We have very little pigment in our skin-- and have trouble keeping it in our hair! My grey hair? did i forget to mention I am a natural blond! last i checked, most hair dyes uses organic compounds like ammonia and water and oxygen to dye hair-- so who is to say its not natural?

Well, then you're fine! If you measure from the top down, and make sure your feet reach the floor-- well what difference where you started? But if your feet didn't reach the floor--sure that could be a problem! my father is 5' 1", and my mother 5' 2"-- at 5' 5" i am the tallest of all my siblings. Once as i slipped into the last available seat in a movie theater, the "gentleman" behind me, exclaimed, Oh good-- someone short!-- I turn around and informed him i was not short-- (and i don't think i am, even as i admit I am not tall.. ) my other obsession Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Silks #17426 01/30/01 10:23 PM Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 3,146 Northamptonshire, England Capital Kiwi Carpal Tunnel Capital Kiwi Carpal Tunnel Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 3,146 Northamptonshire, England ...who work with briefs ... and, what's more, they're other people's briefs!

Well, not quite true, since they are responsible for writing the briefs-- even if they do it on someone elses behalf-- but are they brief? In US briefs! can run hundreds of pages--and be anything but brief!
