Re: Thinking of changing the “signature” hair style. Opinions?

So bangs can be just a little in the middle with a few blunt long face layers to tuck behind your ears. That way, the bangs can grow out fast and you don't have such a big commitment to make. Go for the straight choppy pic, love it. Lose the perm, it's outdated AND contributes to your hair's health/thinning. Wash your hair with 1 part peroxide, 1 part organic apple cider vinegar 10 parts spring water a few times a week (store in water bottle) and limit commercial products as much as possible. I use ZERO product.

Here are some HAIR foods to eat raw and try to eat a shot of black strap molasses daily:

Green tea, egg whites, lean meats, garlic, Avocado, soymilk and cheese, peanuts, kale, spinach, collards, asparagus, rep peppers, beets, fresh or stewed tomatoes, blueberries and blackberries, salmon tuna, cashews, pecans, almonds and Brazil nuts, green and black olives, cucumbers, celery, Vitamin A, raw carrots, fresh cantaloupe and baked sweet potatoes

Get your ph in balance with a shot of Organic Apple Cider Vinegar daily (www.earthclinic.com)

Good luck!

Those are two good ones, and also fit the "unusual" or unlikely category I was thinking of when I wrote this :)

I don't like your modifier of unlikely, but I'm inspired by many. With the similar celebrity of Madonna and Hammer, I offer Donald Trump and Michael Dukakis.

Donald Trump inspires me for the empire his father began and he continued to build. (The Trump of the late '80s and early '90s, anyway.) He's a testament that money can buy you toys... and the toys can take away your money.

Michael Dukakis (who is a former Governor of Massachusetts and potential successor to the late Senator Ted Kennedy) is someone I met in 1986 on the day I graduated fifth grade. I met him in the West Wing of the State House and I remember eating a cookie and drinking water while he and my father talked adult stuff. This came about because the Governor allowed the meeting to be part of a silent auction bid.

How many times has any Governor since offered 1-on-1 time with pre-teenagers and their parents?

It first occurred to me that it might not be worth it to express my opinion in this seemingly close-minded forum. You seem pretty steadfast in your beliefs. But, my annoyance got the best of me in the end.

Here's the deal. There is ignorance and recklessness on both sides of the coin. Sure, bikers can do some obnoxious shit. I am occasionally guilty. But, if you had ever actually ridden a bike, you would realize what a pain in the ass 75% of drivers are. I've been spit at, nudged over, doored, followed, insulted, threatened and nearly killed several times. Motorists can be a hate-filled breed. Understandably so. You are all trapped in boxes waiting in line, while us cyclists have managed to avoid this expensive curse. How sad for you.
You must also realize that isn't much room out there for us. We have to share. If you want us out of your way, write to the city about adding more bike lanes.
And if you think joking about shooting us is going to be taken lightly, you've got another thing coming. You're only exacerbating the problem. So, go ahead, keep it up. Its stuff like this that makes us feel entitled about taking up what little space we do on the road. Just take it easy. We're all gonna get there. Just some of us will get there faster and in better shape.

I am so excited and happy for you. You are very lucky to love what you do, and I am thankful you've been so busy [even though I miss you terribly].

I cant BELIEVE you started smoking again! You did so good for so long, but I can understand WHY. If I was half as busy as you are I would have started smoking again too.

Oh wait...I never really quit!

the only thing you need do to understand and identify with the way people feel in the USA when they ride a bike is to try - actually riding a bike - to get places, to do things. You quickly will realize that rants like this can only be written by people who never ride bikes, and hence don't know what the hell they are talking about.

You have dashboard perspective. Since cyclists also own cars and drive, the cyclists also understand the dashboard perspective in addition to the bicycle perspective. The combination of both perspectives allows them to understand that you are reckless and narrow-minded as a car-driver only. You can not realize what you really are, because you can only know your side of the equasion.

I remember the first half of that song, but not the second half. Maybe that was the show that came on right at the moment that my parents or my grandmother switched off the TV and were, like, "You've been inside all day. Go out and play."

Anyway, this was fun!

Let me guess? You were with Bank of America? I hate them with the white hot passion of a thousand suns. I live in Phoenix and just switched to a locally owned bank. They are so wonderful! The give me candy, write me letters, greet me by name and everything. I would name my next born child after them.

I don't know if you'd consider the credit union I use a small town CU -- it has locations all over Mass and NH, but not a lot of them -- but I do like it a lot more than I liked the old big box bank that we had before this one.

Sounds like you've got awesome service.
