I forgot about hair schools.<BR/><BR/>Young Momma: I'm just going to buy gift certificates for everyone, so they have to spend instead of save.<BR/><BR/>kittenpie: well, the cut itself wasn't reason enough to keep going. Not when my hair has looked the same since I was 20.<BR/><BR/>Mike: I'll just assume that by "I wish I had his hair" you aren't thinking about shaving my head.<BR/><BR/>Whit: that's because it's not a store; it's an abattoir, and even in crisis people like the slaughter.<BR/><BR/>Assertagirl: It would have 10 years ago, or if I lived anywhere else. But even the barber around here is $20. <BR/><BR/>Parents Community/Vered?: Damn straight. <BR/><BR/>FADKOG: Did she say it at all menacingly? Like "this is going to look great covered in blood from all the stabbing"?<BR/><BR/>anymommy: sweet :}<BR/><BR/>OM: that was the best comment :}<BR/><BR/>flutter: I know. I really hope I don't run into her again unless my hair is completely ragged.<BR/><BR/>JenPB: that's a lot of driving. And a lot of confidence.<BR/><BR/>Ali: because they do something that's pretty damned intimate to us.<BR/><BR/>Loralee: I think I need to get better with names.<BR/><BR/>Gerard: if my barber doesn't ask, I'm not going to volunteer it.<BR/><BR/>AmyAnne: My barber's moobs were almost that big.<BR/><BR/>Jerri Ann: Next time I'm just shaving it off.<BR/><BR/>Mama Smurf: now that's dedication :}<BR/><BR/>Petra aka the wise (young) mommy: I might do that yet. I once went about a year without a cut.Backpacking Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02498905428420679901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775208920171527729.post-48437362144447001852009-02-11T14:22:00.000-08:002009-02-11T14:22:00.000-08:00I have solved this economical problem by just not ...I have solved this economical problem by just not cutting my hair anymore.<BR/><BR/>yeah, I am looking GOOD.Petra a.k.a The Wise (*Young*) Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01717981499965181200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775208920171527729.post-49570846071862646172009-02-11T10:18:00.000-08:002009-02-11T10:18:00.000-08:00That's hilarious.My best friend cuts my entire fam...That's hilarious.<BR/><BR/>My best friend cuts my entire family's hair and I had to cheat on her yesterday. My boys both desperately needed a cut and yesterday was the only day I could do it until next week. They could not wait another week.
