*sniff* I found out yesterday that Jerry and Yolanda have parted ways after 18 years together and five years of owning a business together and that the salon is closing down as of Tuesday. Apparently Jerry is going to reopen on his own, but they had to get rid of Cheryl, the best receptionist in the history of receptionists. He's hoping he can hire her back ASAP.

Was it an ugly split/end?

So, I had to go get a tooth re-filled this morning after getting another one re-filled last week. It was a lower tooth, but I am so loaded with novocain right now, I can't feel the top of my mouth on that side, either. I am trying very hard not to bite my tongue today.

On a wholly unrelated note, they have this pumpkin spice coffee at Starfucks that is really really good.

That is all.

The novocain seems to have taken your edge. A Starbucks coffee flavor post? You are better than this. Don't make me come to your work and sock you in the face.

Avalon Organics Therapeutic Volumizing Rosemary Shampoo

I think I had a bottle of this once. At least, it was something rosemary. Might have been rosemary and mint. Anyway, I had to stop using it when I realized it made my head smell like a lamb roast when I sweated.

Your dentist needs to upgrade his novocaine. I use Kerastase novocaine exclusively, and I love it.


(Seriously -- the new stuff only numbs the part of the mouth where the work needs to be done, and it wears off very quickly. No drooling over your Starbucks cup.)

This doesn't answer (or even address) your question, but your wife shouldn't be such a snob (unless you are exaggerating as part of your down-home podunk spiel stuff). L'Oreal makes a lot of very high-quality hair products that are superior to what they market in drugstores. I use the Kerastase line from L'Oreal almost exclusively and I love it. And I'm fancy.

This also doesn't answer your question, and not to go all Paigow on you, but L'Oreal still tests on poor little bunnies, which, given that all shampoos have pretty much contained the same ingredients forever, is pretty inexcusable. Bunnies eyes are most like human eyes, and that is why they are the favored test subjects.

See http://www.comedyclub.co.za/feature/feature130.html for a satirical take on what bunnies think of L'Oreal and their advertising campaigns.

In fairness, he did call it Starfucks (get it? he changed the "b" to an "f" to make it almost like a swear word!!), so as to make it a little angrier.

But otherwise (and as usual), I agree completely with everything you said.

You may be right. Luckily, that will wear off.

I may not feel it anyway. Are you right or left-handed?

And you are right, I am better than that. God help me, I actually think I miss Fringey. *sniff*

I neglected to mention:

This is when Flinty's project-in-development would really come in handy.

Is that thing almost done, Flinty? Flinty?

We don't get that fancy novocain in the patch. Maybe in a year or two.

Phillipe, who owns the "in" salon in West Podunkville, got my wife addicted to a "product" line called Pure Hair. She's almost out of something, and asked me to stop by Phillipe's and pick some up on Monday when I was in that part of town.

Phillipe wasn't in, but Isabella told me that they were out of Pure, and suggested a few other salons. None of them carried it. I asked Wanda from next door, and she doesn't carry it. (She laughed at me, and told me "that's what you get for allowing your wife to go to that phoney baloney over in the ritzy part of town -- his real name is Phil, and he ain't even gay."

A little internet research tells me that the stuff is made by altec, a company owned by L'Oreal (Mrs. Not Bob was crushed to hear this -- "hell, even the Piggly Wiggly sells L'Oreal!"), and it looks like the line has been discontinued.

But a few online places still seem to have it -- anyone ever heard of beautyjunky.com? Or have any trusted sites to suggest?

Thanks.

Not to pile on, but L'Oreal is French. They own many upper end cosmetic divisions including Lancome, Biotherm, Kiehls, Shu Uemura (which surprised me), Giorgio Armani and Ralph Lauren.
Their grocery store line is promoted as being essentially (not exactly) the same as the Lancome stuff, only not in the foo foo packaging.

But the advice you've received is correct - get her something different. It was time to change anyway. I get bitched at because I have no less than 4 different types of shampoo in the shower at any given time. But I have a sensitive scalp.

You seem like someone who feels rebellious when using curse words, non?

Please don't tell me that Kiehls is tested on bunny rabbits.
