'm kinda joking, but I'm also half serious.... I'm thinking $1,000+/-?

I have 100 1-ounce silver coins on hand in case the dollar collapses!

I probably wouldn't even have to flatter her, but she lives like 2 hours away, so I was hoping to get this colleague of hers to learn it. They are friends, and she did consult the old stylist about it, but still didn't do it right. I will give her another chance, because the first time is always a learning experience. Meanwhile.... my hair is all poofy and wavy in all the wrong places.

Just spoke with an old old friend... We saw PJ together with Red Hot Chili Peppers 1992...that's how long I've known him and we were close for years, but as time goes, family, work, life....the years pass. I've spoken with him in maybe 4 or 5 short times this past year, after years on no contact,,,so been trying to arrange a get together. (1500 miles apart)

Long story........short

I called him tonight and as we got into the conversation, he kept wanting to pull it back to religion and politics, I'm trying to steer the conversation towards us going to Wrigley next week... the past florida shows...life...yadda yada.... he becomes more and more pushy towards politics and religion ....ummm Racist and ULTRA CONSERVATIVE RADICAL CHRISTAIN talk,,,, Asked me if I had given my soul to Christ "Cause I to make sure you don't go to hell", DIRECT QUOTE... Then something racist stuff about Black and Police and lazy welfare..etc....then on to all Muslims are evil terrorist... How he has read the Koran twice and it's nothing but evil and killings....

I held the phone stunned...STUNNED..

I made the mistake of saying something like, "the Old Testament isn't exactly cover to cover Garden of Eden stuff, lots of killing in there".. and my normal.. "I just want people to respect my beliefs and I will respect theirs"

That just made him go off on a weird Liberal Media rant.., I literally said, "I love you man, but i think you need to turn the tv and internet off and relax" the response was a louder rant..

I hastily said I gotta go and to take care of himself...

It was kinda scary how much a person can change... I remember this guy having Green Peace/Save the Whales stickers on his car in the 90's...wow

Now don't get me wrong.. I respect everyones politics and religion. Friends, work colleagues..etc.. but this wasn't like that...this was Aluminum foil hat - the New World Order is listening kinda stuff... still feel weird about the conversation...haha

It's just uplifting - and humbling - to have received such nice words and energy from a random person, both of us going about our day.

And all because I smiled at him.

You never know the effect we have on others, by even the smallest gesture or action.

Well that was an odd link to an old closed thread, dimi.

If you're drunk, you just could've said so

Lol dimi
I don't get drunk..
And when I go out I have
A few people with me in
Case my drink gets spiked
And if I feel off I go home..

It's pretty amazing to have someone in your life that believes in you, even when you don't even believe in yourself.

How much did they cost you? What is the outlook on silver price if the dollar doesn't collapse?
