Genetics are super cool and interesting. Until, that is, you get your Dad's eyebrows!
See, I've started having some grey hair. A few in my temple area, but a couple, recently, in my eyebrows.
Which wouldn't ordinarily be a huge deal cuz you can just colour over them or whatever the fancy makeup term is, but these hairs are wild and crazy.
They do NOT follow the natural flow of regular hairs which means they stick out like crazy. (As do my Dad's famously wild eyebrows!) And this last one that came up, half of it was normal and then apparently the other half decided to grow white and disorderly so it was extra super long and half white and the white part was crooked so it stuck out! GAH!
I really have no idea how to handle these suckers so I'm just hoping they won't... you know, reproduce or anything.
And at least I also got my Dad's sense of humour... although that may be less genetics and more what I grew up with!
Whoops. Double Whoops!
I have an (older) Apple laptop, and some of you who do as well, may know the frustration of the charger cords. They are absolutely the weak point of these devices and constantly fray and break. Especially, it seems, for me, probably due to the angle of my cord compared to where it has to plug in and where I spend most of my time. So because this part breaks so much, I get tired of paying the $100 for the replacement I know isn't going to live all that long. Last time I got a replacement I tried to fortify the break point, but it still went. And then I ordered a slightly cheaper one off of Amazon. It didn't come from apple, but arrived with all apple branding, so... I figured it was real enough. *shrug* It frayed as well, and this time the protective coating was only slightly split so I left it for a while, intending to get some electrical tape to seal it up for a while. Which is why I was not so happy to hear and see it spark when I went to plug it in...
