Well, I have a conair flat iron and it's basically a piece of crap lol, so I've been looking into getting a new one. I don't wan't to buy another piece of crap so I need some advice. I've heard alot of good things about the Chi and Sedu flat irons but I just can't afford them right now. So I came across one from Babyliss. This one to be exact: http://www.discountbeautycenter.com/Appl...

Has anyone used this brand before? %26amp;%26amp; how did it work? I have medium length, wavy hair that's incredibly frizzy lol. Any adive would help me out soooo much. %26amp;%26amp; Please don't tell me to get the Chi or Sedu or other expensive ones. Because I can't. THANKS!!! =)

Flat Irons...PLEASE READ!?

I understand where you are coming from....but I really should caution you on the discount baby bliss iron. I think baby bliss is a good brand. I don't understand why it is so cheap on this site. Unless it is refurbished or just plain used. I would caution you in buying this I would hate to see you buy it and then it doesn't work or stops right after a few days ....Is there anyway you could save your money for a few weeks and get a good new one with a warranty ....I am gonna send you a site where you can look at alot of different brands and they carry baby bliss as well. And you would have a warranty and if something happened you wouldn't be stuck.

I wish you the best~~~

Never heard of that one but ceramic flat irons tend to be the best for your hair.

Flat Irons...PLEASE READ!?

honestly there isnt the best flat iron that can straighten your hair, but the model you choose is pretty decent. i myself have really curly hair and i use a flat iron as well and it doesnt come out the way i want it, so dont be disappointed if it doesnt work up to your standards. Good Luck

Flat Irons...PLEASE READ!?

never heard of it.

and i know you cant afford it, but the CHI is the best brand out there.

not bad for your hair, and it works very well.

Flat Irons...PLEASE READ!?

My best friend bought a babybliss and it works really well. she bought it a beauty supply store and it only cost her $50 which is a good price considering it works so well. make sure you get a ceramic one. I bought a Sedu for $115 on sale from 250 and it works even better but the baby bliss should do. I bought mine on folica.com, not sure how much they sell them on there for.

Anyone willing to give suggestions for my story?

On a Friday evenning, Claire Lewis layed sprawled asleep on the family room couch. An couple hours ago, she came home from a grueling volleyball practice very tired and sore. She wanted nothing more than to relax and to take a nap, first stopping to grab a snack from the fridge. Then, she got her wish, as she finally drifted off to sleep on the couch from the soft glow of the television, contrasting gently with the dark room.

Then, all of a sudden, her cellphone blared a consistent beep. Clara was snapped out of her nap, as she sleepily grabbed her cellphone.This better not be another chain letter, she thought, if I found out who's sending those stupid things.... However, it wasn't a chain letter. Instead, it was 3 text messages from 3 people. One was from her best friend Natalie, asking if she's still comming to Jared's party tonight. Another was from her other best friend Nora, asking her why in the hell wasn't she at today's drama club meeting. And the third was from her boyfriend Nathan, notifying that he couldn't go to Jared's party with her because he had to work tonight.

Now she was fully awake. Oh this is just great, she thought, irate. He just blowed me off at the last minute again. What the hell? He just said earlier that he was off for tonight. And now he's saying that he can't go because he has to work???What is going on with him lately??? Weighed down by her thoughts, she felt skepical and suspicious. Lately, he's been acting weird. He hasn't been calling her as much or even said that he loved her anymore. Plus it seemed like he wasn't as interested in her as he used to be, like he was getting sick of her. She felt hurt and rejected, not wanting to even speak with him at the moment.

So instead, she texted her friend Natalie and wrote, " I don't know girl. Nathan just blew me off, telling me that he has to go to work. Wtf?"

A couple minutes later, Natalie texted back.

" Eh, don't worry about it. I'm sure he wanted to go with you but he has to work. Besides, he's a good guy. It aint like he'll sneak around and cheat on you."

After Clara read this, she thought, Yeah.... Wait? why is she always sucking up to him? Does she like him or something? No it can't be...she wouldn't....

Then she replied, " Yeah, maybe you're right. Well I'm still going whether he's comming or not. Can you pick me up?"

" No Problemo. But be ready by 8:30. Because I know how you are."

Clara laughed and then replied, "Hahaha looks who's talking. lol... Well I have to get ready. See ya Nat."

" See ya Claire."

After she texted her friend Nora back and said that she had volleyball practice, she turned off the T.V., went upstairs, and took a shower.

**************************************...

Clara stood in front of the mirror, clad in only a towel. Then, assured by her closed bedroom door, and the vacancy of her home, she took her towel off. She was blessed with good looks overall, with dark brown skin and shoulder length curly hair. Her round face framed her almond shaped ,prominent brown eyes, her full lips, and her nose that responded well to her face. She was curvy, with average stature of 5 feet, 6 inches.

However, her flaw- or the flaws in her opinion- is her stomach. Her stomach was slightly more curvier than the rest of her body, standing out when she sat down. Self consciousness also surrounds her because her butt is somewhat curvy and larger than others. As she examined it, it brought back memories of many guys-even old men, staring at it with lust. She shuddered at the thought. I wish I was thin like Natalie, she thought, as thoughts of envy began to build up in her.

Then, sighing, she continued to get dressed. She slipped into a lace bra and matching underwear. Then she opened her closet and scanned through it to look for something to wear. Deciding on a black lace camisole, skinny dark blue jeans, knee high boots, and her cameo necklace, she got dressed. After she appiled on her makeup and let down her hair, she sat on her window seat, waiting for Natalie.

20 minutes later, she heard a car blow its horn. Finally!, she thought, as she ran down the staircase. After she left a note informing her mother that she'll be at Natalie's house, she grabbed her jacket, walked out the house, and locked her door.

Natalie's vintage convertable sat waiting in the driveway, as Natalie herself leaned against it, enjoying a cigarette. Then she saw Clara, and her eyes shined in envy.

" Damn Clara! It's about time! But at least I can see why you took so long. You look good."

"Thank you." Clara replied

Clara then looked at Natalie, and thought the same about her. Natalie, with her petite body, jet black hair and blue green eyes, was the typical beauty guys were entranced by, like a bright light to the bugs of the night. Her personality also contributed greatly to her exterior beauty, and her outgoing and outspokeness enabled her to make a lot of friends. At first, Clara couldn't see why they've became friends back in 2nd grade, since they were the complete opposite of each other. Clara, being a introverted and sarcastic student athlete, and Natalie, being an outgoing rebel, found each other in Ms. Bledsoe's class. Everysince Natalie asked to borrow a piece of paper, they've been friends everysince.

" Clara? Are you ready to go or what?" Natalie asked, breaking Clara out of her old memories.

"Yeah. Of course I am. Why do you think I'm standing out here?"

So then they both got into Natalie's car, and drove off.

**************************************...

On their way to the party, Natalie and Clara was catching up in their lives and gossip, as laughter occasionally filled the small car along with rock music.

Then, all of a sudden, Clara asked, So where's James?"

Anger shadowed her blue-green eyes, as her content face was replaced with gloom.

"He's already at the party. He says that he'll meet me there."

Noticing Natalie's angry expression on her face, Clara asked, " What happened now? Did y'all get into another fight or something ?"

" No, not really... it was nothing. He was pissed because I was flirting with this one guy. Like he doesn't flirt with other girls!", she lied, not even daring to reveal the truth to her best friend.

Clara regained her suspicious feelings about Natalie for a moment, but was ceased due to her unconditional trust for her. Then, she sighed. Sometimes Natalie could be a little too flirty for her own good, flirting with everything that has a pulse. Flirting led to sex, as she cheated on her ex boyfriend with another guy that she lusted over. But again, her judgement was seriously impaired that night, due to consuming 120 proof of liquor and and strung out on drugs.

Then, knowing that Natalie wanted her to change the subject, Clara asked, " So.... how was drama club today?"

" The same. There was so much drama before we even got to the stage. and Jake asked about you today. And he's comming to the party tonight", she cooed.

Clara rolled her eyes, as her best friend tried to hook her up with Jake for the thousandth time.

" Natalie! You know I have a boyfriend!"

"So? it doesn't hurt to flirt with him....besides... Nathan said he wasn't even comming with you tonight." Natalies eyes flashed with truimph and jealousy Clara didn't catch. " What he doesn't know wouldn't hurt him right?"

Clara thought about this. Just because she's pissed at Nathan for blowing her off doesn't mean I was going to flirt with another guy... A guy that's gorgeous, sweet and funny... but still! I just couldn't.

Then, in response, Clara said, " Whatever Nat."

" You know you like him, she teased, " I see how you've been getting dreamy eyed about him!"

" Yeah, I know I don't."

" You know I'm right, or you wouldn't be fighting it so much!"

"You know you're not."

Natalie threw her bronzed arms in the air and said, " I give up! You're too stubborn to see that I'm right."

" You know you're wrong"

Then it was Natalie's turn to say, " Whatever."

Clara laughed and then turned up the music.

When they finally arrived to the party, Clara saw that loads of people has already showed up. She heard some distinct rap in the background, with a mixture of people's voices inside.

As soon as they walked into Jared's house, Natalie turned to Clara and said, " Um Clara? I'll catch you later. I'm going to find James."

Clara replied, " Okay, but I thought-"

But before she could finish her sentence, Natalie was already lost in a mass of people.

Anyone willing to give suggestions for my story?

So far I love that book did you write it? Whats the title? I mean its awesome but something is missing you should modify it a little at the time I think Clara leaves then its excellent.

Can anyone give me an honest opinion of my short story?

2010-06-19T21:57:00.000-07:00

Here's a piece of it.

Is it interesting and is it going anywhere?

