chillii Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Yeah right , most seem to want it gone and yeah it makes a huge difference doesn't it , l love women messing with their hair , l have a real hair thing haha. But funny , l've ended up one extreme to the other bc ex got her hair done every 3 or 4 wks and loved coloring it too. Gf doesn't get her hair done at all does it all herself and won't use shampoos either hence the sheepdog but eh l love it , but now she wants to let it grey . Most people would love to look as young as she does but man as soon as the grey comes, blows that out of the water. Link to post Share on other sites
Happy Lemming Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 @chillii Well... the gray is gone (for now) for my girlfriend. I used Miss Clairol Nice & Easy number 8 (Medium Blonde) and it looks GREAT!! She does have to leave it in a bit longer, as her gray is stubborn about taking color. I took my time applying the dye, sectioning the hair and working it into the roots, then she left in in for about an hour, washed up, and dried it (blow dryer). All done for now, the color usually holds for about 2 months, so if we are still on "Lock-down" (then); I'll order up another dose and do it again. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

preraph Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 No. I just googled the type I usually use. I don't even remember where it came from. Link to post Share on other sites
spiritedaway2003 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I don't ever shop for groceries online or for delivery. The last time I shopped for groceries was more than two weeks ago. I need to add stuff to my fridge, but delivery slots from some of the shops are virtually non-existent. I've been browsing online, wondering if I should just order in some more non-perishable food or step out to get some fresh produce and groceries. I guess I've been working on my online shopping? 😉 Link to post Share on other sites
5x5 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 (edited) The only changes my wife and I have experienced so far, is we don't go out to restaurants or walk around places we like to visit and don't visit anybody socially. We are also both fortunate in still working, although there are some changes with me not sometimes travelling for work and earning less as a consequence. While my wife is still working in her government management role, which will see her working from home 2-3 days a week as well going forward. I am now also working part-time stacking shelves a few evenings a week to compensate in part for my reduced income as well. For the most part though, work for me is mostly unchanged as I am working on some articles for publication, illustration work and some paintings as well, although my photography work has come to a grinding halt with the significant impact on the aviation industry. As to my wife working from home she can't have my office/studio, so she is getting my hobby tables/space to work at. At the same time my wife is nearing the end of her radiation treatment for her cancer, while we are taking turns (as a consequence of restrictions) at visiting our teenage daughter who has been readmitted into hospital. While our son who lives at home with us, has lost his casual work at a restaurant. Yet he continues to do his full-time university course work online, while keeping in touch with his girlfriend (not visiting each other at the moment). My wife and I are still finding time to go for exercise walks and sharing sex as well. We are also lucky that our home affords us the opportunity, to give each other space and not get in each others way. Since my wife and I have managed through being separated for weeks and months at a time, through 8 years of my former almost 15 years of army service. Have almost been killed together (slow motion moments and resignation of death), plus survived a house fire. While we have also been isolated for weeks as a consequence of floods, got past redundancy, coping with cancer, and other life threatening illness. Including dealing with a child who has a significant mental illness, and other things besides. The imposition of Covid-19 restrictions don't seem insurmountable to us.

jah526 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Little House on the Prairie episode was a really good one today, the very first one. I think it was a 2 hour episode but I got rudely interrupted by a work issue after an hour and a half so didn’t finish watching. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

FMW Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Got out my beautiful Fender acoustic guitar and my Nikon DSLR camera - two interests/hobbies I had started a few years ago and let drop. I think now's the time to get reacquainted with my expensive toys and develop some skills! I've been walking everyday and have seen a lot of interesting vegetation and architecture that would be fun to shoot. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Happy Lemming Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 I started prepping my Evaporative Cooler for the warmer temperatures. Finding small rust spots, sanding and putting on primer. It won't be too much longer and I'll have to assemble, lubricate and test the system for cooling. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
jah526 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 I’m doing pretty much the same as I was BC. Download podcasts and wander in the desert for an hour or so. It’s a relief to not have to commute and not have to be around people I loathe. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
basil67 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 We've been making great progress teaching my son some life skills. The new occupational therapist (who luckily can still visit us at home) really gets him and has been teaching us the best way to support him in learning new skills. Because we're not rushing from here to there all the time, we've had time to really focus on this new learning. We're really excited and despite his grumbling, I think he's pleased with himself too. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites
preraph Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 That's great news, Basil! He's bound to be pleased about it, if only for the attention, and it will benefit him in the future, so win/win. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Happy Lemming Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Doing some laundry this morning... A lot of hand towels need to be washed. Then second coat of primer on those rust spots on the Evaporative Cooler parts. Going to be near 90 by Friday and I already know I'm going to hear complaining...

I was talking to my cousin online this morning and she's home with 4 kids, including one with autism and a set of twins. She posted a lovely family Easter pic that I commented on, and she PMd me telling me the reality of it all is that she's going crazy :(.

I don't know what he did but he survived with money in the bank. His sacrifice was that his sex life was over for the rest of his life. Why? Radiation damage isn't a STD, you can't give someone radiation by just having sex (after a certain amount of time passes). He can't reproduce, but that's not the same as not being able to have sex. I would be a lot more worried about the cancer risk though. Poor guy. Link to post Share on other sites
