I am convinced that dyeing one's hair simply kills off all the existing colour cells, so you end up with more grey than when you started!<BR/>I too would love a long long plait down my back when I'm a grandmother. (Although I'd hate it if the darn grandkids yanked it!) <BR/><BR/>PS.

It was most definitely not intended, though in hindsight I can see that my comment was worded so that it would have been written that way. My reaction was to the LT's wife. Exaggeration I usually recognize when I trip over it, but you hit a nerve that is still raw after ten years of civilian life.<BR/> <BR/>I guess what I found so frustrating was that MDW had to suffer through the political nastiness while I had to pretend it didn't exist. My view is, I am certain, also colored by the fact that my wife was also on the junior end of the nastiness. <BR/> <BR/>I am glad your husband was the boss that he was - it is a rare command couple that are as good as you and he must have been.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31711654.post-1162824114352148932006-11-06T09:41:00.000-05:002006-11-06T09:41:00.000-05:00One of the things I HATED about being an Army offi...One of the things I HATED about being an Army officer was the political crap my wife had to be aware of and involved in.

I do colour my hair, I have never gotten over the gorgeous golden hair I had up until a teenager turning a mousy (now grey speckled) nothingness. <BR/><BR/>I do agree with you about the haircut though. When I am feeling haggard and old, and my face looks like only a paperbag can save it, I head off to the hairdresser, and somehow, my skin glows and firms up, my eyes sparkle and even my triple chins reduce to doubles.Aunty Evilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18433383999833031264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31711654.post-1162689948066984532006-11-04T20:25:00.000-05:002006-11-04T20:25:00.000-05:00Isabelle, I know the lady, and yes, she does still...Isabelle, I know the lady, and yes, she does still sound Irish. It is very charming. I like her for other reasons, too, but the Irishness is definitely in her favor.<BR/><BR/>Molly, this blog made me start. I had just come out of the bathroom having put the scissors down for the 10th time today. EVERY time my hair gets a certain length I go through the same thought process. Roughly: Haircuts are a foolish waste of money. Why not grow it out? (Combs hair back into nonexistent bun.) Maybe I could mousse it in place until it can be caught in a barrette. Next day: Eieiei can't stand this any longer! (Picks up hair scissors. Puts them down. Repeats several times every hour for the next 3 days.) Fourth day: Runs out to quick-cut place for a butchering. Oh well, it grows fast.<BR/><BR/>BTW, your hair looks great. Where do you get it cut, huh?Becky in FLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08068800343025195789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31711654.post-1162681753797891662006-11-04T18:09:00.000-05:002006-11-04T18:09:00.000-05:00Hello,I've been reading your blog with interest - ...Hello,<BR/><BR/>I've been reading your blog with interest - I found it the other day, I think from Meggie's. I do enjoy the way you write. I too can't be bothered dying my hair; it's still more or less brown and what's the shame in going grey, anyway? <BR/><BR/>You leave a lot of questions unanswered, I must say. Why did you leave Ireland, for example? Do you still sound Irish? Where are your other children? And so on. However, I'll keep reading.Pam https://www.blogger.com/profile/12641269043817163165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31711654.post-1162679666213157532006-11-04T17:34:00.000-05:002006-11-04T17:34:00.000-05:00Daughter dear, that is the very episode of which I...Daughter dear, that is the very episode of which I speak, and it was green,decidedly green.
