Loreal will cover the gray. Try an ash blonde shade. SM

Posted By: Lulu on 2005-12-21
In Reply to: Hair coloring question - desertbloom.

That is what I do and when my white starts growing in at the sides, it blends in nicely. Looks like highlights.

Professional color looks amazing, but costs a fortune. You can do it yourself, but don't use the inexpensive brands, stick to the better ones. They will cover the white.

Is it gray highlighting or is the text actually gray?
The highlighting would mean that the text is in a field and that doesn't print, it just shows on your screen. You can turn that display off Tools.
All Chris did was cover the band Live's cover of the song. He
didn't do anything special.

I want to start coloring my own hair. Loreal, is it easy to use?
been coloring my own w/Loreal for 30+ yrs...sm

I go to the beauty supply store and buy my color in bulk, L'Oreal Light Auburn 6.6 and I buy their (L'Oreal) cream developer.  You use equal parts (if you use 2 oz of color you have to use 2 oz of ANY cream developer - doesn't have to be L'oreal's) and you have to section (just like the OLD way of doing it) your hair in quarters first and apply color to the 4 sections you have just created, and then 1/4 inch sections from there to apply the color to each very thin section - to the roots first for 25 minutes and then you bring it all out for 15 more minutes IF it's a touch-up.  If it's the first time you are ever applying color, you have to leave it on everywhere for 45 minutes!!  There's also an 800 number on their (L'Oreal) products for any help you need with live operators! 


L'Oreal does still test on animals I do believe, and that's a shame, but their color (end result) just seems to be the best, in my opinion, and for decades I have thought this.  Many are trying to get them to quit testing on animals though, and I support that also!


Also it's one-quarter the price buying the color directly from Sally's Beauty Supply (any beauty supply store) versus the combo box that is sold in the grocery store or pharmacy (that's about $9 for a one application combo in my area versus $2.69 per each 2 oz bottle of color from Sally's).


Hope that helps (HTH) 


Any very greyed shade....
....of just about any color.  A couple of my favorites are a very greyed rose or green. Sometimes you just have to play around a little to see what works best for you. And sometimes, even though you like a particular shade, switching to another after a while will refresh your eyes.
I've only seen that pinky-purple shade when the monitor

I'm a blonde. I need that line! :-) nm

I get offended by blonde jokes. They're not funny at all.

Especially, after hearing them over and over again from people who think they're being "clever".  In addition, I don't know how many times people have told me to prove that I'm a real blonde.  Like they can't tell from my eyebrows.  Duh, really funny and so original.  I've never heard that one before.


We blondes do have to overcome the stereotype.  People think we're stupid or promiscuous just because we're blonde.  Scoff all you want to, but it's true.  No, we don't have it as tough as minorities do at all, but nobody ever takes us seriously either.  I'd give examples of real life discrimination and harrassment in the workplace, but why bother?  Everyone just thinks they're being funny or clever.


I hear ya. I'm a natural blonde turning white sm

At first the box stuff worked pretty good. Now I have a huge "skunk stripe" on the left side of my forehead and I'm starting to grow another "skunk stripe" on the left side.


After a while the box stuff only calms down the different texture of the white stuff for a few weeks so if you wear a few bangs, you need to cut them to match after dying. 3 weeks later the bangs with the white stuff are suddenly a good half inch shorter again.


Needless to say, for the time being I have the "off the forehead"  look that makes my head look like two breakdown lanes on a highway.


I'm saving my money. The initial shock for the "makeover" is scary, but my 2 sisters told me to go for it as the upkeep isn't too bad at all. They would both be snow white in their late 40's if it weren't for visits to the salon.


I'm headed in the same direction and I'm early 40's. My husband, who went white by 38, told me to just go natural.


I told him to kiss my natural behind.


 


No, its gray
No, the text is actually gray and shows up when it is printed.  I'm starting to think it is the autotext for some reason I can't figure out so I guess I'll get an Expander when I can afford it.

I have not watched it yet, I did tape it.  I will watch tonight.  I understand, I am totally addicted to that show.  I never want it to end!

DAVID GRAY and tiramisu.

I exercise my gray matter more than most..sm

so I believe it's from having TOO MUCH ON YOUR PLATE.....*l* - really, more responsibilities, more things to remember......all that stuff.....so who would remember typing the report.


