What are some things you're ashamed to admit?
 I've always been made fun of for that and have to hear about it being ridiculous, but it doesn't change how I feel about my hair being wet.I also can't roller/ice skate. I'm the overly lanky tall girl which doesn't help when trying to learn. So spill it? What are you guys ashamed of? |

I really have super wavy hair, so I blowdry it straight daily, so wet = an afro from hell. I'm in the worse place to hate wet weather since it's ALWAYS humid here. So there I am when we're out... trying to find a coat to put over my head whenever I feel a drop or double up on all kinds of hair products. Very hot quality when I used to go on dates.

I'm the overly lanky tall girl which doesn't help when trying to learn. So spill it? What are you guys ashamed of? I think we were seperated at birth with the hair thing--- really!!! I have this thing about my hair being wet-- or touched . Period. There have been times I have cancelled appointments because it was raining, and I knew my hair would be a mess. Curly-- blown straight every day. No matter what. Nobody sees my curls. Or, I guess frizz is more like it... Now here is the other part. NO ONE can do my hair like I do. Never looks good-- even Nick wasn't 100% acceptable. SO--- I have always wondered what would happen when I die. WHO can make me look good? I have decided to buy a wig that they can use on me. NO KIDDING-- LOL. Is that sick vanity or what??? What else? I can't whistle, or roll my tongue like a hotdog bun. The tongue thing is genetic. The whistle is just lack of ability  Next?? |
I'm laughing here because I AM SO the same way about my haircuts!!!  No like seriously... Mr. J says this should have been a sign NOT to marry me. When we were dating and had a banquet to go to, I forgot my hairdryer. He said, well I'll go buy you a new one. I said you CAN'T buy me one here ...those don't work on my hair!!! (the town we were in had no specialty shops) ...he kept insisting we could find ONE that would work, but I knew I had to drive the 2 hrs back to my house and back JUST TO GET A HAIRDRYER!!!!!!!!!!!!! No one can do my hair. Well... I try everyone in town, each stylist, before finding one person who perfects it. Many towns, I haven't found one, so I would drive all the way back to my college for the ONE stylist that could. I don't base how well they can cut on whether or not I like the stylist ...they must also know how to fix it!! Like you, no one does my hair like ME!!! I just have hair you just have to know how to work with. I so understand you, and it's nice to know I'm not the only loony!!!!  |

John says it looks like mission control when I get ready in the morning. All the lights flashing from the straight irons and hairdryers. For me it HAS to be one with the brush attachment. I then do three section in the front, and three in the back... so I need large clips. It takes me SO long that I sit on the floor in my bedroom, leaning up against the bed to dry my hair. I have a big mirror that I haul "to my spot" everyday, and then put it back in the closet when I'm fnished. THEN I go to the vanity at the sink -- and start with the flat iron. It is so funny. When we have the little girls, they will get book and crayons ready to play with while I dry my hair. They know it will be ages. How long does it take you to be all the way done with your hair?? For me it is about 50 minutes, give or take, depending on the humidity. |
Well....to anybody other than you folks here, Id be embarrassed to admit how much time I spend on a sheepdog forum!   |

ravenmoonart wrote: Well....to anybody other than you folks here, Id be embarrassed to admit how much time I spend on a sheepdog forum! haha... I don't think I'm as embarrassed as my husband is that I always talk about this place. Abuckie, I think 20-30 min. It's not that it takes long for my hair.. it's all about the technique. I do go through almost half a bottle off hairspray to get the volume in my hair since it's so dang thin. I even bring a bottle of hairspray with me after I get my hair done. They never put enough and so I grab it and use it myself, but I'm embarrassed by how much I REALLY want to use. There's nothing even special about my hair ...and it's not even long. It just takes some tender loving skill  No one believes me since the "finished" product isn't anything to brag home about and takes others just a few minutes (and they don't even have to use a hairdryer)! |
| That hair thing...I used to watch my mom get ready to go somewhere and "do" her hair. It took forever and I decided when I was still young, that I would never spend that much time on my hair. In my teens...I spent an hour just on my hair. I have fine hair and it took a lot of work to get it "just right". From my 20's -30's when the perm was in, I did that and it took ten minutes. Just blow and go. That was great and got me thinking about how much time I spent before on my hair. My hair right now is just hitting my shoulders and I again just blow and go. I use the blow dryer and a round brush and just give it a little curl under and am fine with that. I hate spending time on my hair. Like I said, its fine and no matter what I do it always ends up the same so why spend a lot of time and energy on something that just always looks the same. Avoid mirrors! |
I have to admit that I haven't cleaned the bathtub in a month. I spray it with the daily spray stuff every day but I haven't taken a sponge and Comet to it in weeks!  |
| I'm ashamed to admit that I'm a complete video game nerd. When God of War III and Final Fantasy XIII come out, I will probably stay up all weekend to play and only move from my spot on the sofa for bathroom breaks. (who needs sleep?!) |

