Plei, I want to start using henna. Any suggestions? I've developed an allergy to the chemical dyes, and they're ruining my hair. My hair's naturally v. dark brown with undertones of red, and now about 40% grey. The last dye job was way too dark. I'm thinking of dying it red from now on, so that the gray will become red and the black will stay black. It'll either look cool and strange, or just weird and awful.
Henna will make the grey very coppery. You can probably start switching right away -- I would suggest doing what I did when I switched, which is henna applications once a week or so for three weeks until the color build up blends things in. Keep in mind, the color will continue to deepen for about 3 days after application.
I mentioned to DH that I was thinking of chopping all my hair off (easier to color, off my neck, etc) and he made his usual noncomittal noise. I finally pressed him into an opinion - he swears up and down that I've *always* known he likes long hair (but doesn't want to tell me what to do with mine). I'm still pretty sure this was the first time he's told me out loud.
I love the stripey corset! I wonder how something like that would look over a white dress for the elopement. I keep putting off buying something because I keep thinking I'll lose weight.
sj, if you've got the right body type to rock a Trashy Diva dress (which you surely do, as you proved on Prom night), IMO you almost certainly have the right body type to rock a corset too, even if you never lose an ounce.

Yeah, if anything, corsetry means never having to say "I can't choose this unless I lose this bit right here". Plus, as we all know, hawt.

In my head, this looks FANTASTIC!
Shit. Malachi (my younger cat, he of the inappropriate bladder usage) has large amounts of protein in his urine. No bacteria, no blood, no signs of infection. Just protein. Lots of protein. More than last round of pee testing (when he had protein but also a UTI.) It might be nothing, or it might be progression towards renal failure. Should have blood results tomorrow.
eta: i don't know if i'm more worried about him or my own inner compass. Right now, i see two options.
1)He is fine, just a jerk, i put him on antianxiety meds and deal with the constant issues we've been going through since i adopted him last year.
2)He is seriously not at all fine and there is a strong possibility of having to have him put down.
The part that worries me? I don't have a strong preference right now between those two choices. I should obviously want #1, but there is a part of my mind that would relish starting over with a new cat who doesn't enjoy peeing on my bed while i sleep in it. I love him, but he's made my life very very very aggravating lately.

Uh, hot? Yes. Hot.
Thanks for the advice, Plei, that's good to know. Coppery red should be fine, considering that's the natural haircolor of half my family anyway.
oh, dear, erin. ~~ma for your kitty.
Eep, Erin. I hope it's nothing.
