I put green streaks in my hair when
we were dying Easter Eggs the
year I was 10 years old, never
thinking it would become such a
popular/commonplace thing
in the future.

How to use vegetable food coloring in your hair, which lasts for two washes:

To dye your hair with food coloring, mix your chosen color with vinegar, and dip-dye hair one section at a time. To avoid staining your hands during the process, wear latex gloves. While this may negatively impact your dexterity, food coloring does not wash off the skin immediately.

1. Choose and mix your color
   When selecting a color for your dip-dye mixture, remember that a brighter hue is achieved by adding a higher ratio of food coloring to vinegar. For a bright hue, mix 1/8 teaspoon of food coloring with 2.5 cups of white vinegar.
   
   
2. Divide hair into four low ponytails
   Fasten each small ponytail with an elastic band. If you want thinner sections of dyed hair, create more ponytails using a little less hair in each.
   
   
3. Apply dye from the ends up
   Soak the end of the ponytail in the mixture, then work the dye up the ponytail toward the root with your hands. Apply a thinner layer as you approach the transition point, or the spot where you want the color to fade into your natural color. Repeat on each ponytail.
   
   
4. Wrap in tinfoil and let set
   Let the color soak into the hair for 10 to 45 minutes based on the level of color you want. Letting the color sit longer results in a brighter hue. Rinse hair until water runs clear.

is that you Mia?
does it wash out by the end of a weekend?

No Mael that's not me. But I like the colour.

It washes out after two shampoos, if your hair is very light coloured it might take a total of three washes.

Interesting things:

The cucamelon are also referred to as ’Mexican gherkins’ and ’mouse melons.’

It shares the same genus as both the cucumber and the watermelon. Each one grows no larger than a grape, but its coloration is exactly like that of a watermelon.

If you can’t get your hands on a cucamelon, growing your own is actually quite simple. It’s a low-maintenance plant that will soon provide you with a large crop of mini watermelons.

I was going to post the photo, but I thought it might gross somebody out.

"This disgusting creature might remind you of the one in Alien vs. Predator, mainly because the movie was actually inspired by it. Behold the tongue of the parasite from hell. If you wish to never encounter the “Organ Replacer” make sure you stay as far away from the Gulf of California as possible. But why exactly does it have such an “odd” looking mouth? What it basically does is inserts itself in the mouth of a fish and sucks out all the blood until it atrophies an dies. In the end, the tongue of the fish will be replaced by the parasite which will live on the rest of its life feeding on its muscles, blood and mucus."

I hear the phrase "You are the apple of my eye" and all I can think is having an actual apple for an eye.

I wish I could read thoughts.

Often wonder if that was the only fruit they ever had, back in the old days.

"One of the problems identifying apples in
religion, mythology and folktales is that
as late as the 17th century, the word "apple"
was used as a generic term for all (foreign)
fruit other than berries, but including nuts."

Wow, that's really interesting tree! I never knew that... learn something new everyday!

I have had people tell me to "keep my eyes peeled" while looking for something. Admittedly, I have never done that. But it seems to me, that would hurt really bad.

"Oh, where is the sea?" the fishes cried,
As they swam the crystal clearness through,
"We've heard from of old of the ocean's tide,
And we long to look on the waters blue.
The wise ones speak of the infinite sea.
Oh, who can tell us if such there be?"

The lark flew up in the morning bright,
And sung and balanced on sunny wings;
And this was its song: "I see the light,
I look o'er a world of beautiful things;
But, flying and singing everywhere,
In vain I have searched to find the air."

I was given a yardstick recently to add to my collection of automobilia and oddities. After some research online,I was able to identify my latest addition and some history of the dealership.It was located in Philadelphia Pennsylvania USA and operated from the early 1950s until 1975. My fascination with this is due to always being fond of the 1965 Chevy Impala since they were new and eventually owning her younger sister,my 1966 Caprice.

I presently live about 300 miles away from Philly.

Several years back I discovered at Gram's house about fifteen yardsticks, all from various era's. They all are related to a local hardware store that's still owned by the family. I attached them to a thin piece of wood using wood glue, and made them into a pretty neat yardstick shelf without cutting them in any way.

I'd put up a pic but it has the local name and address and town all over it, so that's not happening

I've been hearing a lot about 'emotional intelligence' recently. Finally read something about it. And my conclusion is: When I was young we called this 'maturity'.
