Here in Memphis, there isn’t a lot of the big hair thing going on. But there’s plenty of other quirks! 😉

My hair won’t take a curl no matter how much I hold the iron on it or spray it. :rolleyes:
 
I don’t know anyone who used coke cans as hot rollers.

But I did have an awesome set of Conair hot rollers in high school and college, it had jumbo sized rollers but not quite the size of a coke can.

Orange juice cans west of Texas.

I’m wondering how you heat them. Seems dangerous.

I have naturally big curly hair. I actually put stuff in my hair to “de-volumize” it.

I would think you’d heat them with a hair dryer. I used to have a set of conair rollers that were metallic and then you’d use the hair dryer to heat them.

I actually have used very large rollers to straighten my hair and make it fuller.

OH! YEAH! Thanks for bringing that up. My husband told me hours ago that he is unsure about Texas because of scorpions…do they really get inside the house?? Aren’t houses made of concrete? How can they get in?

I lived for five years in Texas. I never once saw a scorpion (except when I traveled to Big Bend national park).

If you live in the middle of East Texas, you might see one occasionally. In big cities, it will never happen.

Now, Chiggers on the other hand…

I have 2 daughters with hair past their waist, and one is an esthetician.
It’s a girly house. :o

Pretty bad when you’re having a random conversation and you see one of them staring at your eyebrows…and then the inevitable question:
“Mama, you want me to wax you tonight?”

I do, but man, how embarrassing. LOL

Funny!

I bet they keep you PRETTY.
 
It’s the second week of November, it’s 83 or so degrees outside, and I’ve got a 5.5" long lizard hanging out on my kitchen window screen.

(It’s normally not this warm.)

Nuts to that.

Down here, the ice-cream trucks keep rolling into December. (Latitude 27[sup]o[/sup]).

Here, “cold” begins at 69 degrees and isn’t seen until early November nor stay very long.

(1982 and 1987 were however, special cases).🙂

Speaking of scorpions, we do have them in this minor city. A friend found 2 in his kitchen.

I however, haven’t seen one since 1984.

Most houses have crevices that bugs and rodents can use (between the deck and wall framing, etc).

Normally, November is when I realize that it’s time to switch out of sandals. But it hasn’t happened yet.

Our local Texas college girls LOVE their boots (mostly ladies’ boots, not cowboy boots) and my estimate is that the boots go on as soon as the temperature hits 65 degrees.

(Cowboy boots definitely have their place, though, and look fantastic with the right skirt. I once saw a photo shoot locally with a woman wearing a white wedding dress with green cowboy boots.)

LOL. I’ve no hair left so to me it’s amusing.

GOD made a few perfect heads; the rest He covered with hair :):)🙂

GEddie! OH NO!
I pictured you as looking a lot like Fabio!!!

I’m devastated. I had no idea you suffered from chrome-domia.
Pobrecito!

I wear mine just about every day- SO comfy!! They’re not fancy cowboy boots- more like rancher/work cowboy boots.

Not a college girl by ANY stretch of the imagination, however!! 😛
