"words of affirmation"
"physical touch"
NO the only way I wish to show or receive affection is by sending someone a little picture of something insulting and writing "this is you"

I have always wondered about this as there are even ginger dyes which seem alarmingly mauve on first application.

It still has that unpleasant almost purple sheen at the moment - which I've learnt today is to do with the speed at which different colour pigment molecules oxidise! Red and blue oxidise quickly, yellow takes longer, so often dyes have that initial weirdly maroon tint before they settle in.

I feel as you do about the common beet; beautiful but taste like dirt. These I find sweeter and milder - I don't mind the golden ones either. Much more palatable.

Dad used to moan about how I hadn't grown out of Doctor Who. I now get paid to write about it, so when I visit him I wear Dalek socks.

Well I just wasted two hours of over thinking about something that certainly doesn't matter but I have finally decided on my overwrought route forward.
