Had meant to respond to this earlier, Opanel, but worried I'd write a less than satisfactory response in my state then. I'm sorry that I didn't think through my words and used a horrible disease to make a point about something that I had been frustrated about (the lack of social distancing of others around me). You're right that it was poorly thought out and offensive. I am ashamed I made such a joke with a disease that's caused a lot of pain for others..
My words right now probably won't do justice to the offense and hurt I may have caused. But I deeply regret them (no excuses - I was thoughtless) and am sorry, Opanel!! (((((((HUG)))))))

You don't have to be professionally groomed to be clean and presentable.
CQ, it had been 13 WEEKS since I last had my grey/white/S&P hair trimmed up, and it was really getting the best of me. It just felt SOOooooo unkempt!! So, I checked out a few Youtube places for cutting old ladies' grey hair in layers, and just cut it myself a few days after Easter!! And I am SOOOooooo surprised!! It actually came out very decent!! There are several boo-boos in there, and it took 2 or 3 extra snip-snips here and there over a couple of days to fix some areas, but I am SOOOO pleased with how it came out!!! Not that I would continue to do it, because there ARE some places that aren't quite right. But I'm the ONLY one who knows where they are, because being in layers, it's easy to hide the mistakes!!! It was somewhat scary and challenging, and took over an hour, but once I got past that first cut, there was no turning back!! So now I'm all set till I can get to the hairdressers!@CoffeeQueen wrote:

Actually, some people will not. For these people, the hair and nail services are indispensable. Essential! Long live the pros who do what we cannot do!

a.) hair cutting is definitely a skill!
b.) not sure I'd call it "essential," but possibly for like a news anchor or someone in a high level business environment, I could see that person calling it essential
Trump probably thinks its essential for his hair.

Think about it. Every single commercial starts with piano sounds and then a soft voice starts in with some easy looking still shots. I was in Ace Hardware yesterday and they even had their own piano sounds and a voice over saying how we're all in this together...Drives me nuts!

Not in Sweden they did it differently than we did. They stayed open and percapita deaths are lower than ours So yeah we are all in this together but did we have to be?

You can click on the columns to see who has tbe highest per capita rates--Belgium has been the worst for weeks, without much discussion in the media.
