Ahoy polloi (an island for the masses)

[Murphy47]

I'm so sorry about your husband! Is he better? Whenever I take DH to the hospital....<sigh>...it's hours of terror that seems to follow me all week.

That sign is hysterical. I guess they want smokers to snub out their butts in the ashtray--and not leave them on the ground--before they come closer to the hospital. They're probably counting on the fact that smokers will take notice of an available ashtray before they notice a sign. Still it is ironic.

Hope everything is well for your DH!

I wish that was the case. I smoke and I can't stand people who leave butts everywhere.

I don't know about the hairdressers in your area but in mine, they ALL have very trendy first names...
Not their real ones in my opinion...

I have no idea about their names.

I have seen this hairstyle.
Didn't know it had a name. [emoji24]

Hehehe. Well, I do not know how this hairstyle is called officially.

Oldest DD came back from London with nasty virus. Shared it with hubbie apparently. Just needed some meds.
Never saw doctor. Hubbie stomped out of waiting room after 4 hours. Can't blame him. Ridiculous wait times.

I am very happy, that your hubbie is fine. Ugh. Waiting hours. Don't know why they have to be this ridiculous all over the world.
Did you get a bear charm from your Londoners? Or only a nasty virus for hubbie?

Only nasty virus.
They did bring me back a lovely ornament from Bath.
Prepping for ice storm here today.
Wish it was spring.

Sling bob? Would this be the Kate Gosselin circa 2007? Now known as the "can I speak to your manager" cut?
Sooo not suitable to thick wavy hair as it would sproing everywhere.

Insane. Was flying daily then--wearing headset with uncontrolled, massive hair slings drove me nuts. New stylist, 2-3 days later, fixed it.

It is a mo smoking sign: ATTACHED to an ASH TRAY.
Hilarious.

Wonder if we are given these "gems of wtf" to help ease hard things?
Gifts from the moron gods.
When most needed.
Hope hubby improves. Flu is bad here, too.
Had my dance with its coughing nonsense. As did man.

Here, hair stylists have hair that I call "exploded badger". Short hair standing in all directions and dyed in black and a pop colour like purple.

Exploding badger--brilliant
I should ask for this:

My current stylist refuses to bleach hair to very popular silver-blue tone.
Because says process destroys it. And not worth risking her reputation to do.
Like her. Has red hair & a normal name.

Yep. I have long hair, because I am lazy.

Ironic--same reason I have short hair!

Good to see many island newcomers.
Many already known, elsewhere in forums.
Hello!

Shop owner assured girls it's virtually unbreakable. Made in manner of old timey fishing float. Very cool.

It's the same here. People wait for hours.
Your DD must have caught the flu in London.
Nothing to do really, just take paracetamol, drink a lot and have rest.
And next year.... think about the vaccine...

He GOT the vaccine. Prolly what's making him so aggravated.

Hmmm. Maybe this haircut is a special feature of hair stylists?
@BigPurseSue - I do cut my hair myself, too. Most of time I need to visit my friend afterwards. Because it has several awkward lengths. Yep. I have long hair, because I am lazy.

Ludmilla....Today is Thursday..
Did you go to the boutique?

 

[Mariapia]

He GOT the vaccine. Prolly what's making him so aggravated.

When did he get it?
Here lots of people got it too late. I mean you have to wait about two weeks after the shot to be protected from the virus.
Doctors ( they are on TV all day at the moment because of that epidemics) say that if you got the vaccine and yet catch the flu, it will be .... a light version of the disease.

Like all shots, sometimes they work sometimes they don't.

Viruses mutate. And become resistant to current vaccines.
Smart viruses.
