Finding a new salon is tough! I'm contemplating divorcing my stylist since I can't stand some of the things she says while cutting my hair. She's so judgemental and very right wing and its really starting to get to me. My best friend has already left her for the same reasons. BUT she really knows how to cut my hair! I'm really torn here.

Anyway you can steer here to talk about a more neutral subject, such as cats?

She just always goes on like she is so perfect, her devotion to her family & church are second to none. And I love the holy rollers, like her, sit in judgement of others. I'm really to the point where I just don't like her any more.

Last week I got my hair cut and she asked about my trip to the UK. Told it was great, blah, blah, blah. And she's like, "Don't you find that all people in England are rude?" I said "no". She said, Well, I have 2 British clients and that they are both so rude." I nearly introduced her to a kettle.

LOL...she must not realize that maybe she rubs her Brit clients the wrong way.

Anyways, you can hardly make judgments about a country of 60 million based on two people.

I have an excellent dentist in Westwood.

I have a great GYN in Bev Hills too.

I have a fab (Brit) waxer in Culver City.

Hairdresser - Burbank!!!

Chiro/accupunturist - Santa Monica

I was being facetious. I hate haggis!

Exactly, which is why I think I need to try someone new. I mean, I have to see this person several times a year and talk to her and pay her good money. Sure, I like the hair, but hate all the insults.

Thanks for the visual Dev. That is sooo nasty! *barfs*

Everything about that photo is horrible. The horribly loud Brady-esque tartan table clothe. The technicolor garnish. And well....the haggis is a given.

I think Nicky is going out by himself on Burn's Night.

I love haggis. Nom nom nom.

Speak of the debil! Nicky just sent me an email with a link to this, saying that this is what he wants for christmas

Dev -- who is the mystery Burbank hairdresser? I really need a trim -- cut off the split ends last night but my hair is looking bleh. I am at a hair crossroads -- either I dye my hair and remove the big white streak forming in it, or I embrace the streak and work it. I really don't know what to do, because I love my hair colour and it's all natural. I just feel a bit bored.

She's actually faster on average- since she stops to take a toilet break

Griff loves it too. And those nasty faggots, chips and mushy peas. Added the usual side dishes just in case someone got the wrong impression! And steak & kidney pie. And liver, bacon & onion gravy.

No thanks on the offal. *gags*

I have already decided that when I start to go grey that I will color my hair. No doubt about it. Some of the ladies I work with have let it go grey naturally and it looks like dirty dishwater, IMO.

mmm liver, bacon and onion gravy!

Its weird, cos here you can get liver & onions, or even liver, bacon & onion, but for whatever reason not the gravy. It makes Griff sad.

However, I still loathe the stuff!

AAHHH BISTO! Tell Griff he needs to get someone to send some. My mum brought me two containers when she came over. YUM!

Oh, we have Bisto. However, there is NO WAY that I am cooking liver. Blech. It will have to be a restaurant.

I liked the plaid & the knife stuck in. Really adds to it, no?

Indeed, it gives it that certain psycho quality one looks for in haggis.

My hubby loves all that stuff. Bunny too. I won't touch it altho I have tasted the bunny & Bambi before.





it accentuates the tautness of the sinew.

*barf*

actually nicky's canned haggis gives me the heebies-jeebies more - canned haggis is jsut wrong on so many levels

oh pardon, as if 'fresh' haggis is so much better?

just the word "haggis" evokes such negative images, like, "eew, I just stepped in haggis"

Imagine it coming out of the can...with the nice strirations from the can, sort of like the canned cranberry you get for Thanksgiving that you have to have but nobody ever really eats.

I tried fried haggis at a chippy in Edinburgh...it wasn't the worst thing I've ever had. Then again everything kind of tastes samey when fried. The boiled product looks hideous.

Have any of you tried real haggis?

Yes - on multiple occasions! Yech!!!!!


Just like marmite I have tried but Do Not Want

Why would we?











Marmite is not bad, esp with a nice strong cheddar & onion slice on a cracker.