What's great is....if someone down the road ASKED you about that certain report(s), MQ, QA, or an MD's office....you'd most certainly remember it......*LOL*


So, it's only the short-term memory that is affected FIRST *l* - that and the eyes.......first to go *rofl* 


sigh...another report to add gray to the head
Doing a psych eval on a patient I really got caught up in, one of those sad cases that can get to you, feelingbad for the family, traumatic brain injury after an MVA, 23 with 1 yr old twins....has not been the same since, hence needed a psych consult on admission.  IF I typed this phrase once I typed it 20 times "patient very highly distressed and anxious"....well so was I by the time I spend 45 minutes for 68 lines...nope, not ESL, but all American good ol boy, must have had a beard, can't figure out what the static & noise was, but noticed when he blew my ear drums out it was there,,,when he strained them, it was'nt..not sure why he felt he had to whisper on parts then break the sound barrier on others  anyway...signed off before another one of HIS reports..geez!
I used to have a cat named Dorothy too. She was gray and white.

GRAY TYPE MAKING ME BLUE
A gray type keeps showing up on documents I type in word.  If I highlight the whole document the font and style boxes in the toolbar will say the same font and style for the whole document but there is still a gray text here and there.  I think it might somehow be in an autotext I use.  I even remove all formatting when I am done and then reformat it but it will still show up occasionally after that.  It is driving me nuts.  Has anyone ever heard of a glitch like this?  I could try not using any autotext but I would lose way too much time.
That's not her problem. Gray text is "here and there."

My gray talks like crazy. People on the phone will often ask who is there with me.
:+
yes, hair can turn prematurely gray from stress
I hate days like that - when every dictator is bad (and when half the reports maybe get sent to QA).  Bless your heart for the struggle!!! 
Either online or hardcopy anatomy reference, like Gray's. (nm)

I think it is tied into working at home and not exercising the gray matter, except for MT stuff.

It is about more cover up
There isn't one thing liberal about it.  It is about, as noted, covering it, glossing right by it .. better than the rest of us .. rules don't count .. do what you want .. you run the show attitude that these idiots have adopted in their bid to right wing the world and do what they want.  Does Dick Cheney really need to be out shooting birds???  My God, he actually makes George look like the smart one now!!  Scares me too death to know these fools are in the woods playing with guns.
Just have to cover yourself

I have an account that asks that I  not use subcontractors but for vacation it is okay and I know if I had a two week illness or something they would be okay with it but for everday use, they don't want anyone but me.  But again, I only work with verbal contracts and I know that means I could be let go at any time but so could they.  I have asked my accounts every year for the past seven to ten years if they want a contract and they say no need for it.  So we just keep on plugging along with each other. 


Most likely will not cover
Unless they are considered a "dependent" and living with your or their main residence is with you when not attending college, they will not cover.  Once they reach the age of 18, they must be attending college/school full-time and you have t have a form filled out by the school.  Sorry. 
Go with Light or Extra Light Ash Blonde as

Is this the same as Sheer Cover?
and wondered if it was any good; it's less expensive than Bare Minerals, I think. It seemed that in the infomercials, they applied a lot of concealer beforehand, so I was wondering what the difference was from using liquid makeup and then powder to set. ?
I use Sheer Cover . .
They let me order only two times a year. They also break the payments into two payments. I was going to cancel, and they said I could get the kit without the face wash and moisturizer, so it's a pretty good deal. I like it very much.
You can cover dependents (but I think it's SM
pretty pricey) and office copays are $20. 
WC does not cover CPS any longer. They sm
have determined that it is not caused by typing. Can you believe that?????
Take the cover off the litterbox.

Cover letter
I am a professional resume writer, as well as an MT for some years now. It is advisable to send a cover letter with the resume as it shows you have an interest in the company and it is a means of introducing yourself. If I can be of further help, please e-mail me.
So, if I hire someone to cover a specific
eight-hour period and she decides she wants to stop after six hours and spend the last two hours of her shift making dinner, how is the work that comes in during those two hours supposed to get done? Or does that not matter in your world? I have contractual TAT to meet, and I determine schedules on that basis, not on someone's dinner plans. If an employee of mine agrees to cover a specific period of time but fails to do so for something other than a legitimate emergency (and the OP was clearly already making plans not to work the full eight hours of her shift), then that employee is fired. I can do that. I have done that. I don't care how much work gets done in the first six hours. If someone has a specific eight-hour shift, it's because there is work to be done during all eight hours. Leaving the last two hours of work undone on a whim could put me out of business. I will not allow some little princess to do that to me.
A good of thumb is 30%, that should cover everything.

