THIS! Exactly! I had an annual-ish perm for many years starting when I was a college freshman . Somewhere along the way, I got natural curl, but I always felt the perms helped control the frizz. Everyone thinks I was nuts to think that 1) my hair became curly in my 20's and 2) a perm helped control frizz, so thank you for saying that! I feel validated
Okie in the TX Hill Country
Yes, now that the two of you have said it ... I used to have almost straight hair, just a very slight wave. If I wanted it curly, I would have to get up early and crimp and curl it, or braid it in little braids the night before.
But now it's quick and easy to get it looking curly. Spritz it with a water spray bottle, a bit of sea salt spray, and something to hold it (a little mousse or hairspray) ... scrunch ... and voila ...
M in Oz
my hair has always been curly(that is when I finally did get hair- I wad a bald baby until I was at least 6 months old.
My hair is a little longer than yours and curlier-ringlets when I put the gel in. I have found the Pantene Curl Activator products(shampoo,conditioner and gel/cream) work great. Lots of curls and no frizz.
I used to have to set my hair on those huge hard curlers/rollers every time I washed my hair which was once a week. Mom did it until I was old enough to do it for myself. It was to try and make the curls a bit more manageable.Those things were so terrible to sleep on. All that work to get rid of my curls while my mom and sisters went and got perms. I never did.
Now I have found what works and let it go natural. Have only used the rollers a couple times since moving out of the house. I never could get them right, always had a ridge from the curler. I also have not cut my hair since then. Just a little trim but not actually cut. It grows so slow,if at all anymore.
I also started getting a bit grey but only in one spot so had this Cruella Deville streak. Not as big or noticable because my hair is lighter. Now I am getting more silver so it is blending- finally getting the "blond" my former hubby liked- still calls me blondie. Back then it was from Sun-In or lemon juice.

Tracey: Stay warm and safe!!!
Barbara & Machka: I had one of those awful permanents, too. I looked like Harpo Marx. I never let anyone near me with a permanent box again. :noway:
Tracey: We facetime with our son and DDIL often on Apple phones & computers. Our daughter does not have facetime available. Now we have the opportunity to visit with her visually via Zoom & Duo. :bigsmile: Our whole family was able to watch the Super Bowl together from three different states: Oregon, Virginia and Illinois. It felt like magic!
Kim: My mom also made clothes for me when I was a child. Junior High and High School were both fashion competitions & I did what I could to buy “in” clothes. Bottom line—I was never “in.” I was part of a group of nice girls who were also not “in.” It was okay.
Holly: Welcome to a great group. Post often and get to know us. :flowerforyou:
Machka: I hope you’re able to resolve the hip issue.
We are having a foggy morning. I enjoy fog now and then. It makes me feel cozy & warm inside our home.
Katla—feeling cozy in foggy NW Oregon
My mom always made our clothes, especially for the holidays- matching dresses for the three of us girls and some times, if she had time and had the fabric, she would make one for herself(that didn't happen often but matching for us three, all the time). My grandmother had sewn for mom when she was young so something I just was drawn to. Neither of my sisters ever were. The clothes she made us were almost always cotton so comfortable(except for the lace). I HATED,and still do, any type of rough fabric. Polyester was they WORST!!! I remember crying in my room if I had to wear sweaters or anything that would make me itch. If I could figure out how to wear a cotton shirt under it I was ok. Tags are another thing- still cant stand them. Ruined many shirts growing up until I learned how to carefully take tags out without making wholes in them. The first thing I do now is take tags off.
When shopping for clothes, I FEEL them first- no mater how cute, how cheap, etc- if it doesn't feel good, it is staying at the store. I don't buy clothes online because I can't feel them first.
I thought "tagless" things where they just print the label inside was great until after a while the tag starts to get rough- Found a trick to fix that- iron it! It melts it back flat.

