Hee, hee . . . this reminds me a little of something somewhat related regarding tanning. Years ago I went through a short (thank goodness) phase of going to those tanning bed places. One time I noticed that one of the lights was out in the bed, but figured the others would sort of balance out the overall tan. Wrong! When I looked in the mirror afterwards, I have this long white line of no tan that really contrasted with the rest of me tanned! HA! :jawdrop: :rolleyes:

I also watched Another World with my mom! And Days of Our Lives. Funnily, I also watched those soaps for a while during my college years.

I watched Days in my high school college years, and then just stayed with watching All My Children until that went off the air. Looking back I watched a lot of soap operas. Anyway, I started watching Days of our Lives again last summer. Many characters were the same and after spending about 25-30 minutes on a site online I was totally caught up on the story lines despite not having watched it for over 10 years. It is a little guilty pleasure.

My husband also used to watch Days because his mom would record it and watch it at night. At first he made fun of me for watching it again and now I think he is secretly into it again. Sometimes he will magically appear when I watch it or casually bring it up in conversation trying to find out what happened!

I watched Guiding Light, and Sommerset which was only on for a short time. Of course I was married with my little daughter.;)

Occasionally when my mom and I were watching Guiding Light she would talk about how it was also a radio show that she would listen to with her mom when they were visiting family in Northern Wisconsin and couldn't see it on tv. My mom grew up in the Chicago suburbs so they had tv and the Up North family didn't yet.

I have to at least do gel or I'd have a bunch of random hairs sticking straight up! But I'm so glad I don't have to blow dry - I also have thick hair, but with our temperate weather year-round it's usually dry (or almost) by the time I get to work. The noise of the drier always annoyed me. :p

My hair is mostly gray, and it sticks out on top, so I wear hats.;):rolleyes:

Some of those soaps were pretty well-written. Although I never watched Dallas or Dynasty.

Same thing when my ds broke his arm. We were in the ER at 2 pm first doctor said he'd be in the hospital 2 weeks. I think the only reason we were there that long is they had to sedate him for the X-rays. The trauma surgeon operated at 7pm he was home by midnight and tried to sneak into class the next morning when we were getting his work. He got credit for being in school that day because he was in his homeroom for attendance. He was mad when nobody let him stay in school.

Crazy. When we first moved back to Texas, I broke my calcaneus bone (it split like a birds beak) on the pool diving board of the HoJo we were stayin' at until our house was ready to move into. I missed the first two weeks of my freshman year.
So much pain, and the pain killers had me wiped out.
Cool thing was, once I got back to school, I made lot's if friends, and was affectionately known as "The Crip"...!!! :joyfull:
Yea, we weren't very politically correct back then... ;)

My hair is getting really gray now - it started pretty early for me. I don't mind it, though. I kinda have a stripe in the front now that I think looks cool. :) Although if I could wear hats all the time, I would! It would just look a little funny at work.

Yep, just like my mother, I found my first gray hair at 19. Although, she is still pretty much salt and pepper, I am completely gray. She has dark hair and I am blond, taking after my pop.
DWifey likes it, so it's all good...! :happy:

They were pretty well written. Although I didn't care the storyline when Marlena was possessed on Days of Our Lives, that freaked me out. We didn't watch Dallas or Dynasty as a family, but my parents might've when I was in bed. I did watch Dallas when it was on replays a few years ago on the soap channel. It was pretty good too.

My mom was completely grey by 25. My dad, not until he got sick in his early 60's, and then he went quite grey in less than a year. (And then he went bald, literally overnight, but that's too sad to even think about.)

I would say that I was not significantly grey (ie - 20-30%) until my mid-40's. It is not a nice, well-behaved grey though. It's a wiry, stick up like a middle finger grey, so I colour it!

While we were still just dating, Hubby and I used to watch Dallas with his mom every Friday night for years, while his dad snoozed in the lazyboy.

We were an exciting couple even back then. ;)
