As a woman should you cut your hair short when you are past 40?

SketcherD @SketcherD (1114) • Canada 16 Oct 08

My Mom and I have argued this point for years. Mainly because I am a hair stylist but the other reason is because I believe in free choice!! One should do with their hair what they want! Not what everyone else wants. That being...

jmabie I am well over 40 and have had both short hair and long. I really like it both ways but I tend to not go to the beauty shop very often. When I do go I usually have it cut short, saying "it will grow back". So I don't think it really matters, it's everyone's...

jmabie I don't know about slugs but I had a problem with moles awhile back and my neighbor suggested I put Juicy Fruit gum down in their tunnels. I was desparate enough to try it but at the same time, I went along and hoed down the tunnels, so I don't know which...

jmabie I have always hated to throw away things including food. It is a waste and there is nothing wrong with left overs. Actually, some things taste better after sitting as it absorbs the juices or sauces, especially pasta. I know it saves a lot of money and time...

jmabie Hello, I'm confused. You didn't say that the parents had been identified as the ones who placed the ad. If it is really these people looking for a baby sitter, then I believe that you should ask them what the problem is and why they couldn't discuss it with...

jmabie Thank you for this reminder that the things in life that we think are most important are really least important. We have to make money to survive but our families should come first over ambition and the wish to have more. God Bless you for this.

jmabie I never did like that expression, maybe it's pride or something. I have been asked that tho. My response has always been "I don't have a better half, I'm just as good as he is". Maybe I'm wrong to think like that but I also don't like the term "Old Man" or...
