when DIY goes wrong
some things should be left to a pro.
case in point.
looking in the mirror this morning i decided that i was getting a little shaggy.
me- hey honey, cmere and trim my hair. heres the electric clippers.
her- um ...ok.. BUZZBUZZBUZZZ
me- hows it look?
her- remember you love me!
me- gimmie a mirror!
her-you have to say that you will still love me.
me- dont worry i will always love you.
i look like an escapee from devils island with the mange!a hot rod is whatever i decide it is.

And you're "man" enough to post it on the internet! I'm impressed... Is she still talking to you?
Or did she say here's you're Valentines Day gift?!?!

Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

That's what I do...one haircut a year...over the winter months it sure beats wearing a woolly hat! Originally Posted by shine

I hear you Dave. Last hair cut infor me was before I got married 11 years ago (not that it matters much with what I have left).I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....

Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
