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!

Craig Ferguson, Late Late Show
Such a great interviewer and SO handsome!
What would you do if your doc was always late with an appt and you were late arriving?
Took my daughter to our family doc today - we were late a half hour but this doc is always at least an hour behind in seeing patients. I have been going to this doc for 15 years and love him. The last time I saw him I waited over two hours. The receptionist reminded me we were late (geez, as if I didn't know that already). I apologized and gave her the reason why. She then said "they would try to fit us in." After waiting for an hour, I asked when did she think we would be seen. Another 15 minutes went by and we were called by the nurse. After waiting in the exam room for over a half hour, I took my daughter's chart with a check for our co-pay, brought both to the checkout desk, and then left. I realize emergencies do come up but I feel my time is money as I work as an IC and with sitting and waiting for the doc to show up I'm losing money. I'm already thinking of changing docs but this one is exceptional. Maybe I just need to vent. Any opinions or similar experience?
School's right, late is late. However...
*if* these things were legitimately said, about your son and your "bad parenting" particularly, I doubt you would be here posting. You would be contacting the highest school official you could right now. It sounds like you are rallying support over feeling chastised and exaggerating, frankly.
As for the book report, if your son needs to do it instead of the play, he also needs to be able to approach the teacher. I find it unlikely a 2nd-grade teacher would assign a book report, then not explain it in any way. Most 2nd-graders are doing fill-in-the-blank book reports on forms the teacher provides. Is it likely your son should already know this?
About being late, it doesn't matter if your tire was flat or you drove in a fog or it takes you 40 minutes. Children are to be at school on time.
Stop making excuses. Get the children to school on time. If someone lost their cool at the school and said these things, you have legitimate grounds for taking the next step. You are wasting time and energy whining here.
If you are not happy with the school, take your children's education into your own hands and educate them yourself, via homeschooling. Then your children don't have to be in lock-step with all the other little soldiers the schools are raising in their institutional setting.
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!
Yes, it's fun. I waited until I had a little gray,
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.
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.
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.
Family is great but I am never back in my hometown where family is... So I always have extended fami
You can always pick your friends your stuck with your family. An Xmas for me is where my husband and kids come home to. It is what you make it!
Summer. Friends or family? Family. Tired or Awake?

Big difference between family values and family jewels, eh? lol
LOL. I love this show. I think Gene and Shannon and her sister are a riot! What characters. It really is amazing to me the kids seem so laid back and so normal. They seem like great kids.
Does your family still do the early Sunday dinner w/family?

