Telling someone they have a lovely hair color..then they respond ..thank you, it's natural.. and you know it's not...I've always responded..thank you..I get it from a bottle or..it's not my natural color.. a compliment is a compliment hair dye is fun.

I only get comments when mine is blue or purple, so I usually don't have to say more than "thanks"

Well, if red makes your hair itch, choose a different color?

Ooh another one!
Wearing shorts and a pullover, like it's summer on your legs and winter on your arms.

It's 30 degrees...
I'm wearing 3 layers...yet while pumping gas the dude at the next pump is wearing shorts & flip flops! Really?
Because we are near "the beach"???
I hate seeing men's hairy toes & as it is, but when it's below freezing?
I just don't get it.
Dude...NO ONE is hanging out at the beach in freaking January. No one wants to see your hairy legs & knobby knees, either. For goodness sakes, Put some pants, shoes & socks on!!!

My son's bedroom clock has a bunch of different soothing white noise settings that can be turned on with a timer. We set it for an hour at bedtime, only really using piano, crickets, and rain. The annoying part is that most of the other "soothing sounds" are completely ridiculous... crazy rushing wind (seriously, sounds a little like a fighter jet), sheep?!, the weird heartbeat (I get it's for babies, but still seems creepy to me), and a bunch of others I really can't describe.
So anyways, DH and I started brainstorming the worst possible "soothing sound" loops to go to sleep to...
My personal fav was a toilet flush, complete with the tank refill, then another flush ad nauseam. We also came up with rush hour traffic recorded near a hospital, cat with hairball, and tennis shoes in the dryer.

How about the slow drip...sink drip or toilet drip, or even worse, the drip outside, drizzle rain making guttering drip...you can shut the water feed off to stop the sink or toilet drips, but can't do diddly squat about rain gutter drip.
How many times did I get dressed at 3am, & try to move rocks under the damn gutter spout so water could trickle without that damn drip right by my bedroom!

Another one...the buzz of a mosquito 2am in your ear...yup, wide awake now, looking for that evil insect.
Whether in your bedroom or camping tent, that 1 little mosquito can wreck your night.

For a Northie, 30 is warm.

Been "enhancing" my hair color and playing around with dyes, frostings or Hennas since I was 16. My mom dyed her hair, so it was women's beauty day in our bathroom, we'd do the green clay face mask, too! It is fun!

I have to share the funniest thing happened though. While I was going through chemo and bald, I had a nice wig. You never have a bad hair day with a wig! Anyway, when you go through chemo you also get these horrible hot flashes. I mean it is like a sudden wave of sweat & nausea suddenly wash over you. It's like you're standing in front of a 500ﾟoven and somebody opened the oven door. I happened to be riding passenger in a car, when one of these hot flashes hit me like like a tidal wave. I grabbed that wig & the head sock off my head, and started fanning air, using the wig to do so. I happened to glance over at the car next to us, as we were stopped at a red light. The look of shock on their faces was priceless, absolutely hilarious, I never laughed so hard my life! I guess it's not everyday you see somebody literally rip the hair off their head and use it as a fan.

"Thank you, I'm glad you like it," is a lovely response to any compliment. It makes the complimenter feel appreciated for having the good taste to have commented on your hair, your cooking, your artwork, clothing or whatever. It basically returns the compliment.

Not for everyone, my honey was born & raised in Maine, he hates cold weather. Cold is when you have to wear a jacket...Any temp under 50 degrees especially with wind gusts over 50 mph
