WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 21st.

The 254th day that CPT Patti has been "over there."

Today's posts are sponsored by the Rapid German Study Foundation...saving you time by letting you know what you don't need to know.

Today's phrase not worth learning refers to hair color for women.

Women's hair color kits in Germany come in every shade from traffic cone orange to plum puple. It may save you time to learn that and not waste time with the following phrase:

Gibt es etwas natürlich vorhandene Farben?

Or, in English, "Do you have any colors that appear naturally in nature?"

Silly girl. Anyone can be born with blonde, ash or chestnut hair. But hair in a color that isn't even named yet by Crayola, ah...that is the prize.

No...we don't. Go away.

Save yourself the time...get your hair color right before you fly over here.
