Happy Australia Day

[artofbrowneyedgirl]

i like the hair - not bad at all!

[Jinxie228]

haha @ the Bra straps. Good Lord if I showed mine I might as well .. well nevermind. It was a cute satin container ..love the red.

I need to find a picture of a bad hair cut and I believe its shorter than yours. lol

[popparoc46]

I would love to find just the perfect hair stylist! I think it is impossible, Martha! -roc

[odetothepillow]

You *are* all hot and bothered!

[popparoc46]

YES!! - roc

[CelticMusings]

Hi roc! Lovely video! You're so funny! You brighten my day!

[popparoc46]

Thanks, Dalton. - roc

[gleegirloz]

Thanks mate,I had a great one and think you should do the Dragon,they Rawk! ;)

[popparoc46]

I think I just might, Glee! -roc

[bugsinrug]

roc - your hair looks great & I love the colour of your jacket! Perfect for you.

A black bra? Wow!

hugs, Chris

[popparoc46]

((shush)) yes, a black bra. My mother wouldn't approve. I always allow myself a sneaky little smile when I put it on...

- roc

[Sikosm]

Your hairs looks FINE!!!

Thanks for the Australia Day wishes! I hope you had a good one :-) I got really sunburnt!!!

There's some controversy over the date of Australia Day, because the 26th January 1788 was when the First Fleet arrived in Sydney Cove. And many Aboriginal people see it as a commemoration of the day that Europeans destroyed their way of life. So some call it "Invasion Day". There have been talks about changing Australia Day to another day. Some have a problem with that, I don't

[popparoc46]

It is an interesting story, that about the First Fleet and the "invasion" of the British and Europeans! The Hawaiians tore James Cook into little pieces!

I hope your sunburn isn't too painful! - roc

[Sikosm]

The burns have calmed down quite a bit. I'm quite tanned, but not sore anymore! Wow, we have been having a heatwave! Yesterday it was 42 degrees in adelaide, and today it got up to 44!!! i'm sweltering in 37 degrees right now and it is 10pm!!!!

[popparoc46]

That is HOT, Stasi!

[WackaDoodleFreeZone]

That little red box is very nice. I hear you when you talk about taking your grandchildren shopping. I just have such a hard time taking my older two children shopping. Their style and taste are just not tasteful to me. I am always trying to explain to my daughter about why I cant stand some of the rapp music she listens to because of they way the speak of women in the lyrics. Her response was 'mom, it is about the beat, not the words.' Im old I guess. Nice to see you again. Take care

[popparoc46]

I have said the same thing to my grandson! He has answered me in the same way as your daughter! We had a discussion about how to treat women... now (to avoid further discussions) he agrees with me!! - BUT he still likes the music! - roc

[MiSSTiquE]

I love your videos. It makes me want to start making videos again.

[popparoc46]

MISS!!! Are you back??? How nice to see you! I have been missing you! Yes, you should start back with a video or two! How is your Mom? - roc

[mysteryglo]

This is about the funniest and best video I have seen in some time! I about died at the look on your face when you saw your bra straps were showing when you took off your jacket. LOL I never laughed so hard. (sorry) Little cake box is cute! Yay for the restriction on gaming and "rude" T-shirts! Your "hairs" are just fine but I understand your distress over it. I have been having problems with mine lately too. :( Just won't do what I want it to...

[popparoc46]

I was funny?? ha ha ha! Yeah, black bra straps! I hope it made Beth chuckle! My granddaughter is still a bit annoyed with me, but I'm not worried. She is 15. She hates everyone and everything - except her group. Very normal, I think.

- roc

[ausloz391]

Aussie Aussie Aussie! Oi Oi Oi!

thanks roc! it was a great day.

nothing like a true blue aussie bbq and drinks with ur mates.

have a good one xx

[popparoc46]

I could go for a real Aussie bbq right about now!! - roc

[popparoc46]

Ooooooh, it took courage to show the arms! I NEVER do that! Love your expression - yup, I Bethed my bra straps!

-roc

[IAGuy06]

Your "hairs" look fine my dear.

I must say you looked very energetic in this one (more than usual)... I think it was the hairs... not weighing you down. :)

(am with you on the video games and such)

[popparoc46]

heh heh heh - the hairs weighing me down!!! I will have to remember that for my next weigh in with Michael. If I'm not at a goal, I can blame my pouffy hairs! - roc

[Ultimatecruegirl]

I understand how you feel about your hair Roc. Doesn't mater if others think it looks good it's how you feel wearing it. I used to feel the same way everytime I got a perm. I no longer get perms, but you don't really have that choice with a cut. I wonder if I could tell my 11 yr old we are not donting any more money towards gaming? Stupid us for buying the darn things in the first place. Although I have to say the Wii fit is fun.

