We're still working on a plan, but so far it involves being sent to prison and becoming somebody's bitch.

Thrive to spite them

I would love that David. I just a teleporter to get there from SC. I'd bring parsley for the piggies.

There is other stuff frustrating me and I just feel I've only had time to go tower and home and then do errands or chores on my days off. I requested a Sat off so we could go do something and it's raining. But Matthew took me to lunch in downtown Greenville and I also asked for Nov 2 off and the minor league hockey team here has a home game that night so I'm going to get some cheap tickets and have a date night

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Come over to my house, askye. You can sit on the back porch and have a glass of wine while I cut your hair exactly as you prefer.

But are you a zombie?

Herding cats for fun

I've been wanting to crop my locks for awhile, but now that I know about zombie hairdressing, nothing else will satisfy.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

askye, do you have a beauty college nearby? The past couple of times I've gone to one really close to my house and paid $11 for a haircut. Nothing complicated, and the second time it took like 2 hours, which is nuts, but it was still $11.

I second this advice. There used to be a beauty school in our neighborhood, and I would occasionally go there to get my hair dyed when I didn't want to deal with contorting my arms to evenly apply the color at the back of my head.

I am not a zombie myself, but I do serve the local zombie community.

They don't mind if they lose a little ear when I'm trimming.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I went to someone new at my usual place who said something similar, suggesting that it was my cowlick's fault that she couldn't get the back right. (I'm 52. People have managed to cope with that cowlick for decades now.) Next week's appointment is definitely not with her.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'm wondering whether going to an actual barbershop might be a better choice?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Mr. S would not go to sleep until well past his bedtime, and then woke up early and was acting out all morning. The afternoon was a little better, as we went to a Pumpkin Festival at a local orchard where he could run around, climb on stuff and play on a bounce pad.(Basically a bounce house base.)

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Katie, do you still have your ponytail? You have the most gorgeous hair! (I've always been a little jealous) Mine has finally--finally! started to fade to grey a little. I'm ready to strip it to white, ITYW. But how trite would dark roots be?

EM decided to do this and it was a big mistake. If your hair is still holding on to color it will be loath to let it go, and you'll have to double strip your hair to get it to white. At which point it will be fried.
