Instead Of Covering Grey Roots, This Hair Colorist Makes Clients Embrace It

I am very gray and in my thirties. I am so sad by how many women tell me how brave I am to be going natural. As a woman we are raised to fear age. It disgusts me that a man with silver is distinguished and a woman with silver is old. I am strong and bold and have developed beyond that fear that society will no longer value me because I am no longer young and supple.

Instead Of Covering Grey Roots, This Hair Colorist Makes Clients Embrace It

I can't remember the last time I dyed my hair. More than 10 years ago. I was asked by someone why I don't do it, and my reply is; "With age comes wisdom. Why would i want to cover up my wisdom?" No one says I should color my hair anymore.

My ex was the epitome of why mechanics get a bad rep. A very dear friend recommended my ex to his employee, who had a classic Chevy El Camino. It was an absolutely beautiful car in "Plum Crazy" purple. I WATCHED as he and his dipshit buddy backed it into the shop - and right into the end of the engine hoist. It put a huge dent in the tailgate. They went ahead & did the work requested (brakes & an LOF, I think). My friend brings the guy over to pick up the car and he freaks over the dent. My ex tries to tell him that it was there when the car showed up. My friend takes one look at my face & knows that I KNOW, he's lying. I've never been more humiliated in my life. Lost the ex, kept the friend.

Home maintenance would be a good thing to teach too. I've had to deal with some people who just don't understand the concept of how to live in a house.

I work with several highschoolers at my job. I know at least one person who is taking all of these classes. Some of them have different titles; business law, home-ec, parenting, budget planning, shop, etc. They still do all/most of these classes in schools that can afford it. When school budgets get cut and teachers have to fund their own supplies how do we keep these classes going? Also I was taught how to change a tire. Guess what? After twenty years of being out of highschool I wouldn't know where to start. I haven't written a check in ten years and had to double-check yesterday how to fill out a cashier's check. I did that by looking it up online. I also taught myself to cook. At some point, no matter your age, you need to be responsible for some of your own education and life skills. There's public/free internet access at libraries around the U.S.

Yes, up to a grand on high end cars but most cars are like a grand new. Got $587 for a scrap cat from my 2002 RSX here in Canada.

I never thought I'd hit worse than a pediatric ward full of kids destroyed by measles back in the 1990s. And then Covid hit... Turns out there's worse than kids in the USA of all places dying of measles. It's .... Yeah. Fixing? We're lucky if we don't break, too.

If you ever need to be reminded about how dangerously dumb millions of people are (and you shouldn't, especially if you live in the US right now) just talk to doctors, mechanics, plumbers, etc. Anyone who fixes things for a living.

My fam did, but we were poor and had to make do or not do at all. Schools do need to step in, tho', b/c many of us didn't ahve parents who could teach us, or didn't ahve time to do so whta with running from one job to another.

Yes parts alone can be up to that much on some cars (Ref: https://www.oemford.parts/catalytic-converter), and when you factor in the true replacement cost, which could involve the other mating parts which were damaged when the cat was hacked off, as well as the difficulty of access/repair on some vehicles, $3000 is not unreasonable at all. They make the exhaust cleaner and also quieter, and as with most cars they connect to the muffler, so the car will be ROARING loud until this is replaced, will throw a check engine light, and certainly won't be covered under any warranty - welding a straight pipe in between isn't an option for everyone. Also, you're missing the fact that in many places it's illegal to drive without a cat, because the environment they protect is actually important. Your post seems more like it's targeted at the poster rather than helpful or even factual. Maybe you need to rethink what's bothering you...?

When I was in school, the driver's ed class taught us not just how to drive, but the parts of a car and how to maintain it. We also had home economics that did cooking and light sewing, etc. It was a well funded school. Not every family can teach these. Vote to fund schools and well rounded curriculum.