Used yesterday’s 2+ hrs in DDS chair as an excuse to leap off the rails. Worst CI over CO is a long time. Down 1.1 lbs this am. [sigh]
Viv I’m horrified to hear of the violence of dog thefts there. Dogs are thieves’ targets here too, but haven’t heard of such in person aggression, mostly just taken from yards, cars, etc. One sad case was a dog who appeared on the local TV news’ dog behavior modification segment. The next day it was reported as missing… a very cute miniature schnauzer. Makes me doubly grateful we live out in the woods, both dogs are barky and never left here alone. One of us is always home… and prepared.
Kate
:laugh:
Karen in VA thanks for touching base.
Heather your tailoring skills, wow! My one attempt at sewing a blouse was a complete disaster. Cut it so the pattern went UP the front…. and Down the back. :sick: like Annie's grape drapes, but not so attractive.
Kim “now if just they could make sure that computers only need help during those hours.” Yeah right. Last night we couldn’t print to the firehouse printer and I couldn’t figure it out so had to dash home and print the forms on mine. Never let a computer or printer know you are in a hurry or really need something … What lucky nephew and god-kids you have!
Julie 4.5 hrs is something to celebrate. Well done!
Carol maybe the vaccine is supposed to protect us from the worst of the virus? If so, we’re getting vaccinated to keep from ending up in the hospital or dying, worth a few cold symptoms and a sore arm imho.

Debbie I’ve long disliked the miniscule “servings” the food industry uses to fool us into thinking their product fits within our plan. Another pet peeve I’ve complained about here more than once, volume vs wt. A tablespoon of mayonnaise does NOT weigh 14 g even when levelled off. More like twice that. That’s why I grumpily went to a food scale. The difference is crucial. Like you I used to hate polyester, not because of the itch but because it made me stinky sweat. Funny thing now, I have some velveteen polyester pajamas that are soft and cozy and don’t make me sweat. Guess they’ve improved it.
Michele how old were you when you lost your mother?
Machka “It is always messier before it gets better. However, I am trying to do it in sections. I feel like I'm working with one of those sliding puzzles. The blanket box in the middle of the dressing room is my "free space". I empty a drawer, put the contents of a shelf into that drawer, put the contents of the drawer onto the shelf and so on.” Exactly. That’s one of the many reasons I procrastinate until there is a big chunk of empty time available. But thanks for the sliding puzzle piece image, that will help as I loved doing them. Good luck with the GP, did the physio give you a clue what the hip problem might be?
Tracey that life skills middle school sounds inspired! Surprised that staff that already had Covid got vaccinated? Thought having Covid would give the immunity the vaccine is supposed to… ??? Rejoicing to hear Dillon opened his eyes. Miracles do happen. Mickey and Winnie.
Vicki sorry to hear about the extra hours and vacation cancellation. Also sorry to hear you have to go through the search/hire process yet AGAIN.
Annie would love to see a pic of your handwoven lace valance.
Rebecca another rebel! :laugh:
Lisa Levi, but “about to start running” uh oh.
Welcome @HealthierMeforlife2016 Holly! Jump right in, we’re glad you’re here!
KJ, Beth and Annie and all you gals that shovel snow, wow. Just wow.
Pip I like it too. If you haven’t moved in yet, go for it, do it now.
Katla ditto what you said about fog. Good thing, being a coastal gal most of my life.
Today’s challenge will be to get some step breaks in as I start tackling the vehicle grant application. Big girl panties UP!
Lighter, lovelies!

Barbara - I also made my crêpe de chine wedding dress, from a Nina Ricci pattern. Gorgeous. It had pants under a wrap skirt and a big bow in the front.
I wore an Indian silver necklace and earrings i bought in Oxford Street. Unfortunately I washed it after wearing it once again for my 21st birthday party. 
Duck was fabulous. DH found a Pinot Noir to go with it.
I'm living in Paris at the moment. One moment I'm in a smart upmarket area, the next I'm down in the grimy suburbs. I have a tenuous grip on reality.
Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx1 -
You can't see the pants, but I was very proud of breaking the bounds. 1970. I was 20.

Afternoon ladies,
Just checking in... still laying low.. here is hoping i gain some strength soon...
Clothes, i was in parocheal school so uniforms until 6th grade and back then my mom would go to thrift shops for clothes . And i didnt get normal clothes until i hit high school and got a job.Even working part time i always gave part of my paycheck to my parents...
Still have the wound vac and im hoping it gets taken off tomorrow...
Then the life vest goes back on.. ugh
I cant wait to feel normal again... and i know it will come hopefully soon.10 -
I fell apart on diet today. I had cookies and a buttered roll. It makes such a convenient snack, even when the apples and oranges are right there. Oh well there's always room for improvement.
Let's hope that exercise goes well. I'm working up to doing push-ups, but my right elbow is being an obstacle.

