The hair dresser about scalped me last time I got a hair cut. I just wanted a trim on the sides and in the back -- nothing taken off the top. Apparently I didn't make that clear to her. My hair is thin and fine to begin with, and now it's so short that even with hair spray I'm having a terrible time getting it to look half decent. I'll sure be glad when it grows out a little bit!
I recall the time I attended a writers' conference and my hair spray spilled all over my clothes in the suitcase. (That was when I learned to put any and all liquids in plastic baggies when packing!) The conference was just a three day affair, so I didn't have a lot of clothes with me. You can imagine how stiff my dress was when I removed it from the suitcase and tried to wear it. But worse yet was my underwear! Did you gals ever try wearing nylon undies that were stiff as a board? It's not comfortable, I can guarantee you!
Then I think about people who are as stiff as my spray-soaked undies, spiritually speaking, that is. I'm talking about people who have an opinion on anything and everything and will not budge for love nor money even when they're wrong. Of course, they never admit to being wrong. They're so wrapped up in their own ideas they won't budge an inch for anybody. If someone else's opinion doesn't agree with theirs, they refuse to listen to reason. They refuse to even try to see another person's point of view, whether right or wrong. They're just plain stiff and starchy!
Like I sometimes tell my husband, "My opinion is the right opinion! No two ways about it" Oops -- didn't mean to let that secret out!
Hair spray does have its good point, though. Did you know you can use it to remove stains from a ball point pen?
Are you a stiff and starchy Christian? Oh, I surely hope not!

P.S. And I'm only "funnin'" with my husband when I tell him my opinion is the only right opinion!