May could not have come fast enough for the budding group of departing seniors from Colford University. On an evening where the euphoric skyline that draped over the jubilant grads stood still in a blend of blue and tangerine, the day was about to retire into the evening twilight. For the numerous students who packed commuter vans and walked in groups averaging 3-5, their nights were just beginning.

Most were ready to let their hair down after a tumultuous month of papers, exams, and research studies. Among the gallery of white baseball caps, oversized cups and domesticated cackling, stood well known attendees at an off-campus mixer. Ellie Bowden and her group of girlfriends comprised that list. Ellie and her girls were checking out the scenery, as they had so succinctly put into their efforts of meeting men of legitimate dating material.

Across the way, Brendan Rainer had his sights set on the 5鈥? tawny-haired bombshell her mother affectionately refers to as 'A little Ellie-fish, about to enter the big pond of life'.

Wearing a striped, button-down shirt, draped onto dreary denim jeans, and parted black hair and sideburns Brenden has had his ups-and-downs with the girl department. To his chagrin, although he valued and respected women, it has most often proved to be his Achilles heel as far as his love life was concerned. He was usually the best friend and he had long since tired of that image. Him and his buddies were also on hand kicking back in the corner and conversing. Was Ellie Bowden out of his league? Maybe. But then again, he had his gameface on. Nothing was going to stand in his way, except for two Capri-sporting, sandal-wearing, necklaced girls who got his attention first.

In the traditional sense, Brendan and Ellie came from opposite sides of the tracks. In lieu of their social standing, neither lacked drive. Besides, they were graduating college next week, so things should even out smoothly.

Early afternoon, Brendan woke up from a semi-drunken stupor to the hammering of the door from his father Don. Right off the bat the everso blunt, yet overprotective old man of the Rainers look his son square in the eye with a sentiment of Son, we need to talk.鈥?For Brendan this was all too routine. Had it been a cd that lain next to his hundreds of music tapes, a more fitting title of his father's speech would be The Best of Mr. Rainer鈥檚 Bullshit Lectures: Volume 1, available in both Stressful and Unnecessary.. Brendan cared much for his parents although he sought to find his own identity in his 4 years of Colford. His mother Beverly was the first to hug the first of the clan to have done anything productive past high school. She and her husband were high school sweethearts who married into their early 20s and raised Brendan when they were relatively anew to their own existence. Over the years, they had gone out of their way to bond with their kid over a variety of topics, ranging from learning to balance his own check book to sex. Brendan beyond hoped it would not be one of those talks.. Admittedly enough his estrangement from his parents at a young age was not something that would deter his parents from doing their part in raising his son with some semblance of integrity and standard. That did not always stay in tact once Brendan started his freshman year, but then again so didn't his laundry habits.

How you been, dad?,鈥?Brendan asked with heavy eyes and semi-combed hair carrying a heaping helping of a month's worth of wardrobe.

Just bring in the rest of your bags---you know your mom and I really missed you.鈥?

He put on weight, Don,鈥?Beverly chimed.

鈥淚 doubt that, honey.鈥?br>

It's been a while since you been at school, and.we're going to have to ask that you switch to living in the basement or possibly moving out,鈥?his father relayed passively.

What the hell?,鈥?Brendan stood dumbfounded. He looked to his mother with a glance in his eye seeking approval if she would be too put off that he curse up a storm. It would not be the first time.

what about MY room, ma ?鈥?br>

鈥淟ook son, we know this has been a hard pill to swallow but things haven鈥檛 been on the up and up at work,鈥?his father retorted. 鈥淎nd ever since we came here her and I have had a hard enough time getting aid to put your brother and sister through school. That鈥檚 what it is, Brendan. I鈥檓 sorry.鈥?

The middle child of the family was feeling like the forgotten one as he buried his head in his hands with an animated grunt and galloped upstairs before getting the attention of his mother. 鈥淏ren, we did keep your stuff downstairs,鈥?his mother proclaimed to her defeated son, in a tone resembling a game show announcer letting a contestant know they had still won the complimentary parting prize.

"What the hell is that about, man?," was the initial reaction from his buddy Dennis. "I dunno, they're being weird. But maybe it's for the better," Brendan nonchalantly quipped as he drew devil horns around stick figures emulating his folks.Brendan was a drawer who also liked to write. Since artists who occasionally penned was not a solid major, Brendan took side jobs and apprentice work shops after school to hone his passion for drawing. He used to just stick to comic book superheroes until he figured he move on to bigger and better once he hit campus. Plus he did could do without being taunted for it by potential love interests. That night, Brendan and his sentimental entourage of post-collegiate hopeless romantics took to one of Colford Universities popular off-campus dive bars: Chet's. What started out as a series of walks 3 nights a week amid-st tethered finances and the occasionally overdue midterm take home exam, became a car ride into town, feeling like the had taken the wrong turn at the crossroads of their newly-designated roles in society: Rookie real worlders.

Ellie Bowden felt a sense of loss when she had trouble finding a full-time job after graduating with a degree in finance. She was very involved on campus and was a tri-star athlete who excelled in the class, and definitely knew how to have a good time in between and around her endeavors. At times overly conscientious of her looks, Ellie would tussle her strand of tawny-brown locks and bat her green eyes, along with soft lips and a diamond necklace she wore in tribute to her grandmother. Ellie was a family person at heart. Although she felt she may have done some things at college she may not have done after finishing school, nor necessarily felt proud of Ellie sported lots of energy and personality aside from her good looks. She was also not one to take lightly in terns of pulling the wool over her eyes. Months after finishing school, Ellie took notice of how infrequent she would see her friends from high school, let alone some of her suite mates she had been tight with since her sophomore year.

Ellie had her "return nights" at Colford but it was not the same. New faces, new crowd, new drama. Same old routine. Brendan felt similar at his guys night out at Chet's, sitting at the bar watching ESPN parallel to older townsfolk who sported Keno tickets and cigars. His and Shawn and their friends of their old roommates sat awkwardly ajar a storm of spilt drinks and camera flashes. That night, Ellie babysat for her neighbors, but instead of chatting up with some of her old teammates plastered on her cell phone directory, she brought over a scrap book and glossed over it since one of the pages had a congratulations card that said "Here's Looking at you Kid", and had a baby emblazoned on the front. Ellie wanted children of her own somebody, but finding Mr. Right was not something she took lightly, especially when many of the men who had flirted up a storm toward her at Chet's two nights a week back in her final semester were old enough to be her uncle...literally. She was still her mother's princess, her 'Ellie-fish in a pond.' And it really annoyed her with a passion. Though she loved her mother, she wasn't quite ready to take on a role as a 12-year old girl trapped in a young woman's body. Bickering ensued and Ellie's trip to Key West on Spring Break was now rivaled by bickering over keeping her room picked up.

Six months after the homestretch of senior year winded down, talk show reruns and Gelato proved stale to Ellie--a determined post-collegiate, who had sent out hundreds of resumes but ended up getting called off of most jobs she went for. Temping and waitressing to support herself, aside from the clothes store she clamored at since high school, Ellie got the occasional pep talk of others who hated their jobs and ask that someone with as much potential as her break out of her rut and exit their self-proclaimed retail hell. Then she remembered that her time would come in spite of the prominent mentality that who you are replicates what you make of it. Brendan contributed to several on-line magazines to pad his amateur resume, but nothing that paid off his student loans. Characteristically, those that are fortunate---and there are usually a lot of people, who receive their degrees and get into their fields, were on the opposite of Brendan who had since come to feel that he did not know what the hell he wanted to do with his life. Even though he had not needed much of his parents help when he lived on campus, he commonly never turned it down when offered. Truth be told, both of Colford's fresh new representatives in finding themselves after dusk has overcast their dawn of post-adolescence-- alongside the always prominent 'we're not kids anymore, now what?!' mentality were pawns of the separation anxiety that thrusted what was set to be the crossroads of their journey into their mid-twenties. Both were hard workers, but each had their own parental sparring and runaround responses from job recruiters that they were not quite preparing to see, but were not immune to. The determination and long term goals of each had long since been compromised and their morales were declining.

Brendan stayed around town and frequented the basement aside from his parent's garage. He had grown to adjust to the independence he had long hoped for, but never expected--particularly in the fashion in which it was first introduced months prior. At a New Year's Eve party took out to the patio at Dennis's apartment, an epiphany struck Brendan Rainer, two years removed from his five-year plight of early class, 3am pizza deliveries and the occasional practical joke by his hallway mates. He had come to realize that would likely never happen again, though he could still sing a mean Tom Petty song using a beer bottle as a microphone when playing guitar that night.

Looking back at that time of a college grad's life where the fun and glory of finding yourself on your own, 8 months at a time proved to be overly gratuitous and sentimental. Things would not be the same for either but then there were the inevitabilities of getting older that was also on deck in their own ambiguous agendas.

Then again, there is always grad school.

Can anyone give me an honest opinion of my short story?

This is a good effort, but a short story should first of all, be a STORY -- something actually happens; a problem occurs and is resolved. This describes an interesting situation -- in fact, several situations -- but it's like a snapshot of a chess game in progress when, as a reader, I want to hear about an exciting chess match between characters or forces.

Second, you're in love with words, and that's dangerous for a writer. Readers are in love with plots, characters, activity, movement and dialog.

You like to render ordinary observations in complicated language, as though that will make them interesting -- for instance: "On an evening where the euphoric skyline that draped over the jubilant grads stood still in a blend of blue and tangerine, the day was about to retire into the evening twilight." That's poetic, but unnecessary, s well as confusing. How is the skyline "euphoric?"

So bottom line: Forget writing for a while and work on the plot. Throw out everything that isn't necessary to the story. And tell your story simply and directly -- don't try to dazzle me with your sophisticated vocabulary or ability to write purple prose.

