She said "older person" in a timid way, fearing the emphasis on age might offend me... but all I heard was the "great hair" part of it. I gave her a big hug and told her she made my day. | | | May 11th, 2005, 05:50 PM | #2 | | Long Hair Guru Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: US Age: 33 Posts: 1,054 Length: 14"/22"/30" Type: 1a/1b// | | Re: Compliment from a teenager | | Awwww that was so sweet of her, how cute is that? | | | May 11th, 2005, 05:51 PM | #3 | | Long Hair Guru Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: US Age: 33 Posts: 1,054 Length: 14"/22"/30" Type: 1a/1b// | | Re: Compliment from a teenager | | Oh congrats on the compliment also..... | | | May 11th, 2005, 07:09 PM | #4 | | Moderator Join Date: Feb 2003 Location: In the closet with Mothra Posts: 6,122 Length: 26"/33.5"/39.5" Type: 2b/F/ii | | Re: Compliment from a teenager | | What a nice compliment, and it was well deserved, JKRBeloved; your hair is lovely. The "older" part would have me smile, teehee. __________________ The Big Question oil: Japanese camellia shampoo: Earthly Delight leave-in: Shea It Ain't So treatments: cassia; Phytologie Phytomoelle avatar: Una and the Lion ~Briton Rivière | | | May 11th, 2005, 07:25 PM | #5 | | Long Hair Guru Join Date: May 2004 Location: traveling the enchanted path Age: 48 Posts: 2,480 Length: 22/31.5/ Type: 2c/F/M/ii | | Re: Compliment from a teenager | | I agree, you do have very nice hair. | | | May 11th, 2005, 08:56 PM | #6 | | Long Hair Guru Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Nowhere Posts: 1,521 Length: pixie/40 in/thigh Type: 1c/M/C/iii | | Re: Compliment from a teenager | | Awww that's lovely!

Type: 3a/3b/F/M/iii | | Re: Compliment from a teenager | | Congrats, and this is a big deal coming from such a young person. Even as one who is firmly out of the "cool zone" in Teenagerland, I can still remember being in high school clearly and the universal distain for anyone over 25. Your hair is great, and the fact that a teen actually said so IS a big deal, so wallow in it! Of course, you know what this REALLY means, don't you? You've become A ROLE MODEL. (Cue scary piano music) Good luck to you on that score! What a responsibility... Speedy | | | May 12th, 2005, 04:21 AM | #10 | | Long Hair Guru Join Date: Apr 2004 Location: Here, rather than there.

You definitely deserve it, enjoy! __________________  A visit with friends makes for great hair!
