I think I know what happened there.
When its late.. in sunday.. and you're tired.. you only read a few words, but not read from where they come from. XD

Friday afternoon I paid $20.95 USD for my haircut, and that was with a $5.00 tip. She did a good job.

thats way more reasonable.
I suppose the 100 USD mentioned here.. was a "pro" on demand stylist?

 

[Cesar R M]

Huh. I know every night the menu is different.

they rotate the menu or how does it work?

 

[MinnieM123]

Really?! I don't know if I've ever heard of that.

Supposedly (although I've never tried it) I've heard that mayonnaise (not reduced fat or any kind of hybrid), added to your hair once a month at night (wrap a small dish towel around it), and washed/rinsed out in the morning, is a good, deep conditioner.

I think the flowers on the water are so pretty.

The pictures didn't do them justice at all. I love the floating flower water displays in Epcot.

I cant believe they charge that much for a cut in the US.
We think its expensive when its above 10 USD mark here. (for a standard male cut). my older stylist used to only charge me 5 USD (55 Pesos)
but.. 100 USD???
thats like 1,100 pesos.. you could a lot of stuff with that.

Oh, it all depends on the hairdresser and salon. My hairdresser charges me $65 for a cut and styling hand dryer. Others charge less, and some charge more. People generally go to the same hairdresser faithfully, regardless of price. A lot of it has to do with your trust in the person who is cutting you hair. Many of us are fussy about our hair, and won't let just "anyone" cut it!

Ok guys going to hit the waterparks. Be safe today and have a good one.

Oh, I know you'll have fun! My favorite water rides are: at Blizzard Beach -- the Downhill Double Dipper, and at Typhoon Lagoon, it's the big Wave Pool.

I do too. I love the whole look of the areas prior to the WS during F&G when they have the flowers done around the water and the floating flowers on the water. It's so pretty and nice. I wish they would do that year round.

So I need help from the ladies or single men (sorry married men but you don't do laundry if your anything like my grandfather). He's 83 and did laundry for the first time a few months ago when my grandmother was in the hospital, really had no clue what he was doing. During that time, I had to 'show' him how to make coffee. They have a K-cup machine.

But my work clothes (I wash them separately) have stains on them after washing/drying them. I don't see any stains before washing them. I looked it up and people said that there is probably too much detergent going in the wash. But the question is how do you get the stain out if you can?

Without knowing exactly what the stain is, it's a little difficult to remove. I don't think the stains were caused by too much detergent. Certainly, you can try Shout (as Goofyernmost suggested). I'm half wondering if these are some sort of water stains (there could be some odd chemicals in the water), or I wonder if there's something in your dryer that's causing the discoloration. As a suggestion, why not take one of the garments to a dry cleaner to see if they might have an idea of what kind of stain it is. They have all kinds of solvents they can use to remove various stains.

Oh, one final thought: did you separate out dark colors from whites, etc.? Were you using hot or cold water in the washing machine? (Colors tend to not run in colder water, but they will in hot water.)

Yum! Gee if that's lunch, I can't wait to see what you're having for dinner!!

@donaldtoo , I was at Target this morning and saw American Sniper on DVD, so I bought it. Watched it a few hours ago; it was intense. I was on the edge of my seat watching that. Never knew the history of that man; what a story, and what an ending . . .

That looks delish!

@Cesar R M , I just asked hubby what he spends for his hair cut. (He goes to a local. old-fashioned barber shop.) He said it's "gone up" to $16. HA! BUT, the barber still gives him free peanuts while he's waiting! I think I get gyped at my beauty salon with high prices and NO peanuts!!

Very much so. It was a spa. Pro range there between $35, $60 or $90 depending on their talent. She was very good. I have very long, thick, wavy hair. They need to take their time to cut evenly both wet or dry to get it even.

Still, like I said in my post I'd be hard pressed to spend $115 for hair cut. Ouch. I was given a very generous gift card to that well known Spa from one of my clients. I still have left over $$ on the card.

Doubting lunch will be served. So stuffed

I've been cooking a crock pot turkey chili today. Not only does it come out yummy every time, but it's easy to make. There's always leftovers too, for a few nights this week.

I separate my loads into dark, jeans and work clothes. My only whites are t-shirts so I just throw them in with my jeans/shorts. These were work clothes. I never use warm water for any wash.

Bu I found a solution. Soap.

I rubbed soap (hand or liquid....I used both) into the stains. Let them sit for a while. Washed them. Air Dried them. Only one or two stains left and they are really not that noticeable but might repeat anyway., just in case. Now I might see how soap does on normal clothes.

My haircut on Saturday was $12.
