??  I don't get this.  I'm 5'10" and a 14 is fine for me.  When I'm about 
as thin as I ever get, I might wear a 12 in slacks.  A dress is more 
comfortable?  Are these short women?

The hair thang...  I'm lazy.  I've been lazy for most of my 41 years.  The 
hair stays long because it's easier that way.  There's gray in there but so 
what?  I haven't been able to get behind the media's thing that we all have 
to pretend we're in our 20's forever.  People get older.  It used to be an 
accepted fact and now we're all in denial.  Feh I say!

My best buddy and I would have lunch and talk about the whole aging 
issue.  She would tell me to embrace my inner hag and we'd have a big laugh 
about the whole thing.  A few years passed (faster all the time) and she 
had to go to a wedding.  At the wedding, someone mistook her for the mother 
of the bride and the bride was almost the same age she was.  Horrors!  Next 
thing I knew, I got an email from  her with a confession.  She had gone to 
the hairdresser, gotten a new style and...a dye job!  I am now the only one 
cozying up to my inner hag.  *shrug*  Oh, well.  The hag and I have gotten 
to know each other pretty well and have coffee on a regular basis.

I got a laugh from one of the subject headers in this morning's 
download.  It had the title of corsetry and I wondered Victorian or 
Elizabethan?