Can anyone give me an honest opinion of my short story?

not bad. you have a very nice vocabulary. it's 8 in the morning though and i started getting a little bored. not sure if its your story or i am tired.

Yuri has a bored 98 in. long. He wishes to cut the board into two pieces so that one piece will be 10 in. longer than the other. What should the length of each piece be?

I need to show the work. when i worked out the problem, my solution did not work out when plugged the numbers in.

i am hoping someone can help. Algebra is giving me alot of grey hairs.

thank you in advance for your help

Help with an Algebra word problem - i figured it out, but keep getting the wrong solution?

Let length of one piece be x

Length of the other piece = x +10

x + x + 10 = 98

2x = 98 - 10

2x = 88

x = 44

Length of one piece is 44 in and the lenght of the other piece is (44+10)= 54 in

Hope that helps

Help with an Algebra word problem - i figured it out, but keep getting the wrong solution?

X = Piece one

Y = Piece two

X + Y = 98

X - Y = 10

substract from eachother

X-X+Y+Y = 88

2Y = 88

Y = 44

X = 98 - Y = 98 - 44 = 54

X is 54 and Y is 44

Help with an Algebra word problem - i figured it out, but keep getting the wrong solution?

He wishes to cut the board into two pieces so that one piece will be 10 in. longer than the other.

Short piece = s

Long piece = s + 10

s + s + 10 = 98 {add the 2 pieces together}

2s = 88

s = 44

s + 10 = 44 + 10 = 54

OK. Now we are cooking with grease. I just went up to speak with her about her Thanksgiving Holiday. She said it was great. She

ate a lot. Her family left early. And she just spent time with her

"friend". Notice she didn't say boyfriend. BINGO !!! I am in.

She rubbed her hair, arched her body, and spoke to me, with

a passion. I told her I had my "pecan pie" which is my favorite.

Even thought I had half, and left the other half, in the fridge

on the job. Last I checked, it had a spoon in it. Somebody had

a piece. I told the Sexy Librarian, she said quote, " as long as

you got a piece". Hmmmm. She stressed the word piece.

I believe, I am in. What do you think ?

The Sexy Librarian.....?

Could be.

The Sexy Librarian.....?

Sounds like a good beginning. But you need to quit with the "play on words" and start straight speaking, otherwise she'll hold you up in flirt-ville forever.

The Sexy Librarian.....?

Depends. Where did you put the grease?

Just play it cool and be yourself, you should do just fine.

What do you think of this poem?

2010-06-19T21:53:00.001-07:00

I see in the world

people with wealth

who, from delusion,

don't make a gift

of the treasure they've gained.

Greedy, they stash it away,

hoping for even more

sensual pleasures.

A king who, by force,

has conquered the world

and rules over the earth

to the edge of the sea,

dissatisfied with the ocean's near shore,

longs for the ocean's

far shore as well.

Kings %26amp; others

閳?plenty of people 閳?br> go to death with craving

unabated. Unsated,

they leave the body behind,

having not had enough

of the world's sensual pleasures.

One's relatives weep

%26amp; pull out their hair.

'Oh woe, our loved one is dead,' they cry.

Carrying him off,

wrapped in a piece of cloth,

they place him

on a pyre,

then set him on fire.

So he burns, poked with sticks,

in just one piece of cloth,

leaving all his possessions behind.

They are not shelters for one who has died 閳?br> not relatives,

friends,

or companions.

His heirs take over his wealth,

while the being goes on,

in line with his kamma.

No wealth at all

What do you think of this poem?

good you didn't write it.

First question is the additional detail part of the poem? Find a way of making it visible when one tries to analyze the poem. Its not visible and appears disconnected!

Secondly, in my view it is a bit mechanical, not quite memorable. Sounds like the poet is envious and wishes to see rulers and henchmen condemned to the abyss!

Kind of reads like disguised hatred masquerading as humanistic concern.

I'd advise the poet of the Lord's memorable wise counsel: "Vengeance is mine, and I shall repay."

Otherwise, fair attempt, be encouraged.

What do you think of this poem?

it ever good

2010-06-19T21:53:00.000-07:00

Imagine you are tooling around town in your Ferrari. It閳ユ獨 your third car. You mostly take it out for Sunday drives. You are crossing some train tracks and the car dies. A train is coming towards you. You notice a switch that will send the train down another track. But seated on the other track is a house filled with starving African refugees. If you throw the switch the refugees will all, die. What do you do?? I would hope you let the train hit the car. But here is the rub. By choosing to buy the car and not using the money to make the world a better place are you not in effect killing the refugees anyway?

I have sent this story to hundreds of people. The response is almost always the same.

Actually the most common response is nothing. But those who do respond usually say I work hard, etcetera, etcetera, I deserve, etcetera, etcetera.

But if you own 3 Ferraris, or even one for that matter, it is as much about luck as it is about deserving. If your are Shaquille Oneal and you were lucky enough to get the genes you got you are just as lucky as the child born to poverty and oppression is unlucky. There is no harder work NO harder life than imposed poverty and NO ONE deserves that life.

Let閳ユ獨 look at it a different way. How much does that 5th Hummer increase the quality of your life? How much more happy are you with that car than you would be with out it? The difference is marginal at best. You probably would not even notice the difference if it was not in the garage. But you do have a 5 car garage and have to keep it filled. How much does it cost to fix a hair lip on a poor little girl in Bolivia, maybe $ 5,000? So instead of spending $ 50,000 on that car and making your life a tiny bit better, why not make 10 lives infinitely better?

I was having lunch with a friend and before we went to lunch we popped into a jewelry store. She has a friend who makes jewelry and she wanted to show it to me. We were looking and I recognized a belt that my friend wears. I asked how much for the belt. The salesperson said $ 5,000. My friend has a $ 5,000 belt!!!

So while we were having lunch I asked my friend how much different her life would be if she did not have the belt. 閳ユ罚ot much閳?she said. Then I asked. 閳ユ窔f your granddaughter had a hair lip and you had to sell the belt to fix it what would you do.閳? She said, 閳ユ凡ell I would just take the money out of the bank.閳? I pointed out that this was all fantasy/hypothesis and that we have to assume that selling the belt is the only way to repair her grand daughter閳ユ獨 hair lip. Then she said. 閳ユ伐f course I would sell the belt, she閳ユ獨 family.閳? I said. 閳ユ凡e are all family. All of us are one family, one human race. It is about compassion knowing that when you buy something extravagant and wasteful you are stealing bread from a starving child. I know it閳ユ獨 hard because we live in an extravagant country. But you have to know this grand and lavish American way of life is one of the main reasons why the rest of the world hates us. And, why they hijack airplanes and crash them into our sky scrapers.閳? She said, 閳ユ凡ell what am I supposed to do?閳? I wrote this down on a piece of paper and handed it to her. 閳ユ窡ive simply so that others may simply live.閳?br>

A couple of days later I was thinking about a singer I saw once. His name was T-Buck. He was talking between songs and he said. 閳ユ返ou know we worship all kinds of things, money, Jesus, cars, Buddha, Allah, but more than any of those things we should worship each other.閳? I recently went to the Philippines. It閳ユ獨 amazing what the internet can do. I googled Philippine surf camp, and a week later I was stepping off of a twin propeller, 12 seat airplane onto tiny island in the middle of nowhere, PI. This island is so remote that they can not get many types of heavy machinery there, so they can not make gravel with machines. Instead they use people. The human gravel makers squat on their heels, with hammers and chisels, and break up rocks. They do it 8 hours a day, 6 days a week, with no safety glasses, no protection on their hands, for 25 cents an hour, $ 2 a day. Even though I was half way around the world, on the very cusp of civilization The Catholic Church was everywhere. One evening began with the sound of church bells ringing, and a bit later I could hear the choir too. Then a few hours later a small stream of people trickled into the neighbors place, maybe 20 in all. They ate dinner and then began to sing and pray. As they were singing I was thinking about T-Buck. It suddenly occurred to me that more than anything the world needs 閳ユ翻he Church of Each Other閳?

So I say that if you have 100 pairs of shoes, $ 10,000 watches, 5 ferraris, etc., you are worshiping yourself, and you lack a certain type of compassion or maybe you just are just conveniently not paying attention. I am not advocating life in a tent. I am just saying to make conscious choices, and don閳ユ獩 be frivolous, and wasteful. You can still have a nice house, a nice car, etc., but just THINK. That閳ユ獨 all just THINK, and be aware that we all are one. And whatever you take for yourself that is more than you what NEED you are taking from someone else.

I would like to close with a quote from Bill Maher.

Women think about diamonds the way men think about sex, the way leeches think about blood," Bill Maher once remarked. "But diamonds have a lot of blood on them, even without the terrorist connection, because they can not be traced diamonds are used by terrorists, to launder and move money. Diamond mines in Africa are controlled by rebel armies, and the rebel armies control the territory and make the villagers mine the diamonds. The villagers are basically slaves and the Rebels control them through terror, through such lovely things as cutting off the arms of the little children - something you never see in the De Beers commercials. An amputation is forever.

Now, I told this to a woman recently, who was only about the nicest person I've ever met - but she is a woman. And I told her about Africa and the armies and the rebels and the terror and the cutting off the arms of the little children. And she looked up at me with a little sad face and said, Both arms?