[popparoc46]

Yes, I regret introducing my grandson to my Game Boy all those years ago. He was hooked at the first peep on Pac Man. Now he is addicted and it is all that really interests him. It's a problem! (or, at least I think it is!) Yeah, I am glad the "perm" years are done!!! For sure! -roc

[nancyleeould]

Today is the Chinese New Year roc.

I love you hair.

Ahahahaaa!!! The bra straps!!

Did I mention I love your hair?

Your a wonderful Grandma.

[popparoc46]

Happy Chinese New year, Nancy! Anyone who turns 60 in the Year of the Ox is supposed to receive a gift every day! Did you know that? - roc

[debbiez112]

You are so clever with your black bra staps showing and those hard earned clavicles. How could anyone notice your hair? teee heeee

I am sure you will like your hair a lot better in 3 weeks. It really looks fine but I know how it feels when you don't like how your hair looks.

[popparoc46]

Can you imagine?? A black bra under a light top! Scandalous! I knew it would distract everyone from my hairs!  - roc

[killaka8894]

Your hair looks fine. Stop fussing over it.

[capergirl1976]

Life gets busy sometimes no matter who it is....I myself on a side note caught up on all your vids from the wk before just didn't bog down your inbox with comments.

Nope I didn't know it was Australia Day..I knew it was Chinese New Year tho and that is a beautiful dragon cross stitch. I love the box. You absolutely have the right to choose where your money goes. Somehow I bet your a nanna who makes her point very well. I won't say your hairs are fine even tho they are. We miss you. : )

[popparoc46]

I will try to be more consistent, Alesha! With exercise, preparing better meals, grocery shopping, and other stupid stuff, I just don't know where the time goes. But, I am collecting stories to tell you! I just might stitch this dragon. It is kind of cool! -roc

[Sikosm]

Hi there - yeah it was Chinese New Year on the 26th as well. It is something like the first time since 1933 (i *think*) since both holidays fell on the same day :-)

So it was a good day for all the Chinese immigrants who became Australian citizens on Australia Day!!

[capergirl1976]

hey there Sikosm...cool little piece of trivia there. I also didn't know was 33 yrs since they fell on the same day. Learn something new everyday here on YT. : )

[Sikosm]

not exactly sure if it was 1933 but it was something like that. :-)

[buglady58]

if your grandchildren were sneaky, they'd buy t-shirts when you were with them, then return them later & get the games they want!! i hate it when they screw up my hair. last time i told him to leave it long on my ears because they were cold. he didn't take much off anywhere & it already (3 weeks later) looks like a shaggy mess. UGH ;)

[popparoc46]

Ack! I didn't think of that sneaky trick, Gail, but (haHAH!) I kept the bills! Hair is an ongoing problem. It would be nice if you could zap it when it is perfect and scare it out of growing for a year. Let's invent it together and make our fortune... ! - roc

[Luvbeags]

Oooh, I love the dragon cross stitch.

Why do they keep messing up your hair.

I think it looks fine, but if you said leave the back they messed up, because it looks like they shaved it off. :(

I have to vlog this week. I had to do shopping too IT SUCKED. At least I wasn't looking for gaming stuff though LOL

There is a Tee Shirt I really want. It says DON'T MAKE ME COME DOWN THERE-- God

LOL. I really want that shirt :)

Don't fret about your hair, because you have clavicles. :)

[popparoc46]

Tell us about the shopping experience! I love to hear about the shopping experiences! Yes, that is a cool T-shirt! Very cool!

And, yes, the beast with the scissors did shave the back. I was very pissed off! - roc

[JeepGirl2]

Ooo, pretty little red box! Cool! Cake in a box! How can you be afraid of a little cake in a box?

Give it here....I'll eat it! LOL

Yes, I see! *giggle* FLASHER!

No, no rude t-shirts please. That's why I like the Life is Good t-shirts so much. Positive and fun.

[popparoc46]

Exactly! POsitive and fun. My granddaughter is in her "mean" phase, Joyce! - roc

[imperceptibleme]

Hahaha Roc, I knew you were trying not to laugh when you took off your jacket! hehe. So good to see you Roc, we miss you too when you aren't here. Hugs

[popparoc46]

I tried hard not to laugh, but when I caught sight of the black strap, I nearly lost it! Too bad it wasn't one of Beth's pretty purple straps! - roc

[nazr14]

Oh lordy lordy, Roc's flashing her bra straps at us. ;-)

[popparoc46]

Scandalous, huh, Dan?? - roc

[anthwhite91]

Kung hey fat choy!

