The less you wash your hair? The better it gets. Brush it a couple of times a day, only wash when your head gets itchy, NO HAIRDRYERS for they are a tool of Satan. If your body is gross slap on a hair cap. Benign neglect is the way to go. Millions of years of evolution Vs. a few hundred years of random product? My hair is amazing because I basically ignore it. Doesn't break, few split ends, soft as hell. Long hair can be easy and awesome.

Wash it when it gets gross, the time between washing and getting gross will slowly increase. I feel like I should not be so proud of this #lifehack, but yeah my hair is amazing, I love it.

That was my philosophy too until my hair got past my shoulders. I also live in a really wet and windy area and spend a lot of time outside. Forget hairdryers doing damage it was getting whipped and lashed about anytime I went out. I was constantly pulling off my hairband and re-bunching up into a ponytail but it wasn't working - there were little tufts forming above my ears where it had been pulled out and started growing again.

It's just going to get greasier now that it's short.

This is so depressing. The white ash trees were cut down because of rot. Over twenty years ago my dad and I planted some saplings in the field behind them. I asked him how long it would take them to grow and he said "I won't see them, you won't see them, your children won't see them. Your grandchildren might." He was right, the tallest are only about 10 feet. Now they might have to be cut down too.

What is the deal with all you goons who have a regdate a decade or more older than mine but are all still several years younger than me? I've got nearly exactly 6 weeks left of my thirties. I've got to admit, I'm not panicking the same way about turning 40 the same way I was about turning 30.

Valko, I used my Mom's credit card to buy an account when I was 16. I had been lurking since 14. I've been a part of here for longer than I have been not.

I would have registered sometime around 2005 but I was the victim of credit card fraud so I cancelled it. Later there was a whole issue with paypal and donations for Hurricane Katrina relief so you couldn't register an account unless you used Visa or something similar. I have been here for quite some time too.

I would love to be able to wear things like this but I just can't. I'm one of those guys who just always looks a tad scruffy no matter how hard I try. It's like seeing footballers or MMA fighters wearing three piece suits - you look at me and know i just don't belong in it, "Where is his poo poo covered boots, and bleach stained t-shirt and jeans?" or "What's 'at farmhand doing looking like a valet?"

But I'm going to have to do it. I'm going to make an effort for my sisters wedding, which is just a week away.

Speaking of Irish musicians, more than once a stranger has asked me if I am Andrew Strong - back when I had long hair.





Andrew is bald now. I can play guitar but unfortunately I can't sing like him - still didn't stop drunken friendly strangers from asking me to belt out "Mustaaaaaang Sally!!!" Amazingly, he was only 16 years old when he starred in The Commitments.

Just rolled tobacco instead.

I mean we generally really like working structure fires, it's the most exciting part of the job. I don't like that people lose their stuff (or get hurt of course) but I like working fires. A good amount of runs are alarms and EMS stuff which includes everything from helping Meemaw get on the ambulance to wrestling with dudes high on synthetic weed.

This week I was settling up on time trades I owed, as well as worked OT and a 24 hour shift at another department I fill in at...though I'm probably gonna cut down on that because OT is getting offered so frequently.

Yeah, I get it. Every job has it's boring parts. It was great serving fancy cocktails to attractive young women on their hen nights but the mornings after weren't pretty when I had to put a plastic bag over my hand and pull ciggarette butts out of the urinals.

Well, at least you've got some nice company. I lived in a house with four other people (now 3) and every one of them caught covid except me. Maybe it's because I'm half a foot taller than everyone and not breathing the same air. Everyone was fine, we are all double vaxxed and boosted.
