^Hiya.
For the first time in years, my hair is actually clean, and feel wonderfully soft. It may seem utterly mundane, but this is a big event for me, especially since I finally realized why it wasn't working, even though I constantly did everything that my hairdresser said to do: because my hair is so thick, putting the shampoo on dry only made it stick and harden in my hair. It's very ironic that I only realized that the advice itself was wrong, not me.

Geez, sounds like me when I'm talking to my parents.

Unrelated:
Sometimes, when I'm planning to explain something to someone, I find it better to just not explain anything at all...
lest they judge me for it, and then they'll just bombard me with a million questions.



Oh, I'm sorry, that does not sound like a pleasant experience.
I remember when I was younger, and we were trying out different ADD medications, and I took this one medicine called Ritalin which made me stay up all night. It was not a fun process.



Really? Okay. Guess I am just used to getting a negative reaction for expressing how I feel...

I don't think that you are negative at all. I think that you are a rather kind and encouraging person.

"Airing"... I like that rather than "venting." It sounds like I'm talking about myself on the radio.

That's really funny, because I just had exact same realization the other day! I hadn't been washing my hair well for like years and years, and then I just started rinsing it and it magically got better.

It's so fluffy.

Can you see/guess what I'm painting in these two pictures?

^^I actually started dancing last night when my hair was done blowdrying.

Holy Schmizzledoone, that's really good!

The second one is an onion.

The first one is a close-up of burnt toast.

^^^Um....a genie? A scent infuser?

Yes, that is correct! The second one is an onion

The first one is actually abstract. So it was a trick question. It is an experiment of textures, techniques, colors and shapes. It remains to be seen if I can turn it into something I'm pleased with.

Do you guys have any plans for the summer? (that you feel like sharing)
I guess it's winter for Biggles.

I'm not doing anything special. Just try and enjoy some of the seasonal activities. Like fishing, swimming in the sea (IF it's warm enough) sun bade, gather berries and mushrooms.

For Kip

don't need a prescription for benedryl here. I pick mine up in the grocery.
if you do try the ginger and decide it's worth keeping up, let your doc know next time you see him/her as ginger has other effects (such as anti-nausea and anticoagulant).

I enjoyed your skillful paintings, froya. please share more at will.

^That is nice to hear

Yes, i concur! You have a talent there Froya... Awesome art work. Would also love to see more if you are keen...

Cool, Lillikoi. I am glad you see ''airing'' can now be a positive... That is kind of what this forum is about but i do know how difficult it is, not only to put things into words but also the percieved reaction one may get... We are somewhat sensitive beings and when we have spent alot of our lives being judged it is no suprise that we often are left to internalize those thoughts. ''Airing'' can allow other people that can relate to give you their point of view often helping what you already knew but hearing it from a third party can confirm those thoughts

Also tried prozac years ago but seems i was allergic to the ''happy pill''.... go figure!
Yeah, ritalin can be a mine field! never had anything as a toddler, the only way parents would control me was through a body harness and reigns, i was a bit of a power horse as a kid haha. Once off my leash i would be running straight towards any water in sight, parents having to run into the water fully clothed... Also the first ever person to escape from kindie to walk 3/4 mile and cross numerous main roads to where i knew some swings were that i have seen on the way to kindie.. I was two at the time... Went back 20 years later and the extension they put on the gate after my successful escape attempt was still there!

Mind you i slept for 12 hours apparently and was awake for 12 hours. Parents said as far as that routine went they were grateful for, but when awake, that was another story!

Yes Froya, it is mid winter here now, 2 months away from Whitebaiting season. It is an area of fishing we are actually allowed to catch and sell ( within reason) without the tax man coming after us. Also because they are so small there is no need for them to be processed through a licensed fishmonger. So its a nice thing to be able to do during the late winter months as some of the areas are just nice to sit by and start a small camp fire and absorb nature... I have been somewhat void of the connection with nature over the last couple of years which saddens me greatly so hope i can experience what i used to again soon, maybe this coming season may be different.

Generally we eat them as fritters. just some egg whites beaten with an eggyolk, some salt and pepper and maybe a squeeze of lemon.

How did your fishing with your friend go the other day?

The hook sharpener i was talking about is similar to this:

I sharpen all my hooks again now even if new unless they are the more expensive brand as i was also missing catches, but seems since sharpening them my strike rate went up...