[popparoc46]

Exactly! - roc

[GoretexRobo]

who are you to say I cant order a bra off the internet?

[popparoc46]

You just can't.

[GoretexRobo]

your hairs LOL black bra serial killer!compound sentence? oh gosh.well where the hell where you?do tell

[popparoc46]

I'll tell more ... I cannot fathom making more than one video in a day Bryan. You should give me lessons!

[2TheLeftOfNoWhere]

I didn't notice any bra straps. I was stricken with clavicle blindness. It's like snow blindness. Once you see them you can't see anything else for a while until your eyes recover from the clavicle overload.

[popparoc46]

Heh heh heh - I KNEW the clavicles would get you, Dave! Did you notice the lilac top with the little tasteful lace trim?

[2TheLeftOfNoWhere]

Remember me telling you about the doll my sister had where you pull the hair to make it longer? The amount of length different in your hair from the last time I saw it is less than a full click. You know what I'm going to say.  It looks beautiful.

[popparoc46]

I have spent the past week pulling on my hairs with the hope they will sprout a little quicker. I don't think it is working! Oh well. It is my bane in life, I guess. I should be thankful - it could be worse! - roc

[GoretexRobo]

my comment wont post so let me repete this do not take tone with me I am already in the sauce and its a monday.your hair s cute but is it a gay hair dresser?do you have his number?cause hunny from here I certanially do,

[popparoc46]

I lost my gay hair dresser. He quit me and went back to his prison guard lover. Can you believe that?? I have spent the last three months trying to recover but to no avail. Now, every hair cut reminds me of the brutal pain of loss.

[yeuxlumineuxNtx]

Hey hey hey Roc-star! I know you said not to mention it but I think your hair looks especially "muy mahvelous" dahlink :) Happy "Year of the Ox" baybeeeee Oh and try some of those bra strap thingies...I just received the ones I ordered from TV and darned if they don't work ;) xoxox

[popparoc46]

It is just so very trashy when your bra strap shows, huh, Shelly?? I will look into the strap thingies...

Yes, it is Year of the Ox. What is your year? - roc

[yeuxlumineuxNtx]

I was born in the Year of the Ssssnake...how fitting for someone who lives in TX eh? bwhahahahahaha Oh and sorry to hear about your hairdresser...I've been with mine for five years+ (I lovingly nicknamed her "Goddess of Tresses" he he) and I swear I'd be suicidal if we lost touch ;) Hang in there Kiddo...but IMHO your hair looks "hawt" as ever :)))

[popparoc46]

Ah! A Snake!  I am going to google and read about snakes...

[bohogirl1]

that top is very feminine and looks lovely on you. i think the boyish cut is perfect as well.

bring on the baking video!

[popparoc46]

I am putting the cookie video together, Bonnie and will likely post tomorrow or Wednesday. It is a bit "cut and paste", but what the heck... it's cookies!

I am getting used to my hair again and it doesn't scare me anymore when I pass a mirror! The top --- did you see --- it is LILAC! - roc

[bohogirl1]

i thought it was but then i wondered if it was just the light.

[popparoc46]

Lilac! I love that top but am not always brave enough to wear it. Michael has helped!

[SarafinaPrettyToes]

i didnt wait till the very end b4 i commented, then u said i am sure you will think my hair is fine.

i was watching as u turn ur head, she did a very nice hair cut, its just not what u wanted and i understand.

but to me u look great and i am sorry ur suffering over it ;]

[popparoc46]

I just wanted it longer or a bit shaggier at the back. I have a number of "issues" with my hair (it basically does what it wants) and if too much is cut off, I have two uncomfortable weeks. I am half way through!! - roc

[SarafinaPrettyToes]

bra stapssssssssssssss!!!!! and black ones hubba hubba!!

you look marvelous very snazy!

[popparoc46]

I wanted to laugh with the bra straps, but I didn't!! - roc

[RenaissanceMan929]

OH MY SWEET LORD!! Is right! Black bra straps and bare clavicles?!?! I didn't even notice if you had any hair ;) Internet porn from Canada is always the BEST :))

[popparoc46]

Ha ha ha ha ha HA HA HA! Your comment made me laugh/snort! - roc

[mymoosejaw]

Some place I have a program that turns photos into cross stitch patterns...

Cool cake thing.

[popparoc46]

Do you stitch, Dave? - roc

[mymoosejaw]

I used to - was in a news group for cross stitch for a while - I was the only one under 60 and the only men in there.

[popparoc46]

I started about 20 years ago and I find it very relaxing. I like it when the pattern is a bit complicated!

