It's just the lyrics not the sound.

 

I am sorry

On another topic, I have a general question. 

 

If you don't get on with someone, and you have completely different tastes, would you still trust their recommendation? 

 

I have to get my hair cut (hopefully will be less of a drama than last time), and my sister in law recently had hers cut. I was going to ask her if the place she went was okay, but she's eighteen years older than me, I don't get on with her, and we have polar opposite styles. So I don't know whether a recommendation from someone completely different would mean anything anyway.  Would you guys trust that kind of recommendation?

It's important your face shape. 

 

The hair model must suitable. 

 

Whoever says whatever, is that so?

[Pseudonym]

I don't mean on the type of haircut (def wouldn't trust her with that), I mean with the skill and style of the hairdresser. It's not just with hairdressers, but things in general. I wouldn't trust her with a clothes shop for example. 

[Caya]

I definitely know people whose recommendations I treat as warnings to avoid that place. They doubtlessy feel the same about mine, so it's all good.

Same here, one time me and my mom went shopping for shoes and I ended up with two pair of shoes and a jacket.

[Pseudonym]

Aside from the fact I'd want to hang myself, if I went shopping with her I'd probably come out looking twenty years older. 

[Carol the Dabbler]

I don't think many people do get to make a living doing what they love - it's a lucky few. It's fine having dreams, but at the end of the day there are bills to pay. 

 

I think it's perfectly wonderful if you can just make a living doing something you're comfortable doing, around people you're comfortable with, in a company that at least doesn't drive you nuts.

[SherlockedCAMPer]

Pseud, I'd only take the recommendation if she says the stylist is good at listening to what you want. If you lived where I do, I'd recommend my stylist because she does listen and can handle a variety of styles as well as coloring and the likes.

Yes and no. I would believe your sis-in-law that the place does a good job for her but I would be very doubtful that they would be equally good for me.

 

Of course it also depends on what her recommendation is based on. If she says the place is clean, the staff is friendly, the prices are reasonable and you get an appointment fast, that's one thing. If she's saying, though, that the way her hair looks is largely due to the way they styled it (as opposed to her wishes / requests) then stay away.

I'm going to a new dentist today, wish me luck.

[Pseudonym]

Oh I hate going to the dentists - good luck!

[Arcadia]

Ugh. Good luck!

[Fantasy Lover]

Good news! She's alright .

[Arcadia]

Yay! Didn't recommend pulling all your teeth, then?

[Fantasy Lover]

She only recommended rinse water because I make a lot of limestone.

 

Does that make sense? I hope I got the translation right.

[Pseudonym]

Not really. Plaque maybe? 

[Fantasy Lover]

That's it, plaque! I have a lot of plaque.

[Pseudonym]

At least it's less of a problem than limestone ;)

 

I have to go get a filling as soon as I can get the time off work - not good since I'm terrified of needles. 

[Fantasy Lover]

I'm not found of them either :/.

[Arcadia]

They're so much better than they used to be, though. When I was little (well before you kids came along! ) you could actually feel the needle going all the way in to the root. Ugh, it was awful, by far the worst part of dental work. These days the shot is not much more than a little pinch. Skinnier needles, I assume. Still unpleasant though. :(

[Pseudonym]

In your day they were pointy turkey basters were they? ;)

 

When I was 14 and getting the BCG injection everyone here has I tried to run away and the school nurse put me in a headlock whilst another one injected me. :o

[Arcadia]

They looked like it to me.

 

What's a BCG injection? Vaccine of some kind? At 14? Kinda late for that, innit?

[Pseudonym]

It's something to do with TB. You get all the normal baby ones and then get that in school, I don't know if it's a booster or something. Or if they still do it, I assume so. It leaves a distinctive round scar on your arm, maybe they're actually chemically branding us! ;)

[Carol the Dabbler]

Sounds like the old smallpox vaccination scars.  But those didn't use a hypodermic syringe.  Judging by the scar, they had a thing about half an inch in diameter with lots of tiny pinpoints sticking out of the end.  They'd dab the vaccine on your upper arm and then push the thing against that area.  Those didn't have boosters, though, thank goodness.

When I was a kid (back in the middle ages), the pen1cillin they used for injections was a very thick liquid, so it required a large-bore needle.  And it had to be given into a muscle, not merely under the skin.  The only muscle large enough on a skinny little kid is -- you guessed it!  My father would hold my head and arms down while the doctor held my legs down with one arm while using the other hand to jab the needle at my gluteus maximus (which probably didn't improve his technique any).  I honestly wasn't that much of a wimp, it's just that those things hurt!

 

Mercifully, I didn't need any antibiotic shots for a number of years, by which time I was a young adult.  The doctor still wanted to aim the shot at the same area (force of habit?), but this time it was merely subcutaneous, the tiniest of pinpricks.  Having braced myself for impact, I was pleasantly amazed.
