For many years I had the same stylist. She once moved to another salon and I followed her. Only 2 times in all those years did I sit with a different stylist... 'happy scissors' and the Latina with the Brazilian but lift. Moving 45 miles north wasn't trouble as I scheduled my haircuts when I had business in Miami.
COVID comes around, businesses were closed under lock-down. Nearly 14 months have passed and haircuts were local. My spouse has more than 20 years cutting hair for her son. While I didn't complain, I lost my original style. I don't follow fashion and patiently waited for the right time.
We had shopping in Miami yesterday and my stylist was working. the timing worked out and it was a happy reunion. I know she and her boyfriend struggled for a few months, but they were able to hold it together.
I got my style back and she got a $20 tip.

The best part of going to the salon is the news that none of the stylists had COVID.

...for TV, I use a Yagi UHF/VHF. FM antenna, with rotator, at tree top, and since the girls have been out on their own, don't have satellite or cable. So the kiddos talked me into getting a Roku stick, effectively turning this 10 year old flat screen TV, to a Mensa TV.
Easy to see why the cable/satellite TV companies are panicking, and sending out all sorts of mail special offers, if one signs up for several years, and contributes a pound of flesh. I'm SO impressed with this new technology in my life. Sure, the newest items such as first run movies can be had at a price. But all sorts of domestic and foreign offerings are free. The variety is large.
Mostly watch documentaries, and classic/foreign films. Just saw one by Werner Herzog on Russians living in the back woods of the Taiga, with near total self sufficiency, and few modern conveniences. Hunters, trappers and victory gardeners, during the two months of summer.
Gratitude, wisdom and perspective. The film is appropriately called, the Happy People of the Taiga.
And here I thought my lifestyles have always been mostly self sufficient. Worth viewing.

i came across a tv show called judge judy ,,,well what can i say ..i can say this absolutely shocking that the tax payers money is being abused by people on welfare ,social security ,and the likes ,,
these payments are supposedly there to help people out in hard times ,all well and good ,but and a big but at that ,,is that the system is totally flawed and more so abused ,by greed, laziness, freeloaders , and every scumbag that wishes to abuse tax payers hard earned money, these people are virtually living rent free or paying very little as that is also subsidised ,,surely it is time for the people dishing out this money to wake up to the abuse that is going on ,,
maybe a solution would be to put a bounty on the heads of these freeloaders ,
like twenty percent of the money saved by turning these scumbags in,
the genuine people on benefits would have no worries ,,just sort out the freeloaders who are sitting back laughing at the system and more so at the hard working tax payer who is footing the bill for their easy life style,
surely there must be a way of getting these lazy no good layabouts to do some work in the local community to justify the help that they receive ,,,,
and don,t even get me started on the ones abusing the disability payments ,,,,,grrrrr it makes a tax payers blood boil ,,,,,,

There are 3 entrances to my community, 2 main ones with a guardhouse and one private gate (no guard) that requires a resident sticker I.D. for access. The private gate is closest to my travels so I use it most often. Like a mini border checkpoint, there are two arms spaced only for a single car. The scanner detects a car and the first arm lifts allowing you to drive in. It drops and the second one opens. Behind all that is a security gate that opens as the first arm rises. Usually it's fully opened as the second arm rises. If not, you have to wait a second or two to proceed into the intersection of a 3-way stop.
The problem is cars on one side wanting to exit ignore the stop sign and charge into the intersection. With the gate open, my vision is blocked. I can see the stop sign but not the approaching cars.
To avoid a collision, I have to crawl into the intersection to allow ample time to stop when someone runs the stop sign.
My association president told me that gate handles more traffic than the other two combined. I'm thinking to compose a letter asking them to put a second stop sign and possibly a flashing light similar to the non-resident access on the other side of the community.
That would keep those who are Octagonally Impaired on alert!



Yeah, I know Octagonally isn't in the dictionary.

I was on my pedal bike one day when I got behind a really slow driver in a Chevette. I took it in my head that I was going to pass him so I cranked on the pedals, hauled out around him on the blind turn and got side by side with him, looked over, stuck my tongue out at him, looked ahead just in time to see this car locking up its brakes as I smashed into the bumper. I scraped myself up, got on the bike and tore off up the road as fast as I could hoping mom and dad wouldn't find out I nearly got myself killed.

The most and the best uranium deposits this side of the "US", ask hARRY rEID and his lawyer son.
Now this is where the sell off goes to Russia under bARRY"O" and the cLINTONS of 25 % of the US reserves.

The snoring duo made a guest appearance at my house last night and I'm thinking we could perfect this and take the show on the road.
Actually, I'm thinking of a trip to Ohio to visit my brother. The only thing holding me back is the temperature there was 33 degrees.

I try to keep the kibble cat food in the woodshed to the point of nothing left to lay around for the night. Altho day can still be an issue. Like the other afternoon when I look and there is a coon sitting in the satellite dish I use sideways for bird feeder. And it is happily chowing down seeds. Of course by the time I get around the back way with rifle..long gone.
Then one night, go out to put wood on and there is an opossum eating kibble next to the cats. The week prior I shot one in the barn. Was able to shoot this one too. Deep snow out back so just toss out behind shed til thaw. Go out another night, there is another blasted possum. Shot that one, tossed into snow too.
Look out a couple days later and the last one if half eaten. Went out and tried to determine tracks. 4 toes, no 5, 4? Claws so not cat. Coyote, nah, would have hauled away. Fox?
That possum is all gone and something dug the older one out of the snow. My guy has idea...set up trail camera. Oh..yeah! Duh. And there when I looked thenext day were two coons.
I have learned that basically nothing eats possum except Southerners. And the way to prepare is to cage and feed clean food for a week since a possum eats anything, rotted, dead of any disease and more.
I also have grown up thinking of coons as a clean animal. Eats mice, chickens, eggs, fruit, veggies. Washes it food when available. Bread not tho.
But, dead possums? So researched it. They are scavengers, opportunists, omnivores. Eat anything. And to think I ate coon as a child. Tasty. Til mom refused to spend 2 hours making sure every bit of fat was off or it tainted the meat.
Set live trap. Apple and rotten egg. Both gone, trap not tripped. Blast those paws. So re-set with apple wired in a suet cage. Week and no coon. Nor sign of. Maybe smart and returned to river. But, soon snow will be gone and hens get to come out in daytime.
I know last coon was so big and smart, had to borrow trap from neighbor to catch. Bad part is cats around so can't bait with any food cats like. Did end up catching one lately before this episode. Boarder said he left her out when he did 5am wood fill. And it had sat in the shed for days with an apple. Dumb cat. They do learn tho to stay out after in once or twice.
I hate varmints!

If you are one of those who believes us living humans beings have souls, would that then mean living animals in general have souls?

We are given souls or it is said that our souls choose their host. Meaning, that our human form flesh and soul are two different entities.

It is said that when a loved one who has dyed visits you in a dream, that is them actually visiting you.

I have just heard where a pet owners pet who died had visited her.

Are we being ignorant or selfish to believe that us human animals are the only living forms that possess a soul?




Happy Friday all.

Perhaps you've had a recent break-up, or a terrible divorce.
Maybe you were robbed, or fired recently.
You might even have anger management problems.
Whatever is causing you to have pent up anger and frustrations,
you can now pay to smash things to attempt to get it out in..............
the 'Rage Room'.
This is not a joke. This is for real.

Like that's going to solve your problems.
But, you might have some fun
and it's certainly better than taking it out on your car, or big screen TV,
or childishly calling people derogatory names on a 'dating' site.
