sunflower medium golden blonde - the one that washes out after 28 shampoos and doesn't lift or lighten because I was a little afraid to try that right now. I will tell you it straightened this mess right up! At least now all of the highlights appear the same color and are more golden, it is just overall darker than I would like but still much more flattering than what I had. When this starts to wash out I will go to Sally's and maybe try an overall lighter color as you suggest. Hopefully when all is said and done I won't even have to go to the salons anymore for color and pay them hundreds of dollars for a lousy job. I am a little annoyed because I did put out over $200 between the highlights and cut and tip but I guess I'll get over it :(
Thank you to all who helped! I feel so much better! I really am thankful for this board!

Nice and Easy Natural Highlight Neutral Blonde, 098. It is a great color of light blond with highlights. Your hair will be soft after using it too. When you go to drugstore.com, it gives it 5 stars.
You have to follow your instincts and
A therapist ideally really should be able to adjust their style to the needs of the client. In the end, what matters is are you making progress? ... is she helping you address the issues you came to her with in a way that is meaningful to you? ... and is she challenging you emotionally? It reminds me of the movie, Girl Interrupted, where Angelina Jolie's character is lamenting that nobody cared enough to push her buttons. It's one thing to be a friend who is supportive and accepting of one as they already are. It's another to not care enough to "push the right buttons" to help someone challenge their shortcomings.
It sounds like you have examined this relationship and find it lacking. There is no shame in telling someone, even a therapist, that you are not getting out the relationship as much as you are putting into it (in this instance, a lot of money). At least you can say learning to trust your instincts is one thing you did get out of the relationship.
Follow your instincts
I had this happen years ago with my brother. I tried to make him realize I didn't do what he thought, but he wouldn't budge. I chalk it up as a lesson learned in life, you can't make another person think or believe anything they don't want to. If I dwell on it, it still burns me up, so I try to leave it behind. Anyway, trust your instincts, they will never let you down.
Use your motherly instincts and keep
your child safe. I live in Georgia and we hear of so many accidents involving children and ATVs. No one can replace your child if something should happen. You know what to do.
Use your motherly instincts
You have a right to have normal motherly instincts, and I think you know what those are with regard to this situation. A 4-wheeler is not safe enough for a child of that age, and your MIL should know that. Even adults have been killed in accidents with these vehicles, even when they are driven safely, but too much can happen. There is no real protection for children on these vehicles, and she can easily be thrown from one. Just think, you put your child in a safety restraint seat in your car for a reason, these vehicles have no protection, and she is not old enough to protect herself should something go wrong, so definitely I would not even think about putting a child on something like this.
Just tell your MIL the same things I have told you politely. If she puts up a fuss, just ignore her and think about the safety of your child first. My daughter lives on a farm and would not even let my grandson set foot on one of these until he was over 8.
Trust your instincts. nm

You were surprised she got it? A cat's instincts for birds, especially, are sm
great. They keep their eyes on it and it's over. Especially a young one. So sad. I hate the circle of life. All of our goats were attacked and killed by neighborhood dogs a few weeks ago and people are telling me, "Oh well, that's what dogs do!" I wanted to slap them.
My instincts are telling me you're right (sm)
He seems so genuine and grateful and tells me how much he loves me all the time...but I have a feeling that when I wasn't coming through with cash he found someone else who would. I know he really does "need" the money, but I guess he will get it however he can.
Ours is a natural gas...sm
generator that is wired into our main fuse box. You can have as many or as few electrical circuits (rooms) wired in, depending on the size generator you buy. Consumer Reports usually does a good job evaluating these and gives good advice.
We got ours after a tornado caused a prolonged power outage then later an ice storm. It is a nice feeling not to have to panic when these things come up.
And, yes, as long as you have the circuit wired in where your computer, etc, is plugged in AND DON'T LOOSE YOU ISP CONNECTION, you will be able to work.
It is expensive, but in the long run, I'm glad we did it.
natural vs.
Originally, we went all out and only bought organic everything, including lunchmeat. Now we only buy organic milk. Everything else we buy is "natural." It is very hard to get USDA stamp organic and that is why the cost is higher.
Absolutely the best substitute for organic is kosher and you can mix and match from there.
(Godiva is not organic, but it is kosher!)
I think it is natural for him to
test the boundaries of his new situation, don't you? Once he knows there are still rules and you are sticking to them, he will be fine. I really wouldn't be too worried. If he seems excessively angry, then that's another situation. Hang in there. 
We all seem to have a natural part here. But I keep my

There must be some sort of natural
repellent on the market that you can spray on the furniture so that when he jumps up there and sniffs around, whatever he does, he won't like it and will get down. I have heard of something similar with cayenne pepper or something in it that keeps them away...Will see if I can find what I am thinking and post it if I can.
I think it is a natural way to feel...BUT....sm
when you get involved with someone with children that is part of the deal. I snuggle and hug my kids all the time and if I was ever to divorce and date someone, they would just have to deal with it. He is with you because he wants to be with you and when he wants adult snuggling and cuddling it is you he will want. But when he gets time to spend with his daughter, you need to find something to entertain yourself and let them have their time. She will grow up and not want his attention soon enough. I say maybe 3 or 4 more years, tops, and then he'll be pretty much all yours :-)
Actually raw/organic/natural is the best
But you do have to watch where the ingredients come from because like one of the posters said they can contract parasites just like humans could if they have bad meat. I've attached a link. I think if you start pets at a young age they will take to the raw food diet, but trying to start an adult cat is difficult.