Well, I read in the cover story of the TV...sm

I read in the TV book a story about this season of the Sopranos and they did say Tony does get knocked off....but Uncle Jr is the only one in the house, completely flipped out, and Carmela is out and about but about to get in her new car and drive home.  I'm thinking that Tony dies and she has got that new car and perhaps the police will think she had motive to kill him........ohno....


Uncle Jr is totally *out to lunch* at the moment in my opinion. 


Thanks for the optimism though!!! 


be sure your insurance will cover surgery AFTER sm
he's going to lose so much weight the skin will be hanging and a lot of insurance companies will not pay for "cosmetic" procedures like tummy tucks, etc. to get rid of the excess skin. Just be aware. Good luck!!
question about cover letters
If the job ad says send your resume, do you send a cover letter also?
When account specifics does not cover

I usually refer to BOS and it states to add the year if not stated -  if you are sure of the year.  Also - interestingly enough - it says if you are doing long dictation and doc says labs done on April 4, 2006 are.........and then says additonal labs 4/5.... okay to used slashed date - this is on page 121 of BOS edition 2 if you are interested.   That being said don't think you would be WRONG to leave off the year if it is verbatim account :))


The disney tickets cover 4 parks so you are not set in where you go- sm
They cover Disney, Epcot, Animal Kingdom and MGM-Studios. With a park hopper pass you can bounce between all 4 Disney parks in 1 day and it only counts as 1 day/ticket. Without the hopper option you can only go to 1 park that day, of course these are a little cheaper. Check out the Disney web site, it will explain all the ticket options so you know what to ask for when you do get your tickets. Universal is separate, is 2 parks in one basically, one side is more kid oriented than the other. Sea World is separate too, they have a few rides there now too.
homeowners ins doesn't cover this? *curious*

I have an HMO for Small Business Owners.  I also have homeowner's insurance and I have my computers fully stealthed (per HIPAA laws) so no crackers/hackers can gain access.  Actually I have many programs protecting all this medical record stuff.  But I thought homeowner's covered the professional liability insurance when we own our homes and work from home (?)


Oh well, I am sure that Florida will be one of the last states to change over for MTs.  *lol* - perhaps by then, I'll be out of the business/retired/permanent vacation...isn't THAT wishful thinking now?!...HAHAHAHA


I use the stereo headphone type that cover - sm
your whole ear. My first set (Aiwa) cost about $30 and lasted about 3 years, second, bought an expensive ($130) noise-cancelling set (Sony). They lasted about 18 months and were not as comfortable and went bad (one side has a bad hum to it now and are unusable---cord pulled out from plug --I unplug them at least several times a day to listen through the speakers --helps me get words I cannot "hear", guess it could not handle that). Just got a set of Maxells for $35, also noise cancelling (don't use that option though), that are very comfortable, block out lots of noise and with any luck will last a long time. I may just go buy another set now so I have them for backup when the time comes, hopefully in 3-4 years. --So obviously it depends on the brand and how hard you are on them.
They can't "tell you when" to work, but if they need someone to cover certain hours ...
such as noon to 8 pm it's up to you whether to accept the work or not, you are still an IC. I had a job doing radiology where I "had" to be online between certain hours and work had a 4-hour TAT. I was an IC, I only had to work those hours because I AGREED to it. So in effect I did "choose" to work those hours, I could have turned down the job if I didn't want to work those hours.

Thanks in advance


No extra pay here either- IC gotta cover my client's account.

Your cost estimate is about right. Lots of insurances don't cover it. nm
When I was considering it, my insurance (Aetna) wouldn't cover the Band and I seriously considered going to Mexico to have it done (about $7000 at the time). I decided on a RNY instead, but Band surgery out of the country can be a great option if its researched thoroughly.
Don't think the worker privacy acts cover discussions such as this...
more likely they cover things like credit reports, evaluations, etc. It's rude to discuss in front of others, but not illegal...of course, in the US you can sue for anything.
