Boxes Lie

So as my room mates were out of the house all day today, I thought it was a good opportunity to color my hair. I wouldn't do that with them around (she's probably fine with it but not too sure about him) because I think that it's stinky with an industrial smell.

So I got out the hair coloring stuff-in-a-box which I'd bought about a month ago. When you buy this stuff, the only indication of the color is a pic on the front of it of some woman with absolutely stunning hair.

I always feel like Goldilocks from the 3 bears story. Nah, this one is too light, that one is too dark. Yes! Yes! This one is just right! And away you go to look just like that luscious babe on the front of the box.

So if you follow the directions on the box, you proceed to gather up an old towel, put on these wonderful gloves which come in the box, twist the tip off of the applicator and then remove the applicator from bottle "A". Then you carefully pour in the entire bottle of "instantly make you look like a gorgeous babe from the front of the box" stuff into bottle "A". Tightly cover the tip with one's gloved finger and shake it until the house rumbles like something about 8.2 on the Richter scale. And proceed to pour this elixir from the fountain of youth onto your head, whilst covering one's shoulders with the before mentioned old towel. To protect your clothes.

Well, nobody was home. So why wear clothes from the waist up if I have to cover them with an old towel anyway? I mean, really?

So you end up looking like a drowning rat with this gunk (but it's from the Fountain of Youth, remember?) all over your hair. And you still have no idea what color this stuff really is. Except that it's "Luscious Babe Blonde #08, Warm".

So you let it (Cook, as my previous totally Gay Hairstylist used to say) soak it for 25 minutes to turn you into that Blonde Babe #08. You still have no idea what color the good ol' fountain bestowed upon you. Then rinse it out and voila!

It wasn't the right color. No I'm not saying that I don't like it but it surely didn't make me look like Babe #08. I have this super baby fine hair that's totally unmanageable. Like, if somebody farts 5 rooms away you'll see my hair blowing in the wind. But being so fine it actually looks like I have a real bad thinning issue on top because you can pretty much see right through the hairs. Now I look like I have a full head of hair.

But still not exactly like Luscious Blonde Babe #08, Warm.

HI Caitlin,

You know what color I picked out. We're twins! And it's pretty smart to get hair color that's the same as the skin color. Those wispy places don't show as much!

We have hairspray that will take care of that flyaway hair (mine has a pilot's license - I know). Makes your hair feel like a helmet, but it stays right where you put it! Today, we revisited the hair salon while the soulmate got her hair primped. And her hairdresser sold us an oil. A drop of that magic stuff makes the dry ends come to life! We'll treat you to some next time we're together!

You know, luscious babe #08 has nothing on you - I hear her personality is totally flat. no heart, no zest. I bet she's not even on estrogen.

Have a great week, luscious babe #08.1....

Love, Meg

Oh, thanks for the offer! But maybe I should refrain due to all of the gunk I'm already putting on my head (Nioxin, monoxidil). I think that it's about long enough that I can prolly get some kind of style done in a couple of weeks.The Doctor Emmett Brown from "Back to the Future" look may fit my personality but I can't see pulling that one off with boobs. Unless I introduce myself as Doctor Caitlin Brown of course!

Ah ha!

I color my hair, too....(I'm 61 and have gray slippin' in there...)

But your final result will depending on the color that you started with......

If a blond and a brunette use the very same hair color...the results will be very different!

G'luck

      Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender.  Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with.   In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines.  Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally.  I can't see some of them standing up in court.  In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court.    Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line.  Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people.   People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements.  Overall, I support it.  Of course, I have some reservations.

      It is unfamiliar, therefore threatening.   For 90% or so of the population, gender id can be simply and quickly determined by a quick anatomical observation.  They have no understanding and cannot imagine what it would mean to have a body different from the id.  It is unimaginable.  Therefore, wrong.   So there is this strong headwind.   I haven't entered this discussion, but here is a script: A: I can't imagine what it must be to have TG. B: You're a man, right? A: Well, of course. "amused" B: Imagine you were required by law and custom to wear women's clothing all the time. A: It wouldn't happen. B: Okay, but for the sake of the argument... A: That would be disgusting.  I would be very uncomfortable. B: You have it.  That is what TG people go through all the time. 24-7-365. A: Really? B: And then they are told they are perverts for having those feelings.  The same you just described. A: I see. B: And someone comes along and tells you you need conversion therapy so you will be comfortable wearing women's clothing all the time. A: I think I would break his nose. B: You understand transgender folk better than you think.

      I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator...    I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far...

      Best wishes to you as you take this step ... many blessings to you!

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.

      Other than the Boy Scout motto, oath, and law. I use two:   When asked how I'm doing? In all honesty I reply. I would have to make something up to complain. If asked to explain further: I reply. I know someone is having a tougher time than I am, and I pray God blesses them.   I also recite this quote that I have tagged in my signature: Courage, doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."-Unknown    Saying these things daily keep me motivated.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      If this goes on, I am conceding the real possibility of being stopped in WM or somewhere by a concerned citizen who tells me, "Lady, God made you female.  I don't think you should be trying to look like a man. You need to return to your true gender and be comfortable living your life out as a woman."   Begin odd and awkward conversation.  I have been thinking about this this morning.

      There are many MAGA GOP types who are not transphobes, of course. Some MAGA GOP types are transgender.

      I'm hoping to read the next section today.  Many of the reforms they are calling for are good, such as expediting the military procurement process, and have nothing to do with transgender issues.

      Good afternoon,    I have a young friend who is vegetarian and married to a full on meat eater. They have two areas of their grill clearly designated for their different cooking requirements. When she’s cooking she uses tongs or chopsticks to handle any meats. When he’s cooking he respects her request not to cook her meals on the side where meat has been. They get along fine and respect each other.    When she attends our house, she usually brings her own food, but knows I will clean my grill to meet her requirements. We love and respect her commitment to be vegetarian. I love that she trusts me to make her comfortable when visiting us. There are ways to make it work.    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
