So I'm lying here on my bed and got to thinking about the important topic of the day... why are my eyebrows still dark when the top of my head is almost all white? I know... you were thinking the same thing right?

So I looked it up and found a podcast called Ask the Naked Scientist. I started listening and it said that the reason we lose the color of our head hair is because the hair follicles that color the hair contain melanocytes and these are the cells that add melanin, the dark color to hair.

For some reason and not uniformly across the head, these melanocytes clap out after awhile and stop adding melanin to the hair so hair reverts back to its natural color which is white because it's made of keratin and the color of keratin is white.

So their theory is that the eyebrow hair grows more slowly than your head hair and are under less pressure so the melanocytes don't expire as quickly.

It's interesting. I guess I never really thought about it but it makes sense.

I'm sat here pondering the last couple of weeks and a certain individual who has entered my life.

I always wanted a relationship where we could take our time and get to know one another. I craved something more slow paced and a bit more civilized than the head-spinning madness that usually happens at the start.

Now that I have it, I appear to have changed my mind. Apparently I now want to be pursued, adored and have silly, unmanageable amounts of attention lavished upon me.

God I'm fickle.

And not a little confused.

Having your heart broken hurts like hell... I feel kind of numb right now.

maybe retail therapy and a night on the town will help.

JDeere · 11-09-2014, 02:48 PM

A lot is on my mind but too much to post!

The treatment of our elderly in this country...

I won't go into details and get all soapboxy...but...I will say...

Please cherish your elderly parents and grandparents. If you have family members in assisted living or a nursing home, please visit. Send cards, bring snacks. Take them out to lunch if they're able. These things matter SO MUCH to them. They need to not feel forgotten. And they want to know they still matter.

That is all...

ProfPacker · 11-11-2014, 11:30 PM

thinking of ways to be true to myself and others and loving and caring.

I am looking for friends in Georgia cuz it sure is lonely down here

Orema · 11-12-2014, 05:56 AM

Work. It's my busiest time of the year and there are less that 8 weeks left till January. I'm already turning down requests, but people are being unusually gracious. I hope this lasts for the next few weeks.

Music. I want to hear holiday music and I never want to hear it before Thanksgiving. Not sure what's up with that but I'll probably play Charlie Brown holiday music when I get in the office.

Ferguson, Missouri. Governor Nixon is only making things worse.

Gemme · 11-12-2014, 06:48 AM

This.

A motorist in NY ran over and killed a toddler. The motorist was issued two tickets at the scene and has since had BOTH tickets dismissed. Unless the wrongful death suit pans out, there will be no repercussions for this person killing a 3 year old.

That's what's on my mind; the cost of human life nowadays.

My cousin.

She's been gone 3 years but I had a dream about her Sunday night. In the dream I ran into her and although I thought she had died she hadn't but had been in hiding for 3 years. I asked why but didn't get an answer. She seemed to be in a hurry. I woke up feeling yucky and it's been on my mind since.

JDeere · 11-12-2014, 01:16 PM

My dad. He is being non compliant with his medical team.

Logicaly · 11-12-2014, 02:56 PM

I know that feeling. My dad won't even see a medical anything.

Glad I'm not alone. It's starting to take a toll on my mom, she is beyond mad.

Approximately a hour ago, I awoke to a telephone call inviting me to an interview this Friday morning.

Kenna · 11-13-2014, 08:22 PM

After today's long drive through crazy Charlotte...a draining, emotional, stressful meeting with a new specialist...then long drive back through crazy Charlotte ....I'm ready for a few days of movie marathons and activities to help me "zone out"...

Sassy · 11-14-2014, 03:13 PM

Cold weather, autumn breezes and I've got the blues. This time of year hits me harder than most. Holidays are coming up and I can't decide what would be worse, seeing my family and enduring the drama, or not seeing my family and feeling estranged. Ugh.