Was this a natural thing?
Or the result of fertility drugs/in vitro? I just don't know what I would do with 8 little ones! God bless them
While I am not a vegetarian, it is the natural
process for "creatures"
to eat each other. I hate when one of my cats kills another "creature" but that is their nature.
natural OTC medication?
Could you tell me what natural OTC medication she is taking? This sounds so much like my 16-year-old daughter. TIA.
No natural gas stove -- for heating only
It is a natural gas free standing stove with logs, etc. Not a cooking stove. Thanks for your concern.
Microsoft Natural Ergonomic
I use the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 v1.0. It is awesome!
Out in Cali. it IS natural selection - with all the
gang-banger thugs filling up our emergency rooms to the point of them going broke & shutting down. You'd think by now some of them would see it's a pointless, useless lifestyle.
Jergens natural glow
it goes on easy, no streaking, smells okay, no orange, cheap...i know several who use it besides myself.
natural bug cleaner for cars...anybody got one?
Does anybody know of a natural solution to remove bugs from your car without ruining the paint job? thanks
Not sure about natural, but Bugs-B-Gone is what my husband uses.(nm)

Natural Selection in progress
Survival of the fittest, so to speak. And, yes, it is very reminiscent of The Stand. Hopefully I won't see the National Guard rounding people up on the news for quarantine anytime soon.
Walnuts- natural source of melatonin
Want a better night's sleep? Try sprinkling your dinner's tossed green salad, fruit salad or steamed vegetables with a handful of walnuts. Or enjoy a baked apple or poached pear topped with walnuts for dessert.
Melatonin, a hormone produced by the pineal gland, which is involved in inducing and regulating sleep and is also a powerful antioxidant, has been discovered in walnuts in bio-available form, making them the perfect evening food for a natural good night's sleep.
Melatonin has been shown to help improve sleep for night shift workers and people suffering from jet lag, but maintaining healthy levels of this hormone is important for everyone over the age of 40 since the amount of melatonin produced by the human body decreases significantly as we age, and this decrease in antioxidant protection may be related to the development of free radical-related diseases later in life.
In a study published in Nutrition, Russell Reiter and colleagues at the University of Texas have not only quantified the amount of melatonin present in walnuts-between 2.5 and 4.5 ng/gram-but have demonstrated that eating walnuts triples blood levels of melatonin and also increases antioxidant activity in the bloodstream in animals.
The authors theorize that by helping the body resist oxidative stress (free radical damage), walnuts may help reduce the risk of cancer and delay or reduce the severity of cardiovascular disease and neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's or Alzheimer's disease. Walnuts, best known as a heart-healthy nut, are also a rich source of another highly cardio-protective nutrient: omega-3-fatty acids, so Reiter and his team will next investigate possible synergy between walnuts' omega-3 fats and melatonin. To us at the World's Healthiest Foods, this sounds familiar theme in Nature's symphony in which whole, wholesome foods each provide a wealth of nutrients whose harmony promotes our optimal health.
We put in a wood stove - I haven't used natural gas

Magnesium is a natural muscle relaxant sm
I'd take it before bed. Myself, I get very relaxed and woozy if I take it, so I go to bed. Red raspberry leaf tea is supposed to be very good for cramps. I am allergic to them, so I can't tell you how that works.

What kind of dog do you have? It's hard to beat natural instinct.
My cat keeps killing birds and laying them on my front porch as little gifts for me. I'm so thrilled at 6 a.m. when I get up and walk out on the front porch for my morning coffee and find a dead bird! But thankfully my cat goes after small prey. My neighbors cat brought home a big fat rat the other morning! YUK!!! I don't know where he got it and I don't want know!
Good luck!

Anyone have ideas for natural lipid-lowering agents? sm
I try so hard, oatmeal, almonds, whole grain bread, watch what I eat and drink, substitute honey for sugar, yet triglycerides and cholesterol high. Getting discouraged and feel like saying to heck with it. I did Google, same thing I do, they say it may be familial.

Pretty much natural. Did use a product called "Healthy Woman"
that my gyn recommended, helped with hot flashes. It was a couple of years of messed-up and weird cycles then all of sudden it just stopped. Still have hot flashes after about 5 years but not very bad or often.
yam cream is a natural progesterone cream--sm
I believe you can get it in most drug stores, health food stores, and on line. check on line, as you may find a better quality at a cheaper price. It works well.
