Fwiw, I used to have long hair, then got “normal” haircuts, then short haircuts, then got buzzed, but lately with the corovirus shutting down places, waiting for them to open up again, having to make appointments, all those annoyances, a friend who buzzes himself asked me why I bother getting it done vs just doing it myself. Couldn’t think of an answer, so started doing exactly that. :laughing:
I just close off the sink, lean over, buzz away, then clean it out after. :laughing:
I gotta hop in the shower after. Otherwise I’m itchy no matter what. :confounded:
In the spirit of the thread, I was using the same buzzy thing (shaver? no. clipper? not really, so…) I’d used to “shave” my face, but it says to not use it on hair-hair. Figured out why, as it leaves loose hair snippets in crevices I never knew it even had. So I got a regular hair-type buzzy thing that’s meant for hair-hair.
’Twas a vipon special, must’ve been a while back ’cause it’s not popping up for me in recent-purchases.
If you’re hungry, and want food desperately, getting hosed once or twice is still worth it. It’s eating… it’s survival.
Can’t have a feeder only for “certain birds” any more than you can have a restaurant with a “whites only” or “no Irish” sign in the window. That’s just mean. And I got big angry starlings who stand on the bread I toss out for the normal birds, just to keep them away. So I wait for them to engorge themselves, then put out bread for the normal birds.
I put out the leftover catfood that my cats don’t finish (topping off with some crunchies if not enough), and let whoever wants it eat it. Mostly it’s New Cat, sometimes Fuzzy Cat, but t’other day were 2 big fat chittering raccoons(!) who were bitch-slapping each other for access to the bowl.
I had pigeons here for ages. There’d be a gray churning blanket of feathers that you couldn’t see the ground at all when they were all at the trough. Feathered locusts is what I called ’em. Sprinkle birdfeed for the normal birds, they’d land, and 5min later there’d be nothing put pigeoncrap left behind.
There’s a house whose yard abuts mine, with a ceramic owl on the roof to chase away pigeons. Ha! Not quite effective, ’cause I got a pic of that owl with a big fat pigeon sitting on the owl’s head.
After not feeding anyone for quite a while, they went elsewhere. Normal birds stayed around, eating seeds, bugs, whatever wild birds eat. Once the pigeons went away, fed the normal birds in slowly increasing quantities. Might get a stray pigeon who comes around, but that’s it.
