Hey: If anyone's interested?

Trolls be trollin.

Has anyone here seen Gran Hotel? I just started it on Netflix and it's pretty good so far! I recommend for those who like Downton Abbey-type shows and who want to pretend they are practicing Spanish by watching it!

Only seven? I'm impressed.

This is a beautiful song. I'm sorry for your loss. Best wishes.

I made 12 madeleines 3 hours ago and have already eaten 7 of them.

I'm going to get lost in greys, I imagine, but I have lost a dear one recently and am far from home, and for me this is a solid Saturday night introspective:

I spring for a little more than a drugstore box, and a lot less than a salon, and get outstanding results with Aveda ordered via Amazon. You get developer and color separately - you'll need 40 volume developer for gray or white - and mix roughly 50/50, only using as much as you need for however much hair you have…

Trazadone (a tricyclic) can be helpful here. It is an anti-depressant, but it helps you sleep. It doesn't have major side effects like interferring with sexytimes, or cause you to gain weight or feel tremendously anxious like other antidepressants can. But your doctor can guide you through your best choices. I am…

I got salon perms from age 9 until 12. My mother really wanted me to have curly hair. I didn't have the problems with breakage that everyone is describing, but it also never looked curly; it always fell into uniform waves, like a cocker spaniel's pelt.

Yeah. My mom and my aunts gave me an Ogilve home perm out on the back porch, sat up on a bar stool with a kitchen towel clothespinned around my neck. But not before they gave me a reverse mullet: left it long on top, and cut it super short on the sides and around the back. I looked like a poodle with bad glasses and…

Freshman year of college, 1988, and it was time for a new perm. It was also the morning after my first all-night tequila-fueled Mardi Gras bender. I staggered into my 10 am perm appointment, tequila still oozing out of my pores, and then sat there in painful horror as the stylist applied copious amounts of…

As someone with super curly hair, pretty much every hair dresser is like, "Oh, we need to layer your hair!" This is the kiss of death...or maybe kiss of the poodle?! It might work fine with someone with loose curls but it doesn't work for everyone. The only time I had a hair dresser who didn't suggested said she…

That sounds suspiciously like a poodle permed mullet. I feel for you.

Here's my perm on a horse.

I took my waist length bone-straight hair to a professional for my 1990 spiral perm. She checked it at 45 minutes, and hour, 1 1/2 hours. . . and the curl would not set. Finally, after nearly 3 hours, I walked out with a gorgeous head of mermaid curls. Lasted all of three weeks until my hair started breaking off in…

I don't know. I gave myself home perms all through high school and they looked fine.

Me and a friend tried to bleach another friend's hair with actual bleach, too! Her parents wouldn't let her buy the real stuff so we decided to try it at my house with household bleach. I don't think it did anything except make her scalp itch and burn like crazy. I'm not really sure what she was going for, because she…

I have dark black hair. Long dark black hair. But when I was a teenager I was not happy having long dark black hair. However It's hard to lighten black hair when you don't know what you are doing and silly me I thought you could bleach your hair with actual bleach. So I went to the cupboard and got the javex and…
