Rose--I've been coloring my hair for years & have never had that problem. Sounds like your hair just doesn't want to be colored.

Good morning all!

Rose - I can't dye my hair either. Mine does the same thing. I found that when I used the Perfect10 it did it the worst on me.

lolcat - I wish I could help in some way. DH and I are just barely getting by on the skin of our teeth right now. None of us want to see you go. Will they honestly make you go if you have a new baby and everything too?!? I can't believe that . And, it's great that you're going to have that baby soon. I wish I was in the same boat. Then I could breathe again!!

I was just checking in. Hope everyone has a great day!!

Morning all.

Rose - I have the same problem with perms. I have straight hair (we're talking straight as a ruler). When I was young, my Mom hated my straight hair, so would do a home perm on it (I was about 12 or so). This is how it would play out. Day 1 - tight tight Shirley Temple type curls. Day 2 - nice wave. Day 3 - light wave. Day 4 - dead straight. My Mom would force me to undergo this twice a year, thinking it was the weather, time of year, brand used to get the curls in, etc. The last time I had a perm was when I was 16 - $60 in a salon (I just about had a herat attack, I was stingy even then) - it lasted 3 days. I went back to the salon to show them & they insisted I had done something to straighten it - perms don't come out that easily. At least that convinced my Mom it was just my goofy hair. Of course, then she bought me a crimper for xmas. At least that would last for a couple of hours - good through dinner & half way through a show. I never tried to dye my hair, I can only imagine what it would do to dye.


Lolcat - talk to the women's groups again - you don't want money from them (although that would be nice), you want them to use their media contacts, & they should have some. You want the story to be about the evil US insurance company (tied closely with the mixed up banking system that just went kerplunk) is causing you all this grief. & because of their evil greed, a 9 months pregnant woman is being deported. And she's American! And she's a nurse!

Did you ever contact the hospital board of directors? They should be informed of their billing dept which took its own sweet time contacting you about outstanding bills. If they took the insurance company info as the source of payment when you went into hospital, they should have known then that they weren't gonna get their money & should not have let you leave without presenting you with a bill. Their error, they can deal with the consequences. You gave them the insurance company's info in good faith - they should have informed you in a timely manner, not years after the fact. Insist on an extension to repaying the debt, which you are doing in good faith, even tho it's their screw-up. Maybe contact their fundraising dept & mention that their donors might not be too keen on this story getting out of how incompetent their billing dept is.

I'm off to go get some groceries, even tho I'd rather stay in bed. Got a weird pain in my right side. Had it for 2 days now. Can't figure out if it's related to this silly cough that doesn't wnnna go away (the spot hurts when I cough) or if I bruised a rib when I was tossing and turning in bed (I've been bruised by my comforter before, so who knows).

Have a good day all!

lolcat, I really hope everything works out for you. Anything a person can do to help I will try and help.

Rose, when i dye my hair red, I have that same problem not sure why doesnt do it with any other color other then red.

hmm so its either my hair or the hair colour LOL but the salon dye job did the same thing and you would expect a super expensive dye job to stay in compared to a $14 dye job LOL but both seem to be washing out the same amounts cause I went through this when I got home from toronto too
maybe I will have to try henna if I want permanent LOL

lolcat is having contractions fairly close together so they told her to get her ass to the hospital just in case, so, depending on what happens, she might be having a baby tonight.

Hi all.

Thanks for the new words!

The brats are in a lazy mood today, can't seem to convince the dog to do her chores.

Any updates on Lolcat? Been thinking about her.

It's warm & humid here, looks like summer might actually be here in Toronto. I'm tempted to take a nap with the brats, but I'm afraid if I blink summer will be gone.

Have a great day, everyone!

I called lolcat's place a little while ago and there was no answer so will try later today to see if I can get an update

[NSangel]

i was thinking of calling tommorrow. i hope her tom knows how to leave a msg here

i can't scroll back, too lazy. wot trouble is rose having with her hair, not wanting to color. going lighter or darker? my hair won't perm because of the amt of iron in it. they say that's usually a problem with ppl on well water. but i'm not. but the papers turn purple wich is a sign of iron content. rose, try using a salon brand clarifying shampoo the day before u color. it takes out all the built up gunk (and good for iron too). oh ya, and put a plastic cap on your head (or a bag wotever). it holds the heat in and allows the chemicals to penetrate.

if your going darker, you'll find the color washes out because your just coating the hair, when ur going lighter, your actually bleaching it out. keep in mind that reds fade quickly. need a special shampoo for those.

after 20+ years i am trying NOT to color my hair, it has been so damaged it was matted. thankgod for sunsilk, helped alot. but my hair is coarse/wiry anyway. i only dyed it to get rid of that white skunk stripe i got. which everyone tells me is so cool. riiiight.. i think i look like that idiot designer in beetlejuice...