Remember Beannie Babies??? Diamonds are pretty much the same thing. I used to be in the jewelry business. Jewelry is what is called a created market. The market is driven by perceived value. What that means is that really good marketers make really good ads and they make us gullible consumers think that diamonds, beanie babies, whatever are rare, valuable, and worth a lot of money. Diamonds are a dime a dozen, it just so happens that most of them come from Africa and not that many people mine them. SO, the diamond miners got together about 100 years ago and decided to limit the supply and they did a really great job of marketing. They used to pay MILLIONS of dollars to make movies with big movie stars just so they could have a scene where the Brad Pitt of the day would ask the Angelina Jollie of the day to marry her and he would give her a diamond ring. So now in today閳ユ獨 times Diamonds are Forever, Every Kiss Begins with Kay, and on and on. They do a GREAT JOB!!!! Those are great ads!!!! Have you noticed that the folks who run the Diamonds are Forever ads are the De Beers family. Those are the folks who mine the diamonds. They don閳ユ獩 care where you buy the diamonds, just as long as you buy them. So anyone reading this ever pay over $ 50 for a beanie baby??? Feel kind of silly? Maybe in a 100 years or so people will look back and say, those silly 20th century people used to pay large amount of money for bags of beans and shiny rocks.

And by the way those diamond miners, the De Beers and their friends are the same folks who brought us one hundred years of Apartheid and complete racial domination in South Africa. 100 years of white folks KICKING BLACK ***!!! I am serious, in the last 20 years literally Millions of people in countries like the Congo have been killed in power struggles over diamonds.

Anyway that閳ユ獨 about it

Looking forward to the responses!!!

The story of Labradoodles could there have been some sucess if it was handled differently?

2010-06-19T21:52:00.001-07:00

Determined to source the most suitable guide-dog for a client, I unwittingly turned the canine world upside down

While working with the Royal Guide Dog Association of Australia as its puppy-breeding manager in the early 鈥?0s, I received a request from Hawaii. A vision-impaired woman there, whose husband was allergic to dog hair, had written to our centre in the hope that we might have an allergy-free guide-dog.

鈥淧iece of cake,鈥?I thought. The standard poodle, a trainable working dog, was probably the most suitable breed, with its tightly curled coat. Although our centre bred and used labradors, I didn鈥檛 anticipate any difficulties finding a suitable poodle.

It turned out I was wrong: after rejecting countless poodles with various problems, some two years and 33 disappointing trials later, I still hadn鈥檛 found an appropriate dog for the job.

In desperation, I decided to cross a standard poodle with one of our best-producing labradors.

The mating was successful, but it produced only three pups. We sent coat and saliva samples of each pup to the Hawaiian couple, and the husband found one sample allergy-free. At last we were getting somewhere, but a big job lay ahead. The pup had to grow up and prove suitable for guiding work; and then it had to be compatible with the visually impaired client. We had a long way to go.

With a three to six-month waiting list for people wishing to foster our pups, I was sure we鈥檇 have no problem placing our three new crossbred pups with a family. But again I was wrong: it seemed no-one wanted a crossbred puppy; everyone on the waiting list preferred to wait for a purebred. And time was running out 鈥?the pups needed to be placed in homes and socialised; otherwise they would not become guide-dogs.

By eight weeks of age, the puppies still hadn鈥檛 found homes. Frustrated and annoyed with the response to the trio of crossbreeds I had carefully reared, I decided to stop mentioning the word crossbreed and introduced the term labradoodle instead to describe my new allergy-free guide-dog pups.

It worked 鈥?during the weeks that followed, our switchboard was inundated with calls from other guide-dog centres, vision-impaired people and people allergic to dog hair who wanted to know more about this 鈥渨onder dog鈥? My three pups may have been mongrels at heart 鈥?but the furore did not abate.

It was 1989 and the publicity surrounding the new designer dogs went national and then international. A new world opened for countless people who had once thought they could never enjoy the delight of a pet pooch.

With this kind of response, I knew we were on to a winner, and I took the decision to breed more of the labrador-poodle crosses. So I contacted the then Kennel Control Councilof Australia, hoping to find the names of reputable breeders who were breeding standard problem-free poodles.

鈥淚f you use any registered dog for your programme, that breeder will be struck off the register and never be allowed to show or register their dogs again,鈥?the council鈥檚 spokesperson warned. Nor did he budge when I explained that the dogs were being bred to help vision-impaired people.

The breeders themselves were split: many did subsequentely threaten me or propose litigation if I used their progeny in my breeding programme, while others offered their services free to the guide-dog centre.

While all this was happening, I continued training Sultan, the original non-allergenic pup. He eventually went to Hawaii, amid intense media coverage, where as the world鈥檚 first labradoodle he bonded beautifully with his new owner and her allergic husband.

Interest in the labradoodle continued to escalate and inquiries poured in from all over the world from people wishing to either purchase or breed the dogs. But

I quickly realised that I鈥檇 opened a Pandora鈥檚 box when our next litter of ten labradoodles produced only three allergy-free pups.

I began to worry, too, about backyard breeders producing supposedly 鈥渁llergy-free鈥?dogs for profit. Already, one man claimed to be the first to breed a poodle- Rottweiler cross!

Nothing, however, could stop the mania that followed. New breeds began to flood the market: groodles, spoodles, caboodles and snoodles. Were breeders bothering to check their sires and bitches for heredity faults, or were they simply caught up in delivering to hungry customers the next status symbol? We鈥檒l never know for sure.

Today I am internationally credited as the first person to breed the labradoodle, but I wonder, in my retirement, whether we bred a designer dog 鈥?or a disaster!

The story of Labradoodles could there have been some sucess if it was handled differently?

I think his intentions were Honorable. He was looking for a "New" breed of dog to be used by people who had special needs not only with wanting a service dog but one that would also meet the criteria for those people who had sever allergies to dander.

It wasn't until years of trying and with very limited success that he declared this project ended and a failure. Unfortunately with all the media hype and publicity surround this even he inadvisedly I feel is the father to the Doodle craze we have today. The big difference is that he did realize that to produce this "New" breed would be almost impossible to perfect but by that time all the damage had been done. Any person from that point on saw an opening to not only breed these dogs but to also feel free to go beyond his original intent and do mixes of their own and declare them Allergy free dogs.

I feel this is what we are experiencing today with the "Designer" crazy we have now!

People went nuts and started breeding the poodles with just about anything and declared them allergy free! We know have to deal with what was once an experment to help peopleto a delima of what will they breed with what next and what false claims will be made now!

He open a pandora's box and now we are dealing with it!

The story of Labradoodles could there have been some sucess if it was handled differently?

Honestly he could have called them anything and the result would have been the same! We still would have all the "Designer" breeds!

I wish I could share with Dog Daze her answer was great!

Thanks! :) Report It

The story of Labradoodles could there have been some sucess if it was handled differently?

ok so you are not the so-called founder of the "muts"?? ij hope not, yes the storie would have ended diff if the husband just got allergy med- please?? poodle from good stock no good enough for the job bull #### wrong trainer training the poodle! so here it stated the 2 breeds were breed for one lady whos hubby was allergic?? gat a damm cane! look what happened! i'm mad sorry

The story of Labradoodles could there have been some sucess if it was handled differently?

i think their just like any other mutt.

The story of Labradoodles could there have been some sucess if it was handled differently?

My question would be this: It seems that the majority of crosses started with "doodles"- People who wanted a/n (insert breed here) that didn't shed. Labradoodles are, in my opinion, an attempt to reinvent the wheel. When you breed a lab and a poodle, you either get a dog that looks lab, poodle, or more resembles a portuguese water dog, or a curly coated retriever. These breeds already exist. Labs and poodles already have such similar personalities, I don't see the need to cross them, you either want a lab or you want a poodle.

Now, it's just become such an "in" thing to see what kind of name you can come up with for something- if the name is "cute" people will buy it!

Go to any poodle rescue site and look at the number of "doodles" looking for new homes. It's disgusting!

ADD: We have 2 dogs here that we groom that are service standard poodles. We also own 4 standard poodles. The breeder of one of our poodles has placed numerous dogs in service homes. So, don't tell me they aren't good enough. The father of one of mine was an S%26amp;R dog before nearly being killed by a rare tick borne disease. Another friend has one that is not only a cadaver dog, but is used to find ancient indian burial sites.

The story of Labradoodles could there have been some sucess if it was handled differently?

The origins of the labdoodle were good intentioned for therapy dogs, nice idea, but it didn't work out and they abandoned the breeding of this mix completely. Why continue what didn't work out? And there are protocols that are followed for breeding new breeds, but as it didn't work well they didn't purse it. Now we have people breeding them just for profit. When you breed something and the only motive is money I don't know how your intentions could possibly be called good. And maybe it's just me, but if these 'breeders' ever do finally make an honest attempt to actually come up with a new breed, I sure as hell hope they give it a respectable name, not something that sounds so Disney character, but for a mixed breed mutt I guess the name fits... Nothing would make breeding mixed breeds for profit better. It doesn't matter what you call them, the sad part is some people actually think they're a 'breed'

I have nothing against mutts. I volunteer in a shelter and even have one here myself. But mutts really need to be gotten from shelters or rescues, not line some BYB's or PM's pocket to make their truck payment!

*** Ok yes it's a good possibility the name is what started it off. A Lab/Poodle mix sounds less legitimate to some people's ears than Labdoodle. Now we have a name! I don't even think I've been on YA a whole month yet and I've already read enough to know that people actually think it's a legitimate breed. No wonder they get so mad when you say mixed breed or mutt. Jeez can't you see the name? It's a breed! (not). Before all this started you could barely give a Poodle mix away, now they're big bucks

The story of Labradoodles could there have been some sucess if it was handled differently?

This story with it's "excuse" used to justify why a mix was being delibrately bred is exactly that a flimsy excuse. There was no need and is still no need to "try" to breed a Guide/Service dog that is considered "low allergen" Why??? becasue there are already dog breeds that meet those requirements..breeds that have been well established for many, many years...Standard Poodles, Portugese Water Dogs, Irish Water Spaniels,Curly Coated Retreivers, etc.