I admit I go to the cheapest place in town to get my hair trimmed - the place usually has a neon sign in the front buzzing loudly "_PEN." the O is sometimes missing. My hair is easy, I am fortunate. I have had premature white hair for years - Patch and I have won quite a few look alike contests winning really cool prizes. When we visit the nursing homes, many residents have commented that we look alike. LOL. Life is fun at times. |
| The hair thing - so not me! I wash it, and blow dry it for about 5 minutes to not quite dry. I have really thick hair, but Kim razors about half of it out every haircut...to make it lay right. I fix the tiger stripes (the 3 bleached strips) and quickly mist it over w/ spray. Total time is about 8 minutes from towel drying out of the shower to done. (and that is getting dressed too). I do spend money on the right products - a white shampoo to keep my well water from making my bleached stripes turn orange, and a certain hairspray that really works. My daughters made me promise I would never go to any stylist but Kim - she is awesome and really does my hair darn good every time. Nice price too - $22 for a haircut and style  Other than that, I am pretty plain.... |

I just have hair you just have to know how to work with. I so understand you, and it's nice to know I'm not the only loony!!!! This is a subject that I have to chime in too--I really do have the 'hair from hell'! I have to have all my products and all my "hair tools" and they have to be the ONES THAT I KNOW will work--the worst disaster that I have had was when we went to Germany--I plugged my curling iron in the plug with the adapter that was supposed to be used. The curling iron heated and when I picked it up it just melted into a long string and then a blob. I was in a total panic as I HAD to HAVE my type which was not sold there anywhere. I called home and had one FedExed to me and it did not arrive the 14 days that we were there. I bought four different curling irons there and none really worked. I was totally miserable on that trip. I looked like a drowned rat the whole time we were there and it was embarrassing to me. Everyone with me made total fun of the fact that I was so upset. And I cannot stand to get my hair wet either--after all the time I spend I just hate to get it wet. Humidity is not my friend! My poor husband has put up with so much over the years and he has a 'line' that he uses when I come in with something different done to my hair--it never changes-he says: "It looks great and you look younger too"!  I am never satisfied with the way anyone styles it and always come home and do it over.It takes me an hour to do my hair--it is fine and thick and STRAIGHT--I would give anything for just a 'bend' and I envy those of you with curls--at least it is not flat to the head! If I had all the TIME and MONEY I have spent on my hair over the years...  |
All the hair trauma!  Ive always loved my (very) long hair because its easy: I tend to just brush it out, twist up into a bun, stick in a hairstick and go. Washing it is kind of a different story There's a LOT of it and it takes forever to wash, condition and dry.Ok, so for embarrassing hair issues, how's this: its long enough, that if I wear it down I have to be careful not to get it trapped in my jeans when I rush to leave a public restroom (another good reason to wear it up ) |

| If I weren't ashamed of it then maybe I'd post it!??! I mean, just to entertain you, and all. BTW, it has nothing to do with --ummm, you know-- The Incident. |
| I have been dealing with a family issue that is so ugly that I have not wanted to talk about it or share it. I think because I am so ashamed by my "family", the people in this world who share my dna... my sibs. I guess I'm still not ready to talk about it even now... Just know that it is ugly, and if I let it, it would drag me to the depths of depression. But I can't go there and take care of my mom, so I just smile and look to the next day to see what else can happen... and believe me it does... So I adopted an out look that I heard that Michael J. Fox uses and that is I choose to be happy! Every day, I smile and say, come and get me, cause I'm just going to laugh at you! |

| Zombies -just as all good monsters such as Frankenstein- can only chase you while draggin a leg or other body part. The key to getting away is simply to watch where you are going- don't stumble! |

| Ok. I'm a bit ashamed to admit I LOVE guitar hero. There I said it. (and I'm not bad either.) One of my favorite things lately is playing GH with my son Ian (17). The oddest part is, he doesn't seem even a little embarassed. Trust me, he'd say so if he was. Shellie |
| You guys are all very sheltered if hair and video game addictions are the worst of it for you LOL Man, I'm not even going to post anything cuz I'm just weird and the list would be too long. |

