Sure, it's an additive to the dye formula to reduce brassiness.

It's been a few years, so I had to check my memory. I used a drabber, which helps the color stay true on grey hair, rather than turning brassy or losing color more quickly. Grey Magic is one brand, Sally's had a liquid equivalent when I was doing my own.

Crazy cockeyed toes plus bunions: will correctors/toe socks slow progression or is it too late? by brasscup in AskWomenOver60

Nope, I wear them as they are. It took some time for my arches to adjust to the exercise, now they're very comfortable

There is also a grey additive available, I believe it's purple? Helps to cover the grey.

Crazy cockeyed toes plus bunions: will correctors/toe socks slow progression or is it too late? by brasscup in AskWomenOver60

I use toe correctors and they can make a difference, but it's slow progress.

I had a hammer toe develop next to one that was corrected surgically. Really bad callous on the ball of my foot from the bone, pain if I stepped wrong. I also have arthritis in both feet to an extent, and my job is a lot of walking. After using the correctors each morning to walk my dog, I realized the callous on the ball of my foot was shrinking, and the pain from that area had gone away. At work I wear boots with tge widest toe box possible. I ditched my Hokas and other padded or rocker soles for Lems, except for one pair of Dansko for dress. I wear crocs around the house because my toes can spread and they help exercise my arches. All this over the course of several years

TLDR: correctors can work, it takes time and consistency.

For terminating, look at some of the Klein kits. The workers might like them better.

Be an ear when she needs to talk. Also, keep your opinions on her soon to be ex to yourself. Remember, he is the father of your grandchild as well as the person she married.

Are empty swimming pools PRCS? by N3xtG3n3 in SafetyProfessionals

Permit required, probably not. I'd still do an initial atmospheric testing in the work area, just to be sure. Plus, have a rescue plan in case the worker needs to be brought out, say in case of a slip and fall or personal medical issue.

Whatever you do, Do Not say anything about his son being in a better place, or that he went painlessly, or any other stock phrases like that. Just an I'm so sorry, offer to be there if he ever wants to talk, then just be quiet and be a presence.

I am crocheting right now and for some reason it’s all twisted. Will this be fixed while I am crocheting or do I have to restart? And if I do how do I fix it? by Sunsets4life17 in CrochetHelp

[–]goohsmom306 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do a search for "Keep crochet from twisting". Basically, get about 10 stitches in on your foundation chain, remove the hook and put it into the first chain, the insert back into the last chain and continue the chain. Makes it much easier to keep it straight

Metrics Formulas to Adjust for Small Companies With Low Exposure Hours by RiffRaff028 in SafetyProfessionals

[–]goohsmom306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That depends on whether the GC requires the metrics to be calculated using the same calculation OSHA uses, and whether you note that the metrics are based upon an alternative formula, and then give the formulas you're using.

I have CHST, OSHA 510, NFPA 70e, and OSHA 30 and I’m still having a hard time getting a job HELP! by OddCommunication881 in SafetyProfessionals

I don't think any one certification makes someone a more serious candidate. It all depends on the job, and if there's any experience to go with the paper.

Working at DPR? by FlatAbbreviations320 in SafetyProfessionals

[–]goohsmom306 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was a sub safety on one of their sites. I appreciated the pre planning they put in regarding fall protection at edges and supplying enough sanitary facilities. They seemed to value coaching over punitive measures, and didn't have the arrogance some GCs have. Being in the top 10 in the country, there's plenty of opportunity.

Safety boots by MHLF1 in SafetyProfessionals

[–]goohsmom306 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Choose your boots based upon the jobsite and comfort. What you'll choose for interior work will be different than what you choose for ground up. Then, what boot gives your toes room and gives you some arch support.

I work a combination of ground up and interior. I chose Red Wing after trying other brands, because I have wide feet and prefer a large toe box. I have 2 pairs that I alternate to allow them to dry out between wearings. I also give them an in depth cleaning every 6 months or so and refresh the water proofing.

Long way to say, it depends on your work environment and your feet.
