no boys allowed in the room!!!!

i went no-poo for a year and a half (baking soda/water, twice a week, instead) but stopped out of a combination of laziness and the fear that it was making my hair go grey quicker. I don't know if it was a stressful life or I was just paying more attention but I kept finding whitehairs, started remembering that my grandmother's hair had gone white in her thirties, got a bit worried.

that can't happen though!

that no-poo sends you grey? it seemed unlikely, but i thought if I was getting all frettish about it I might as well stop.

fair enough

also, laziness. and getting fed up w/ suspicion that I smelt of vinegar but couldn't tell any more.

HEY!

disgraceful.

no farting!

lol @ chuckie and jaws squabbling before the last break

I don't think I've seen that Exclamation stuff since the early 90s - is it back? Has it consistently been around and I just haven't noticed it until now?

Are those various permutations of Love's Baby Soft on the left of the (!) stuff?

One time in junior high when we were on the band bus to a holiday parade in a neighboring town, one of the majorettes, a perky little popular gal, told me that she kept the rubber ends of her baton from smelling funny by soaking them in Love's Baby Soft. I remember being impressed by her ingenuity, her femininity, and her access to enough Love's Baby Soft to soak something in it.

I bought mom Exclamation gor Christmas-she lives the stuff! I think it's been kicking around all these years..

xp Jenny - yeah - Love's Baby Soft variants.

What did they smell like normally?

Love's Baby Soft? Or baton ends? Or Finefinemusic's mom?

lol - the baton ends.

Oh. Many drug-addled years have past since my junior high band days so my memory is hazy, but I think they smelled like some kind of industrial, rubbery, chemical somethingorther of the sort that probably resulted in a high percentage of former majorettes developing various cancers later in life.

kinda like those black welcome mats?

I don't know what those smell like, but that seems like it would be an apt comparison.

they have a weird faux-rubber kinda chemical smell that smells a bit like some highly-artificial snack food that I can't identify because it's the kind of thing I'd see in the stores and think it looks really gross.

oh geez http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/31/books/31babysitters.html

Editors at Scholastic updated some of the references to technology and outdated fashions in the reissued books. So a “cassette player” has become “headphones” and a “perm” has become “an expensive hairstyle.”

I hate when they do this. ( Are You There God, It's Me, Margaret, I am looking at you.)

you pieces of shit iirc

nowadays if i see anything to do with james franco this thread springs to mind and i say to myself fondly, those blimmin girls.

James Franco has still not accepted my friend request on facebook. Mad at him now.

that's terrible, he accepted mine with alacrity.

Hmpf.

that was my first lie for 2010, i'm not even on facebook.

Yeah for some reason I didn't think you were.

uh, leave him alone imo

haw :D

Yes, I notice that you two are facebook engaged. Is he aware of this fact? Hmmm?

enbb, if you knew i wasn't on facebook that means you falsely hmpfed me.

The hmpf was not intended to be taken seriously. However if I thought that you were on FB and had not friended me then you some serious hmpfing might be directed your way.

i would friend you, and all the other rotten francophiles.

:D

he had to approve it iirc

simmer down, ladies!

I for one am now completely confused.

lol

being confused can be fun!

i found my old muppet movie lunchbox while cleaning the kitchen today. Did anyone else have lunchboxes as kids, what kind of lunchboxes. I think I had a Lassie one, and also a Pigs in Space one.

i had one, that i still have, that was a legend of zelda/super mario bros. hybrid, with slightly more zleda/link motifs than mario ones. it was royal blue: my favorite color then and now.

i also had a neon orange nkotb one
