I’ve met more than my fair share of celebrities. Yet I always longed to meet Dolly. Never did. Her talent is only exceeded by her kindness. May we remember her music and continue to share books with children. You’re an angel Dolly. #rip ... See MoreSee Less
Same, and I just landed near Dollywood. She will be missed. I watched 9 to 5 as soon as I was allowed...maybe 9 years old? Anyhow, Loved it! The girls get revenge for being treated badly in the workplace....loved it. I still highly recommend it.
She truly was the best of the best. Her talent was secondary to her philanthropy. I think she missed the love of her life, Karl.

"The bigger the hair, the closer to God." -Dolly Parton, Rest in Peace~
She is an angel. She did so much for others.
One of my faves. She’s an angel now for sure!
Agree🙏Rest with God, beautiful soul
I am sure David Highfield is extremely sad right now, I have been thinking about him since I heard the news.
Beautiful woman, beautiful human being! ♥️
Her kindness inspires us all 💖I will miss Dolly Parton so much. I loved her music, movies, and her. May she R.I.P 💔😢
She gave us decades of glorious music and uncountable acts of kindness. May her memory be eternally blessed. Rest in Peace, Dolly 🦋💕
She was definitely one of a kind and so very generous. It’s a very sad day for sure and dearly loved by so many. 😢😢😢🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️❤️❤️
I thought she would last forever she had so much energy
She will be forever remembered by her Beauty & Kindness 🙏
😇
❤️
'Jolene' is a favorite.
Well said.
Rest in peace

Some folks have many opinions. #hair #weight #exercise ... See MoreSee Less
If you think your face looks long, you should try bangs.
Some people’s children ! You’re looking great! Don’t do anything permanent to your hair besides color. If you want different then play with combs, styles, parts, etc. My go to is pull mine up in pony tail high, then push it up and place a comb. It gives me instant height and is different. Also scrunch it with gel for some curl with a side part. I’m low maintenance all the way
I say wear your hair the way you like it . If you like something it will make you feel better , you might get a haircut that they think you need , but if you dont like it you’ll react that way . Do you let them get their hair cut the way they want . ( by the way I’ve been a hairdresser for 50 plus years i do what people want me to do , unless i know they will regret it )
I agree to live your own life. I listen to myself because I have 3 sons and a husband that all have opinions. BTW the chlorine in the pool may give you a new shade!
Not gray!!! SILVER!
I just came to the comments to see how much everyone will disagree on what’s best for you. 😉 You do you. I understand with media you don’t want to go grey yet. You dress beautifully.
Try ChatGPT with a facial photo and it will show you what looks good for you. It’s Hairstyle Analysis
Girl, your hairdresser probably wanted to make sure color coverage met her satisfaction and hair would need to be dry. However, I totally get it. Been there, done it. As far as opinions - they are just that, opinions - baaaahaha. Thankful for the recent appraisals from video call! Everyone should utilize this opportunity!!! Go swim now🤣
Do NOT get your hair wet if you’re going in a chlorine pool. The chlorine will strip your color.
Your hair always looks great. Don’t you just love when people just have to give you their opinions!🤷♀️
As a cosmetologist myself this is what I would suggest. First off with your skin tone and eye color you fall into the seasonal analysis of the Autumn season colors. So I think your hair color needs to be warm tones. Sure, brown works but to add a little red auburn would be spot on. You could do a little bang of some sorts to face frame and bring out attention to your big beautiful eyes. And keep your makeup colors compatible with the autumn season colors. You can look up more details for added tips. Love you, and your professionalism. ❤️💪😍
I have been coloring my hair since I was 14. People are always going to have an opinion. Some might be helpful some just don't like their own look. Did I hear you slip and say dating? If so, so happy for you!
Do what YOU want. Im 60 and been coloring for decades and have decided to just stop. I am who I am.
People who are critical of others often should start with the bathroom mirror. You’re beautiful no matter the weight, lack there of, or gray hair vs dyed hair. You’ve zero shame!
Put a cap on in the pool!!
You shouldn’t expose new hair color to chlorine. I hope your hairdresser told you that.
I’m 65 and my mother is 88 and we both still color our hair. In my opinion gray hair makes you look 10 years older. If someone would rather look older, don’t color your hair. Nothing wrong with coloring your hair. We should all do what we prefer.
I just got tired of touching up all the time! Then my husband left me and I decided that I didn't want to any more. I did a heavy frosting to blur the color line and let it grow.
Seriously? What the hell does that person look like? Love your hair cut!
Nobody's business
Just be you! There must be a stylist that's wants a free valuation..... take advantage of that ! Your beautiful and stop reading all I know better ....with no thoughts or ideas ..... ask the chick's at the Pittsburg tv station to give u a free makeover all you do for them ....ppl would luv it !!! And you deserve it girl ! Then pay it forward ! You are fabulous enjoy your weekend
i’m making dogs hair look good today haha. i usually don’t groom on fridays but i have an out of towner that had to drive up here after a half day of work. so here i am. get to go do some creative projects after this though, yay!
I like your hair. If you need a change pull it up in the back sometime. Your color you had put in looks nice. I was a hair stylist for 30 years in my own shop. My hair is white now and I let it get long and it is fun to have it up and then when you went it down you can. You are not stuck with one hair do every day after day. Your face is not that long.
After is the one!!
Your hair looks fine. Dr. Lori is a strong swimmer

Do you feel safe? Too stupid. ... See MoreSee Less
Rediculous! Most folks hold no responsibility or are accountable for their jobs these days. Also, dealing with doctor's office and radiologist offices - can't get to a human. Can't talk to the doctor! Absolutely infuriating!!! 🙁
I wouldn’t have it.
We bought this last week. It has kale in it no lettuce and it was good
I would not be able to take that. On side note, I love that salad, but haven’t eaten any since the “scare.”
I wouldn’t touch it. The only lettuce I would eat is out of our garden
I can see a lot of workers compensation claims for hearing damage happening. Fun fact I've never been to a Costco.
I’d be out of there in a hurry!!
I couldn’t do any shopping. Would get a headache!
Msybe they need to change the battery.
Is it a dont buy lettuce alarm?
not yet.
I can't believe they let that alarm go 3 weeks, let me see the manager and then/or facilities maintenance person, doesn't make sense radar is going off.
I’m done with lettuce for a while!
They should keep calling the fire dept. Shouldn’t be working with that going on.
It would be fair to identify WHICH COSTCO? (no r)
I could not stand it and would probably trigger a migraine! I would have left immediately‼️‼️ pretty sad that no one knows why OR gives a 💩 to do anything, what message is this sending Dr. Lori?
I was in Costco this afternoon i saw this to buy our Costco in Cranberry wasn’t going off
That’s ridiculous. Bring in the professionals!
I wouldn't be able to shop! They are probably losing a lot of money by people walking out!
Maybe if nobody went shopping there because of the annoyance-they'd figure out how to shut it off. The poor workers!
I feel sorry for the employees
3 weeks is ridiculous
The picture of salad and your caption is misleading...."Do you feel safe" means something totally different with the latest lettuce mess....
