    The general decline in standards today

    I agree with you, but that isn't what anyone was trying to say. These observations have come from men formerly in the service and from military wives and girlfriends (Rue and myself, respectively) who have seen or heard of it firsthand. The idea is one thing, but the execution is different...

    The Middy Thread

    I had a tight permanent done about 6 years ago to help hold a curl, and it was fine with large rollers to create big curls. The only problem was that I absolutely had to set it, or it would look and feel terrible, and once it hit the humidity, it frizzed right up. My suggestion: go for...

    The general decline in standards today

    That's a good point - I believe it's part of a man's psychological make-up. I can imagine it would be heightened in combat, especially since military men are trained to protect people, and in my experience, are very protective of their female family members and wives/girlfriends.

    The general decline in standards today

    I've thought about this, but do you think it becomes more equal with the use of weaponry? Although people come in all shapes in sizes, women are generally built very differently than men in terms of muscle mass, dexterity, etc. but anyone can be trained to use a gun.

    When is giving advice crossing the line?

    Bump! This is a good discussion. One time, I walked by MAC and started chatting to one of the ladies I'm friendly with. She was wearing this great shocking pink lipstick - The only thing was, some had gotten on her teeth. I leaned in close and told her as quietly as I could that some of her...

    He hasn't signed on since that happened, otherwise his profile would show it. I miss him, he was funny and very astute!

    Husband accidently chucks out $50,000 worth of jewellery!

    Bill, I remember reading that there was a record of Rideau Hall's possession of these items - Buckingham Palace would never loan out royal belongings without one - and this is how they recovered them. ETA: Yes, I found the canoe.ca article which spells it all out. Only the Queen's baskets were...

    Show Us Your Tattoos

    You know something, I think I prefer her in black and white. I have two other coloured tattoos, and besides, I think colour on her may reduce the effect of the shadowing.

    This is true. Those who wanted to fight as soon as the war started came here.

    The White Stripe: a hair dilemma

    I'm trying to decide whats happening with Rita Hayworth's hair. In this picture, she appears to have a Mallen streak: But in other photos of the same session, it isn't there. The only other similar photo is this colour one, though it isn't white: ...And no other photo of her shows it...

    Vintage 1950's Christmas Festivities

    This reminds me of the scene in A Christmas Story when Mr. Parker plugs his lamp into a mess of about eight different surge protectors in one outlet: "The snap of a few sparks, a quick whiff of ozone, and the lamp blazed forth in unparalleled glory."

    The general decline in standards today

    Thank-you very much for explaining that to me. Canada has been "the great escape" for many groups of people throughout the years lol That's a fascinating story! I suppose he would have to vote against his own bill to save face.

    Oh yes, especially if you're like me and have a penchant for shoes that cost as much as LMH2's wife's hair costs lol

    The Middy Thread

    Not a problem. By top hair, she means the section directly on top of your head that extends backward from the arches of your eyebrows to the back of the head. Check out my tutorial or Turudich's diagram to get a visual. :) I hope so! With the real short layers, I cop out and use the flatiron :p

    Who has used Dippity Do?

    I used it when I was about 16 to make my hair stand up. That stuff is strong. I had never thought of using it as a setting aide, but it might work. If you do, like the other ladies said, use just a little, because it definitely gets crispy, and get the regular hold - never the strong holds...

    The general decline in standards today

    I quite agree with you. Many people today would be surprised to hear a young woman like me say so, but I don't think it's old fashioned, I think it's common sense. It's wonderful that women can now choose any career or lifestyle they want (financial circumstances allowing): doctor, lawyer...

    You guessed it. I'm going to nag the boyfriend to buy me some more gourmet cupcakes. Any frustration he experiences, I'll blame on you guys ;) Hoosier, that was a mean low down dirty trick :p Oh and speaking of, I bought this glorious candle from Bath and Body Works. Its hot chocolate...
