A grey hair starbuck27, ? That's cute. What's annoying is having not just head hair turning grey, pubic hair turning grey but now my damn eyebrows are turning! I really have whitish silver so it's not so bad, my dh is encouraging me to stop coloring my hair but I'm just not ready. I think once I'm 50. What say you ladies?
edit spelling

[goldenlove3]

My hair is at least 50% grey already. I have to go every 6-8 weeks to get it dyed. It's pretty bad.

Also, my baby brother turned 16 today. I feel old!

[Deleted]

goldenlove3, haha my oldest is a year+ older than your brother!
It's all relative, you gals keep me young or make me feel old depending on my outlook for the moment.
I started going grey at 26 after the birth of my first starbuck27, I'm still just about ?15-20% so not too much and I color my own every 6wks or so

I am sad that I cannot see any of the pictures. Idk what's up with my work laptop. I woke up super sick with stuff nose, sore throat, headache the works. I am currently procrastinating on doing report cards.
My coffee is only luke warm and I want a nap lol

How is it only Wednesday?!?! One of my favorite things to do is sit on the bathroom counter with a handheld mirror and pluck out all of my gray hairs. I know you're not supposed to but I get a sick satisfaction out of doing it.

[badwolf]

I'm in the fight-the-gray camp. I've only had a few strands here and there but I have my hair colored every 6-8 weeks. As a bonus I adore what my stylist does with my hair so it's not just a color to hide the gray situation anymore.

Just 1?! LOL!!! I have way more than 1!

[butlerfan]

Why do I think today is Thursday? I have a lot to do at work so it is good that it is only Wednesday but ugh this week is taking forever.

[penguin129]

The high today is in the 90's again! How is this even possible? A picture came up of DD from last year this date and she was wearing sweat pants and a jacket. When is fall coming to Florida?

[doodler]

Reading this thread made me laugh! I have a few gray hairs but mostly you can't see them. I do have this one that is about two inches long and is right at the start of my hairline in the middle of my forehead. Occasionally I will look in the mirror and it is sticking straight off the top of my head. I leave it because it makes me laugh. I tuck that sucker back in though!

[notagoddess]

My mom is in her late 50s and doesn't have any gray hair yet. I hope I take after her!

[doodler]

I have dinner with two of my best friends tonight. One of them is pregnant, and the other one just had an unsuccessful FET. The two of us that aren't pregnant are taking full advantage of our other friend and chose a wine bar for her to DD us to. In our defense they have amazing food too so I don't feel bad

Hahah you win at random-ing

I just started finding greys too. It was a bit shocking lol.

The poor dog cannot climb the stairs anymore Luckily our house is split level and our bedrooms/main living room is downstairs so he chills down here and we have a slider right out to the yard so we don't have to carry him up to get to the front door. He is such an old man.

[rooskie]

I talked to my HR manager about our RE appointment and what all has been going on today so she knows before I start randomly dissapearing. It went really well and I got a breakfast sandwich.

[goldenlove3]

It's been a while since we've had a GKU talk. Anyone have ideas for topics? HPT?

[piccyami]

I'm in the "ignore the grey" camp. My vitiligo showed up when I was 16 and has slowly progressed off and on. I'll pluck when they bug me but I usually just ignore them.

flojo973, The old wives-tale about plucking one grey hair and 2 coming in is false. Pluck away!

I'm munching on all the chocolate today. MY diet has kind of gone out the window.

[penguin129]

I was on the phone with a representative from Healthcare.gov for almost an hour and a half. He went through my application from 2 days ago and told me I do get a subsidy and cost sharing. It seems to good to be true and I am very skeptical. This information is coming straight from the source though.

[notagoddess]

penguin129, that's promising! I don't blame you for being skeptical after your earlier experience, though.

I know right! I am so scarred from that. I'm going to talk to my H about it when he comes home and see what he says. I mean this is Healthcare.gov the home of Obamacare and the Heath Insurance Marketplace telling me this. That should mean something. I was very clear about everything on the phone.

[TheEleventhHour]

FX everything they said is true and it all works out for your insurance penguin129!!!

Thanks! At this point I think I am done making phone calls to people. If I keep calling different places I'm really going to be stressed out. Healthcare.gov should've given me the correct information.

[onesweetworld]

Hi ladies!!!

I'm in the I have no grey hair camp I'll be 28 in a bit over a month and not one. My father (who I mainly take after) didn't have many greys until his mid to late 40s. He blamed me being a teenager.

[rooskie]

My boss and I just had the discussion of where I'm suppose to work until my new office is ready.

Him: "You could work from the nurse's pumping room"
Me: "I know at least three people who use it right now"
Him: "Guess you can work from home then"

Sometimes men don't get it.

H's hair started turning white (not grey, just straight to white) at the temples when he was 24. He considers himself lucky because that's the point where most of his male family members on both sides started losing their hair.

[pismoduo]

Ugh. I lost the battle to keep my office today. I have to move upstairs on Friday. I'm going to miss my office. I can actually see out the window from here.

[wannabmama]

rooskie good job on working from home at least!
pismoduo sorry you're losing your office, sucks.

**Trigger warning possibly, pregnancy (not mine)**

My niece has been "engaged" for a couple years now. She currently pregnant with #2 and her fiance is trying to get into the CHP academy. They decided last weekend to get married in 3 weeks. I am making her wedding cake. Cue stress and anxiety for everyone. I love it though. I wish I could be a wedding planner lol

[kayladawn91]

I'm in the no grey hair club.

I'm also in the changing offices club.

My office is at least closer to where students are which makes my job a little easier. The only window it has is into a classroom which is super awkward and out into our media center which is okay. I moved the rest of my stuff in today and I'm pretty okay with it.