Foggy morning here but the afternoon has been beautiful. It is 48* but supposed to get down into the 20s tonight and for the rest of the week. Spent some time redoing the insulation on the outdoor faucet near the cabin. Hopefully that will keep it from freezing. The faucet for the horses is freeze proof thank goodness although what is in the trough may partly freeze. Tomorrow morning may find me carrying hot water from the house to thaw the goat's bucket and breaking up ice in the horse trough. How many calories do you suppose that could burn?
Need to drink more water today, otherwise doing well.
Allie- good to see you posting.
Pip - that floor is beautiful. How easily will it scratch or does it have a really good clear coat?
Everyone take care Sue in WA0 -
For the abc challenge today, I am on F
we went for a walk around a frozen pond and along the forest trail at Sharon Woods MetroPark until we could no longer feel our face. 71 minutes of active time. 3.2 miles walked. 288 calories burned.
Dee, from Dec 2010 - Apr 2015 I lived very close to Sharon Woods Metro Park! I would walk over there, walk around the large loop, and then walk back home. Including the walk to/from my apartment, it was about 5 miles! It's such a beautiful park and I loved that walk! Small world!! 2 -
It's really cold here in Wisconsin this week..im staying in my calories and getting my water in and my steps.. thank you for the warm welcome5

DH has been doing some rewiring in our hot press (linen cupboard) and I was sorting through all the linen and find three pairs of curtains that I made we first got married along with several quilt covers. Not sure what to do with them. They don't fit the king-size bed we now have and they don't go with the decor anymore.Anniesquats100 wrote: »I made my own curtains a few times, including a handwoven lace valance.

Tracey: I think you're right about the vaccines, especially with all the variants that seem to be coming along. I think they will probably need to tweak them each year to take that into account. Also agree that they probably won't stop us getting Covid but just mean we will get milder versions and hospitalisation/deaths will be much reduced.0 -
Good luck with the GP, did the physio give you a clue what the hip problem might be?
There's a good chance it is actually my back - around about the L3 area. Chances are it is osteoarthritis. But I'm hoping for an MRI to confirm.Tracey that life skills middle school sounds inspired!

Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD
No ... they're still vaccinating if you've had it. Thing is ... if you had it last June or July or earlier, you've likely lost your immunity. They don't know for sure how long immunity lasts and I've seen anywhere from about 3 months to 9 months.

Our boiler went off today, it was working but making a noise as if something were loose. DH and his brother found what they thought was the problem. Sorted it, put offending part back, kaput, no heat. Got a fan heater going in the lounge which is toasty but of course no hot water. It’s freezing here and tomorrow night and Thu morning temperatures are forecast to be between -2 and-8 over the country. Here’s hoping they sort it tomorrow, they are both really good at this sort of thing.

Did a body pump video today. The plan for tomorrow is to do a Shape Cardio DVD
Vince has known since November that I needed new tires. He and Jess both laughed at me for reminding Vince in December that I needed them. Well, we’re leaving for FL probably Thursday. He just today took my car in for the tires. Now if they had to order them and have them shipped, we wouldn’t have had time. I think I’m going to mention this to him so that he MAY decide to do things in advance. MAY Update: I mentioned it to him and he was saying how working with a large chain has its advantages, if they need something they can usually get it from another store nearby. Well, I tried.
Holly – welcome, you youngun’. Of course, you’re more than welcome
M – take care of that hip. Hope the GP can help
The COVID numbers are definitely going down. I just hope that with all the superbowl parties, etc. the numbers continue to go down
Has anyone else been getting friend requests lately that have been “crude”. I can’t think of another word. Suggestive? X-rated? Wonder what’s going on?
Sewing: I’m pretty good as long as it’s a straight seam that needs to be made. I’ll shorten tablecloths, etc. Maybe even fix a seam or two. But that’s IT
Just came back from getting the second shot. So far…no reaction. Let’s hope it stays this way
Barbara – I was 9 when my mother died. I believe once you’ve had COVID the immunity lasts only a few months
Unfortunately, we can’t pack the car until after bowling tomorrow night. I just like to have the car all packed so we can leave early the next day. I hate getting there late in the day, there’s very few places to get any dinner. Then I’ll do some food shopping the next day. I also want to stop at the workout place to get all signed up. It’ll be worth the $$ for me. Just hope it isn’t rainy in FL when we get there. One thing that I really do not like to do is drive in the dark in the rain. Driving in the dark isn’t so bad, but not with rain added to the mix.
Heather – Is that you???? Your father did a fantastic job on the cake.
Well, got just about everything in the suitcase.
The MD office just called so I called them back (fortunately, I was near my phone and heard it vibrate). Seems they have the COVID vaccine in and they were taking appointments. I told them that my husband and I were going for our second one today. Then as long as we don’t have any serious side-effects, off we go Thursday (can’t wait…can you tell?)
Thinking of Allie
Picked up my car. Had to get new brakes, too.
Kate UK – hope the boiler gets sorted out.

