But you don;t want that place to be six-feet under.

That's just temporary.  The soul is eternal, and I like to think that this one will be wearing heels forever.

Trying to figure out my next haircut....

Oh, my! I'd go with the Mork! Can't imagine you looking like Barry Gibb circa 1978 (top row left), ditto with a mullet or whatever the heck the one next to that is!  :giggle:

Easy fix...consider the "Telly Savalas" look.  (You youngster google Telly Savalas.)  Since I am follically deficient, I don't really have this problem.  

But my eye brows do need a trim, side effect of a drug, extra long eye brows and eye lashes.

I personally prefer the Yul Brynner look.

Seeing I haven't been to the barber shop since early March, I fear I'm gonna look like THIS guy before too long:

Got my haircut just before lunch today.  Didn’t worry much about style but more about weight it had been so long since I had it cut last.  

Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.

My son, who has a lot of hair, and genetically has a possibility of actually keeping it into old age, went for the Yul Brynner look. It grew out to normal looking within 3 weeks. My hair is actually almost behaving itself in its longer state. I might just keep it. Luckily, I'm not quite to the stage where I resemble Ben Franklin.

I don't have a "hair issue" as I do the same with my head as I do with my beard, but not as often. Every 3-4 days i use the same razor on my head as my face. I gave up on the concept of hair on my head a few years back and keep it clean and shiny.

This whole situation has been a good test of how self-sustainable we really are.  My wife cuts my hair, so I got it cut this morning.  

Having your wife do it is not really "self-sustainable".  Now if you did yourself, then I would agree. 

I have already done a minor hair trim on myself, but I need my eye brows cut/shaped. Last time was back in March days before it all closed, I saw it coming and went in about 2 weeks earlier than needed.  Now my brows are getting caught by my eye lashes and poking me in my eyes (it a side effect of needed eye drops). I freak out with scissors near my eyes, so I have them done whenever they start poking, about 4 to 5 times a year.  (I know, high maintenance, but worth it.)

While I can do a great pedi on myself, I rather have it done. Much easier. I can also do a okay manicure, but don't have the gel equipment, nor do I want to invest in it. Just waiting for my nail artist to come back. And then just wait in line to get an appointment.

If it were totally up to me I would have just grown my hair out or put it in a ponytail or braids years ago.  But she won’t let me do something that “girly”... go figure lol.

Well, the Philadelphia area came out of lockdown on a somewhat limited basis this past Friday, meaning retail stores could reopen. I wandered downtown on Saturday (non-jaunt) to see what was what, however, because of the riots here last weekend, practically nothing was open and EVERY storefront was boarded up. My god, I had never seen so much plywood in any one area in all my life. Bottom line, jaunting downtown looks to be a nonstarter for awhile. That leaves the malls I frequent, I'll travel to King of Prussia this coming weekend and see what's up there.

Virtual Jaunts @JeffB, virtual jaunts.  But now they will be practice since it's been awhile. Two three virtual jaunts and you'll be ready for when it opens more. Virtual Jaunts.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's further trouble this weekend, certainly the case in the UK. Virtual Jaunts of what you could have worn / are wearing are in order :)

Suppose I have been fortunate. My area is solidly conservative, and quite well armed to boot, so nothing is going to happen anywhere near me. I ran into a county sheriff  while waiting outside wingstop for lunch today. He hasn't seen anything to worry about. We had a normal conversation. Well, as normal as you can be while wearing a green striped blouse, grey slim fit trouser pants, and my black Jessica Simpson pumps...;-)

I have been to Paris today 

4 months I hadn’t. 
What a surprise!

No traffic, much less noise, much lees bad smell 

But the most noticeable is all people in shops,restaurants are so nice, helpful, polite. Everything we weren’t used to. 
It’s pity you foreigners can travel yet. You could forget our lengendary arrogance 

Please come and visit us as soon as you can before we fall back in our ways.

I have found that in our area, people are either way nicer than normal, or way nastier than normal. There seems to be no in between. I'm glad that Paris seems to have gotten the way nicer end of the spectrum!

Yes i did! 

And was a little bit worried to notice that my calves started to hurt after 45 minutes walk.Locked down wasn’t a good training. 

Before 2 hours were fine. Have to restart training!

CHrisPap,

One would think with my classic French surname that I would have made it to France a long time ago but it didn't happen until December of 2012. Had some business in London and took the train over and spent the entire day in Paris. From my Algerian taxi driver to various folks in restaurants and two fellows in a pricey shop where I tried on some heels just before closing I encountered nothing but friendly and engaging people. Don't know if it was a rare day or they just reacted well to French with a Quebecois accent to it. I have heard over the years of Parisians being arrogant or snooty because your French isn't like theirs or some such nonsense. I encountered none of that. As my taxi driver put it something like "The long-lost cousin finally makes it to the dinner invitation. What the hell took so long?" I do think a common ancestry and being conversant in the language made an enormous difference but so does a positive attitude. I think also a certain event not long ago where three average Americans from Sacramento, CA made a very positive impression in France. People remember these things. I will definitely return to France with my wife and spend much longer there. ;-) HinH