Also it is incredibly ridiculous to breed a low shedding breed to a high shedding double coated breed to try to get a low allergen , low shedding dog.

The story of Labradoodles could there have been some sucess if it was handled differently?

I don't think the name has anything to do with it...its the concept of crossing two breeds to make a mutt and passing it off as a breed that is PREDICTABLE that is the issue. I know of NO two labradoodles that are the same in coat type, temperment, etc....and I think it is a complete scam to pass them off as hypoallergenic, friendly, whatever.

The story of Labradoodles could there have been some sucess if it was handled differently?

Whatever the intention, it was the wrong decision to deliberately cross 2 breeds. We as a society can accept "mutts" that are accidentally bred, but the intentional cross breeding is what sets the hackles on edge.

Personal Statement 閳?Kadie Bark

My name is Kadie Bark, I'm 15 years old and i am currently attending The Sheffield Springs Academy. I'm a pretty friendly, kind and patient person, and i am known to be bubbly and sociable, also i find it very easy to get on with people. I have a range of skills including:

Numeracy

Literacy

Computers

My creative instincts

I'm practical

Hard working

Dependable

I'm quick learner

I'd say that my biggest strength was probably creative writing/writing to describe as this is the area that i do better in and i enjoy the most.

My punctuality and attendance has been a little sketchy in the past, but over the past six months or so it has improved greatly and i aim to improve it even more.

I have a pretty good relationship with teachers and pupils. I get along with most pupils in our school and have never had any trouble in the past. I think my teachers would agree that i am a sensible student who at times can get a little distracted, but is dedicated to completing work/tasks.

My favourite subject in school would have to be English, as i enjoy writing, especially creative, and i love to read also. Another subject that i enjoy is Art, as i like learning new techniques and applying what i have learned to a piece of work.

I have been on a few school trips before, the main one being when a small group of pupils went on a trip to France, Normandy. While we were there we looked into the historical aspects of the city by visiting famous landmarks, such as the Bayeux War Cemetery. I have also taken part in school events such as the annual sports day.

While i was taking part in work experience, my job title was 'Nursery Assistant', the tasks which i had to fulfil include watching out for the children's safety at all times, making sure they were never bored and always had something productive to do and helping them settle down if they became upset, etc. The skills i gained from this experience are valuable life skills which will come in very handy in the future. I learned how to act around children, what to do in certain situations. For example if a child was misbehaving, they would have to apologise and have a five minute time out before rejoining the other children.

I think my relationship with both the children and staff was pretty good. The staff never had a problem with how i was working and at the end of my work experience they thanked me for doing such a great job. Also the children were sad to see me leave.

I did not actually get invited back to work at the nursery as if i was to have a official staff position there i would need to have some qualifications. And although i enjoyed my work experience, i don't think i will pursue working in a nursery as a career option.

When i am not at school there are a number of different things that i like to do including hanging out with friends, going to the Cinemas, going Bowling, Skating, making promotional graphics for websites, talking to friends on msn, moderating and posting in forums, etc.

I recently had a part time (Saturday) job at a hair salon, sweeping hair up, making tea, washing the customers hair, but i stepped down as i wanted to spend more time on coursework/revision.

My favourite way to spend my free time would be hanging out, and talking to friends as i feel it is very important to have a healthy social life.

I am also pretty into books and reading. My favourite book is Guitar Girl by Sarra Manning as i like her quick and witty style of writing. I also enjoy books from Meg Cabot as she has a similar style of writing. The books that i read are mainly teen oriented, but i do like to read other books now and again.

In the future i plan on going to college and taking part in a full time English Literature course and English Language course. Other courses i am interested in taking are Photography, Music, I.T and Health and Social Care.

I have not really made any ambitions yet as i am still trying to work out which career path i want to take.

My hopes for the future are that i will have figured out what i want to do in life, and i will have passed all of my chosen courses and i will be happily settled in a well paid job.

Is this ok for a personal statement, i am in year 11 and just about to go to college?

Hi Kadie, you've done a fantastic job, you are honest and believable and seem very genuine. Like eiremanne says, I would change the bit that says hanging out, there are 2 other things I would change - firstly, don't say 'I have not really made any ambitions yet', I would just take that bit out,and delete the word 'pretty' all the way through - just say you are good at things, it reads better that way. Other than that, its really great, well done! Best of luck.

Is this ok for a personal statement, i am in year 11 and just about to go to college?

HI Kadie,

This is fantastic, you are certainly very creative in your writing when i left school my personal statement consisted of "I want to have "a nice husband And 4 Kids" Lol.

The only thing i would change would be the wording "Hanging out with my friends" to something like socialising with my friends as hanging out sounds like standing on street corners!

Good luck with your future

Jens XxX

Is this ok for a personal statement, i am in year 11 and just about to go to college?

Yes it's pretty good: but probably leave out the bit about "sketchy punctuality" if you don't need to say it why bother.

Is this ok for a personal statement, i am in year 11 and just about to go to college?

I am delighted you did not go for a writing style that is terse nor stark. You have developed your thoughts well and manage the language very well, indeed. You are clearly going to be an asset to the world here at some point, and I am not making fun. Thank you very much for posting your personal statement. It hardly needs to be corrected. What needs to happen is all of your teachers need to be given a great big hug for having done so well by you! Best to you, always. - Chris.

Is this ok for a personal statement, i am in year 11 and just about to go to college?

I didn't read all of it, but if you're wanting to use this to apply to college, I would make one MAJOR change.

The word "I" is ALWAYS capitalized, it should never be lowercase. Hope it helps.

Is this ok for a personal statement, i am in year 11 and just about to go to college?

Your ambition should take you through. I wish you the very best of luck. You probably wont need it.

Is this ok for a personal statement, i am in year 11 and just about to go to college?

this is a good statement. rather than listing the skills that you have try and fit them into sentences somehow. try and rewrite the last lines from 'i have not really...' as many people might think that because of this you are not going to put as much effort into college, than if you did have ambitions and knew where you were heading in life

hope this helps

2010-06-19T21:50:00.000-07:00

Once on a yellow piece of paper with green lines he wrote a poem And he called it "Chops" because that was the name of his dog And thats what it was all about And his teacher gave him an A and a gold star And his mother hung it on the kitchen door and read it to his aunts That was the year Father Tracy took all the kids to the zoo And he let them sing on the bus And his little sister was born with tiny toenails and no hair And his mother and father kissed a lot And the girl around the corner sent him a Valentine and signed with a row of X's and he had to ask his father what the X's meant And his father always tucked him in bed at night And was always there to do it

Once on a piece of white paper with blue lines he wrote a poem And he called it "Autumn" because that was the name of the season And that's what it was all about And his teacher gave him an A and asked him to write more clearly And his mother never hung it on the kitchen door because of its new paint And the kids told him that Father Tracy smoked cigars And left butts on the pews And sometimes they would burn holes That was the year his siter got glasses with thick lenses and black frames And the girl around the corner laughed when he asked her to go see Santa Claus And the kids told him why his mother and father kissed a lot And his father never tucked him in bed at night And his father got mad when he cried for him to do it

Once on a piece of paper torn from his notebook he wrote a poem And he called it "Innocence: A Question" because that was the question about his girl And that's what it was all about And his professor gave him an A and a strange steady look And his mother never hung it on the kitchen door because he never showed her That was the year that Father Tracy died And he forgot how the end of the Apostle's Creed went And he caught his sister making out on the back porch And his mother and father never kissed or even talked And the little girl around the corner wore too much makeup That made him cough when he kissed her but he kissed her anyway because that was the thing to do And at three A.M he tucked himself into bed his father snoring soundly

That's why on the back of a brown paper bag he tried another poem And he called it "Absolutely Nothing" Because that's what it was really all about And he gave himself an A and a slash on each damned wrist And he hung it on the bathroom door because this time he didn't think he could reach the kitchen

Do n e of you know any Sad poems or story thingys like the one i have below??

aah Wallflower! I love that poem!!! here's one I love- It's called Richard Cory (Simon and Garfunkel actually made a song from it)

Richard Cory

E.A. Robinson

Whenever Richard Cory went down town,

We people on the pavement looked at him:

He was a gentleman from head to crown,

Clean favored, and imperially slim.

And he was always quietly arrayed,

And he was always human when he talked;

But he still fluttered pulses when he said,

"Good-morning," and he glittered when he walked.

And he was rich--yes, richer than a king--

and admirably schooled in every grace:

In fine, we thought that he was everything

To make us wish that we were in his place.

So on we worked, and waited for the light

And we went without meat, and cursed the bread;

And Richard Cory, one calm summer night,

Went home and put a bullet through his head.

or anything by Edgar Allen Poe

Is this ok for a personal statement? I'm in year 11 and applying for college soon.?

Seems pretty good. I wish you would have censored the personal info before posting.

I noticed fulfill seems to be spelled wrong, is the way you have it correct for Canada/UK?

White space also makes things easier to read.

Try to identify some of the longer sentences and make them more bite-sized. People read shorter sentences more thoroughly.

Be more confident in what you say. Try seeing how any sentence with "I think" in it sounds if you remove that phrase.

Do you have to incriminate yourself? I know it's good to be humble, but you really should be tooting your own horn here. Obviously you can't overinflate achievements, but don't call yourself distracted (for example).

Even though I used a parenthetical statement above, don't do it in your submission. It's kind of like saying "ignore the part in parentheses."

Rather than saying that you haven't made a choice yet, I'd just say you are open to several career possibilities if you agree with that.

BTW, everybody wants to pass their classes and be paid well, I don't know if that's worth mentioning.

When you look to the future, don't focus on what you can get, focus on what you hope to contribute.

Is this ok for a personal statement? I'm in year 11 and applying for college soon.?

