Untangled a slinky?

I think I need your help with my hair

As far as hair, I *have* managed to remove impressive mats (75% of the back) with only having to snip less than a dozen hairs, but that was my own hair, and my hair's not the least bit curly...

My oldest sister just came home from the hospital. She had suffered a series of mild strokes ten days ago. But she was very lucky, and she's doing just fine now. We fervently hope that she will finally stop smoking!

That's great news Yarreau, though mine's a little less epic...

Thrashed a brand new VW Polo in my 20 year old VW Scirocco today

..we had a spur of the moment race off the roundabout

Polos belong off the road. Well done.

This week's monumental *fail* at w*rk being nothing to do with anyone I know or work with.

I do feel sorry for the IT guys trying to fix it though, sounds like a pig of a job...

*sits back and waits with VERY little to do until it's fixed. Been waiting since monday.*
