Wait, you can refuse to pay rent and mortgage payments. Why can't you do the same thing with haircuts?

Yes$#@!  That started two weekends ago, I was like WTF, that wasn’t nearly as hard.  Thanks for pointing out a mechanism to provide feedback, which will be to tell them that I am not happy about their service for the zero point zero dollars I pay.    

On a related note, I started doing cryptic puzzles from the WSJ at the same time.  One of my (loose) new year resolutions is to challenge my brain more, and I’ve always just punted them because I didn’t get how to solve them.  Still don’t really, but that is the brain challenging part.

I've flirted with cryptics in the past, they're fun.  What are they, like once a week or less in the WSJ?  I'll check them out too.

I used to get a haircut every month, but I've had 1 haircut in the past YEAR.  I look like a hockey player - got a curly mullet.  

Since it's grown, I've been getting carded buying beer.  I'm 48.

I'm good and shave my head besides use to be a certified hair stylists in PA. I know how to cut hair if needed.

[BeenHereBefore 1,469]

Cutting hair is easy and most could probably learn it in a few days. Maybe be good at it in a few weeks if they have live people to practice on. Men's hair cuts are the ease and mostly clippers for the last 15 years.

[BeenHereBefore 1,469]

There is no money in it unless you live in a big city and why I let me license run out. You can get a lot of puss doing it though.

[BeenHereBefore 1,469]

Chics love straight guys that know how to do hair. Had this one chick a 8 probably 34 C that whisper in my ear that her boyfriend won't F her anymore. I wasn't single at the time but would have love to take her for a ride. My answer to her was sorry to hear that! Bet she want's me till this day cause I blew her off and just how they are.

Sorry for Hijacking the post and by all means proceed.

Monthly.  Every Saturday the WSJ has a puzzle in addition to a crossword:  they vary including acrostic, rows garden, marching bands, etc.  I’ve always enjoyed them all except for the cryptics, which seem to be on a regular monthly schedule.  Search “cryptic puzzle” on the WSJ site and you’ll see them for the past year or so.

Skids, is it just me or is Newsday no longer free?  This is what I get now, and I can no longer "X" it out.

Oof, I just tried and got the same thing.  It worked fine for me this past Sunday.  I might have to pay that $1.

Yup, it just started this week.  I gave it a few days before panicking but this might be for good.

friend's dog grooming shop reopened this monday, they are only allowed to operate at 50%.

aparently there is already a month long wait.

Oh no!!

[wiffleball 4,788]

As the world regains normalcy, so will the markets. But I have to believe places like barber shops and movie theaters will never be the same.

Have not got my hair cut since May.  I can almost tie it into a manbun 

[Cdub100 3,843]

I cut my own hair.
