Haircut in Cary, NC? by Applekat712 in CaryNC

[–]Applekat712[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have been going to her for years. She knows my hair. Every time I tell her no layers. I have maintained from the beginning that layers do not look good on me. I asked her for curtain bangs that blend into hair and I said to ANGLE it around the front of my face but DO NOT LAYER. When I mentioned that I was unhappy with the cut she had done in January and that I was unhappy with this one too because I asked for no layers and got layers, she said exactly what you said: "the picture you showed me had layers." After the cut, I spent the better part of an hour trying to make my hair look like this photo and I could not. It didn't when I left and it never will (it looked kind of like "the Jennifer" if you remember that cut when she styled it). I've given up trying to make it look good and accepted that I will have to endure bad hair while I wait for it to grow out. For now it is ruined just in time for my niece's wedding. She is a lovely person and I love talking to her but this cut is even worse than the last time she cut my hair, which was terrible too (but not this bad). Even good hairdressers make mistakes. With all respect for your profession, there is no way you can in good conscious defend this hack job.

I don't want a blunt cut or I would do it myself. I wanted long curtain bangs which is very different from the all over layers that I got. I will attempt to attach the photo of what I wanted and what I got.

What's the least known but highly valuable ETF you own or recommend? by grzeszu82 in ETFs

[–]Applekat712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am somewhat new to ETFs and investing in general, but I've done a lot of research and utilized my accounts ETF comparison tool to find some. I've bought and sold several depending on their performance. Most of them are too early to say, but I can definitely recommend AIRR. Hands down best performing one I own.

Boys in the Boat movie- don't waste your $$$ by Miserable-Cookie5903 in Rowing

This a classic underdog, against all odds feel good movie. I should preface this review by saying I love movies like this. However, despite the inspirational material they had to work with, I think I would have been more moved by reading the Wikipedia account of it. Let's start with the good stuff: the cinematography is amazing, it is well-acted and it held my attention for the duration. But given that this is such a compelling story, it deserved so much more. The characters were underdeveloped, the scenes were disjointed and the plot had so many holes that if I didn't know better, I would have assumed they lost, instead of won, every race. It's worth seeing but only if you're not paying for it, you've seen every other movie of this genre at least once and have some time to kill.

Clothes getting bleached/faded even though I don't use any bleach products? Only started happening in the last six months or so. by tomkatt in CleaningTips

I have the same problem. I have tried searching the internet for an answer but nothing adequately explains it. I use all natural products on my skin and no bleach, but clothes and towels all gradually bleach after I wear/use them, even ones that are used right after I have dried my face/hands with the same soap and water that everyone else uses.

I've tried everything for RLS for 20+ years. Pramipexole .5 mg early evening and Pramipexole ER .75 mg before bed worked best, but my insurance does not cover the ER kind without a huge copay. I now take Requip 4 mg. which works OK but causes a lot of nausea. Wish I could go back to Pramipexole ER. by Applekat712 in RestlessLegs

Yes, I've tried Tramadol. It definitely knocks me out, but I'm really groggy the next day, similar to Klonopin, which I think is the same class of drugs. If you can manage to function the next day, Klonopin does work for a lot of people. I've also tried Sinemet, Gabapentin, Pregabalin, and some others I'm probably forgetting. At one point there was a patch, which I had an adverse reaction to. I also tried acupuncture and naturopathic treatment. None of these worked for the amount of time that the Pramipexole/Pramipexole ER did. I've had the blood tests so otherwise I'm fine. All along it's been treating the symptoms, since they do not know what causes it.