That's fair enough. It gets to me when people bad mouth haggis when they haven't even tried it, because of what its made of. Yet same people have no problems eating chickens, lamb etc...

That said..I do laugh at the tourists that visit Scotland, that pay big bucks to go on hunts to find wild Haggis. I actually met a group in the hills once, I did my bit by pointing them in the direction I last saw some hiding in the trees.

A chicken breast/rack of lamb is not quite the same as eating the lungs, liver & heart packaged all neatly in an intestine (read: colon) of those animals.

I hope it doesn't smell up the house like turkey soup does.

Who are you going to dig up to eat it with anyways?

That's very true. I can't stand Mexican food, I have no idea how people can eat that stuff, its bloody revolting.



We should email all our friends, see who fancies it! The less the better, as that means more for me!

I think it would be a quiet evening with just you and the haggis. Hell my friends and I will be at the Micholan Cafe eating guacamole to our hearts content!

Just a note, it doesn't come with the charger adapter. You have to go online and register and say what cell phone you have so they can send you the right attachment. I usually hate filling out that stuff but I feel like I only had to say where and when I bought it then chose the style of my phone and the adapter arrived in the mail a week or two later.






I have. I used to work with a Scottish woman who would make it on St. Andrew's day. It wasn't bad. I've had much worse things in the philippines

Yes, I've tried it and didn't like it.

Tis indeedy that mall We bought stuff


Ok - we got a three month old rescue kitty on the way home and now my other cat hates me - they kinda met - the little guy puffed himself up as big as he could get which isn't very big at all and growled a bit in a squeaky way. My cat just watched him for a bit and miaowed in a weird way. The little guy was fine when he was playing but as soon as he looked up and saw Daisy he puffed up again. I was stroking Daisy and she was ok but then she miaowed and swiped at me. She's gone outside now and the little guy is tearing through the house playing with anything he can lay his little paws on.

Dunno if anyone has and ideas on how to make the transition smoother?

Ohh yes it is!

My Mate, Marmite!

Mmmmmm, nothing like some brown bread toast with a thin layer of Marmite.

Found a store in Chicago that sells Irn Bru!! Score!!!!

give them a week or so = they will claim their own area tis typical - fiesty little guy aye? lol and if they dont claim property the little one is going to be gobsmacked at the power of the punch of the older and wiser one.

Tis typical hun, time.....

Cheers and still smiling at this time of the morning!

Not after a piece nearly put me in hospital. Slipped on some when waitressing one Burn's Night.

Hello all been away for a little while trying to get organised for the move which means reading quotes and not doing anything how is everyone?

See - the evil nature of haggis knows no limits

We have a separate knife for marmite - just like we have separate fork for cat food - so that I won't get poisoned by it

That's pretty normal behaviour - the only thing you can give it is time. They'll be like this for a few days until they get the hierarchy sorted out.

P.S. If you don't feed them soft food, you could give them both a spoonful each when in the same room as a treat. Might help bring them together a little.

Haha...well thank you for helping keep my job secure!

Ok - back to the kitty thing - Daisy seems to have forgiven me and we are trying to follow the instructions laid out by the kitty people saying we should just restrict the little guy to one room for a few days so he can see it as his safe area. He has the bathroom as it is the only room that Daisy doesn't really go in but he is not happy about it and spent the night crying whenever we left him. It also makes going to the bathroom pretty hard as he tries to make a break for it!!

Ok - this morning he managed to make a break for it and ran right into the living room, right into the kitchen, up to Daisy (who was eating) as only a fearless little kitty can. She obviously wasn't too impressed with this and warned him off pretty quickly. He doesn't seem so scared of her now as I think he just wants to play but when she warns him, he backs off. Thing is, he got onto the back of the sofa which is Daisy's place and she went for him then they had a stand off. Now Daisy is outside again and the poor little guy is breaking his heart in the bathroom.

Oh - and he peed all over the bathroom mat so I mopped it up with some tissue and put it in his litter tray and disinfected the floor.

It's been 12 hours - Mags, how on earth do you cope???

they'll calm down soon enough.

how old is the cat you had already?
