Hi everyone...this may not really be that important to you but it sure is to me.

I feel very silly right now....I had NO IDEA that PM messages are right here on the board.  I thought PM messages went to my email address :doh: :doh: :doh:  Some help advisor I am ..HUH?! :doh: :redface: :redface: :redface: :redface: :redface:

I have had several private messages for the past few months that I only just today discovered ......  Just so you all know...I have not been ignoring you.  Your comments are important to me. Just the thought of any of you taking the time to PM me is special.  Thank you so much! bear_wub bear_wub bear_wub

ALSO so you know, I was not at all offend by any recent posts.  You have all been so kind to me and I enjoy being a part of this group.  I took that post as a very big compliment...nothing more.


Group hug everyone (((((((((((((((((((((( :hug: bear_wub :hug:))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Hey Judi,

Well you aren't the only one who didn't know about the PM.  I have been ignoring  :redface: :redface: :redface: , without even knowing it, Heather from Calgary for just over a month now. 

I have apologised to her and hope she forgives me.  Im so glad that Im not the only one bear_grin bear_grin

Oh my daughter is soooo blonde too (though her hair is darkening now at age 23).  I'll never forget when she was about 13, a friend of ours was spouting off blonde jokes, and she looked him square in the eye and said "Well how stupid are you if you actually think the color of someones hair has anything to do with their intelligence?"
:clap:

I laughed so hard.

Way to go, Deb's daughter!!!  Yep, I was blonde until mine started getting darker in my 20s - 30s.  Think that's what happens to naturally light headed people as they age.  I never knew about dumb blonde jokes until Marilyn Monroe came along.  And I know she started out as a brunette, so don't think there is any reason to associate lack of intelligence with blondes.  AND I really don't think Marilyn (or Norma Jean) was dumb . . . just very vulnerable and taken advantage of.  Sheesh . . . how did I get on this thread???

SueAnn ~ Funny you should mention Marilyn.  I just saw a news blip the other night on "new" information that allegedly proves Norma Jean's death was not a suicide.  Didn't see the full version though.  I love "Some Like It Hot" ... great movie.

Amen to that sister!  I have used that line before too. BRAVO :clap: :clap: :clap:

I just laugh at myself.  Kind of like the doctor who can't find his stethoscope when its right under his nose. :doh: :doh: :doh:

Yay Jane..we're not alone.  Anyone else want to fess up?  Come, join us.

Well....i'm not blonde but i did once try to dye my hair blonde. No one ever told me that to go from meduim brown (okay Mouse) to blonde you need to strip the colour from your hair first so i slapped the dye on expecting it to transform me into a MM lookalikey but it went a rather strange shade of greeny brass. I decided that i would cut my losses and and cut it really short, as my hair grew pretty quick, and spent the next few months walking around looking like Annie Lennox stroke a Prisoner from Cell Block H stroke refugee.
I was very slim at the time so i think that saved me or i it would have been a total disaster haw haw hoo

Gosh, i have a blonde moment every day if i'm honest, it lasts from when i open my eyes to when i close them at night.

Besides, who cares - everyone wants to be a blonde don't they?  :thumbsup:

You gals crack me UP.

I have mousey brown hair now, when I was younger it was more blonde.

In College I used the Loreal Bleaching Kits that sell for $10.00 and boy was it blonde. I thought it looked cool. I don't have any pictures other wise I would share. Maybe some time in the future when I drop 100 lbs I'll try it again. Mom just rolled her eyes.
I had my hair stripped out in High School and it turned out quite red. That looked good too.

Hey Jared, I'm in love with your mom:  "mom just rolled her eyes"  bear_grin bear_grin

Marilyn was very intelligent, and got what she wanted in a time when American women were still kept pretty much under wraps.....unfortunetly she was very sad and very vulnerable..... :cry:

It is too to bad what happened to her.....


I would love to be blonde.....I'm with Pen-kind of mousey, but I have a very good hairdresser....thank goodness......

Judi - It took me a while to click too...I thought that the new messages thing was just saying there were new messages posted on the board.  It wasn't until I accidently clicked on it one day that I discovered a whole new world!   :redface:

Judi, you're not alone!  It took me ages to realise I had pm's!  I keep forgetting to check them too ... on another forum I belong to, an email message is sent to my email address to let me know when I've been pm'ed.  I wonder if that facility is available for this forum?

Wow that's how to do it. I am (dark) blond and would never have figured this out on my own bear_grin bear_grin bear_grin

I too have wondered why there is no indication of a new message. I only got one so far, but I expected either to get an email notification or to see an indicator next to the messages link.

Perhaps this can go on the wishlist to Quy?  bear_wub  :whistle:

OK, the private message thing is news to me.   LOL!  Luckily, nobody had contacted me, or I would've left them hanging FOREVER!!!