Everything I read in your Testimonial made sense %26amp; it is well written

Best of look with your future

Is this ok for a personal statement? I'm in year 11 and applying for college soon.?

To be honest I think it is a bit long. There are a lot of bits in it that I would leave out particularly those referring to your admitted lack of attendance! And also the part about how you can be easily distracted. You have to sell yourself and make whoever reads it want to have you at their college.

Instead of talking about what you like to do in your spare time tell them why you want to do the course you are applying for. What made you choose it? Have you done anything in that area before?

Keep what you do in your spare time to a few short lines towards the end. They don't want a total bore after all who does not participate in any clubs etc.

Overall though, it is great the way you have listed your good qualities and the life experiences you have. Just a few little amendments here and there and I think you will have a winner :)

Remember the person reading it will be reading several hundred others so make it short, sweet and to the point. You need to gain their attention with the first few lines.

Wish you lots of luck - you will be great I'm sure :)

Is this ok for a personal statement? I'm in year 11 and applying for college soon.?

Excellent! A couple of suggestions:

Get rid of capital letters in words like art, cinemas, bowling, skating, photography, etc.

Went on a trip to Normandy, France.

...washing customers' hair...

"I have not really made any ambitions..." - change to "any firm plans" or something similar.

Best of luck in the future!

Is this ok for a personal statement? I'm in year 11 and applying for college soon.?

Hell no. If you make a list in writing a statement or essay, GAME OVER!!!

Anyway, I would suggest you run spell-check on that, there are many grammar errors. Looking at your usage of "favourite" and that you took a "little" trip to France, am I correct in assuming you're British?

Also, in the personal interests paragraph, do not capitalize anything, and it's "pastime". Especially if your said "biggest strength was probably creative writing/writing to describe as this Is the area that I do better In", don't make any mistake in grammar or things like that, I see multiple errors in that sentence alone.

Also in formatting, use justify to make the statement look nice.

Is this ok for a personal statement? I'm in year 11 and applying for college soon.?

I'm in Year 11 too! Brighton UK ...........

and I think that is is really good.

Mine isn't that long but I've already done it .

Looks good to me.

Good Luck with that. I had to do mine twice.

I think it is a bit too long.

Is this ok for a personal statement? I'm in year 11 and applying for college soon.?

Man that is long. Probably the main prob. do not put computers put using computers. Just say your attendance is good. don't give them any doubt that your attendance is bad. There are a few other things. Just read through it carefully and adjust things. keep it simple and cut out anything that is not totally necessary.

Is this ok for a personal statement? I'm in year 11 and applying for college soon.?

Cut out anything where you admit weakness, especially the distracted part. Although it makes you sound like a nice person, bubbly has connotations of someone who doesn't know how to shut up and being an airhead, even though you come across as quite intelligent through the rest of the statement, so you might want to remove bubbly and just have sociable. You have to appear confident, but not cocky, so admitting bad points in statements is generally a bad idea.

It's too long, unimportant bits such as the trips you've been on and some of the details on your work experience could be removed too.

Go over the grammar, especially if you're using writing as your main hobby. Your spelling seems fairly good, but always double check it. I'd suggest using the spelling checker in Microsoft Word, if you don't have it at home your school should have it installed. I used to do a lot of writing myself, so I know that people rarely notice their own mistakes and keep making them, myself included.

It might be an idea to see what your teachers have put on your written references if your school sends them out, so you can work around it. Some places will also have people to help you write the statements and check them for you, though that tends to be colleges more than schools I think.

Good luck from someone who's also in the middle of writing his personal statement and also applying for English Language. If I can help any more, click on my name to IM or e-mail me.

Is this ok for a personal statement? I'm in year 11 and applying for college soon.?

You need to cut it down. Keep to your strengths and things that will make you sound attractive to the college. You don't want them to get bored reading it. A college will probably be impressed that you actually have taken the time and made the effort to write a personal statement whatever!

Is this ok for a personal statement? I'm in year 11 and applying for college soon.?

You know, for your age i think that is very well written. A lot of people here and their answers are expecting too much from you i'd say but if your going to change anything then i wouldnt change it too much, possibly shorten it though. You didnt mention when you were thinkning of starting college? I realise its no time soon as u haven't put any courses down.

2010-06-19T21:48:00.001-07:00

I don't mean to be disrespectful, but what is the purpose of the crocheted piece of material that many female apostolics and the like wear in their hair? (didnt want to call it a doile) is there a specific meaning for wearing it?

Whats it for?

Modesty...its in the bible somewhere and someone posted a question about that a long time ago...maybe u can do a search on similar questions.

Whats it for?

A mantilla

Used by women to cover the head to show respect in church.

I had to wear one at my confirmation, stupid looking thing.

Only ever see old women with them these day, where I'm from anyways.

What do/can I do about this? Lady burnt my daughter's ear?

2010-06-19T21:47:00.001-07:00

Yesterday we were @ the mall. You know they have the little kiosks and people always want to bring you to theirs and show you their products. This lady had some special curling/flat irons. I decided to let her do my daughter's hair because she has curly hair and we had been looking for a flat iron. She went to do the first piece and my daughter jumped. At first I thought she might just be scared, she gets that way sometimes, or it was getting to warm on her ear. Well when the lady was done with a few strands and I went on to the next store I decided to check her ear. It was red, warm, %26amp; looked like it was blistering. I checked it this morning and it's blistered. She said it doesn't really hurt, but I'm a little pissed off. Burns don't really blister right away, right? Unless they're bad

What do/can I do? Her dad is pissed @ me for not doing anything yesterday, but it wasn't all blistered yesterday. The big thing is that the chick just brushed it off like she didn't do anything.

What do/can I do about this? Lady burnt my daughter's ear?

Tell the manager so that it doesn't happen again... but honestly, anything more seems like an overreaction. This isn't something that's likely to cause permanent damage... and are you honestly going to spend your time filing a small claims suit? It's a waste of time and money. Call the manager and get your daughter some burn cream.

And don't let strangers who aren't actual hairdressers use hot tools on your kid.

What do/can I do about this? Lady burnt my daughter's ear?

Too late now. If your daughter is alright, live and learn!

What do/can I do about this? Lady burnt my daughter's ear?

Get photos, see doctor, find out who it was.

File a complaint in small claims court.

What do/can I do about this? Lady burnt my daughter's ear?

If it was my daughter I would go back that sounds like a second degree burn to me!!!

Go back and talk to her manager that should not have happened!!!!!!

What do/can I do about this? Lady burnt my daughter's ear?

contact the manager of the kiosk. make sure your daughter has an input in the situation. tell dad to cool it and help out with this situation. take pictures as well. that lady should be more careful, seriously.

What do/can I do about this? Lady burnt my daughter's ear?

Wow, it was an accident....you said yourself that your daughter jumped, so it was basically your daughter's own fault. I would say that the only thing you could do would be to get your money back, but you didn't pay anything.

What do/can I do about this? Lady burnt my daughter's ear?

You're daughter jumped, so it's not her fault! It was an innocent accident. How old is your daughter??? I wouldn't have let some stranger go near my child with a hot iron for the purpose of trying to sell me something. I would leave it alone and learn from your mistake. She did not claim to be a professional, she was merely a salesperson. Even if she were, accidents happen. It's not life threatening even though it pisses you off, it will heal. Take care!

What do/can I do about this? Lady burnt my daughter's ear?

Just let it go. It's not a big deal. It'll heal up and go away.

What do you think of my story? Is it ok?

2010-06-19T21:46:00.001-07:00

Auburn Hair

What do you think of when you hear of Auburn hair? Well, I know I think of a girl who was different then anyone else,a girl who was shunned from her family and town because they were so afraid of her powers. See, Anama was a medium and could see the dead as well as interact with them. She wasn't just a medium however, she was a full blooded wiccan. Her mother died giving birth to her and her mother was also a wiccan. Anama's mother had been hated by her mother, father, sister, and brother and only had herself. The father of the girl with Auburn hair had left her mother when he found out she was pregnant. So, Anama's grandmother barely took care of her until she was twelve. Her grandmother had hated her by then for just being born a full blooded wiccan but little did she know that not only was Anama wiccan, but she could also see the dead. Anama had realized that she had special powers when she was seven. At school she kept seeing this little boy and no one else did. The school sent her home claiming she was delirious and sick. Anama's grandmother broke her jaw and nose for making her drive up there. Meanwhile at school, all the kids stayed as far away from her as possible. No one wanted to hang out with the crazy wiccan girl. So by the time she was twelve her heart had grown cold but her soul remained hopeful that she would find someone to love and care for her the way her family and this town never did. Well, one day she decided that enough was enough. Anama was tired of being hated and thought of as a worthless piece of garbage. She would run away and find love in Carolina while her family and town stayed in Colorado.

It was three in the morning and Anama was sneaking out of the house.

What do you think of my story? Is it ok?

Your idea is common, but interesting. It can work. However, you need some work on grammar - specifically passive tense, syntax and sentence structure. Your first sentence is an interesting way to start, but you drop off too quickly. Instead of the second sentence you have, I would rather see a very strong description of the witch. Your first sentence cries out to be followed by a strong physical description. Then lead us into the facts about her.

Next, I hate to say this, but Im not in love with her name. It sounds too much like enema. LOL.

Then, you need a stronger point of view. If you are going to tell the story in the first person, YOU have to fit into the story somehow. Are you her friend? Establish how you know this story. Nathaniel Hawthorne did this brilliantly in The Scarlet Letter. He added a first section about him working in the Customs House and finding this diary in the attic that told the story of Hester Prynne. Decide how you know the story if you are going to tell it with you as the narrator.

