However, I don't follow your advice although I am very bad at doing it often enough - coloring my hair I mean. My daughter 'encourages' me to do it if I leave it long enough, and my roots are in evidence.<br /><br />It is true though, grey is a nice flattering colour to wear, so why can't we have our hair grey? Why do we say such nice things to men with grey hair, you know calling them 'silver foxes' etc. I've seen some beautiful grey hair, long and short. I like your reasoning. Why should we have to pretend we are young? Why is that better? People of all ages and hair colours look attractive don't they?<br /><br />Well done to you, your own hair looks great, you are a very attractive lady (looking at your picture with you and your doggie as I write this). I think it does help for everyone to see how silly it is running for the dye, having nice examples. I shall endeavor to be braver, because on principle I totally agree with you! (Even the notion of being 'brave' not dying your hair is a weird one isn't it? We have been truly programmed I think.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27352415.post-56454846313828546302012-04-07T08:33:39.166-07:002012-04-07T08:33:39.166-07:00We have that here, too, and we also have stores as...We have that here, too, and we also have stores asking you with every purchase to donate money to certain charities. It gets annoying. We donate money sometimes, but we dislike how often we get asked, and feeling pressured to donate to charities we'd rather not donate to. It gets annoying to be asked at every store, every time you go in, even if you just make a dollar purchase.Inklingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14173567199140492921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27352415.post-10112262451535726302012-04-07T07:56:37.087-07:002012-04-07T07:56:37.087-07:00I share your frustration.

I wonder if that happens there too.Rummuserhttp://www.rummuser.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27352415.post-85266838915718576032012-04-07T02:58:37.294-07:002012-04-07T02:58:37.294-07:00We call it begging. Everywhere you go in Ireland,...We call it begging. Everywhere you go in Ireland, North and South, you will find beggers on the streets and outside shops.<br /><br />Supermarkets often provide access in the foyer for Charities to set up a stall for a day or weekend to encourage the punters to part with their money. <br /><br />I was surprised one day when in Dublin City at about 8.30am to see a large upmarket car offload at least four beggers who headed off to their usual spots for a day of begging. It actually made me think twice about handing over some of my widow's mite.Grannymarhttp://grannymar.com/blognoreply@blogger.com
