    Because a laugh is something you share. And if you don't, well then you're an ass. :p

    Well that was weird...
    Have to say that the name Taddle Twat doesn't sound like a very reputable one. :p

    Apparently, one needs to share our goofy national obsession with race in order to have a shot at a National Book Award:

    Half of being dyslexic is intentionally misspelling things in different ways (to how you would normally misspell) them in the hope the spell checker will finally recognize what you are trying to write.

    The other half is using google search as an ‘in context’ spell checker and probably getting yourself on several government watch lists.

    As someone with sever dyslexia, I can confirm this. Though, I think just being a writer makes your search history sketchy in general.

    thanks @Cave Troll for the like. Glad you agree. Or glad someone does. :)

    I think I'll give up for awhile. It's early & I don't do torture much anymore. :brb::superwink:

    I had to turn down a job that was just $15 shy of $600, because things got way too complicated.
    Well there is always more side jobs out there. If you can't do your best, better let someone else
    screw it up. :p

    You know, I really hate my hair. I know hair transplants are supposed to be a treatment for people who are already bald, but isn't there a way they could just...scrape off the current stuff, and give me some new?

    You could cut it, or buy some clippers online, dye it even.

    or

    Barbershop

    or

    Hairdresser

    ...

    I only ever dyed my hair once. Approaching thirty, this was my last chance, I was going peroxide, same ways I used to dye jeans, but didn't use enough mixture. I dyed my hair the same colour, the ashtray blond it had always ever been.

    People at work, they said,

    'I didn't know you dyed your hair...'

    'I don't,' I said, but I did.

    Also, after you visit the barber, there's the two weeks of depression to manage, always a difficult time. Barbers have 'industry' mirrors in the barbershop, you look so cool, then you catch a glimpse in a shop window of this face, huge face all gurning with a flap of fuzz on top. Ruined my life once, this woman shaved my head. I mean, I said 'shave my head, please,' but I didn't mean like that, not like a convict. Everybody crossed the street when I came along, it was a very difficult [frking repetition, idiot] month.

    Yeah, but those are all temporary fixes. If I get it cut it'll just grow back. If I use some product, it'll wear off or I'll have to keep buying it for the rest of my life. I don't want to manage my hair, I want to terraform it.

    I'll keep thinking about your hair. My friend had no hair, nothing, but he loved shampoo. His wife made him use Fairy Liquid on his bald head, she was cruel about that.

    You don't want to be going to the 'hair butchers.' I dunno, people like curly hair, I live with that burden myself, I do understand if that's the issue. Buy wigs...tho' that is controversial over here re this murderer who wore a hairpiece, convicted today, thank god..

    I'm thinking on.

    I'm sure you'll come up with something. I believe in you.

    I'm starting to think that the reason I'm so good* at improvising under pressure is that I'm absolute shit at remembering to prepare.

    *I'm not dead yet, I must be good at it.

    When did haggling go from asking for a few bucks off to now asking up to 33-50% off?
    I don't think telling the car dealer you want 10g off a 20g car, will get you the car.
    People think because it is the holidays that I should wheel and deal like Wally-World?
    First of all I am not asking all the much, and secondly I am not a multibillion dollar corp.
    Thirdly what I am selling you ain't going to find it around here any way so be happy,
    that you could find such things at all, jerks.

    Sounds like you just met my mother. The rug merchants of Istanbul breathed a collective sigh of relief when we finished our vacation there.

    Hey all, just wanted to see if you were all doing OK. :> It's Friday, so that's a good thing.

    I might have said it before, but I love my iPad and Microsoft Office Word app. :D The essential writing tools, I think.

    @Iain Aschendale - Yeah, those kind of shoppers are annoying. It's like, "Look, lady/pal, what do you think I am -- a magical genie that can bestow you the exact item you want? We don't have it, so look elsewhere and quit bugging me about it!!!"
