lunch. I ate at Quiznos today and got really annoyed by the line on my credit card slip for a tip. It's a fast food deli! It's not even a locally owned deli. (Keep Austin Weird!) I am with the author on this one. Why the hell are we tipping for services we already paid for?!? And if these people are asking for tips for reasons other than supporting the business or supplementing the lower than minimum-wage income of the employees, it's not a tip. It's charity! Let's call it what it is and if you're brave enough to ask for charity money, be brave enough to explain where my hard-earned money is going.

Okay - I'm through with my rant.

Curly hair is complicated.

You two don't know how lucky you are. Thin, stringy, perfectly straight, mousey hair is the pits. At least you can fluff yours up, put it in a band and pretend like you planned it. I'm not thin enough for a comb over, but I'm afraid someday I will be. I had a good friend in Fla. who was that thin. She wasn't old or unhealthy so I don't know why it was so thin and fine, but she made me feel like I had a lot of hair. That's why I hung out with her...:heh: Not really. She was very cool. I have always noticed that people with curly want straight and people with straight want curly.

:faint:

You are right about wanting what you don't have. All my family are very curly and I am actually the least curly of the bunch. My mum wore her hair in something like an Afro for a number of years. What upset me was being a blondie. Both my parents and one of my brothers were brunettes and I happen to find brunettes most attractive. Unfortunately for me I am a total genetic recessive - a strawberry blondie with blue eyes. And I inherited the fatty gene. :angry It's a bluddy good thing that I inherited charm, intelligence, a good sense of humour, as well as money. :heh: :heh: :heh:

Well la-dee-freakin' da! You must be feeling a little better Green, you're getting feisty!

What I'm wondering is... will you adopt me??

In a New York minute, girl!

Don't get me wrong, I love my curly hair. (Well, now that it's short enough that it doesn't really tangle badly, I love it. When it was long, it was horrid.) I just wish I could get it to style. One of my old hairdressers tried to style it one day, in a popular style, and it looked absolutely HORRIBLE.

I deal with mine by using lots of product and never, ever brushing/combing it. I run my fingers through mine is all. Brushing/combing leads to it turning into a giant fuzz ball.

I comb mine when I first come out of the shower. Other than that, it doesn't happen.
