I got a haircut today s well. Great Clips, obviously. I have to keep it short because my hairline is making some cold concessions and if it gets too long I start to look like Jim Gaffigan.

Went to the medical center to get my foot checked out at lunch. I can finally start showering again like a normal person, and not with one leg hanging out of the cubicle. Also from next week I should be able to start doing Jiu Jitsu and going diving again

Wondering which RMer is about to drop a few hundred dollars on this
For a $50 to $75 donation, staff at an Oregon sanctuary will write your ex’s name on a “bloody heart” to be fed to one of their resident wildcats.

Good on ya, Higgs. I couldn’t imagine doing my dad’s or stepdad’s - wouldn’t be able to hold it together. Can’t imagine being able to even speak when my mom goes.