| Nelson and Sassy have more combs, brushes, sprays, gels, mousses, detanglers, shampoos, conditioners, texturizers, color correctors, whiteners, brighteners, manicure tools, tooth brushes, paste and scalers, medications, supplements, high-dollar foods and treat, accessories, etc., etc., etc., than I do. Also a high-priced hair dryer, a bathing system, their own bathtub, a box full of clipper blades and three clippers, a Dremel tool, outfits for every holiday, a closet full of leashes and collars, backpacks, Doggles, Muttluks, show boots, raincoats and some things I can't even recall. And I'm not ashamed of it. |
| Okay, I don't share the hair issues some others have. I think it's because my hair grows so insanely fast that I can't keep up with haircuts, etc anyway. So I've decided to use my super hair growing powers for good, not evil. I just let it grow. No cuts, and just the occasional (twice a year maybe) trim. Then, as soon as it's long enough, I put it in a ponytail and have it all hacked off at once. (The ponytail is so it can go to Locks of Love.) Then, from that minute on, I begin growing it again. I don't really think of it as my own hair anymore. I'm just "growing it for someone else" so I'm pretty easy going about it. I don't often do anything permanent to it. I try to keep it as "virgin" as possible for the next owner. Here's my dirty little (not so) secret... I am a confident, strong, capable woman (that's not the secret part) who secretly fears axe murderers. Yep. Axe murderers. Not robbers, rapists, wild animal attacks, home invasions, etc (and yes, I know that they are statistically infinitely more likely than an axe murderer attacking.) I worry about crazed axe murderers. And, this is how I handle it...anywhere that I sleep, I make sure to take the side farthest away from the most likely axe murderer point of entry. (Usually the door, occasionally a suspicious looking window.) This way, while the axe murderer is hacking up the other person (most likely my husband, but this also applies whenever I travel with others. They get the bed most likely to result in death.) I can run around to safety and live. If I get a bad vibe at someone's house, I'll avoid sitting on a couch that backs up against a large window for the very same reason. If an axe murderer is going to come crashing in, I'll be able to run out the other door while they're hacking the host to bits. And yet, I seem like an otherwise sane person. I wonder how many dinner invitations I'd get if this became common knowledge to all my friends. |
| Automatic car washes I can do it only if there's no one in front of me and I go in immediately. I turn up the radio, light a cigarette, and close my eyes til it's over. I'm always afraid I'll get trapped in there based on absolutely nothing. |
| I watch too much tv. Too much bad, inane ,mind numbing ,reality tv. I work shifts and over the years as we've gotten older our social life isn't as active as it once was. So I watch too much tv when I could be improving myself, the yard , the house and the dog's manners ! And throwing great dinner parties. P.S. I',m ashamed of my family sometimes too. Spending time with my Mom makes me depressed .Too negative. |

| Tracie, I'll see your axe murderer and raise you a GUNSLINGER. I can NEVER, and I mean NEVER have my back to a door in a restaurant. HE might come in and I want to stare death in the face. I know I probably can’t outrun him, but at least I can squeeze out an 'I Love You Babe', to my husband before he guns me down. I have to say though, your axe murderer is HYSTERICAL!  In the interest of full disclosure, I must also cop to my fear of sharks. I grew up in Hawaii for God's sake, but I CANNOT swim without looking around for sharks. A lot. Thankfully this does not translate to pools, unless it is dark with no light, then all bets are off. I can’t say as I am truly ashamed of the shark thing, I mean they CAN and WILL eat you. It's not like I am afraid of fluffy white bunnies... PS: Tracie, I would invite you to dinner, because I am confident in my ability to shoulder you out of the way as I dash out of the path of your axe murderer...I am quick little sucker... |
| If you're ever in Winnipeg stop by for dinner. I'll hold off the axe murderers, and promise you a gunslinger free meal. Even if I have to hire an armed guard to patrol the area. Or two, one for each of our fears to take out while we both run away to the nearest McDonald's. It's nice that there are people out there who get me. |
| Likewise for California. Although, come to think of it, we MAY have axe murderers... |
| Snakes. I have a huge fear of snakes. For some reason I'm more fearful of "tree" snakes. Of course I live in Florida so it is healthy to have a "distant" respect for snakes. When we first moved here, I told my hubby about the tree snakes. Of course he didn't believe me that there where Tree snakes until we saw a documentry about them here in Florida...so no, I'm not crazy. I've had many adventures with the wild life here in Florida. I've swam with 14 Manatee at Sabatian Inlet. There was a storm coming in so the Manatees headed for the "basin" which is where we where swimming. They are very huge. I was also at a park in Titusville, Playalinda and as we got out of the water and arrived at our towels (a few feet from the water) we turned around to look at the wter with our towels and we saw a sharks dorsel fin right where we just came out of the water. We looked at the people next to us and they looked at us with the look of "was that what I think it was?" One other encounter was with the Stingrays, they came in when we where swimming, we just kept a distance. I won't even go into the allegators and ferrel pigs. |
I think I am too much of a chicken to live in Florida. The first time I ran into a turtle in Hawaii, we BOTH screamed and darted away. I am much better now.  |

I routinely stop and move turtles that are crossing the road! If they are snappers, I just herd them, from a safe distance! |
