I go to the beauty supply store and buy my color in bulk, L'Oreal Light Auburn 6.6 and I buy their (L'Oreal) cream developer.  You use equal parts (if you use 2 oz of color you have to use 2 oz of ANY cream developer - doesn't have to be L'oreal's) and you have to section (just like the OLD way of doing it) your hair in quarters first and apply color to the 4 sections you have just created, and then 1/4 inch sections from there to apply the color to each very thin section - to the roots first for 25 minutes and then you bring it all out for 15 more minutes IF it's a touch-up.  If it's the first time you are ever applying color, you have to leave it on everywhere for 45 minutes!!  There's also an 800 number on their (L'Oreal) products for any help you need with live operators! 

L'Oreal does still test on animals I do believe, and that's a shame, but their color (end result) just seems to be the best, in my opinion, and for decades I have thought this.  Many are trying to get them to quit testing on animals though, and I support that also!

Also it's one-quarter the price buying the color directly from Sally's Beauty Supply (any beauty supply store) versus the combo box that is sold in the grocery store or pharmacy (that's about $9 for a one application combo in my area versus $2.69 per each 2 oz bottle of color from Sally's).

Hope that helps (HTH) 

Especially, after hearing them over and over again from people who think they're being "clever".  In addition, I don't know how many times people have told me to prove that I'm a real blonde.  Like they can't tell from my eyebrows.  Duh, really funny and so original.  I've never heard that one before.

We blondes do have to overcome the stereotype.  People think we're stupid or promiscuous just because we're blonde.  Scoff all you want to, but it's true.  No, we don't have it as tough as minorities do at all, but nobody ever takes us seriously either.  I'd give examples of real life discrimination and harrassment in the workplace, but why bother?  Everyone just thinks they're being funny or clever.

At first the box stuff worked pretty good. Now I have a huge "skunk stripe" on the left side of my forehead and I'm starting to grow another "skunk stripe" on the left side.

After a while the box stuff only calms down the different texture of the white stuff for a few weeks so if you wear a few bangs, you need to cut them to match after dying. 3 weeks later the bangs with the white stuff are suddenly a good half inch shorter again.

Needless to say, for the time being I have the "off the forehead"  look that makes my head look like two breakdown lanes on a highway.

I'm saving my money. The initial shock for the "makeover" is scary, but my 2 sisters told me to go for it as the upkeep isn't too bad at all. They would both be snow white in their late 40's if it weren't for visits to the salon.

I'm headed in the same direction and I'm early 40's. My husband, who went white by 38, told me to just go natural.

I told him to kiss my natural behind.

so I believe it's from having TOO MUCH ON YOUR PLATE.....*l* - really, more responsibilities, more things to remember......all that stuff.....so who would remember typing the report.

What's great is....if someone down the road ASKED you about that certain report(s), MQ, QA, or an MD's office....you'd most certainly remember it......*LOL*

So, it's only the short-term memory that is affected FIRST *l* - that and the eyes.......first to go *rofl* 

I have an account that asks that I  not use subcontractors but for vacation it is okay and I know if I had a two week illness or something they would be okay with it but for everday use, they don't want anyone but me.  But again, I only work with verbal contracts and I know that means I could be let go at any time but so could they.  I have asked my accounts every year for the past seven to ten years if they want a contract and they say no need for it.  So we just keep on plugging along with each other. 

I read in the TV book a story about this season of the Sopranos and they did say Tony does get knocked off....but Uncle Jr is the only one in the house, completely flipped out, and Carmela is out and about but about to get in her new car and drive home.  I'm thinking that Tony dies and she has got that new car and perhaps the police will think she had motive to kill him........ohno....

Uncle Jr is totally *out to lunch* at the moment in my opinion. 

Thanks for the optimism though!!! 

I usually refer to BOS and it states to add the year if not stated -  if you are sure of the year.  Also - interestingly enough - it says if you are doing long dictation and doc says labs done on April 4, 2006 are.........and then says additonal labs 4/5.... okay to used slashed date - this is on page 121 of BOS edition 2 if you are interested.   That being said don't think you would be WRONG to leave off the year if it is verbatim account :))

I have an HMO for Small Business Owners.  I also have homeowner's insurance and I have my computers fully stealthed (per HIPAA laws) so no crackers/hackers can gain access.  Actually I have many programs protecting all this medical record stuff.  But I thought homeowner's covered the professional liability insurance when we own our homes and work from home (?)

Oh well, I am sure that Florida will be one of the last states to change over for MTs.  *lol* - perhaps by then, I'll be out of the business/retired/permanent vacation...isn't THAT wishful thinking now?!...HAHAHAHA

Got no help on word board.  Running out of time.

Thanks in advance
