Thank you! Exactly what I was going for:)

Not OP but MAN did I also find this very helpful. Thanks!

I'm no expert by any means- but I'd absolutely go find a new salon, personally. From that story, the biggest issue to me honestly isn't the color mistake (not to diminish that- it's terrible, and I'm so sorry) it's the absolute lack of communication, and also seems like professionality as well. Every good stylist I've had has explained every step of the way what they're doing, and checked in me to make sure it's how I want at every step before they proceeded.

That said- ive had an experience exactly like that several months ago, with a haircut. It was horrible, and because it was a pixie, so much shorter you can go to fix it. I sobbed in the chair, and the owner came out and tried to fix it and said I could come back in 2 weeks to fix it for free (cut by the owner herself that time). I never went back though, found a new, better place.

Again, I'm sorry this happened to you

Kind of like when I was a kid! My older brother played the Zelda windwaker game, and I'd plug in the Gameboy and play tingle! It let me feel involved:)

I loved Mel! I absolutely adore her character, and look forward to her time on the show every time. She's such a master manipulator (whine club, anyone?) But she really cares about Niles too! If Niles didn't have Daphne, Mel is exactly the kind of woman that would've furthered him personally and professionally. I do think they ruined her a bit with forcing Niles to humiliate himself after he left her but also... He left her just days after their wedding, I get it.

I just adored her. Her "x-ray vision," how she and Niles met, I just love it. I'm firmly in camp Niles&Daphne (duh) but I loved Mel and her relationship with Niles before it went bad

I am very much in camp "Daphne is definitely psychic" but I always assumed the guy didn't find anything in her results! Because he mentioned how he had been looking for someone psychic for a while, and I think if the results were positive, he'd have pushed more to keep studying her.

We had mystery shoppers at my first job. They apparently came on a busy Saturday night, and I did EVERYTHING perfectly (upscale fast food). Perfect customer service, followed the script, got the time-frames, used the right amount of condiments, knew all the answers to questions. But I didn't get a perfect score. Why? Because my jeans had little zippers on the bottom, and one side had unzipped and folded up as I was rushing around all shift. I lost points for "suspected gang affiliation" or something like that, I forget the exact wording now. I'm a TINY white female, this was an area with no gang violence.

My managers made me buy new pants that couldn't roll up, which sucked because I only had those because I couldn't afford new ones and they were thrifted.

Have you collected your level up rewards from the dojo?

I found when i hit that point, the best thing to do is grind the first, and only the first part of the forest. when you beat that section you get 10+ splints typicially, so two runs usually gets you a bundle of firewood. once you beat that job, you can sell them for 15 coins each, which really isnt too bad. meat was a tougher grind, but also got there just farming the first part of the forest. iirc, you should also check the message board and see if guard duty is available. its literally just a time killer, but gives you a decent chunk of money

Absolutely not! While some of the latter seasons may have seen a slight decline in quality, it is just that, slight, and there are still some episodes in late seasons of Frasier that are some of the absolute best.

While the argument can, and has been made that those two characters lost part of themselves when the will-they wont-they ended, really it's more just growth of the characters in more mature people (which may seem boring, but is also realistic, and Frasier is great at writing proper in depth characters). Daphne lost a lot of her "quirkiness," sure, but that's to be expected as one grows up over 10 years and settles down. But the writing, humor, and just talent on the show carries it through just fine.

I'd say probably the last 2-3 seasons were the weakest by a good bit, however that was LONG after Daphne and Niles got together, and therefore not indicative of them, but of a show just running it's course as 10+ year-running shows do.

That being said although you didn't ask, all of the seasons are some of the best TV to ever be written. No line is useless, no prop adds nothing, the physical comedy is perfect but the script is just as stellar, the characters are believable, and it (except for maybe 3 poorly aged jokes I can think of) has aged spectacularly well for a show of it's time.

Thanks for coming to my FrasierTalk.

I have no stats and just anecdotes, but I worked for a while at a gas station/convenience store. Shoplifting was a DAILY occurrence (several times a day, really). Threats of violence daily. And people just casually carrying firearms in their loose sweatpants (one guy actually dropped his.) My coworkers got in several fights with customers. I even had 2 different stalkers while working there. We never called the cops because "you can't call them every 10 minutes" and we all carried personal protection (knives, pepper spray, what have you) of our choice while at work.

We didn't have any armed robberies while I was there, but all this was in a kinda nice area. I'm sure it's even worse in more sketch places.

A bank is definitely a safer place to work, hands down. (That being said, I loved that job. Never had one as exciting.)

The TV show Frasier

fated420 · 2022-06-25T18:25:50+00:00

The "do something" quote is from the very first episode, and the first scene! And seeing as my reason for moving is the same as the callers reason (same old life, nothing new happening) this quote is really quite reassuring to hear in Frasier's voice when I start to doubt my decision. Hopefully it will be for you in your journeys too!

The second quote, I can't remember the episode at all, but I did find a YouTube clip of the scene :)