got here a little late - but I can tell you why
she is doing it - it will only happen around mating season - she sees the reflection of herself in the door, grill, whatever - I have even known of hubcaps - and thinks it is a rival. It looks painful - but she will do it in anything she can see herself in.
Try this if not too late
Same kind of thing happened to me recently. Do you have access to an ATM? I went at 11:00 at night and deposited just enough (6 bux). It stopped a check from bouncing the next day. Maybe I just got lucky but couldn't hurt to try!
Never too late - sm
I am going back to school and I'm 39. I will be starting my first classes for winter quarter. Should have done it years ago but.... doing it now anyway.
I'm nervous and excited.
I say GO For It!
Take her to your PCP now before it's too late
Then have her committed to a drug rehab. This is going to be a long road but unless she gets away from the friends who do the drugs, she'll never get off of them. She needs help sounds like "yesterday" and I wouldn't hesitate to have my son or daughter tested and committed. Sorry you are experiencing this.
At least a "f-u" is something and she's not totally blocking you out, but she'll need your support.
I think Im late on this, but...
Why no culture and sensitivity? Thats just crazy. That should have come first and you would probably be better by now. Go and get it and get started on an appropriate antibiotic. I hope you feel better soon.
It only takes once.. and it's too late
Children have been severely injured and decapitated by passenger side airbags even at low-speed accidents. Google airbag, child, decapitation. I wouldn't chance it even once.
Sorry to get back to you so late, but
Noah was lying under a bunch of bricks, etc from the collapse. He was not awake.
I would hate to see him go. He is a cute kid. I like him. Yes, only soap world but feels like real life sometimes.
after first late check.
x
1st late check
Yes, but Dummy me signed a one year contract I could not get out of. Trust me, I was working THREE jobs to try to pay my bills.
Think it is a little late in the game
because at 22 she should already pretty much know how to manage. My daughter not only paid did all the bookkeeping for our family but had her own job, own car, own this and that, very self sufficient at that age. This is something you start prior to her age of 22.
Sorry, late when I posted
but I am talking about plants to grow inside that have some fragrance, nothing that takes a lot of babying because not much of a green thumb here. I have loads of green plants but just would like to have some really nice-smelling ones. At my previous home I had gardenia bush right outside my door and so sweet during the summer. Any ideas?
Well, it's never too late to fulfill
those fantasies. What are ya waiting for? lol
Two dogs and my late cat sm
My late cat's name was Mochi, which is a Japanese sticky, usually sweet, white rice. She looked like that when she was born, she was born in a Buddist temple alter, and was born after the New Year. My two dogs are Pili Pa'a which in Hawaiian sort of means stuck to you like a buddy and Hoku Kea which means white star (she is white and her name at the pound was Star).
Sorry to jump in late, but something else to try...
Massage therapy! I go every week, but during my PMS days (and I get it BAD!!) I make sure I tell my therapist (been going to her for over 4 years now and she really knows me) I am having PMS. She does some extra focus on my head and neck area for that session and I promise you it helps relax me more and does take some of it away. One time I went to her with severe cramps in tears and shaking with pain and they went away completely before I got off her table. She also tells me to focus on my breathing when I find myself getting bent out of shape. Easier said than done, I know. Best of luck to you. :-)
PS - I'm in my late 50s. (But feel 25).
;)
Diagnosed with this since the late 80s,
in fact I went in and told the doctor what to check for, had the classic symptoms, intense itching (waking me at night with urge to scratch), terrible coldness all the time, having to sit under blankets. Mine now has turned into Hashimoto's thyroiditis, I was told just a few months ago, thyroid totally gone. Now with the Synthroid, I told my physician did not want to take any more, loss of hair really bad, heard Synthroid noted for that. I asked and now on Armour thyroid and seems like loss is not as bad but still some. People on here have posted against Synthroid.
Sorry to chime in late, but YES! :-)
I have shipped cats from overseas when I moved, driven in the car 16 hours nonstop to get them to their new home, paid $1200 in a nonrefundable pet deposit, let my husband go to Guam for 15 months alone when he was in the military because I refused to put them in quarantine for 4 months, and spent probably 15K on a cat with chronic medical problems over a period of 4 years to name a few things, so I most definitely can relate with you. 
maybe a late bloomer? lol nm

