**Hermes Chat**

[pursecrzy]

Keratin lasts 3-6 months. Since hair grows about an inch a month, your front and shorter layers are the first to go frizzy.

Being from Brooklyn, I am no stranger to Big Hair. There are several very embarrassing photos from my youth where you could bounce a sofa off of my head.

BTW, Purse - the ABL vibes totally worked. Phone interview went well.

Great!

Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Re big hair- you had to have it to balance the giant shoulder pads!

Hi, here in Florida where it's pretty nice out. Looking for my first Hermes.

Welcome to chat!

What are you looking for?

Shulamit - can you send some nice weather up north? Welcome to Chat!

ABL strikes again! Box o' bags safely at Ann's.

Now for the Winky diagnosis...

Anytime BBL!
It's really easy to use. Put cold milk into it and press a button. It turns itself off after 90 seconds. You can remove the whisk part to make less foam (I'm not a foam fan).

The drawback is you need to clean it after each use.

I don't mind the cleaning part. The problem I have with the Kuerig is that it is so darned difficult to clean. Actually it is downright impossible to clean. It makes me crazy because the grounds collect in a place that I can't clean.
And, I'm not a clean freak. Far from it.

Avril-You are so sweet. I really don't mind caring for my grandmother, although there are days were I want to lose my mind. It is alot of work. I try to be a nice, good, caring person but I don't know. I have days where I'm not so nice.

I love the story about your nana. It's wonderful. It's nice to have a reminder of our loved ones.

Pug*shoes-can't wait to see your new goodies!!

IL-Happy New Year!

ATG-That person is a MORON!! What a low class JERK!

OB-I cannot believe those guys on the plane with your friend and her toddler. That is so wrong.

What is wrong with people these days.

EB-You are too kind. I can't imagine what it must be like to be raising teenagers. I work with some teenagers and they are alot of work!!

Nurse-I'm not a saint, not at all. But thanks! I'm glad you met your thesis groups guidance professor and that you like her. That is fantastic!

CMB-Thanks for the info on the coffee machines. Still haven't decided which one to get. I love starbucks!!! It's an addiction that place. You are such a wonderful friend. I'm sure it's hard for your friend, she was lucky to have him for so long. I think the longer we have someone, the hard it is. My grandmother is going to be 87 this month. I can't even imagine her not being here.

Restricter- do you like the Keratin? My friend did it and hated it. She said it made her hair so flat and she has thin hair to begin with. I have huge hair and I LOVE IT!

Glad your interview went well.


Ok so I'm freaking out a bit, we were just told (I'm at work) that there is a big staff meeting at 5pm. We never have meetings at 5pm. I wonder what this will be about...I don't think it's layoffs. I think my boss is leaving. That's my guess.

Mree - sending you ABL vibes for your meeting.

I love Keratin treatments. I think it depends on what brand of treatment your stylist uses (mine uses a brand called Prevanna) and how it's applied (she roller sets my hair to give it body). My hair is so much more manageable with the Keratin. Now all I have to do is remind my stylist not to cut my bangs so effing short... I was looking like Sonic the Hedgehog for a few weeks after my last cut.

I know you haven't been happy there. Would boss leaving be a good thing or a bad thing? Any idea who would replace them?

 

[thenurse]

Yeah, I'm not having an easy time either.

I am sure if anyone can do it, it is you. And I am sending Winky good thoughts. Your gut is right. It is just an infection.

Mree: Thanks! Good luck! It is probably nothing.

BBL: Awwww. Your puppies hug you? That is adorable.

Well my day was made; waiting for a pal outside the restroom at Target with her loaded shopping cart & some guy angrily shoves around me & 'whispers' "F#@& that fat B!^@# ! Blocking the whole aisle" - Nice.

Time for a piece of chocolate!

:boxing: Unbelievable! What has happened to a simple excuse me? Common decency is just not common, unfortunately that goes for common sense too!

ATG you are nicer than me since you didn't say anything, (and I applaud you for that), I would have said something like, oh, I didn't know your Mom was here, (yo' mama is still a classic) and then I would have hoped he said she's not, I was talking about you, so I could tell him oops I just figured it had to be your Mom as I know an angry, insensitive jack wagon like yourself couldn't get laid in a whorehouse so I knew you weren't talking about a girlfriend or wife. (well I guess that would only work if I could see he wasn't wearing a wedding band), LOL really this is just the first thing that popped into my head, if I had saw him in person I am sure I could have thought of something better! :devil:

Sorry for your experience ATG, I know it is easier said then done but don't waste time thinking or caring about people like that, feel great that you were the better person!

 

[thenurse]

Laney!!! You crack me up.

 

[cakeymakeybakey]

I just met my thesis groups guidance Professor. She is such a lovely lady. Love her!

So glad for this good news, nurse! Your thesis advisor is a really important person in your educational career. When you have a good rapport, the process is great.

Oh, and you can come visit and drink my coffee anytime, anywhere!

 

[ouija board]

Restricter, yahoo for the good interview and box o bags arriving!! Now for the trifecta...negative biopsy for Winky.

All this talk about coffee makers is making me renew my search for a replacement. Ours is from DH's college days, so needless to say, it's time.

I have a nomination for COO of Massengil. It's my mentee, the same person who gave me the face scrub for my birthday.

This missive just appeared in my text messages:

"Hi, Happy New Year. Sorry I have not been in touch. I was stressed about your gift but I finally found something that I feel good about and can afford."

Now I'm not going to be able to sleep because a bazillion scathing responses keep coming to mind.

I find that an odd text because from what I know of you I think the thought would mean more to you than the dollar amount spent on a gift. It's too bad she doesn't know that about you.

 

[cakeymakeybakey]

Good Morning everyone!

Dropping in before I begin decluttering again. I am in bedroom #4 though. It's all downhill from there.

Restricter- I have no advice re the mentee.

CMB- good luck at the vet today! Sending healthy vibes to Mugshot and Doger~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When you get done with your bedrooms, purse, you can head on over here and launch into mine...

Thanks for the vibes! I just got back and put Mugshot on some pre-emptive antibiotics for the facial punctures, and Dodger got a Lepto vaccine and some Benadryl. They both got a spritz with this new miracle anticmicrobial/anti-infective spray called Vetericyn VF. Kills everything, including MRSA. A small spray bottle is 30 bucks, but a good thing to keep on hand for future possum strikes...
