and after my niece started going brunette from her dark blond, and it looked pretty good. My natural shade is a dark greenish brown, and my skin looks better with just a hint of red in a dark brown. It changes with time, but just looks more natural over time, since it gets closer to the color of the roots growing in. My picky older sister thinkgs it looks good, and even my hairdresser likes it.

I waited about 7 months.
I wish I had done it sooner. I couldn't eat anything without getting sick by the time I gave in.
I think we have all waited too late
to take our money out of the market. We probably should have made the move a year ago. I don't know what to tell you to do. I guess it would depend on the amount of interest you would have to pay on the loan. I think it will be several years before the market recovers.
How about the answer...think we have waited long enough. nm

Lady, you have got to get a life! Seriously! You probably waited
all day for a response like this just to justify your hate and meanness. You need serious, serious help. I am not kidding!
We waited 10 weeks, until 1st doctor appointment 9sm)
We just weren't comfortable telling anyone right away. Wanted to be sure everything was ok and had "stuck." I'm a very private person and would not want to have to deal with people knowing if something had gone wrong - I'm not really one for all the pity and tiptoing around you that people do after the loss of a pregnancy. Plus, once you tell it's all anyone wants to talk about!
I had someone tell me once that she was PG even before she told her husband. She miscarried two days later, then was calling me to tell me not to tell anyone and wondering if she should tell her husband after the fact. I was uncomfortable.
Having said that, if you feel so inclined, go ahead and share your joy! Congrats!
Another thing, my parents waited until we were older
and it was awful. Your kids know when you're arguing and feel the tension. It makes for a very unhappy home life. It was almost a relief when my parents finally separated and divorced. Life seemed so much more peaceful.
You've waited at least 5 years too long already.
Your boyfriend has the best of both worlds and has no reason to marry you. If you stay with this person out of "love" I guarantee you will look back on your life one day with deep regret.
More concerning is that you say the other man is able to take care of you. Is that what you're looking for, someone to take care of you? You can't expect another person to make you happy or to validate your worth; it can only come from you.
I think your biggest issue is lack of self-esteem, and if you learn to love yourself the question about your relationship will answer itself.
I wouldn'tve waited 4 years - it would take me all of 4 min.
The next morning I'd be in town speaking to a lawyer about a divorce, and picking up a restraining order at the local P.D. on the way home. And maybe a pitbull with a long biting-history at the local SPCA.
And that would just be for STARTERS, before I got REALLY angry.
Going Gray
It is so nice to see this new board! I came here this morning with a non-MT question so it's a wonderful coincidence...I've been coloring my hair for 30 years, starting when I was 28 years old--to cover premature gray. Now have decided to just let it go, because of the time, expense and harshness to my hair and scalp. I think I must be about 80% gray/white, with some dark brown still in the back. It's short--bottom of the ear length. What is the best way to transition from those with a similar experience? Thanks so much--
re: gray
My hubby doesn't like my gray hair either, but I am sick of coloring it too. He saw an ad for keeping your color longer, I told him, "Yeah just let the gray grow out and then it won't be a problem." hehe...he wasn't happy...I'm about halfway there and my gray is nice and white and so at 43, I don't mind. I think I earned it!
Has anyone purposely gone gray
I'm contemplating on not coloring my hair anymore. I've been buying "Natural Instincts" which is suppose to be less chemicals, but I really hate putting any chemicals on my hair. Also, tired of coloring my hair in within 2 days the sides right around my ears are once again gray (no matter what brand I use). So just wanted to know if anyone has gone natural gray and how long does it take. Seems like I go through these ups and downs. When I first start turning gray is when I decide I'm not going to color but then as I get more gray my hair looks brittle and I just start to look more "haggish" so I give in to the box. If you have gone gray do you have any suggestions/products you particularly like over others.
same in my family. gray comes in late
My mom is in her 70's and only has gray streaks in the front. My paternal grandmother was 88 when she passed away, and she still had mostly black hair. I've always said the same thing about dying gray hair! I'm going to wait until it's mostly gray and then try out some funky colors!
Did you like Gray's Anatomy this week?
We tape it, so I'm not even sure what day it's on, but I finally saw it.
I enjoy parts of the show, despite so many of the characters and their story lines being so maddeningly illogical and annoying.
Meredith - Get over yourself and get to know your sister, you dolt.
Derek: You are too good for Meredith.
Chief: Why did you do it? Callie is a newlywed in a mess, while Bailey can make her own decisions and handle anything.
George and Alex - Much improved hair. Thank you.
Christina - Do try to actually teach something.
Izzie - You just can't be normal, can you?
That's all I have to say about that.
I believe we read the John Gray books because that was what was out then, but -
I think Dr. Phil's books are better and more practical. We got the relationship book when it came out to see if there was anything else we could work on. Go to counseling and REALLY work on it. It will work if you give it a chance (for the most part). I will tell you there were couples in our class who were FAR worse off than we were who said at the end they never felt closer. Not sure where they are at now, but I know for a fact my hubby and I have never been closer or happier. Remember, put as much effort into your anger, resentment, etc., as you do into cultivating a good relationship. Most of the time men are clueless the little things they do harden our hearts to them and are very open to doing what it takes to make us happy once they find out what we want and need. Good luck to you. :-)
Desperate Housewives....and about Gray's Anatomy
I thought last season was so awful I may not even watch it this year. What happened there? It's too bad.
I am using gray screen and black type. (nm)

When the gray color is yellow-tinged,
that's when it can look good to use that blueing treatment. If you overdo it you end up with blue or lilac hair, but in the right dose it can effectively take out the yellow and give a more pleasing shade of gray or white.
It was legalized, but since it's kind of a gray area
and the federal government hasn't legalized it, medical marijuana establishments occasionally get shut down. Never could understand it. I really don't see why it's illegal. Even though I don't use it myself (just don't like smoking - period), I have no problem with my friends using it. I would prefer, of course, that they not drive a car while under the influence, but when it comes to how it affects them, it certainly doesn't make them mean, the way alcohol does to people. So especially when it comes to someone who is sick or in pain, or has lost their appetite, I think by all means they should have access to use pot to help them feel better. If it's legal for a doctor to pump them full of steroids, narcotic pain-killers, and highly toxic anti-cancer drugs, the use of a little pot to help them get through all that, or better still, do WITHOUT some of the pain meds or appetite stimulants, seems like such a non-issue. I wish our government would focus its attention on things that actually MATTER.
the Lord John Gray books
I read the first one but haven't read the 2 that she published this year (waiting for the paperback versions). It wasn't as good as Outlanders but still pretty decent. Mainly a mystery that I had a hard time following at first with a bit of LJG's (ahem) personal charateristics thrown in, if you know what I mean.
Summer or fall? Black for the fall. Silver or mushroom gray/beige is good and could