As of late, "is in" always comes out..sm
"i sin" and the MS Word will change it to "I sin" - like I don't have to be reminded!
I can stay up as late as I want to - I go to bed between around 1:30 a.m.
I hated going to be early when I was little. Now 40 years later I'm rebelling.
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.
It's a little late but I would make
a ham, take it over and say that you got it for free for spending so much which most grocery stores do now. I would play stupid and say I wasn't sure if I could freeze it or not and didn't want it laying around. Takes both of you off the hook.
You came in late on this thread so I
do not expect you to understand what was said. The person said they had no work at her full time job but sitting waiting on it? Then there was a part time job and finally full time school. Well, duh, why starve to "wait on work to show up" or stay full time in school when you can put together 2, 3 or 4 jobs and then there is full time pay.
coming in late on this topic
I'm the grandma who has custody of grandchild. My custody papers allow 2 visits a months with the parents and more "as agreed to by both parties," but all are supervised and no overnight visits. I will not allow either parent into my home, so we were meeting at a fast food place with an indoor playground.
Because of suspected (and now admitted) drug use, I suspended visits until a clean drug test could be produced. In a few weeks, it will be a year. I talked to my lawyer about this before I suspended visits. I could not withhold visits due to failure to pay CS. I could be held in contempt of court and go to jail. However, since no judge is going to say it's okay for a parent on drugs to visit with the child, that is a different matter. In only 6 months, the parents are behind by $6k...I'll never see any of it.
My attorney told me the only way to withhold visits is if there is a situation that would place the child at risk - child abuse, parental drug abuse, sexual abuse, etc., otherwise you have to follow the court order or go back to court and ask the judge to revise the order with documentation of the reason for the request.
The noncustodial party can always go to court and ask for a revision of vistation as well to get more liberal visits.
Oh, I have a dirty mind or its late or
xx
I hate to say this, but you must be older. I am in my late 30s. We have 3 sm
kids together. They love him. Living away from their dad right now would tear all 3 boys apart. I am not staying because of "the kids." I am staying because I have hope of seeing change. I already "threw one man away" in my mid 20s because he "didn't make me happy." I'm starting to think it was the biggest mistake of my life. Heard he was a doll and completely romantic which my husband is not.
Anyway, I do think to my future - when the kids are 18 and older - then maybe, just maybe, I will be able to say,"okay, I've tried. You are a jerk, never changed, never will, I'm outta here." But I can't do that right now.
Right now I work PT. He works FT+. He keeps a roof over our head and we live a very comfortable lifestyle. I've already listed all the pros and cons and right now staying just makes more sense for everyone involved.
Besides, I'm no quitter. Yeah, he has issues. Yeah, I know there is a man out there who can make me completely happy. But then again if you were to ask my husband, he'd probably say I ain't no saint either! (forgive the grammar please).
I'll talk to you in 25 years and let you know where I am....
Late summer flowers
Maine is probably in the same zone as Siberia, so these may not work for you in Indiana.
My garden is now finally in full bloom, though we have not had the heat like the rest of the country and every day starts with fog. It is a very pleasant 75 degrees here right now and sunny.
Perennials currently blooming: Tall phlox, Rose of Sharon, butterfly bush, day lilies, yellow roses. Asters are loaded with buds. I put my indoor plants out for the summer and my Christmas cactus is huge and in full bloom!
Annuals: Geraniums, pansies (they came back full force after 'resting' in late June/July), inpatients, cosmos, trailing licorice, sunflowers, petunias, Helio double-pinks, phlox.
Sleeping too late in the morning.

update - sorry its late, had to work. sm
She's back in school and it will NOT go on her permanent record.
The super pulled the policies and confirmed that PEPPER SPRAY IS NOT LISTED as a weapon and may carry it with her as she has. That doesn't mean that the policies wont change but, until they do, she is okay to carry it.
This isn't about defiance as two harpies, I mean posters, would seem to suggest below. It's not about trying to get away with something. It's not about special treatment for "1" either. It's simply about SAFTEY.
If they don't have it listed on their list of "NOs," that's their problem. No doubt now, it will probably be amended in the future but that's beside the point.
Those two of you who have a bad case of nasties might also be interested to have pointed out to YOU that the teacher who confiscated the pepper spray in the first place physically assaulted my daughter by legal definition by putting her hands on her without her consent.
I didn't say a thing about that because my daughter wasn't hurt and didn't think it was a big deal but as YOU stated "I am sure knows about the rules of her school," the same goes for the teachers who are not to lay their hands on students. One of you commented "You cannot have 1 rule for 1 and 1 for the others." Same goes for teachers. DONT TOUCH! My daughter did not threaten her in any way and should not have been forcibly escorted to the office by her arm.
By the way, a family friend who is also a police officer (who I'm sure is familiar with the law) suggested the pepper spray for her protection.
Whoever asked where we got the bear keychain, we bought it at the local Home Show last year at one of the booths. I haven't seen anything like it since but if I run across it again this year, will pick up some more and let you know.
I think it was late, and she was tired and worrying (sm)
Things always seem worse in the middle of the night to me!
Love doing that when I am running late and
need to fix something quick.
