Once in a blue moon I do hubby's hair and use
the women's hair coloring that I get free or cheap.
It works just the same.
So please tell me why they have coloring just for men????
And for those of you who wish to spend that extra
$7 to $8 on Just For Men hair color, here is
a $2.00 off printable coupon.
I'll just stick with my el cheapo and free coloring for him!!
I realize Just For Men only takes 5 minutes compared to regular
hair coloring but they should have to suffer through those
20-40 minutes like us if they want us to save money, LMAO.
-------------------------------
I did notice that Walgreens had a
coupon for $3.00 off Loreal Preference hair color.
It's in a Walgreens coupon booklet.
There is also a manufacture coupon for $3.00 off
to combine with it.
Regular $9.99 minus $6.00 would make it $3.99
---------------------------------
For those of you who do your own hair cutting
at home, Walgreens has a $5.00 off coupon in their
booklet on Wahl's 24 piece styling kit.
I don't know what the regular price is though.

Here's an idea. If every you lose power you can
bring in those solar powered lights out in your yard.
Use those indoors instead of lighting candles.
Then put back outside during daylight hours
to recharge. Sure wish I had them when we lost
power for several days!

Everyone's heard of Ebay and everyone's heard
of Goodwill. How about a combination of both.
Goodwill has a site where some dontations are auctioned
off online. It's their own auction site, not Ebay!
Shipping seems a little high as they ship UPS or FedEx.
Plus I saw they put in a handling fee.
So I guess it depends what kind of deal you get
as to whether or not the shipping seams reasonable.
But you should get the item pretty quick with their
shipping methods.
Here's an example:
To ship a small headset that looks like ear buds
it is 1 pound. From Indiana to ohio costs $7.59.
That's a little much!

Well tonight I made the Dawn and vinegar bathtub cleaner.
I wasn't impressed with the results.
While it did clean good it did not remove the bathtub
stains. The clear coat on the tub is no longer there
in areas and that's where the stains are. It's a 50
year old tub. I guess it's good as a regular bathtub
and tile cleaner as it did shine up the walls.
I did manage to disinfect my lungs and sinuses from the potent
smell of vinegar! But I guess it's better than toxic fumes
from other chemicals.
So I guess my next step will be to try
a mix of baking powder and vinegar and let it set then scrub.

SMALL SMILES DENTAL CLINICS
This was on the news tonight. And while I can't find
it on channel 10's website I did find many websites
about it when I googled it.
Small Smiles is doing unnecessary work to children
and overcharging them! Now they have a law suit against
them!
SMALL SMILES
CBSNEWS
CLEVELAND
I took one of my children to Small Smiles a couple years ago.
I vowed to never ever go back there after that visit!!!
I did NOT have a medical card and had to pay CASH!
for the visit as we did not have any kind of medical insurance.
For starters they would not allow parents to be with their
children when they worked on them! Only when getting a consultation.
Makes you wonder what the hell was really going on behind closed doors.
Next thing I didn't like was they would strap your child down
with restraints, boards with velcro straps!!!
That'll make a kid want to visit a dentist again.
And this was my child's first visit to a dentist!!
Next they wouldn't do any work on him unless he got a cleaning
and whatever else there was! So that was extra expenses!
That didn't make sense to me because I knew other dentists
didn't require all that crap!
Next the waiting room was jammed packed and it took forever
to be seen!
And lastly and my BIGGEST complaint was that we told them to
pull my son's tooth that he had a toothache and cavity in.
We considered his age and that it was a baby tooth. Why spend
all that money for other services when he would be losing
it soon anyway.
When we got home we looked in his mouth to see where he got his
tooth pulled. THEY DID NOT PULL IT. THEY PUT A CAP ON THE TOOTH
AND CHARGED US FOR IT. THEY DID IT WITHOUT OUR CONSENT!!
My mom called and even went back over there to ream their asses
for what they did!!! It got us absolutely nowhere!!
That's when I knew something was up and never went back
and told everyone I knew, or didn't know, TO NEVER GO THERE.
So now that there is a big law suit over the whole Small Smiles
doing crap they shouldn't have who gets to reap the rewards of the law
suit???? Probably not the people who paid cash BUT the welfare offices!!
Once again we the people are SCREWED!!!
WHERE IS OUR PAIN, SUFFERING, TIME AND COST RECOUPED FROM THIS????
