I really can see that everyone is saying the exact same message over and over and over again and I guess the planet are screwy because the message is very easy to read. It read hve respect for the choices i have made in life . It doesn't matter which post you grab you will read it that way.I am not angry with you Jerky Flea. What you felt was frustration because you step between Jena and I and my claws were out. I wanted Jena to feel confident in her choices. I felt that you were threathening the process of making Jena feel good about herself not that she needs my help or anyone because it is all there in her soul. She made some changes and she needed to hear that is great . I am there for you etc which I am for her 100%. There was no need for interefences. Actually a few of us were trying to be the peacekeepers. There were no need to rescue Jena as you felt it was needed. Obviously no need. Believe me she is not screaming help!!!!I don't have a beef with you. I just didn't appreciated when you step in which cause some grief. Yes I am a mother hen by nature and I tend to be protective of the ones I happen to like and Jena is very much on my list so is Dawn, Dave etc.I made some very good friends on this web site and on another one and I know for a fact that my friends are very honest with their thoughts . They tend to be considerate of others. This is not about three separete groups of people Its is about sharing our feelings , our experiences so it can make other lives richer as well ours.I really feel that everyone can accept each other. There are so many other topics that could be discuss and would also make our lives richer in knowledge.All I am asking that is we make an effort to accept others the way they are.

Hiya Diane,> I really can see that everyone is saying the exact> same message over and over and over again and I guess> the planet are screwy because the message is very easy> to read. It read hve respect for the choices i have> made in life . It doesn't matter which post you grab> you will read it that way.As I said before, I think we began arguing by accident. My real problem was with what Dawn said to Jena and how it contradicted a response she made to me. I sort of started defending Jena by accident. When you jumped into to smooth things over, from my perspective, it sounded as though you were defending Dawn's original position, rather than bolstering Jena. Sorry if I interpreted it incorrectly and dragged you errantly into the fray.> I am not angry with you Jerky Flea.

Believe me she is not screaming> help!!!!Oh, hey, don't I know it. I've corresponded several times with Jena myself and am well aware of her lack of need to be defended. She's perfectly content with doing what pleases her, regardless of the pros and cons offered here. More power to her. Again, whereas you were simply defending Jena in your post, you unfortunately became involved in what was a much larger discussion.> I don't have a beef with you. I just didn't> appreciated when you step in which cause some grief.Hopefully, I've cleared that up now.> Yes I am a mother hen by nature and I tend to be> protective of the ones I happen to like and Jena is> very much on my list so is Dawn, Dave etc.> I made some very good friends on this web site and on> another one and I know for a fact that my friends are> very honest with their thoughts .

However, it's inevitable that certain "camps" will form as people discuss issues. I was merely recognizing the ones on this issue. Heck, on a different topic, it may be me and Dawn against Dave and Lurker. =)> I really feel that everyone can accept each other.> There are so many other topics that could be discuss> and would also make our lives richer in knowledge.> All I am asking that is we make an effort to accept> others the way they are.Ok, let's start over. Spilt milk under the bridge and stuff like that. First, here's and olive branch. No, here's the entire tree along with a bunch of doves (couldn't get them out of the tree).Next, let me introduce myself. Hi, I'm JerkyFlea and I write a column giving updates on celebrity hair and rather opinionated views of their style choices. I firmly believe that anyone should be able to wear their hair anyway that they want, but also believe that not every hairstyle looks good on every person (unless, of course, you are Madonna). I've seen women with absolutely gorgeous hair (long and short) that didn't flatter them one bit. For example, Salma Hayek currently has a beautifully styled short bob, but it doesn't hold a candle to her long hair. Conversely, last I saw Justine Bateman (of "Family Ties" fame), she had mid-back length hair that looked good, but wasn't nearly as complimentary as some of her shorter styles.What I'm getting at is that if you want to shave your head, fine. If you want to grow you hair to your feet, great. However, if you ask my opinion of it, I'll tell you. Doesn't mean you're wrong or I'm right, but if you ask me, I assume you want to know what I think based on my knowledge, experience, and, yes, personal preferences. Which is, essentially, what you'll get if you ask anyone. It's just that all of us are different people and thus what constitutes those things will vary for each of us. Fair enough?By the way, this would be one of those "agree to disagree" points. =)So, are we cool now?JFRelated Link:JerkyFlea's Celebrity Hair Spray
