Guest guest Posted September 24, 2001 Report Share Posted September 24, 2001 Lana, pour it back in the pot. if it has lost heat, you can kick start it on the stove just warm it up and it will take over with the chemical process. Stir to trace as normal. If you have a stick blender, you may want to use it. I dont knwo what you used as a mold but you may have to reline it. Please be careful and wear rubber gloves as you are dealing with raw soap. Shaye Help! Just made my first batch of CP the oils seperated out when I poured it into the mold. What do I do?

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2002 Report Share Posted March 8, 2002 Hi ; No dish detergent will help your hair. All it will do is strip what oils you have in your hair out. If you had the top part bleached, the color is gone untill it grows out. The only thing that I can recomment is to go to the drug store and buy a coloring that will wash out in four or five shanpooings, one that is as close to the brown part on the bottom. Clairol used to make temporary coloring but I don't remember what it is called. You might go to a beauty supply store and get a temporary rinse. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2002 Report Share Posted March 9, 2002 I second the purple!!! (red or blue would be nice too... so long as it coordinates with what you are wearing of course! ;->) Sorry I had a rather large purple stripe in the from of my hair last summer so I'm a bit partial to odd hair colors! Don't worry, it's blonde now... course the rest of my hair is auburn so it still doesn't look " normal " . Seriously though, you must be careful if you try to over dye the blonde part. Commercial dyes are not formulated to be used over hair that has already been " roughened " by being dyed and/or bleached. My friends and I tend to have " odd " hair colors. One of my friends had gotten tired of her bleached hair, so she was going to dye it back to a color close to her natural black. It came out purple due to the damage from the bleaching. I think she used Feria. OK, so the box DID say to not use on bleached hair. I would suggest going to a professional salon supply and get their opinion as to what would be best. Just my $0.02.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2002 Report Share Posted March 9, 2002 When you have bleached hair and decide to color it dark again, you must put back the red that was stripped out when your hair was bleached. I learned this the hard way, 30+ years ago when I went from white blonde bleached hair and put some dark clariol color on it, I came out green. Odd colors were not in style in back then. Hope it helps, now days there are so many more options. I am sure you are a beautiful enough person to pull off any bad hair day. Janet --- E Farra <bast1531@...> wrote: > I second the purple!!!

Jay, I'm so sorry to hear what has happened to Leigh. This is something that the parents of children with special needs in our school district have been worried about for the past few years.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2002 Report Share Posted April 29, 2002 Oh Jay, I'm SO sorry about what happened. As I was reading your post all I could think was " where was the teacher???? " I was just trying this afternoon to imagine my daughter in middle school - the scenario I came up with wasn't pretty. I can almost imagine her throwing something, and I can definetly imagine her being depressed, suicidal, cutting herself... Middle school is so hard, even for normal kids, and it seems that the schools STILL just don't take the social pressures seriously enough. I wish I had words of advice, but I don't. You and your daughter have all my sympathy though. Best wishes, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2002 Report Share Posted April 29, 2002 yes the teacher was there the whole time, and when I questioned what the teacher was doing while this was happening, they stated only that they didnt see a classroom management issue and the teacher did exactly what was expected of her (nothing I guess). For this reason I have decided there is no way that I can put her back in this classroom. The court is an adult court because the town I am in has less than 600 residents though I am basically in a suburb of Denver. In Colorado, a child over the age of 10 can be charged as an adult. She was 13 (2 days before her 14th birthday) when it happened. And, oh yeah, I got a call today wanting to schedule the manifestation hearing for wednesday, but I am going to try to hold them off til next week so I can get an advocate to go with me.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2002 Report Share Posted April 30, 2002 Dear Jay, I lived in Colorado for a while and had problems with how they deal with these kinds of kids. Your story is just horrible. I know exactly what I would do, if it wasn't for the court situation. I would sue for harassment to my child. She showed way more tolerance than most kids with these disorders would show. I believe her condition is to show that her behavior was overly good for the situation. I am totally disgusted that they would do this to you. I wish I had some concrete help for you, but I don't. I just had to let you know what my feeling was about this. M P.S. I agree very much with Lee of madblond. I think you have a case against the school and I would seek out an attorney. They had no right to treat your child that way. The school is liable.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2002 Report Share Posted April 30, 2002 Jay, It sounds as though Leigh was doing what was required of her according to her IEP, the boy attacked her first by throwing her water bottle at her then continued to harrass her (probably being aware of the situation and how she may react). Do what ever you can to protect your daughter. My daughter (TS, OCD, ADHD) was in a similar situation three years ago and is still on probation. Her probation officer is dense when it comes to Chelle's disorders. Please follow the advice that has been given here. Hire a good attorney to protect your daughter, have a statement from her psychiatrist if he/she cannot appear in court with you, sue the school district for not preventing this from happening in the first place, and file harrassment charges against the child who started the incident. Teachers have a way of not seeing what is going on when it comes to teasing and bullying. My daughter was bullied and harrassed for a long time by one particular boy. Nothing was done about it because he was the son of the vice-principal of the school. The teachers turned a blind eye to what was happening. I was unaware of most of what was going on until my daughter exploded on the kid. She didn't even hit him - just verbally attacked him. I couldn't afford an attorney and the court appointed one. None of them understand our kids. You need your own attorney who will fight tooth and nail for your child. I just read Gail's post to you - excellent advice from an expert. Good luck to you and Leigh. I pray that you prevail in your efforts for her. Progress, one child at a time. Phyllis <A HREF= " mailto:ppepe2001@...
