Good morning!!!!

What are these "haircuts" of which you guys speak?

The "Big City" for us in any direction is 23 miles away. Our town has ~900 residents. Around here $16 for a haircut is a bargain. I only get sheared 4 - 5 times annually.

PJS- Nice ponytail in you avatar. I used to have one in the 60's - 70's. I cut it off when I started working in the "back wards" of the secure state psychiatric hospital.:wink: I'd look more like Benjamin Franklin if I grew one now.

I only get sheared 4 - 5 times annually.

If I go more than a week, it's just too uncomfortable; maybe I could get accustomed to it, but I doubt it.

Hair cuts for seniors at the local lounge. Are $15. I have a full head of hair that requires attention every 6 to 8 weeks. But push it out to 3 to 4 months. By then wife is making comments about Bozo should get a hair cut. Only consolation about going to get a hair cut is all the barbers are good looking young ladies.
Wife got a bill from dentist today. It was over $600. We have insurance. I’ll stick to 3 or 4 hair cuts a year.

Usta be I could get by with just dropping by the barber once a month and letting him have at the hair on my head.

These days, I have to get out the trimmers for the hair in my ears, eyebrows, and nose a couple times a month, and I can go two months before the stuff on my head needs attention...:confused2:

In it's heyday, the girl who used to cut my hair always tried to get me to come in every 6 weeks, to stay ahead of split ends. In reality, it was more like somewhere between 3 and 6 months. I had her cut it all off back in 1990 for a job ... about 3 feet worth. If I tilted my head back, I could sit on my hair. It was great hair, too. Healthy, shiny, thick, straight when I blow dried it, and curly when I didn't. Chicks loved it. After I cut it off, it was short for about three years before I started letting it grow again. Never was the same after that. Now, it just does whatever it wants most of the time, and it doesn't grow nearly as fast as it did when I was younger. It also damages easier, so I have to trim it more often.

Like RNG, my hair seems to have found other outlets as well. The stuff on my head appears to be sliding off the back, as my forehead is much taller than it used to be. Wife threatens me every once in awhile that if I ever start to look like Gallagher (the comedian), she's going to scalp me while I'm sleeping.

I have not seen any turkeys here since Fall.

4 Toms just showed up at the bird feeders. The beards were between 4" and one was ~10" maybe longer.

Last year we had a steady flock of 43 hens and jakes and a separate flock of 8 toms until "Spring" :wink:

The most we ever counted at one time were 91 (hens/jakes) who trooped up our driveway in single file. Wifey did the counting; I become "counting challenged" around 22 or 23. :embarrassed:

I too am finding hair sprouting where it did not use to sprout. I can relate to the RNG experience.

I am not a slave to personal grooming nor fashion, but when the wife starts the "peanut gallery" talk. I get it cut.


I was going to this "Beautiful People" Boutique place for awhile. I do not know why I was allowed entrance. One would get a non-alcoholic beverage of choice and a cookie in the waiting room. Before they started cutting one would sit in one of those reclining massaging chairs and get a wash and a scalp massage. Eye candy was everywhere; the stylists and the patrons. Too bad I had to remove my glasses It was a "little more" expensive than $16.

Im behind reading. Will catch up later.

Our local sheetz also rebuilt bigger, added food drivethru and car wash.
Rumor of a rutters gas station going in got the town up in arms, they dont want it but said nothing about the sheetz expansion. Makes no sense.

Looking at a verizon only cell phone repeater for the house. $135 on amazon. The Wilson one that does all LTE bands is $400. It would help my at&t mobley signal also..