I got one yesterday. I deleted it, of course. I just don't get why they have to come here with that stuff. There are online dating sites for such things.

Husband signed up for shot 3 hours away. Given his age and cancer glad he is doing this. It is too far for me. We will still be in this dangerous cold and I don't want to drive that far with Drew. We would have to leave her in the car when we get our shots. Not okay with this cold. I will have to wait. They are starting to have a few in local pharmacies. Hopefully once much vacine is available it will be easier to get. DH will also have to go back to to get second dose. If it is warmer we will go with him.2

It’s good for pets so we’re good in that department0 -
Lisa - my daughter tells us her that her puppy has the zoomies all the time.
Levi is adorable
Okie - I have pictures of myself through the years. When I was little I had curls, then straight as can be, then perms, then wavy and now curly. It’s so strange. If perms weren’t so expensive I would get another one to take the frizz. My daughter can’t do them though as she is allergic to the solution.
Kelly - We have hired out shovelling late last Winter and this year. We found a guy that does it for $15. I can’t do it with my back and Rodger’s hand hurts so bad in the cold where his finger was amputated that it’s worth it to us. I admire that you are doing that, and chasing after kids for hours each day. It probably helps keep you young, although you probably don’t feel it at times.
Heather - thank you, yes I have a friend I can chat with. Three usually, 2 right now. I also have my husband.
You were a beautiful bride, how special to have your Dad make the cake.
Debbie - When my youngest was 4 we have her a mild spiral perm to try to tame the curls. We just kept it braided mostly. My Grandfather was quite upset with me one day to think we had bleached her hair, it was actually from the sun and the braids it was looking pretty bleached.
Barbara - “don’t let a computer or printer know you’re in a hurry” Isn’t that the truth!
Residents and staff alike that had Covid have been encouraged to get the vaccine. I had thought the same as you but apparently that is not the case.
Sue - I wonder if we could buy freeze proof faucets for our home. Our water froze this morning and we got that going but now have a problem where the sink won’t drain.
It’s weird, it blocked completely suddenly. No warning.
Kate - You’re fortunate that your husband and BIL can fix those. Ours went out last year and it was over 500 to fix.
Our water froze this morning, Rodger got it going but now the sink won’t drain. If it’s not one thing it’s another.
Michele - I don’t even look at friend requests. If they aren’t a familiar name from here or another thread I follow, I just hit the X.
Margaret - it’s a shame you couldn’t go too. You probably could have gotten an appointment 1/2 an hour later so you could switch Drew duty.
I went to physio today and she says I’m getting one step forward and two back.
I am not in as much pain as I was but I’m still terribly inflamed. She asked me what I had done since Saturday and when I went through what I had done she informed me it was cleaning my fridge. I have new restrictions, no squatting, no bending, no sitting for long periods and no standing for long periods. I’m not to do anything until she gives me the go ahead.
She asked me if I had an adult at home that could help me. When I was telling Rodger this he laughed and said “did you tell her no, just your husband”😂
I’m glad he said it and not me. Although to be fair, when I ask he helps I just hate asking.
So I am moving around more, continuing with the exercises she has given me and mostly still doing nothing. Very frustrating. She was concerned my benefits would run out but I looked and I have 14 sessions left for this year and the new year starts April 1.
Well I should go ice my hip.
It seems strange how much that helps.
It is currently -27 with a feels like of -41.

Hello MFP buddies. Hope you are all doing ok. We had our first shot this afternoon. It was Hard to decide to take it or not but in the end we decided it might protect us from a different strain from the one we had. Some doctors say immunity lasts for four months some say eight months. They really don’t know unless you have an antibody test.
We have been able to play golf for several weeks so my strength is getting better.
I have missed reading about your lives.
