What is it about oxycontin? I am watching Nurse Jackie and that is her addiction.

It's a prescription opiate... Similar to morphine or vicoden

I wonder if it appears that I am online if my computer is open. Even if longhaircareforum is a tab that I am not on?

Yes. As long as you are logged onto LHCF and your computer is not shutdown or locked or in standby you appear to be online.

^^^^^thanks. I rarely log out and was wondering

I need a bit of help, I don't get my notices when using the android app, but even when I go online, I still have issues. For example, I had a few private messages and a couple of tags, but as soon as I clicked on one of the messages all of my other notifications went away and I don't know where or rather, how to view the threads I was tagged in. Any ideas? I am still clueless about a lot of the functions on thus site.

I am having the same problems as well!

I have a question.... My power went out at maybe 11pm on Friday and came back on at 3am this morning. I made sure to not go in it once so I could keep everything cold for as long as possible. When the power came back on I finally opened it and touched a few things to test the temp and everything was still cool.

So....am I good? Or do I really need to throw stuff out? Lol

What is slip?

What does stretching your relaxer do?

@Kiowa slip = slippery smoothness so a comb or fingers can glide through hair.

I thinking stretching relaxers allows you to use chemicals on your head less (as they aren't exactly a safe thing to be applying so close to your brain) and also help minimize the risk of overlap and therefore damage. Coz there's no way to completely avoid relaxer touching the base of the hair that was previously relaxed so if you're getting touchups sooner, then you're risking that over and over again over various sections of your hair. I think some people get better retention when they stretch because chemicals do break bonds of your hair and make it weaker than it was in its virgin state. So for some people, that weakening means they have to work harder to keep the hair on their head. By spreading out the times you subject your hair to that weakening, you allow your hair to stay strong longer and therefore retain better. (Of course there are people who find holding onto new growth for longer than two months means breakage at the point of demarcation so stretching may not work for some.)

@Phaer and @thehappyserver, you could hit the back browser button to return to the profile page that you just read your last notice from so you can finish reading all your other tags or mentions--whichever it is you checked first and then didn't know how to go back.

As for the others, you can click on your name at the top of the LHCF window where it says "Welcome, (your name)" and that will take you to your profile. There you will see tabs with the headings, About Me, Statistics, Friends, etc (see attachment) below. If you click on the Thread Tags tab, you will see all the tags you've had the latest ones on top. The double arrows at the end show there are more tabs not displayed so if you click on that, you will be taken to your Mentions tab where all your mentions are listed.

HTH

@Phaer, to return to your private messages, if you click on Quick Links right next to the Search button at the top of the window, there's a link to Private Messages.

Lol oh wow. Yea lot of missing words. Sorry lol. I was talking about the fridge/freezer and whether or not I had to tossthe stuff in my fridge is it was still cold when I opened it today when my power came back on (went out at about 11pm Friday and came back on at 3am).

Nonie · #**1537** 07-01-2012, 01:30 PM

@LovelyLouboutin, I think stuff in the fridge might be OK, but it may depend on the food (why am I making a face as I type?

I'm imagining fish and chicken smelling foul

). If you think about it, when you take lunch to work that needs heating up, you may leave home before 8 and not get to heat it up until noon, and it's still edible. Now the freezer is a-whole-nother ball game. Usually when meat that was frozen thaws it needs to be cooked before you freeze it again.

Anyway, let's look to experts for guidelines on refrigeration--maybe this will help you decide:

Thanks you !!

I had salmon in the fridge and I tossed it just to be safe. The stuff in the freezer didn't even look like it began to thaw.

Another dumb question that bothers me because I can't figure it out?

What does the gray and green circles next to the profile names mean? Some are gray while others are green...perplexed. Told ya it was a dumb question :-).

Green means you're online: red means you're not; I'm assuming gray is that you're idle
