A small price to pay
Crouch down, bag in hand, as I scoop
Everytime I go on a long trip,
My sitter becomes some treasured jewelry
Thank yous and thank yous and thank yous because
What would I have done if I had nowhere to leave my dog?

A small fund to pay
Getting up early in the day for a quick walk so she'd pee
Every single morning, and every single night and well,
I have learnt to appreciate grasses and streetside garbage cans
And appreciate those coookoo looking folks
Who actually pick up after their dogs as I do

A small sacrifice, I say
To have paid to purchase her
Driving 2 hours and returning with my doggie
Sometimes the food can get costly and grooming can be too
But hey! You havent seen what she does
Everytime I come home from school

A huge stress to my day
she barks at strangers and
sometimes she just wont listen
And thats how I know, I too, was made for her.

A lot of knowledge to gain
To know that dogs mentruate thesame
And smaller ones bark alot cus
they really are afraid
And that liver and peanuts are dogs' best treats
Oh and my suprise when I learnt that onions are poor for their health

And a whole lot of smiles its true
Everytme she wags her tail
I look up and bless the day
October 12, 2007. My joy was born.

So today, I bless it again
And thank God for making dogs for humans to love
If she ever leaves, I'll be left alone
And I dont want another dog to fill the hole because
Truly, aint no dog in this world like my Lhasa-Poo Dream

1759:
He was hot enough to come third which is quite a feat. Its actually stale news, the competition was held in March in South Korea.

Yeah i know. Like i said, he isnt unattractive, BUT after seeing some of the other men he'll be competing with, I am certain he could not have won.

Its unfortunate that the hotter Naija men didnt come out to compete. Some Naija men are fiiiiiine as hell. Mind you, I guess we really should appreciate this dude for tanding up and competing. It isnt easy to put yourself out like that.

I must say, that is one question I can never find myself asking anyone. That is what a mirror is for! And why would you want to ask someone else when if they were to say "no", it'd only make you feel bad? And if they were to say yes, you probably wouldnt believe anyway because for you to have asked in the first place, you must've thought that you probably arent fine?! huh

Why do dogs lick so much?

At what point does a sun become a moon?

When does life start (and please, dont tell me it stats at 50. I mean, at what point does a fetus/embryo become a thing to consider as human?) ?

Why was I not alive in Ella Fitzgerald's / Nina Simone's days?

Why do we call it sunset as opposed to earthset, when it isnt the sun that is moving, but the earth itself?

Ejadamen:
Thanks for the vid AqRiUs. I've done that type of loc before about 2yrs back. Had it in for 4-6 months(can't remember now) but I do remember how my hair looked after I took it out,horrible! But I think that was because I didn't know much about hair care then. I might try it again.

Oh really? lol wow. Yeah mayyyyyybe give it one more try lol. Let us know how it turns out if ever you do get that done again.

naija_diva:
thanks for the breakdown.

You're welcome.

madlady:
Hi @AqRiUs Age The question I should have asked is "if I keep the tension taut will I achieve ringlets, but I presume from you answer to question 1. that's not the case.Your locs appear to be quite springy (ringlets) is it because of your hair type?The way I ALWAYS miro- braid is, parts and rows are ALL exactly spaced, I make straight lines so it can be parted at any point on the head, I find this method gives a very neat finish. What I wanted to know is, if I follow the same principle with YOUR locs technique, will I achieve a very neat finish?

hey Madlady! Sorry I've been so busy (sleeping lol). No,I dont believe you'll get ringlets that way. BTW, I wanted to let you know; when the client washes their hair (for the first few times till their hair is locked), they have to part the locs in bunches and tie the ends of each bunch up with elastics so that the locs wont come undone.
I suppose you'd get a neat finish, Madlady.

~Sissy~:
tnx quite interesting! do u plan on keeping urs permanent?

Yes. I do.

Yeah, oh yeah it certainly is. Sometimes when I think about it, I realize that loctitians who charge so much money (like for SLs) do deserve how much they charge because its so time consuming.

No problem.

1.No, it wont. If you do it too tightly at the roots however, it will cause knots (you dont want knots, it'll get weak and may eventually break off at the knot)

2.As fine as you please. Keep in mind that the finer (is that even a word? lol) you go, the more time conuming it'll be and the momore challenging it'll be for the client to get it retightened (it'll cost them more time and money).

3.Can you explain what you mean again? I didnt get it. Do you mean the pattern that you did when you parted the hair?

@Naija_diva[/b]Microlocs are to sisterlocs what laptops are to macbooks.
Microlocs are locs that are made small (regardless what tool you use, though the common tool fr microlocs is to go the interlocking route). Sisterlocs is a type of microlocs, but its a patented type. Its like, a "brandname". In my opinion, there arent much differences between the two, but the lady who patented the idea, would disagree. Keep in mind that she makes $ off of making people believe that the two types of locs are different, so her judgement may be biased due to that. I have sisterlocs, and I feel that it isnt different from regular microlocs.

[b]@Madlady
(its okay)1.Yes, you do. But dont mae it too tight toot he root because you'll end up with a knot as the loc grows out. you'll probably make this mistake once and only once lol. Keep n mind that when its too tight, it may be uncomfrotable for your client. 2. No, because the old loc is already done with. You dont need to do anything else to it. To retighten, you start at the top of the new growth (i.e the junction of where the new groth and the formed loc starts) and work your way down to the root. #3. Yes. BUT that one looks to me like the type that has small holes. Search for one with larger holes so the hiar can fit through. If you cant find those, then use one like I did (the craft needle). Bestif you can use a crochet hook, since you wont be oding it in your own hair.

[b]@Ejadamen[/b]I WNDER IF ANYONE WOULD HAVE OTHER IDEAS AS TO HOW TO START/DO NON PERMANEN LOCS. Check this video, Ejadamen. This one isnt permernent, though it involves the use of an extension.

An otheridea that comes to mind (and SAgodess might be interested in this, also) is to twist (two strand twist) your own hair and leave it in for a while.

Ejadamen:
I'm confused by all these many types of locs. Take braidlocs for instance,what is that? I saw a pic of it where a lady braided her hair into individual braids(no extensions) and left it and it became locs(is that how it works?) I'm wondering what happens to the new growth of hair after a while? Would sha re-braid?

Braidlocs: A form of locs that are started, by using braids. Please keep in mind that you can only start the locs using this process, but you'll have to employ a different method (interlocking, twisting or palmrolling), to retighten (in other words, to loc the new growth) it. Braidlocs are done by braiding your hair, and leaving the braids in. In other words, you never take the braids out and then it locs that way. This is probably the easiest way to start your locs especially if you're starting them on your own. This is the most cost effective way and it requires no gel/beezwax/hairproducts. just time, and effort

. i fidn that braidslocs is better for smaller hair (not necessarily shorter hair, but smaller as in tiny locs as opposed to big-chunky ones. For the former, try interlocking). So, yes you have the right idea, Ejadamen, the lady did braidslocs. She cant rebraid the new growth so she'll have to try one of the other methods.