Then passive tense. Lets look at an example. "a girl who was shunned from her family..."

try it as "a girl shunned by her family"

See how you can simplify your sentences by taking out the passive and making the sentences stronger. Take out the "had been" and extra "that"'s.

Her is a really bad one. "Anama had realized that she had special powers when she was seven."

"Anama realized she had special powers when she was seven." Simpler - stronger. You should also learn to vary your sentence structure to make it more interesting.

"By the age of seven, Anama knew she had special powers" is an even better way to say that.

You need to read aloud more to yourself. Listen to what you are writing. Writing is talking on paper. Tell us the story in your own voice. Something tells me this is not the way you would tell this story if you were sitting next to me talking to me about it. I want to hear it that way - not the way you perceive a story should be written. YOUR voice- not someone else's.

Start over and edit yourself. Read it aloud to yourself and listen to how it sounds. Take out some of the repetetion. You dont need to tell us 15 times she is wiccan. There are other words you can use.

Also, do your research. Do not presume to understand what wiccan is - read about it. You have the internet there - use it. AN AUTHOR MUST BECOME AN EXPERT ABOUT THE SUBJECT THEY ARE WRITING ABOUT. I say that in caps because I cannot stress it enough. Do not cheat your readers by making it up. Your reader is trusting you to tell them a story - make sure it rings with honesty. Write about

what you know, know about what you write.

if you would like to, you can e mail me the rewrite and I will take another look. Good luck. Pax - C

What do you think of my story? Is it ok?

I think you need to add more detail to the story...that sounds more like a story outline than a summary. I wrote a novel about a girl with supernatural powers, too, and sent it in to a top literary agent. He said he liked the idea, but rejected it, so I edited more and I'm going to send it out again soon.

The one thing he told me was:

"Show, don't tell, your story."

And, "Edit, edit, edit!"

The other thing that helped me is reading a lot of books, that taught me what works in stories and what doesn't.

Here's an example of a story I just started writing:

Samantha looked behind her. The dog was after her again. She thought she had lost him on Clover Street, but he was obviously a fast runner. Most dogs were, weren't they? What was he after? He might be hungry. Sammy's Uncle Aaron had a big dog, and he ate a lot. She tried to remember what he ate, but she couldn't. She didn't have any food on her.

Sammy never owned a dog before.

Think, Sammy, think, she told herself.

What would Kasey Ketchem, her favorite hero, do in a situation like this?

She looked ahead of her and gasped in excitement. She just had a brilliant idea. It had to work! It just had to.

--That's not the whole story, it's just an example.----------

Freckles, I like your second draft better....good job! You can be a writer if that's what you want to be.

What do you think of my story? Is it ok?

Expand the first paragraph into two or more paragraphs, and read more stories along the lines of what your writing about, other than that its good..

What do you think of my story? Is it ok?

It sounds like a summary. Add a lot more details. maybe some dialogue.

What do you think of my story? Is it ok?

ahhhhhhh, my eyes are bleeding...jeezus christ...no offense but...get a better idea...and learn to write

What do you think of my story? Is it ok?

Ok, I'm speaking from an outsider's perspective, but I'm pretty sure there's no such thing as a full-blooded Wiccan. It's not like being Jewish, where it's a religion and/or a race. I've only ever seen such a thing as Wiccan bloodlines in fiction, and I doubt it's true. If you're writing about Wicca, make sure you really do your research about what they believe and practice. Or you could ignore Wicca, and just make her simply have supernatural powers. That would be easier, and you wouldn't feel an obligation to follow the rules of the actual religion.

It's an interesting concept, but make sure that if you give Anama these kinds of powers, they actually have a point to the story and her character other than just making her shunned by society. When she's finding love, don't forget about how her powers affect her daily life.

Make her grandmother a bit more realisitic. If she hated Anama so badly, she would have put her up for adoption or something, right? She must love Anama on some level to give her food and a home for so many years. Maybe you could make her a very devout Christian, and think that witchcraft is evil, so even though she loves Anama, she hates that she wants to be Wiccan and thinks she's manipulated by the devil or something.

EDIT: Oh, and I'm assuming this is a summary. If it isn't, well, you should never give up the whole story in the beginning of a book. You don't need to tell people that Anama has these powers and beliefs and problems - show them through the story itself as you go along.

What do you think of my story? Is it ok?

Very interesting story , but one question- have you researched Wicca at all? because you can't be born full blood Wiccan it is a religion or form of life. its not a race of people. You might also try taking a creative writing class to help with developing your writing skills and story plotting as well. Those classes always help you to get perspective on your writing style and research techniques.

Again I like the concept and idea but doing research on what Wicca is would help you alot in developing your story.

What do you think of my story? Is it ok?

Full blooded Wiccan? One has to be raised as a Wiccan (or inducted into it) in order to be one. So if the girl's Grandmother hated her, why would she teach a religion that went against her principles. It would make more sense for the grandmother to raise her in an extremely Christian way (beatings for not saying the lords prayer right or wearing clothes that showed too much flesh) Or are you saying that the Grandmother was a Wiccan too? Now if the grandmother broke the jaw %26amp; nose why didn't the law step in? Unless you are setting this in the pre-1940s (when child abuse laws were a bit more lax. Also Wicca wasn't really around until Gardner created it in the 1950s. Neo-Paganism came even later.) the doctor/teacher/school nurse would have to contact social services %26amp; she would have been taken into foster care. Does the grandmother have influence in this town? I got the impression they were poor.

So at age 12 she decides to move to Carolina (N or S) to look for love. How can a 12 yr old girl survive? Is she going to rob her family blind? Why not wait until she is 16?

There are a lot of plot holes here.

Do some research and try again.

What do you think of my story? Is it ok?

You need to put a lot more serious thought into that story.Where is the plot? There needs to be more to interest a reader than the poor picked on girl.There needs to be a mystery surrounding her, and there needs to be hurdles for her to overcome.Try starting out,with her climbing out her window.Her auburn hair fiery in the moonlight. A descrption of the day,showing how her life really is...Then,let her run away ,putting her past behind her,for now...Let the details of her past slowly trickle into the story over the first few chapters.

Just bring in the rest of your bags---you know your mom and I really missed you.鈥?

He put on weight, Don,鈥?Beverly chimed.

It's been a while since you been at school, and.we're going to have to ask that you switch to living in the basement or possibly moving out,鈥?his father relayed passively.

What the hell?,鈥?Brendan stood dumbfounded. He looked to his mother with a glance in his eye seeking approval if she would be too put off that he curse up a storm. It would not be the first time.

and if the story was in a magazine, i would buy it

Whats wrong with me:Is this OCD or just quirks???

2010-06-19T21:43:00.000-07:00

what i do

1.sometimes when i microwave things i have to wait until it gets to a "right" number (usually even) before i stop it

2.i have to chew more than one piece of gum

3.i have to put my remotes in my dresser before bed

4.sometimes when i put something on it feels "wrong" and i have to change

5.THE MAIN ONE: i twirl my hair and chew and eat it...it gross i know but i've done it for years...it used to be arm hair so i shaved it...now its my bangy parts on the sides...they keep getting shorter and one part cant reach my mouth so i pull out thick hairs to chew on...I KNOW it looks weird...oone really says anything but seriously it's very annoying and i've heard its a real problem

WHAT WRONG WITH ME?????

Whats wrong with me:Is this OCD or just quirks???

It may be O.C.D. but only a doctor can diasgnose you for

sure. I suggest seeing one, or mentioning it to you health care provider at your next check up if it is is bothering you or you notice that it is becoming worse or more severe "quirks" as you call it become obsessive. i have a few quirks of my own. such as when playing solitaire they have to be positioned- spade, heart, club, diamond. and i can't stand odd numbers on the volume control. and several others. but i have not noticed anything majorly disturbing.

hang in there. there is help if you need it.

Whats wrong with me:Is this OCD or just quirks???

maybe they are just habits like i always have to wash my hands before i take a shower

Whats wrong with me:Is this OCD or just quirks???

Very possible that you do had OCD...

I have OCD horribly bad. I have learned to deal with it. I count everything in 3s nothing can be done in even numbers, i count my steps, I touch anything that looks like it would feel different, and I eat my foods a very particular way. And I also have to dress in a certain manner. lol. But the only way to know for sure is to go and get checked by the dr.

Whats wrong with me:Is this OCD or just quirks???

u might have a little bit of ocd...i am no expert but i live with two people who have ocd and i think i may have a bit of it too. i used to have the same problem with my hair now i have to bite my nails (i know its common) unless there painted! maybe you should go to your doctor and request a siciatris to evaluate you. it may not be ocd it could just be your very maticulause and you have a bad habit...*a story to scare you*

a girl in minnisota was chewing on her hair. it became a habit and eventually she bacame sick all of the time and wouldnt eat anything but she continued to eat her hair. she went to the dr. with her parents and they discoverd a hair ball the shape of her stomach and the size(no wonder she couldnt eat!) she had to have surgery to remove it and got her hair cut really short! she eventually stopped but she had a scar from her bst line to her pelvis bone.

its a true story and i hoped it scare you out of eating your hair! good luck with your problem

Whats wrong with me:Is this OCD or just quirks???

Does sound OCDish. I've read that ones of the ways doctors distinguish OCD from just having "quirks" is that they call it OCD when it starts interfering in your life and becoming a problem.

By the way, I do the exact same microwave thing! I hate it and sometimes have overdone food because of it! Also usually the even #s are the "right ones". I do this with other things with times, and numbers. And do things until they "feel right." Theres other things I do but I could go on for a while here. I have close relatives with it, and I'm sure I have a touch of it. If you have any family with it then its even more likely you have it, since it does run in the genes.

Whats wrong with me????

