Elmo, I love your shades, especially the bright colours. I have a shade of fuscia sitting in my bathroom, I fully intended to use it but then got a new job at the start of the year as a supervisor in an army mess...so stuck with my natural colour for now. I've got wavy/curly blonde hair, used to be white blonde but it has gradually darkened to a honey blonde and have had it down to my butt most of my life. Decided to get it cut when I couldn't dye it and so off it went to above shoulder height! I'm still getting used to it and miss my long hair. Everyone seems to love my short hair though. It just doesn't feel like me.
Dark that's terrible, oldies can be very insensitive! My sister did announcement cards for our family when she found out she was pg with #2....my grandparents we're appalled. How dare they tell them like that! You aren't married! You are a burden on your parents! We're so disgusted and you have no idea how much stress you are causing us! This was all said when my sister called to ask if they'd checked their mail box. She was a hysterical mess. My parents were fuming. They invited my sister and her OH to live with them so they could afford to save and have kids at the same time, it's a great arrangement. My grandparents never apologised but carried on like normal...my family has just decided over the years to roll our eyes at their insensitive little comments and outbursts and turn them into funny stories we talk about later. They're swiss and have strong accents which makes the re-telling even funnier (nothing against swiss people of course, as as I am half).
AFM...Just had my NT blood test. Earlier had a dingo in our yard (we live rural) sniffing after one of our big girl's who's in heat. I was only wearing a football jersey, no bra or knickers but totally forgot and ran out chasing it. My 2 little girls (Fox Terrier and Jack Russell) came bolting out of the house after it like demon dogs from hell. Got to the back fence and there was a pack of 3 waiting there. My little's were still going off at them....the wild dogs had no idea what to do, they kinda barked back but then ended up running off. Meanwhile, Stella, who's in heat and our other big girl Bam just stood behind the little ones doing nothing. My little girls are the family protectors, that's what they think anyway. The dingo's lure their prey (small pets normally) out of their yard to their pack, normally under the pretence of wanting to play. Then they grab them and run off. It's awful. OH slept through the whole ordeal, even me screaming down the yard like a banshee haha
