Re: Extremely Short Stories for those of you with Extremely Short Attention Spans
Pink and Lee, Thanks so much. I told a friend that I seem to be obsessed with hair. Personal hair care products just seem to multiply and I now have an iron that makes waves. Which in turn led to another product to keep it from burning my hair. I said it was probably because I was just happy to have hair. Which is me quoting me. A woman I know made a crappy remark about my very short hair at one point and I smiled at her and told that I was just happy to have hair. When someone whispered in her ear about the cancer, she was very embarassed, but some people just don't know when to shut up.
