when DIY goes wrong
« on: February 13, 2013, 08:19:41 AM »

some things should be left to a pro.
case in point.
looking in the mirror this morning i decided that i was getting a little shaggy.
me- hey honey, cmere and trim my hair. heres the electric clippers.
her- um ...ok.. BUZZBUZZBUZZZ
me- hows it look?
her- remember you  love me!
me- gimmie a mirror!
her-you have to say that you will still love me.
me- dont worry i will always love you.

i look like an escapee from devils island with the mange!

I like to  DIY when it comes to anything mechanical but with some other things not so much. I've got a couple of hair grooming stories to tell but they're best forgotten so I'll just say take comfort it the fact that sooner or later it WILL grow back!! :-*

I would never ask my wife to trim me, especially after an argument I am sure all kinds of things could go wrong. Remember Lorena Bobbit.

Hey it's like grass it will grow back. Just be thankful you have hair. My positive is that I save a lot $ on shampoo

She could've given your car a bad haircut (chop).  That would've been much worse!!!
Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!