[mymoosejaw]

I used to - I don't now.

[thizizliz]

Wow, it's hard for me to imagine that you have grown grandkids. I'm about 10 years older than you are and mine is only 3. But I know that in a blink she'll be graduating college and heading out into the world. Amazing. Yeah, hair is like that - it's yours and if you don't like it, nothing anyone says can make you. I thought about you this weekend. I had an important meeting today and hubby asked if I wanted my hair cut. I just said no. :-)

[popparoc46]

What are you talking about - you are ten years older??? I bet that is NOT true! I think I have told the story about my grandchildren... I mean, why I have them, ... but maybe not. I will put it on the list of things to tell, Liz, and if I've already told the story, every one will forgive me 'cause I'm so old!!!

(ha ha ha !) - roc

[thizizliz]

Yeah, I am 56 for a few more months and have the idea that you are in your early to mid 40s. Am I off somehow? I'd love to hear about your grandkids - they are always a treat. Today was a red letter day for me - an email (the first she's ever sent ) from mine and a new job. Yay.

[silverscreamgrl]

Your granddaughter probably wanted the Boys Are Stupid, Throw Rocks at Them, right? My niece has it hahaha

So now you predict what we are going to say about the hair? I really do think that the hairs are very nice.

Bryan was missing this weekend. Did you two spend quality time together?

[popparoc46]

That is exactly the t-shirt she wanted Beth! And the other was "good girl gone bad" I wouldn't pay for either! She pouted for five minutes, but it didn't work! The hairs are too short, but I am living with it. When it isn't so painful, I will tell the hair cut story. How did you know I was with Bryan? We met in Ohio. - roc

[Ranblv]

I think you lost the right to preach to beth about bra straps LOL

[silverscreamgrl]

HAHAHAHA I actually gave her tips on how to make sure they were readily viewable ;) See her front page

[popparoc46]

See the trouble you cause??

[popparoc46]

ha ha ha!!! She gave me lessons, Ran! Under normal circumstances, I'd never wear a black bra under a light coloured top!!! - roc

[MissTruly]

You're back and I love it! When I see your videos, I go straight for them because they are like little gems sparkling, attracting my attention above others... All work stops. Must listen! LOL

[popparoc46]

That is a great thing to say, Jenny! Makes me want to make another video! Thanks! -roc

[tweetnes]

I believe the cake is from Japan..I looked it up on the internet. 1st i looked for china but no..then japan an there they were. They do them for wedding. They do very fancy stuff. But you know i could be wrong Hmmm! What me wrong!

Your hairs look very nice. Good thing our hair grows back. i hate getting my hairs cut! i wait oh 4-5 months :)

you stick to your guns :)

[popparoc46]

You are right - good thing it DOES grow! I will google the cakes as well to see! -roc

[GoretexRobo]

yes you have been away do you have a arkansas quarter?

[silverscreamgrl]

Yes, I sent it to her ;)

just kidding.

You were missing this weekend too. I think you two had a tryst.

[popparoc46]

Who told you of our tryst? Rita stayed home.

[popparoc46]

No. No Arkansas quarter! ... You could send me one, if you like... Don't forget... two stamps!

(I'm teasing, Bryan. No need to send!)

- roc

[shadow6326]

Roc!! Wow! I like your little cake container! Very cute!! It really wasn't so bad to eat..but because I kept it for a few days before eating it was slightly dry..:)

I love your new hair cut..it is cute..:)

My name is Eva..long "E"..lol

Lots of company..I like company..:)

Happy Australia Day!!

Good to see you Roc!

Have a great day!!

[popparoc46]

Thanks for telling me about your name, Eva. I had a friend in England with the same name, but pronounced with the short 'e' sound. I am slowly getting used to my hair!! Glad you enjoyed the cake and its box! - roc

[MaryJaneSlingBacks]

I know how you suffer. I feel the same way about my hair. You put your money where you choose. I have encourage my mother-in-law not to give money for things she does not approve of either.

[popparoc46]

My grandson spends hours with gaming. And I don't approve! But, he was happy with his shopping! -roc

[NewBoi1980]

You're a mean grandma, but they're the best. =)

Why don't you just shave your head? No more problem! ;P

[popparoc46]

Yeah, my grandson still likes me. I have seriously considered shaving... It would be cold right now, though! - roc

[thizizliz]

I'd knit you a purple hat.

[YTsHaDoWkNiGhT]

Keep the straps hidden. No need to emulate you know who, hehe.

As for the hair it's all dandy!! There, I said it.

[popparoc46]

'You know who' taught me that, Norman! - roc