2010-06-19T21:42:00.001-07:00

1.sometimes when i microwave things i have to wait until it gets to a "right" number (usually even) before i stop it

3.i have to put my remotes in my dresser before bed

4.sometimes when i put something on it feels "wrong" and i have to change

WHAT WRONG WITH ME?????

Whats wrong with me????

the hair eating thing could become a major problem. it stays in your stomach. one girl chewed so much hair, she couldnt eat, her entire stomach was full of hair.

you could have OCD. go to the doctors if it is bother you this much.

Whats wrong with me????

OCD

Whats wrong with me????

It could Obsessive compulsive disorder. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obsessive-c...

Whats wrong with me????

Try seeing a therapist. It sounds like you have OCD. They can give you medication to help with it. Hope this helps and good luck.

Whats wrong with me????

these are compulsions just like biting your nails. try and stop these safety rituals, like OCD, by being aware of your actions and stopping them. find something else to do with your hands and mouth.

What do you think of my story?

2010-06-19T21:42:00.000-07:00

Auburn Hair

What do you think of when you hear of Auburn hair? Well, I know I think of a girl who was different then anyone else,a girl who was shuuned from her family and town because they were so afraid of her special powers. See, Anama was a medium and could see the dead as well as interact with them. She wasn't just a medium however, she was a full blooded wiccan. Her mother died giving birth to her and her mother was also a wiccan. Anama's mother had been hated by her mother, father, sister, and brother and only had herself. The father of the girl with Auburn hair had left her mother when he found out she was pregnant. So, Anama's grandmother barely took care of her until she was twelve. Her grandmother had hated her by then for just being born a full blooded wiccan but little did she know that not only was Anama wiccan, but she could also see the dead. Anama had realized that she had special powers when she was seven. At school she kept seeing this little boy and no one else did. The school sent her home claiming she was delirious and sick. Anama's grandmother broke her jaw and nose for making her drive up there. Meanwhile at school, all the kids stayed as far away from her as possible. No one wanted to hang out with the crazy wiccan girl. So by the time she was twelve her heart had grown cold but her soul remained hopeful that she would find someone to love and care for her the way her family and this town never did. Well, one day she decided that enough was enough. Anama was tired of being hated and thought of as a worthless piece of garbage. She would run away and find love in Carolina while her family and town stayed in Colorado.

It was three in the morning and Anama was sneaking out of the house.

What do you think of my story?

Here are my edits:

1. Lose the opening "Well". It weakens the required "suspension of belief" of the your story by making your audience think about YOU, the author's voice, rather than fall under your "spell" as a storyteller.

2. ". . . I know I think of a girl . . ."

There was a girl with auburn hair who was not like anyone else.

3. ". . .who was shunned from her family . . ."

She was shunned by all who were afraid of her special powers.

4. "See, Anama . . ." Lose the "See". See edit #1 above.

5. "She wasn't just a medium however, she was a full blooded wiccan."

She was more than a Medium. She was a Wiccan. (hear the power in that arrangement of the words? It speaks in a more "mysterious", ethereal way. The "however" weakens the "spooky" tone, turns it into "girly-talk". This story isn't about "girls". It's about a powerful, mysterious woman. Use words and word arrangements to punch the tone down into a more gutteral sound).

6. "Her mother died giving giving birth . . ."

Anama's mother died giving birth to her. She, too, was Wiccan. (When speaking of two females in the same thought, make it easy for your audience to keep them straight, to know exactly who you are talking about. One way to do that is to use their names).

7. "Anama's mother had been hated . . ."

And, she too was despised and feared and was alone in the world.

8. "The father of the girl with the Auburn hair . . ."

(Eeeeew. Bad sentence. Most confusing.)

Try: Adama's mother was abandoned by the father of her child when she learned that she was pregnant.

9. "So, Adana's grandmother barely took care of her until . . ."

( MOST confusing. You skipped a step in the sequence. Just because Anama's father abandoned her mother does not necessarily lead your audience to the vision of Anama's mother did not raising her. And, you introduced a new character, Grandmother, at the same time that you introduced "barely took care", a serious concept of neglect. Keep major concepts separated until after each is introduced, then, juggle away willy-nilly with them. Just not when bringing them up the first time. YOU understand. But, your job is to make sure that your audience understands these matters. YOU have been juggling these concepts for awhile. They make sense to you. But, introductions must be made first for your audience to catch up with your vision).

Okay on thanksgiving day were having people come over and allot! We weren't expected for a second family to come over but oh well. We'll make it work. Im wearing a dress with leggings and flats. The dress is purple and has black flowers or idk if its the other way around black with purple colors but think you get the idea and the leggings are black and the flats are silver with a metal piece at the tip.

I usually do the old mascara, lipgloss, and blush thing.

I want to do something that looks unique not too heavy, pretty, fresh. What colors should I use for my cheeks and eyes and lips. I also need hair ideas. Should I keep them down with a swept bang or should I put them in a pony tail with a swept bang or do you have another hair style in mind? I need ideas and allot of details. Makeup not too heavy! And hair need ideas!

The day after tomorrow getting ready?

Hello, I am a stylist. You can use a plum colored eye powder and matching gloss. If you put your hair up, curl the pony tail and keep the bangs or leave it like it is and flip your bangs up. Hope this helps!

-No angel food cake refers to how the dessert tastes "Heavenly" not to that it is made from angels.

-This isn't possible because the gas pressure doesn't build up in both places simultaniously.

Why do you put two cents in when its only a penny for your thoughts?

You know the signs on restaurant doors? No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service? what if someone goes in with No Pants? Would the restaurant still have to serve them?

-A restraunt can refuse service to anyone they wish. I suppose it would be up to the management as they aren't legally bound by that kind of sign.

If an African elephant comes to America, is it an African-American elephant?

-No "African Elephant" is the name of that species of animal, an African person is just a person that lives in africa. All people are the same species.

Why do we sing "Rock a bye baby" to lull our little ones to sleep when the song is about putting your baby in a tree and letting the wind crash the cradle to the ground?

-People have been standing in lines for things before Disneyland. There were plenty of boardwalks at the turn of the century, for example.

Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?

-Habit, pleasure comes from the refridgerator and so people seek it from there unconsiously.

Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?

-They do make colored bubble bath.

Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?

-Who would believe there are four billion stars? Also abstract things like numbers so large are hard to deal with in anything more than an offhanded way. Touching wet paint is easier to deal with. Plus I think that people like to touch wet paint anyway, it reminds them of childhood.

Why do they call someone "late" if they died early?

-Actually they call someone late no matter when they died. I think it is actually a joke.

Why are the adjectives 'fast as' and 'slow as' often used in conjunction with hell, is hell slow or fast?

-Hell is the birthplace of lies, and thus hell is neither fast nor slow.

If the serving size on a can of soda is one can, then why is the serving size on the little can one can, too? Wouldn't the little cans be 2 cans?

-Serving size is determined by the size of the packaging and the amount of calories rather than reference to something else's serving size. You'll find a small can of soda has a different amount of calories etc than a regular sized can.

-No

Why is it said that an alarm clock is going off when really its coming on?

-This is a colloquial thing.

edit:

I'd like to stress that when no one buys a ticket for a movie they DO still play it. This sounds rhetorical but I used to work in a movie theatre and this would happen occasionally. If the movie is not shown it runs the risk of throwing off the schedule. Also if someone comes late for that movie (say 10 minutes which does happen) and the staff is forced to start the movie 10 minutes late, it will affect all other movies that day!

Hairstyles for the king and i?

2010-06-19T21:39:00.001-07:00

I am playing Lady Thiang in the musical The King and I and i'm wondering what to do with my hair. it definitely has to be pulled back and it has to be low cuz i have a head-dress thing for some parts of it. i have brown hair that is layered and goes a bit past my shoulders. I don't have bangs either. any ideas? Oh, and emphasis on the fact that i have medium length hair with LAYERS. putting it in a bun doesn't work as well unless i bobby-pin every last piece to my head. Thanks in advance.

Hairstyles for the king and i?

You could wear a hair net to catch the various layers instead of bobby pinning them.

Hairstyles for the king and i?

Have them wig you. Your modern hair is going to prove too problematic for the period style that's required.

Hairstyles for the king and i?

The company should sort you out or ask them.

Now I've got problems?

2010-06-19T21:39:00.000-07:00

Everytime this one dude comes over to my place I find hairs in my food and in my cooking utensils. How the F%26amp;$K can I stop this from happening? Because of things that happened in my childhood I have a hangup of taking forks out from the silverware drawer and holding them all up to the light to make sure there are no pieces of food/matter in between the tines, then I pick the cleanest looking one. I have lunch everyday about 1:00 and so as I was fixing my lunch I opened the silverware drawer and took the forks out to inspect them and behold at the bottom of the tray there is about 3 hairs laying there. I freaked.

I realize there are people out there who have bigger problems than this.

I don't, however. All I want is a simple piece of advice or maybe a few tips and my problems will be over. Tanx

Now I've got problems?

sounds like you have a bit of ocd? that's ok lots of people obsess over things- what i would try is when this dude comes over play the host for him, fix drinks and snacks and serve them to your company. it would entail a little more work but hopefully it will keep him out of your kitchen. if that fails, you might have to tactfully explain your problem to him so he can clean up after himself

Now I've got problems?

keep your forks somewhere else.

Now I've got problems?

funny

just get rid of the hair.

Now I've got problems?

every body must wear hair nets in kitchen , even you ,

Now I've got problems?

Maybe you should keep a few forks, spoons, knives somewhere else so that when he comes over you have some clean ones that you can use (I do that cuz when I find hair in my food or stuff on my utencils I hate it) so maybe keep them in the back of one of your cupboards or something

I really hope this helps :)

Now I've got problems?

i would move the silverware and not let him come over....cause that's gross....
