One of my better decisions later in life was to no longer color my hair and let nature take its course. 

 

My hair is a pretty silver gray now.

Re: Poor, poor pitiful me

Some people are selfish and others forget the misfortunes and horrors that other people survived.

 

During the war people were hidden and did not have much food  and any amenities for months. People who hid them sacrificed their lives and shared and cared for them. It took courage to have others survive.

 

Today it is absolutely ridiculous to think that any American can not just make the simple sacrifice of staying home and keep social distance. How selfish of anyone not to do this for survival of themselves and people.

 

All generations of Americans much now join together on the soil of this country to sacrifice only inconvenience compared to others who had sacrificed so much more during war.

 

Whether you are a boomer, generation X, Y, or millennial, you MUST not be foolishly selfish. Sacrifice is required. Just do it.

 

We want to survive, save lives, and do our part for our country, ourselves and our future.

In the Southwest, virtually all hairdressers rent a booth or chair in a salon and are self-employed, neither working for or reporting to anyone.  When this Unemoyment Insurance provision kicks in and they receive $600/wk plus the other giveaways, you won't get them back to work until their eligibility is exhausted.  It's the paid vacation they never before had.  Be prepared for long nails and gray, shaggy hair.

@ Imaoldhippie. I know what you mean. When our salons had to close, one of my first thoughts was, "wow I'm glad now I decided to stop coloring my hair a couple of years ago so it's all gray now. Otherwise by the time this was all over I'd be seriously two-toned!"
