Do you cut your own hair? Or go to a salon?

vicki2876 @vicki2876 (5636) • Canada 20 Jul 07

I cut everyone's hair here. Three boys and two girls. I never went to school for it or anything but I hate paying so much money for cuts plus tip. When I was in the city I would have a bad hair day and walk in a salon and get a...

sandrakaye I have cut my own hair for about 20 years now. I also cut my children's hair and my fiance's hair. I started going to school to get my certification in it but the money ran out so I had to stop. Salon's are so expensive in the U.S. If you go to a beauty school...

Why is it that when us woman have been jilted, we cut our hair?

touchnshine @touchnshine (2821) • India 20 Jul 07

I've always wanted to know why we do this. I'm sure not every woman who's been dropped cut their hair, but many of us do. Maybe 3 days after my first boyfriend broke up with me, I cut off most of my hair. I had almost butt length...

sandrakaye I have done this many times. Either when I get jilted or when I am just mad at my boyfriend. For me at least it seems I do it when I get jilted to start over,kind of reinvent myself. When I am mad at my boyfriend and do it, well it is just for spite. LOL

sandrakaye I am way late replying to this thread, so I was merely wondering did you get up the energy you needed? I often find that once I muster up enough energy to go out and do what it is I need to do, I feel better afterwards

I'm tired of the whole Beckham thing

inked4life @inked4life (4224) • United States 19 Jul 07

First off, let me admit that I am a huge soccer fan, have been since I was a wee boy and I thought that Beckham coming to the US might give the sport a much needed boost. I just forgot how much Americans love celebrity more than...

sandrakaye I secong your opinion. I am so sick of the media covering the Beckhams. I hope that David Beckham actually does something for the good of Soccer in the U.S. instead of using all this publicity to his own good.

I'm a conversation stopper

inked4life @inked4life (4224) • United States 19 Jul 07

I just looked at the "discussions I've responded to" section and it looks as though most of them have come to a grinding halt after I left my response. I may have to go and put on some deodorant as I seem to be scaring everyone...

petermason2000 @petermason2000 (238) • United States 19 Jul 07

I went to Walmart the other night after work, so it was after midnight, and I saw a young man and woman there with their children. What the heck is that? Why are people taking their young children (they were toddlers) out in the...

Alcoholic child support

ChampagneGiggles @ChampagneGiggles (699) • United States 25 Jun 07

Hypothetically - suppose you were a woman with a few kids recently divorced from an alcoholic or someone else with a self-induced "illness". Would you feel guilty asking for child support? Would it matter if he had a full-time job...

sandrakaye Um, no. Why would you feel guilty? My thoughts are if they have the money to buy the alcohol or what ever they are addicted to they can easily give some money to help with their kids.

sandrakaye I don't think it should be a felony. There are other ways to get your point across. My ex had his back support reported on his credit history, that alone made him pay his support.

sandrakaye The pool is a great way to lose weight. Here are some ideas off the top of my head: Races- you can do this by different types of swimming, side stroke, under water, walking(harder than it seems) and running(even harder than it seems). You can also do these...

sandrakaye My first question would be why weren't they taught earlier to clean up after themselves? At those ages you are going to get rebellion if they aren't used to doing it. My children have chores they have always had chores they are now 10,9 and 14. I have 3...

How do I say no to my three year old without getting a tantrum?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 8 Jul 07

My three year old is going through a very difficult stage right now. Whenever she wants something, she demands to have it immediately. And, she won't take no for an answer. She'll just keep asking until she gets it. Or, she'll get...

sandrakaye You mentioned that your child will throw a tantrum or whatever until she gets what she wants. This is the reason as to why she keeps doing this. She knows that if she whines,asks repeatedly, or throws a tantrum that mommy will eventually give in. This is not...
